Triumph Recent Questions, Troubleshooting Help & Support

I would be careful with wiring on modern bikes. If you have ANY doubt pay a professional to do it for you. There are sensors on modern bikes that can be affected if the voltage is wrong. Causing possibly expensive issues. Go back and check you have the correct R/R for your bike. Wiring can be different between years and models especially with aftermarket parts.

Check the battery itself. Your battery may have gone bad, and is not staying above the lowest needed volts to run the tach etc. And worst case, there is something wrong with your charging system. Your regulator/rectifier might not being doing their jobs. I suspect the battery first and the charging system second. Good luck.

Question edited for clarity and add maker. Question moved from Cars and Trucks to model category. I have seen this happen due to air locks in fuel pipes where they are routed too close to hot surfaces. It does appear to be a known issue. https://www.google.com/search?q=2006+rocket+III+classic+hard+to+start+when+hot ..

Question edited for clarity and spelling.Question moved to model category.This is a situation where you need to hear the noise. In a car it can be slipping belts, or water pumps. On a bike I have heard is as a leak in the exhaust gasket. Hot gases blowing out 'squeaked. Other ideas here, it is a known issue.https://www.google.com/search?q=2005+Triumph+Daytona+650+squeak..

Sorry I don't have a solution, but I have a similar problem. At idle, I run about 14.2 volts and it stays that way up to around 5k, don't go higher in my garage. Anyway, my problem is when my fan kicks on. I have seen my volts drop into the low 10's when fan kicks on. If it is hot out and I am in dealing with lots of stop and go traffic, my fan will kick on a few times...normal so far. But, if this happens too many times without a good stretch of riding in between, my speedo will kick off or go to 188 on the gauge when the fan kicks on. As soon as I pull out the RPM's increase and all is well, but sometimes, I will actually loose my speedo all together. If I shut the bike off for a minute then start it back up, the speedo works fine. Any ideas???

To replace the battery in your Triumph wristwatch, you may need to use a specialized tool to release the steel hold-down. Here are the steps you can follow:

Remove the back of the watch using the tool you have.

Locate the battery and the steel hold-down. The hold-down is usually a metal plate that covers the battery and keeps it in place.

Use a flat screwdriver or a specialized battery removal tool to gently pry the hold-down up and release it from the battery. Some hold-downs are held in place with screws, so you may need to remove screws first.

Once the hold-down is removed, gently lift the battery out of its compartment.

Replace the old battery with a new one of the same size and type.

Replace the hold-down over the new battery and press it into place.

Replace the back of the watch, making sure to tighten the screws securely.

Note: If you're not comfortable with replacing the battery yourself, it is best to take your watch to a professional watch repair service for assistance. Replacing the battery improperly can cause damage to the watch.

Question edited for clarity. Question moved to model category. Sounds like fuel starvation or Idle Air Control. I found this Reader query: Triumph Daytona 955i ignition problems I have a 1999 Triumph Daytona 955i. It refuses to tick over when started from cold. After a couple of miles down the road, it seems fine. If I restart it before it gets cold it's OK. If I leave it longer than maybe an hour then the same problem occurs. Willblues, MCN forum. It sounds like it's running extremely lean. There's an initial check you can do yourself on the idle air control. It regulates the air from the airbox into the motor and you can get at it in the airbox. Remove the fuel tank and airbox and you should see a little plastic housing that pokes into the airbox with a little white disc that should rise and fall in response to throttle movement. The only problem with this is the FI management light will stay on after, until it has cycled three times. If that doesn't sort it, you'll need to get a dealer to run a diagnostic check on it to see if it has the correct map and idle fuel trim. https://www.google.com/search?q=1997+Triumph+Daytona+955i.+getting+to+temperature+it+stalls+and+dies ..

There are several possible reasons why the battery on your 1997 Triumph Daytona 955i may not be charging while you are riding it:

1. The battery may be faulty. If the battery is not holding a charge or is not functioning properly, it will not be able to charge while you are riding the motorcycle.
2. The charging system may malfunction. The charging system is responsible for supplying power to the battery while the motorcycle is running. If the charging system is not functioning properly, the battery will not be able to charge.
3. The voltage regulator may be malfunctioning. The voltage regulator is a component of the charging system that regulates the voltage supplied to the battery. If the voltage regulator is not functioning properly, the battery may not be able to charge.
4. The battery cables or connections may be loose or damaged. If the battery cables or connections are loose or damaged, the battery will not be able to receive a charge.

To troubleshoot the problem, you should start by checking the battery to see if it is functioning properly. If the battery is not the issue, you will need to check the charging system and voltage regulator to see if they are functioning properly. If the problem persists, it is recommended that you have the motorcycle inspected by a qualified mechanic. They will be able to diagnose the problem and recommend the appropriate repairs.

It sounds like the battery is flat. Turn the headlight on and try and start it. Does the headlight turn into a dim glow worm?

Unplug and remove motor cover. Try moving the motor and small belt. Tighten belt a bit. Plug in and Push start. If it fails to start check the carbon brushes of motor for wear/ replace. Try all same again. If it fails to start motor could be burned out.

Following... Mine started doing this and now seems to only have half power. Replaced spark plugs, disassembled and cleaned carb, and replaced air filter.

This is a common problem with the Daytona's 2002+. Typically its the charging system and if the battery level gets below 12v the instrument panel will not function properly (LED display will read or flash something other than what is normal). Recommend charging the battery and checking the voltage @ the battery while running. If voltage drops as RPM increase: Replace reg/rect. The Stator my also go bad too. Too T/S (remove tail section disconnect the 3 wire connector coming from the stator and pin check a/c voltage across two pins at a time. check condition of connector and wires, if it feels stiff and brittle replace wire loom and check 3 pin connector under the fuel tank. If still bad, should be Approx 45v a/c @ idle, replace stator OR send it out for a re-wind. It's cheaper more durable and you get a 1 year warranty. I recommend Custom re-wind for this.
