Re: [Bangalore] Meet my new possession: Triumph Street Triple in Phantom Black

No buddy....aisi hamari qismat kahan ...was at a ride for safety event in mumbai...clicked it there .

Re: [Bangalore] Meet my new possession: Triumph Street Triple in Phantom Black

You should definitely get one. Investing in Arrow exhaust is definitely something every Street Triple owner should do. It's worth every penny. . After the warranty gets over, I might try Competition Werkes too. 2013 Triumph Street Triple Competition Werkes GP Slip On - YouTube

Re: [Bangalore] Meet my new possession: Triumph Street Triple in Phantom Black

Werkes does sound great (more bass than Arrow) and extremely light weight but doesn't look all that good on TST, just my personal opinion and people may differ. Will have arrow installed next week if its available here.

Re: [Bangalore] Meet my new possession: Triumph Street Triple in Phantom Black

She has got Arrow'ed yesterday and there is definite improvement in performance, I was able go cross 220 this morning.

Re: [Bangalore] Meet my new possession: Triumph Street Triple in Phantom Black

Awesome Do you have the db-killers removed?

I got caught by a cop last weekend in the city for loud exhaust. Had to pay 300 without receipt. After paying the amount, I got home and checked via Smart Tools App, db levels were not even crossing 90db.

Re: [Bangalore] Meet my new possession: Triumph Street Triple in Phantom Black

Db-Killer is still on, I am planning to ride with it for couple of more weeks and then decide on it.

What is the acceptable db levels in the city, any idea?

I was advised by the dealer here not to install Arrow before registration as RTO may raise some question around loudness.

Acceptable level is 95db. But, I measured via a smartphone app under a certain conditions, so it's not entirely reliable.

Re: [Bangalore] Meet my new possession: Triumph Street Triple in Phantom Black


Triumph recommends normal pump gas. I always used to fill normal gas. Do you think there is significant difference with Sell Super? Any difference on engine character ?

GPM2 fromSC Project looks and interesting (+5HP, -3.4 Kg), If you fit the exaust and dont tinker with the mapping, I guess your warranty is safe. Just put the stock can back before claiming !


I am considering this Puig Windscreen over Triumph branded one.

Re: [Bangalore] Meet my new possession: Triumph Street Triple in Phantom Black

Ah !!! gee..take care man and the machine too...its a pity so see him with scratches...such idiots are prone on our indian roads and dont bother even to signal before taking a turn..bunch of thick skull heads...and most ppl remove their mirror as well...then what the hell is a mirror for...

Re: [Bangalore] Meet my new possession: Triumph Street Triple in Phantom Black

No, there is no difference except price. I do it because that's the nearest gas station for me & everybody tells that Shell gas is superior.

SC Project is actually a very good option but I didn't want to mess up my warranty in any way. I used to follow "oldmantriple" on youtube & he was pretty happy with that upgrade.

Let me know about the windscreen. That'll be an interesting upgrade to do. I want to hear some first hand experience before I invest in that.

@TheArcher84, I know , I was sad for quite some time. By the way, I got the radiator fairing replaced and it's as shining as new now.

Re: [Bangalore] Meet my new possession: Triumph Street Triple in Phantom Black

Wow..thats nice...have you added the radiator guard as well or have you got any fender extender...to keep the stuffs from flying and hitting the grill ?

Re: [Bangalore] Meet my new possession: Triumph Street Triple in Phantom Black

I've ordered Triumph Street Triple 675 Radiator Guard | Triumph Motorcycle Parts . It's the same one that [MENTION=20716]hifisharu[/MENTION] ordered for his Street. I ordered it a week ago.

Re: [Bangalore] Meet my new possession: Triumph Street Triple in Phantom Black

So, I paid a visit to Keerthi showroom for fitting the radiator guard and washing my bike which got very dirty due to heavy rains 3 days ago.


As the bike was cleaned, got a surprise. 7100kms later, the rear tyre was end of life. So, that is how much a Rosso Corsa rear tyre lasts if you ride the bike like you stole it.

My bike usage pattern:

• Mostly weekend rides & 2-3 times a week of city riding.
• No burnouts.

• Just full throttle accelerations.
• Tyre spins on wet roads or uneven road surfaces during full throttle.
• 200+ kmph on most weekend rides :P

Replaced the rear with another Pirelli Doablo Rosso Corsa (2014 Jan manufactured which is super awesome). Got it from the Keerthi showroom itself. The tyre was crazy expensive at ₹21k but I'm happy to get the OEM tyre and not compromise on other tyres. Other option was to get the SuperCorsa SP from a dealer in Mumbai which will last a lot lesser for me (probably 4500kms or lesser) & it'll be a 2012 tyre. For the interested, link to the dealer. Street focussed tyres like Pilot Road 2 or Rosso 2 were not an option because I like to scrape the footpeg with the confidence that at least tyres won't give up before my skill.



Front has still 2.78mm (around 1mm lesser than stock) of tread left so it'll last a lot longer.

Apart from the tyre change, got the radiator guard fitted & added the "poor man's tail tidy". We just have to unscrew the tail and remove some useless plastic, cost is just the labour charges.

That oil is because of chain cleaning in case anyone is wondering.
