- I have had my 2022 Triumph Speed Triple 1200RS for just over a year now. I've got just over 7,000 miles on it. This is a review of the modifications, service, adjustments and issues I've had with it.
These are the kinds of videos that make CZcams a great place. A real owner who has spent some real time with the bike giving an honest account of what has happened in that time. Thanks. I'm in no position to buy a bike like this, but it's interesting nonetheless.
Well, thank you for watching and I am glad you enjoyed the video.
Check back or subscribe because I plan to make some videos if real life interesting motorcycle "short stories" you may find interesting as well. I'm not sure as to when I'll be able to start these but I do plan on it.
Again thanks for watching. I really appreciate your comments.
Hello from Birmingham UK. My friend’s son has had one of these for 12 months. He was only 21 too. He loves his. I had a 98 T509 and a 955 Daytona. I loved them. I’ve stopped riding now. I’m 64 and too many back and body problems to carry on. The Triumph factory tour is great if you ever come to England. If you ever get the chance the TT at the Isle of Man is a massive eye opener. It’s actually frightening how fast the are. Good video. I enjoyed watching it.
Well thank you. I'm so glad you enjoyed it. I'm sorry to hear that you no longer ride. I know of a few riders who have started riding CanAn Spyders due to injuries. Maybe that could be an option for you. They don't lean but the riding position and controls are very motorcycle like.
I have put the Isle of Mann TT on my bucket list, but most likely will have to settle for videos of it. I find it hard to put aside even a few days the past few years to ride. Much less a few weeks.
Again, sorry to hear you don't ride anymore, but give your friends son my best and tell him to ride safe.
Cheers from the good Ole US of A.
@@scottsspeedtriplechannel He loves the quick change and cruise control. My friend tells me that it's so much faster than my old T509 and Daytona
@@niptodstan I love the quickshifter. I use the cruise control once in a while, mostly if I need to adjust a mirror or something like that.
You can get an idea of how fast it is in the "Top Speed Run" video. From about 80mph to 160mph in 5-6 seconds on a 5th gear pull.
Great outline of all you've done to the bike and your opinion of it. I was tempted to get one but the dealer offered me a crazy deal on the last of the 1050 RS's (in fact it was the last one available in the north of England) and I just couldn't turn it down. Happy riding and stay safe mate.
Thank you. Enjoy your new ride also.
Thanks for posting this-- great, comprehensive owner's review with a lot a useful info for potential buyer! Much appreciated-- enjoy and ride safe!
You're welcome and thank you for watching. I hope you find that perfect bike for you soon.
Great video… I’m coming up to my first year of ownership and apart from the standard few issues, that were quickly fixed, I’m totally in love with this bike. I went from the 1050 and don’t regret it a single bit 😎
I'm coming off a 2007 Speed Triple myself. You can see a short piece of video at the end of the "My Bikes" video.
I just watched a couple of your bike videos.
Thanks for watching and subscribing. I plan to have more up soon.
I had a 98, 01, 05, 11, and just traded in a 15 Speed Triple. This bike is so different...in a good way.
That's a great video, thanks for the work and effort you put into it!
Thank you for watching. I hope you come back to watch more in the future.
@@scottsspeedtriplechannel Are you open for some questions? I would like to know what you think about that too narrow gap between handle bar and front suspension. I can hardly get a 3mm allen key there. Also, I think the anodization is too fragile - it comes off very easily when you adjust pre-load. What were your solutions?
I'm fine with questions. I did adjust my handlebars forward a bit, but I seem to remember only being able to make about a half turn of the adjusters at a time. Just remember to count the clicks or turns for preload so you can keep it straight. When I first got the bike, I softened it all the way for both preload and dampening settings then stiffened it all the way and counted the turns or clicks do I would know what I had to work with. I saw a video or an ad for a cap that goes over the fork caps. It was designed so that you could turn the adjustment with your fingers. If I can find that again. I'll post a link.
I spent a few hours setting up the suspension when I first got her and then maybe an hour to stiffen it up a bit a few months down the road. It was tight fir a wrench, but I don't make adjustments yo it much.
@@scottsspeedtriplechannel Thanks. I found and ordered those adjusters already. I ride the bike on the race track as well as on the public roads. Therefore, I need to adjust frequently. Have a great time!
I loved this video and perspective. So much information that was objective, not a commercial. Looking to pick up a speed triple soon
Thank you. I'm glad you liked the video.
I hope you get one soon and enjoy it as much as I have.
Check back soon... I will be posting a long term review.
Thanks again, I really like getting comments. 🙂
@@scottsspeedtriplechannel looking forward to it Scott!
Hey its Sean. Another entertaining and informative video! love it. Hope all is well. Looking forward to more videos.
Thanks Sean. I hope to have more out soon.
Thanks for the video, I'm really looking to buy one, and I truly appreciate all the info and guidance you showed us. Just wanted to say that and ride safe.
Thank you. I'm glad you enjoyed the video. I hope you enjoy yours as much as I enjoy mine. 🙂
Really enjoyed your recount of the ownership experience. TBH I think you’ve been patient with Triumph over the issues; slack engine bolts could have ended in disaster, missing key just not acceptable and a loose side stand (oh dear!). Nice that you got your scrolling indicators, but the story just says “sloppy” Triumph. What a diabolical rascal the previous service manager was, no wonder he was let go. Like most of your mods, maybe not the auxiliary lights, but hey it’s your bike. I too think it’s a great machine. Hope you get as much pleasure over the years as with your previous 1050. Stay safe friend.
I'm glad you enjoyed the video and thank you for the sentiment.
Thanks for an honest and informative video. I'm a fan of triples, but had been thinking my next bike was probably going to be a Ducati Street Fighter V2 after test riding that and the Speed Triple. I found the suspension too hard and it was enough to put me off..... your comments here have swayed me back towards the Triumph....there's nothing quite like the banshee howl of a triple wide open..
Cool. Don't be mistaken about the suspension though. It is not going to offer a cushy ride. I weigh in at about 155 lbs and set to about 25% preload and thereabouts with all dampening, it's still firm.
You might consider the RR model if you like the ergos. It has the electronic suspension.
I got the turn signals as well. Huge upgrade over stock! You can take care of the service light with TuneECU and a bluetooth obd2 adapter.
Thanks. I'll look into that Tune ECU.
Thanks for watching. Enjoy your bike. 🙂
Great video and very informative, thanks for providing. I think you helped me get one step closer to pulling the trigger on purchasing the RS!
I don't know what your riding experience is, but this a fantastic machine.
If you've got a few years on a larger powerful bike, you'll love this one.
@@scottsspeedtriplechannel I’ve had numerous bikes, most recently Ducati Monster R, Streetfighter V4S and currently own a 2022 Ducati Pikes Peak, 996 and XDiavel S.
@@robertmontefusco1902 Very cool. I just was concerned about maybe giving a new rider bad advice. 🤣 The Speed Triple could be a bad idea for a first bike.
Now I'm sure you would love this bike. Good power, great brakes, incredible handling and comfortable to top it off.
I hope you enjoy whatever bike you decide on. 🙂
@@scottsspeedtriplechannel Picking mine up this Sunday. I also just ordered the flyscreen and the flyscreen visor. Do you find they offer any wind protection at highway speed or are they purely esthetic?
@@robertmontefusco1902 I always ride with a tank bag. Sometimes stuffed full and expanded, sometimes with minimal gear.
With minimal gear, the flyscreen and windshield deflect some wind over me, but when I'm packed full and the bag is expanded, I don't think it makes much difference.
I can't tuck under it unless there is virtually nothing in the bag. On days with really strong winds, I think it actually creates more buffeting than before I installed it.
Great review 👍🏻
Great bike
I have a 04’ Daytona black edition
Love it to this day 👍🏻
Thank you. This bike replaced my 2007 Speed Triple. It was white, but I had repainted it and used Union Jack Triumph logos on it.
If you watch my video called "My Bikes" you can see it near the end.
@@scottsspeedtriplechannel very cool 👍🏻
Beautiful review and awesome video!
Thanks Josh.
That 1200rr is nice... I must add that the owner has neat taste for appealing mods on this bike... my favorite bike is the xsr900 yamaha
Well thanks. It's actually the RS version, the RR has the quarter fairing, clip ons and electronic suspension.
I'm happy with the tried and true naked version though.
Brilliant source of information, cheers.
Thank you kind sir. I'm glad you enjoyed. Happy holidays and ride safe.
Great thorough feedbacks
Thank you. I'm glad you enjoyed it. 🙂
very detailed and informative thank you.
its a beautiful bike and with the added parts and carbon fiber looks even better.
I wish you many happy and safe miles on it.
Thank you so much for the wonderful sentiment. May you be happy and safe in all that you do as well.
That's good customer service to give a free service to compensate for the tank scratches
Yeah. I didn't ask for anything extra. I didn't haggle with them. I got the first one they got and paid full price with no extras.
So I guess the small scratches, the lack of back up key fob and the fact that I would have to return in a few weeks to have them reset the TPMS system are the reasons they offered a free first service.
I may have been able to get a better deal or price if I would have tried.
I guess if I would have botched enough they may have replaced the tank, but that would maybe have caused them to be less willing to work with me on scheduling shop visits.
Thanks for watching. I hope to hear from you again soon.
@@scottsspeedtriplechannel 4sure
great videos, lots of info
Thanks Dad, now tell me what you really think. 😉
Good review. Lots of useful information for anyone looking make the purchase.
About the directionals being illegal in the U.S. I believe it’s for the same reason they have strict guidelines for cars.
For cars there must be a larger area of a solid directional that illuminates before the sequential lights begin their dance towards the direction you are turning.
Could it be that the directionals on motorcycles are already small as it is…..I don’t know.
Come to think of it, it would be cool to see a thin ring or thin oval ring with a line of line of sequential lights.
All LED of course.
You are absolutely right. The requirement in the US is that upon initial activation the turn signal must be of a certain amount of lit area. Brightness and distance of visibility do not matter.
Upon initial activation of the scrolling Triumph signals only one tiny LED is lit, not enough area covered. In reality they are brighter, can be seen better at distance and also will catch other motorists eyes quicker than the standard Triumph signals.
Sometimes regulations don't really do justice.
Thanks for commenting. Glad you watched the video.
Very interesting video. I have a 2019 Triumph Scrambler XC 1200 currently. Same key fob. I never received a backup key fob, not sure if mine should have been supplied with one. I'll have to look into this. Previously owned a 2013 Daytona, sold in March. Likely going to grab a Speed Triple 1200 RR. Loving how informative your video was. Thanks!
First, thank you so much for watching. I hope you enjoyed the video and will continue to watch in the future.
To the best of my knowledge, every new vehicle sold is supposed to come with two keys or key FOBs. I think this is some type of law. As for the Scrambler I don't know the particulars about the bike so cannot say if it comes with a full size backup or a tiny black non-powered one. You probably saw the pictures of the backup in the video. It's about the size of a US penny.
They told me that the backup was not in the original crate/ packaging when they received the bike. I think it was so small that it got lost or tossed. It's important to have a second key for any vehicle you own. A damaged or lost key/FOB without a backup makes you dead in the water.
BTW, I'm sorry I did not respond sooner. For some reason this comment did not show up in the regular place. I just now noticed it while in YT Studio checking analytics.
Once again, I appreciate your views and comments. Thanks for watching and have a great day. 🙂
@@scottsspeedtriplechannel Appreciate it dude! Holding onto my Scrambler of course, but I ended up going a very different route as far as a sport bike. Placed a deposit on a 2022 Ducatti Streetfighter V2!
@@KevinRayCole Should be a ton of fun.
I’m about to buy one - picking up on Saturday - trading in my 2020 1050 RS
Congrats Colonel. What color are you getting?
Hey,
i really enjoy your videos! they are great and you got a lot of modifications done which i wanna do myself.
Do you need to remove the indicators to mount the radiator side panels? If yes is it easy? where is the plug located
And do you have a link to the black fairing bolts? are they stainless steel?
thx!
Thanks. I'm glad you like the videos. Yes you have to remove the turn signals and the plug is behind the radiator cover. It is simple to do.
I bought a cheap kit of fairing bolts on Amazon. They were aluminum, but they were garbage. Three broke the first time I tried to remove them. I ended up replacing them with the originals.
Watch the installing carbon fiber bits and you'll see the kit and the broken bolts.
Very nice bike, great extras, Not sure on the tank protectors, I would have paint pro film personally, and a deer whistle instead of the lights, but to each his own.
Thanks Ray. I've heard from truck drivers that the only thing those deer whistles do is call dogs. I'm not sure what the paint pro thing is though.
@@scottsspeedtriplechannel paint protection film, is a very thin clear vinyl that is almost invisible, it's used on expensive cars to protect against chips and scratches in the most valuable places, along with ceramic coating.
@raymorris952 Cool. I might look into that. Because I always have a tank bag on when I ride, the paint gets damaged after a while. If that stuffs not too expensive, I might try it.
But my next investment may be a remapping to change the fueling/timing, the exhaust valve opening and elinate the top end limiter.
Enjoyed the whole video! I have owned 4 triumph motorcycles and was wondering if the speed triple or street triple were my next bike. Obviously there is a big price difference. I am very sorry the parts manager was such a sore experience, people like that ruin loyalty. In 2013 i had a deer run out of the woods and collide with my front tire. I do not remember any of it but must have straightened my leg out to prevent the bike from going over, which resulted in my femur bone being pushed up through my pelvis shattering it. I had a pelvis replacement and took about 8-12 months to walk again. Deer are the most stupid animals on the planet be careful!
I am truly sorry to hear about your accident. I hope you are up and riding soon if not already.
I'm glad you enjoyed the video. I will be posting some new ones soon.
Hi, great video! I really like the turn signal! Are the front and rear kit the same? Do you have the part number and do you need anything else to install?
Thank you for watching. The front and rear kits are the same. I can't get to the parts number right now, but it is a Triumph OEM accessory. They can look it up. If you are in the USA, they may not be able to get it though.
Nice ride this Gett from 4M Soluition
Thanks Gett. Yeah, this is my baby. I'm going to try to start riding it to work a bit more. See you there.
A little fyi. Today when getting my new bike the owner told me that the key fob turns on and off. So if you are near your bike and someone could jump on it and take off with your fob near...they cannot do it with the fob off. Also the fob's battery won't run out while active and you not on the bike if it is turned off.
Yeah. I always turn it off when away from the bike. He'll you don't even need to turn it on to dtart the bike if you don't want to. With the key fob off just hold it under the tail section on the right side of the bike a couple of inches in at the rear of the seat and press the start/stop/run/etc. switch like you normally would. This us how you would use the backup key fob or if the battery dies in your fob.
The carbon parts on the cooler are awesome - where did you get these? Original Part of the 1200RR?
Thanks. It's not an OEM part of the RR. I ordered all the carbon fiber parts from Carbon FBR in England. They have a website.
Hi Scott, how would you compare the trottle response, smoothness and sound to the 05-10 Speed Triple?
My '07 Speed Triple was not "fly by wire". The throttle was more responsive to input. It did not take as much twist to start moving from a stop. Being my first "fly by wire" bike that I've owned, I just thought that was how they all must be. From day one, I felt like I had to give the bike more gas to get rolling.
On the bright side, it also seems that when hitting jarring bumps or rough areas that wrist twitch doesn't upset the speed of the bike. Not as many abrupt throttle changes that I don't mean to happen.
I've heard of the pieces you can get for some bikes to take up the slack in the "FBW" throttles to give it a more instantaneous response. I think I would like to try that, but haven't found one yet for the new model.
Soundwise, the '07 and the 1200 are very different. Even though they are both triples, the new model is freer spinning and larger.
I had the original OEM exhaust on the '07 and it had a 3 into 1 into 2 setup. After 30,000 miles, it had an incredible off throttle burble, almost backfire sound. I liked it a lot. The mufflers were up closer to your ears also.
The RS with the 3 into 1 into a split muffler just won't sound the same. I get a slight bit of burble on deceleration with the new muffler, but not very noticeable.
I used to ride the '07 to lots of race events and longer trips. The higher mufflers made using saddlebags a real problem. If I do any trips with the 1200, I think saddlebags will be easier to use.
Have you watched the "Installing the SC Project muffler" video? I have some audio from the 1200 OEM compared to the new muffler. My attempt at using a laptop with a desk mic failed, so the audio is all Go Pro, but you could get an idea. I never recorded anything about the '07 so I don't have any sound from it to use.
I am not a fan of ride by wire bikes. I sold my 2017 Aprilia Tuono because of its ride by wire on/off & snatchy throttle. I have a local guy selling a 2010 Speed Triple with only 2800km. Was you old Speed reliable? Did it use oil or other issues?
I sold my '07 to a friend with about 70,000 miles on it. I broke it in a bit hard, and it did burn about 1/2 quart of oil between oil changes (every 3,000 miles).
I maintained it pretty well. It had some issues with the charging system. The battery sits on it side and with the old school maintainence free liquid filled batteries it would kill a battery every year or so. I changed to a gel or matte type battery and that was solved. However, before I changed battery types, it caused a couple of regulator/rectifier failures and one time killed the stator. The issue with those was the connector (3 yellow charging wires from the stator). The connection was made from different materials than the copper wire and would not flow perfect with heat and such. The simple fix is to direct connect the stator wires (eliminate the connector) Sauter copper wire to copper wire. After that I did not have the problem again.
I had the bike nearly 15 years, ride on all conditions sometimes putting 1,500 miles in a few days. Mostly just regular problems.
Zero engine or transmission problems. One thing I found strange was that any coolant I would put in the overflow tank would just boil out.
Scott thanks for an amazing review - im trading in my o6 for a 2023 - ive owned multiple - speeds over the years - from first gens and including a 2022 that I sold because of a health issue - is that triumph brand fly screen and wind shield ?? or after market - ?
That is the OEM Triumph accessory. It is the flyscreen and the windshield.
You can get the flyscreen without the windshield if you prefer.
Nice review. Can someone explain the dark colored brake fluid container? So we can not see the fluid is to be replaced?
It is tinted, but you can see through it. You can't see the actual color of the brake fluid through it, but you can see if it is very clear or cloudy.
Also, I generally just change it about once a year.
Was the back up fob free. I only got one am I supposed to get two?
Yes it was free. You are supposed to get two when you buy the bike. One is the full size FOB with the button to deactivate it and the second is basically an RFID chip coated in plastic.
I wanted to ask you a quick question, are you able to have the running lights on when riding ?
What I mean is, does one of the headlights turn on when you ride ? Like the KTM superduke 1200, you can ride with just the running lights.
Thanks in advance.
In the US, the headlight has to be on whenever the engine is running. So I can't ride with just the running lights.
I think in England that they are able to switch off the headlights and have only the running lights on.
Yes euro spec has daytime running lights that you can switch to.
How would you compare the chassis between this latest model vs the 2007 one? Did it make the bike handle better in the cornera? My understanding was that the 2007 one wasnt as nimble as the same generation street triples, which was what i had. But thinking about getting this latest gen speed triple.
I worked at a Triumph dealership in 07. I've ridden the Street Triples then too. The Speed Triple was definitely a heavier bike then as far as handling and nimbleness goes. The Street Triples in 07 were far more agile. That is not to say the Speed handled poorly, just took a bit more effort to move it around.
From the 07 to today's Speed Triples there is just as big if not a bigger difference. In one of my videos I even mention that the 07 felt more stable than the 22 model, especially in high winds.
The new Speed Triple goes into turns so quickly and easily that it feels more like a Street Triple than the old 07 Speed Triple.
This is by far one of if not the best handling motorcycles I have ever ridden. I liked the ergonomics of the 07 and it handled well, but the 2022 is absolutely incredible.
It's just so easy to ride. You may have heard about how it makes you feel confident, well that is so true. Please take a test ride on one. Take it through some curves, use the brakes a bit and roll on the gas from 5,000 rpm one time and I guarantee you'll believe me.
This model was re-engineered from the 2021s and Triumph got it right. I'm not just saying this because I own one.
BTW, thanks for watching and commenting. I really like hearing from you guys.
I plan on making a 10,000 miles with the Speed Triple video soon. Keep an eye out for it.
Thanks for the detailed response Scott! It seems like everyone is confirming that the new speed triple chassis has massively improved to close on the gap to the street triples. I like the versatility of taking it into the mountain roads, but still being able to have useable torque in the city and highways. The street triple is a great bike but it is lacking the low and mid rpm torque.
You're quite welcome and by all means, take one on a test ride.
Hi Scott, iv the same rs as you in black, even the carbon bits an black boots the same also. Have you had any issues with faults flashing up after fitting the sc can, iv a pro race carbon with a healtech exhaust servo but faults are still flashing up. My dealer says it's the healtech at fault, still waiting for a warranty replacement for healtech replacement. Just took can off an replaced with STD can too see if faults return. Thanks from the UK. Ian.
Thanks for watching and commenting on the 1 year video. I have not installed my SC Project slip on muffler yet. I do not plan to remove the exhaust valve and servo motor.
I don't know if I will use a full system or have any "flashes" done yet.
I'll post a new video once the new muffler is on though.
Hey Ian, I've installed the SC Project CR muffler. I left the exhaust valve in place and active. I did not have any fault codes.
I'll be posting a video soon with decibel and sound comparisons as well as impressions. Hope you watch it.
What were the engine case torque settings and where do you find them?
That's a great question. You can't buy a hardcopy of the Triumph service manuals anymore, so hopefully your closest dealer is willing to give you information when you need it.
When I tightened them because they were loose, I just did it by feel.
Sorry I don't know.
Hey Scott wondering if you have some specs on the bike. Like the size of the 12 point rear nut remover. Also the size of the pin you need for a paddock stand. Thanks for any help you could provide!
The rear wheel socket is available on Amazon. I don't know the size, but if you look up Ducati rear wheel hub socket you will see it. I don't think you will need to know the size. It's a very unique socket.
I also do not know the exact pin size, but there are different sized pins for each side. I am not currently at home, but if you respond back to me later I will get some calipers out and measure them for you.
Also. Watch the video of the tire change. It has a good picture of the socket.
BTW, thank you for subscribing.
Hey Scott no luck on the nut remover the one I bought did not fit. Is it possible to get the part number of the one you used. The issue with the one I bought was it would not grip over the nut. By the way the pin is 40.7 mm. I had the dealer check. Thanks for any help you could provide.@@scottsspeedtriplechannel
@@sban226 According to the description on Amazon the socket is 55mm. The one I ordered is currently unavailable, but I saw a few more that look the same. You can look it as a Ducati rear wheel socket. It will also fit the Panagale, 1098, 1099 etc. It has a smaller socket built in for the front axle of those bikes too.
Where did you get the tank protector pads?
I got them from Amazon. They were pretty cheap, like about $15. There were a lot of "brands" that all looked the same shape and had the same description, so I went with ones I could get in 2 days.
If you are interested, I saw a set of tank protectors that match the logo
"1200RS". They came with three pads, one for the space between the seat and the tank and one for each side of the tank. I saw the first on E-bay, but also saw them on Amazon. I don't remember the brand name. They came in two colors, silver and black to match.
BTW, I used three of the tank protectors that I used to cover the tank from the front all the way to the seat.
Hey they have some killer deals on the speed RS right now and I am thinking of trading my street triple RS for one. If I do what should I do to the bike right away so I can avoid some of the problems I have been hearing about ?
My understanding is that the new bikes should already have all the recalls done by now. I got one of if not the very first one in my area. I had a deposit on it almost 3 months before the dealers got them.
I would say you should just verify that the rear brake rotor bolts, the radiator heat guard, and the indent shifter indent arm recalls have been done. Make sure the computer has been fully updated. Also keep an eye out for loose engine cover bolts over the first few thousand miles. Other than those things, I don't know what else you would need to watch out for.
Enjoy the ride whether you keep the Street or trade up to the Speed.
@@scottsspeedtriplechannel thank you for your insight sir! I have to say this is the best real world review that I have seen for this baby. Now for that 10k mile review
for the turn signal are the front and rear the same? I can only find the front ones online.
Yes. The front set and the rear set are exactly the same. These are the OEM Triumph accessory scrolling turn signals.
@@scottsspeedtriplechannel thank you so much. I have to buy them online. My local dealer said they can’t buy them because they are not listed on the triumph’s website
@@wenxionghao9242 They are not approved for use in the US, which is silly because they are way more visible than the original ones. I was lucky, I got them on a glitch through Triumph. Ordered at the dealership and they got sent by mistake.
Am in the uk and we only get one key fob two
You might want to get a spare in case something happens to the one you have. It's always good to have a backup.
Am I crazy or is the engine off button touch sensitive? Like you just touch it to turn the engine off and you don't have to press.
The "on-run-start-stop" switch is all in one. That's new to me. All of my previous bikes had keys and a switch for kill or run (on or off) with a button to press to start the engine.
This bike has one switch and of course no key. The ignition switch is a toggle switch with momentary switches on the upper and lower sides. To turn the bike to the on position so that the screen comes on, toggle the switch up, then press up momentarily. The screen comes on. To shut off the screen, momentary press up again.
To start the bike you must toggle the switch down into the run position, then press the momentary switch down to activate the starter. You can either turn on the screen first, then switch to run mode or toggle down before turning on the screen for "quick start" mode. If you toggle down first the screen won't come on until you start the bike.
The toggle switch is always down when the bike is running and to turn it off, you toggle it up. Then the engine shuts off. To shut the screen off momentary press up.
To lock the steering, turn the handlebars to the side before shutting off the screen and press the "lock" button which is mounted above the "on-run-start-stop" switch. Then the screen shuts off and the steering lock activates.
To address your original question; it does take a bit of pressure to activate the toggle and momentary switches, but there is no separate button to start the bike.
I guess this might be the way bikes are heading with all the keyless ignition.
Are you subscribed? If not, subscribe and reply back to me and I'll put together a video showing the start, stop keyless system for you. It may be a few weeks, but I promise I'll get one done.
@Scott's Speed Triple Channel you're good. No need to. I bought a speed triple 1200 rs yesterday. Thank you though. I will still subscribe.
@@rogerseelbach5330 That's fantastic Roger. Enjoy your new ride. Thanks for subscribing.
How was the wind protection?
I ride with a large tank bag which pretty much eliminates the wind on my chest.
Before putting the flyscreen and windshield on, there was very little helmet buffeting. After installing the flyscreen and windshield, there is a bit more buffeting.
I only feel any wind moving my head around on breezy days or nights. When it's calm I don't feel any buffeting.
Hey what I have a hard time believing is we dont have rear cameras on motorcycles with the image on display instead of dumb mirrors! I envision a really large TFT display large enough for all the information and shot of whats on your 6. It could even be a smart cam system that alerts you when someone comes up behind for instance and also could have the option of loop recording and maybe a momentary button that zooms? COULD be just SO superior to mirrors in every way so I dont understand why we are not seeing such even on high end stuff yet?? And hey with a REALLY smart system it could even store image types to look for similar to facial recognition except it would look for things like I dont know? POLICE CARS? Actually would not even need to recognize the vehicle it could read LICENSE PLATES and warn you for ANY government plates coming ANYWHERE in the cameras view! And ANY motorcycles too (as cop bikes dont have front license plates we'd just have to maybe settle for it spotting motorcycles with windshields? which would be fine ....anyway Tell me THAT wouldnt be so cool? And its totally doable right now technolody wise! so where is it?? Should at least be on high end cars by now if nothing else??
I have seen several bikes with aftermarket rearview/backup cams (designed for cars) installed. I always thought that was a pretty cool idea. I also think that you can now get in helmet displays that show on your face shield, like the ones in cars that show on the windshield. I wonder what that would be like.
I was mystified why the heck anyone put aux headlights on a sportbike until you explained your ride in the dark in heavy deer country ...yeah i get it now and would do the same thing no matter how unusual it seems to anyone lol ....Deer or livestock in the road is terrifying to think about! You can zero out your risk in so many areas with knowlege and skill but wildlife and livestock ? The only thing that zeros that risk our is either not riding or riding slow and niether thing is happening! Speaking of I came within a foot or two of hitting a good sized turkey at speed a few days ago ....pretty sure it would only have been one dead turkey and a mess to clean up ....maybe both the bike and my UNDERPANTS lol....big damn bird!
Yeah. I'm glad you didn't have an early Thanksgiving dinner. When I tagged that deer in the truck a few years back, it bounced the 50 or 60 pounder a good hundred feet. No damage to the hood, windshield, quarter panels or roof, but still $5,500 in damage. So those lights on the bike just seemed like an easy decision.
What tank bag is that
It is made by Chase Harper. I don't remember the model name. There was a smaller one, but I have the large one.
I preferred American spirits, but that’s just me. 🤔 Nice bike. 👍
Thanks. Keep the bugs off your glass and the bears off your tail.
Hello Scott, have you experienced overheating issue on your speed triple? like the coolant overflow tank boiling and coolant try to escape to the hose underneath the bike
I have not had any overheating issues or loss of coolant on this bike.
My 2007 Speed Triple would boil out any coolant in the overflow, but did not overheat. Watch my "adjusting the chain and adding coolant" video for more info.
@@scottsspeedtriplechannel thank you for your reply, Im actually working at a triumph dealer in Vietnam, just checking how the 1200rs doing in other markets
@24:12 what screen is that I don't have that screen and I also didn't have three break in limiter screen
The screen showing at 24:12 popped up one cold night on my way home from work. The outside temp was about 40 degrees Fahrenheit. It says Caution- Risk of Surface Ice. I live in Florida, but it still gets to freezing once in a while.
The break- in limiter screen I mentioned was an option when setting the redline. I had 3 options to set when the screen would show that the engine was being overrevved, normal, custom and break in. It was set to break in when I picked it up. So for the first 100 to 200 miles when I exceeded like 2500 rpm it would show red. Then as the mileage increased it would automatically update to the next level. It did this until I reached 1,000 miles then it went to normal.
It followed the recommendations that were on the sticker on the tank.
You can customize at what rpms the screen will show redline at.
@@scottsspeedtriplechannel how do you do that. I never knew that. I mean I know that there is a shift light but I never had that tell me I was exceeding the rpm. I wouldnt have followed it anyway I like breaking in hard
@@2UpVids I am currently installing my tank and frame infills so the bike is down, battery out. Once I get her done I'll look through the settings for you.
I want to say it is under settings or controls, but I haven't actually ever changed it. It was set to break in mode when I got it and I assume it's set to normal now since I've had it up to 9,000 or maybe 10,000 a few times and no shift light has come on.
Yeah I leave my shift light normal.on this bike cuz honestly you don't really need it. I can feel the power band very easily so I shift long before it's maxed out atleast most the time lol
@@2UpVids Yeah. Getting way up in the rev range sure changes the nature of this beast.
I'm going to go through and start deleting a bunch of video soon, maybe I'll find that piece with the front wheel "skipping" off the ground.
I hope it's not gone.
Hi Scott. Few things. I hit a deer at night at about 55mph years ago and did not go down somehow. Bike got busted up a bit and meat stuck in frame. So I quit riding at night. Next I just picked up my new 2022 Speed Triple today and find I cannot cover the brake pedal with my foot as it seems partially engaged. So am I to just keep my foot to the side of the brake pedal? And finally have you seen this muffler? Looks to eliminate all the brackets in back if I do away with the foot pegs and install the Tail Tidy? Do not know the company that makes it. czcams.com/video/kIf3VOYoa7w/video.html
Normally when I ride, my toes are on the pegs mist of the time unless shifting or braking. If I do ride with the center of my foot on the peg, my toes are to the side of the brake lever and shifter. I have to reposition my foot a little to shift or brake. As far as the brake lever being partially engaged, I doubt that. You would probably smell it or at least feel the excess heat. Do you feel a drag when riding or when rolling the bike? Also if the height of the brake lever is the issue, I think it can be adjusted somewhat up or down. I adjusted my shift lever down a bit because my new boots were thinner than the old ones. The brake should not be partially engaged until you engage it.. be careful with that
That might be a Zard exhaust. Do a search for 2022 Triumph Speed Triple 1200RS exhausts and mufflers and you will find a few more that are "shirty" styled and utilize no bracket in the rear. I think I've seen at least two besides the one in the link you sent. I like the look if the one you found there though.
@@scottsspeedtriplechannel Thanks Scott. Love (love) this bike.
I must say for a $20K otd premium motorcycle, I’d expect a lot more quality control. Besides the horrendous looking exhaust, your video convinced me to stay with a Yamaha MT. Good luck with your issues.
Thanks for watching and commenting. Even though some people have had serious rideability issues, mine were minor. All the issues have been completely remedied.
I have finally received my SC Project muffler too, so the ugly exhaust will soon be a thing of the past.
I hope you continue to watch the channel. Ride safe, have fun and enjoy the summer season.
Can I have it?
No.

An oldie but a goodie. 🙂
THIS IS WORST BIKE OF MY LIFE , I AM THE FIRST OWNER OF THIS BIKE IN INDIA AND IN TWO MONTH COLLEN LEAK OIL TANK RUBBER BROKE..
CONTINOUS PROBLEM IN SCREEN.
I NEVER DROVE IT IN A BAD MANNER..
I'm sorry to hear that. You are not alone. Some other people got lemons as well. Some of them have been able to return the bikes because they had so many issues. If you are not able to get your issues resolved maybe you could return yours also. I got the very first one in my area and have had only a few minor issues. Not one issue which caused me to not be able to use the bike or cause damage to it. Again sorry you got a bad one.
@@scottsspeedtriplechannel they straight away cheated me with the bike..engine is damage ...what should i do please help me
@@abhishekparakh4159 I don't know about the consumer laws in India, but if you have financed the bike, contact the lender and see if they could help. They are the ones who paid for the bike and if you aren't going to pay them because the bike is crap, they might try to get something done. Other than that I would contact consumer affairs or better business bureau or a similar entity.
@@abhishekparakh4159 You might want to contact the Triumph customer satisfaction department if the dealership can't help. Sometimes they will help get the bike fixed right and possible refund some of your money.
Can I have it?
No.
