Good review. Thanks. Ive heard others mention the heat issue so I dont think that's unique to your own bike. About the wiring, yours seems to have the round indicators rather than the standard thin oval ones? If so then whoever fitted then may have caused that wiring issue.

1:45 Thruxton: “Am I dead to you?”

there is a gen 2 now that solved some of those issues and added a couple of HP and upside down forks...

My experience with the fuel gauge is the same with my 2023 Speedmaster. The tank needs to be filled right to the top of the neck so that the gauge registers as full and solves the problem.

On fill up my ST reports about 165, never beneath 150, thats the 2019 version

@Ilovetriumphbikes Ай бұрын

Lovely bike. Hope you enjoy it. I did the same as you, traded my Scrambler 900 for the Speed Twin. I don’t have the option of putting V&H.. they were an optional extra for your bike, but not an option on mine. 😊😊

Well done Ollie, great insight. It would be useful to know how tall you are. I'm 6' and even then there are a lot of bikes which give me cramp!

@turnthekeypov5044 25 күн бұрын

Thanks for the comment Richard 🙂 I'm 6ft 2 but even so this bike doesn't give me any bother for its size.

Great review, did you turn the bars?. Bring back the reserve tap position.

@turnthekeypov5044 Ай бұрын

Actually this was done under the previous owner. Thanks for the comment!

Thanks for the review, Motone do a good Monza cap which would be a good replacement.

@dirkdiggler5164 3 күн бұрын

It looks great. You can get it black or not so black.

@CostosLotsamoula Ай бұрын

If you get rid of the cat and O2 sensors I've noticed a much cooler ride compared to my 865 Bonnie. Of course when the fan comes on it blows heat just like any other liquid cooled bike. I normally ride in ambient temps of 20° to 32°C, no problem if you keep moving.

@tomostinato2918 Ай бұрын

Would recommend turning the monza fuel cap round so that it opens towards the bars. It's easy to do, there's a vid on KZfaq somewhere.

How's the stopping power with the older Brembo's up front?

Hi Jimmy, thanks for asking. I'm yet to find their limits but they seem pretty good so far.

An initial impressions review of a 5 year old bike? I'd say not a big deal except 2021 was a refresh year so a few major things have been changed such as the exhaust and especially the rmfront suspension

@KAWA369 Ай бұрын

Yeah just wondering how tall you are I’m 6 4 would I swamp it always wanted a modern Bonnie.

@turnthekeypov5044 Ай бұрын

I'm 6ft 2 👍 Never had that issue with a Bonnie myself.

@MrWallexxx Ай бұрын

Hey, I have the same bike and you can leave the gas cap unlocked so it’s easier when fueling up :)

@turnthekeypov5044 Ай бұрын

Many thanks, I did not know that 🙏

@B4c4lh0 Ай бұрын

Ye all the bonnies run pretty hot and unfortunately i can't get rid of the cat which is the cause of the heat at least where i leave at it seems bike inspections will be a thing over here.

@mikehannan8206 Ай бұрын

Yup, burning knees was the only reason I didn't buy a speed twin. Settled for the 2023 XSR900, which runs much much cooler, don't know why but it does so I bought it instead.

@turnthekeypov5044 Ай бұрын

That's a good point, and come to think of it I've actually heard this before. Thanks for the comment 🙂

@TriumphLover Ай бұрын

I don't lock the inner fuel cap. Just pop the monza and twist the cap. Easy peasy
