    Re: Triumph Street Twin- The 2000km ownership review

    Guys got a doubt wether installing a 340mm height windshield will obstruct wind and make the rider dehydrated and sweated when in city and during summer season??

      Puig is having many windscreen models for street twin and price starts from 6k. The Mumbai dealer said the delivery time is two weeks with free shipping. Wether installing windshield is a good option for riding mostly in city??

        While I haven't tried the windshield on the Triumph, I've used the RE Himalayan with the windshield and my old duke had a windshield. Putting a windshield seriously compromises ventilation around the upper body area. So if your riding is mostly city, I strongly advise against it. Even for the highway, if your riding is normally under 120kmph, you don't need a windshield.
        It's really hot most of the year around Mumbai, where I stay, so no wind on the body is terrible for comfort.

          This is the reason I'm in a confusion of getting one. Let me think over it again.

            If you do a good amount of riding on highways, a windscreen can be a great help in reducing wind blast and fatigue. I use one on my Continental GT and on weekend highway rides, the windscreen is a boon. If your riding is restricted to just in city usage though, you are better off without the windscreen from a functional perspective.

              Is a tachometer available as an option like the old model Bonnie?

                No. It's not even listed in the accessories section.

                  Too bad. They could have had an analog tach with digital speed readout in the inset display.

                        I weight 60kgs. My brother weighs 93kgs. So I adjust the preload accordingly. It makes a difference, and prevents it from hitting on speed breakers with my brothers weight.
                        The tool should fit in the hole, that's what I used. Sure you doing it correctly?
                        And you don't specifically need that tool only. Any metal that is strong enough and fits the hole should do the job.

                          Lovely! How was the suspension? Did it bottom out?
                          I also see you didn't switch your tires to knobby ones, how much grip did the stock ones give?
                          And did you happen to peg ride? Is it comfy?

                            It didn't bottomed out at all. I'm weighing 67kgs. Suspension is in hardest setting. This tyre gives you a reasonable grip in the off-roading trials but sometimes glides over the gravel paved roads so we have to be careful a few times.First I rode with traction control on and it makes the bike slows down or stop while you are accelerating so remember to switch off the traction control when off roading. After switching off the traction control the sheer low end torque makes you move over any trials easily. And mainly the seat height gives us extra advantage of controlling the weight and gliding of the bike over gravel roads.i felt satisfied and going to do this route once again after installing the sump guard with full josh. No i didn't get a chance to peg ride.

                              I tried with that tool only but it didn't fits in there. Let me try again.
