Triumph triples with off-road pipes give me wood.

I saw a 2001 Sprint with over 100K miles and all was well.  Does anybody know of a triple that was shelled-out?

Well...about two weeks and 200 miles have passed and I'm very pleased with my Tiger!  Thanks for all the encouragement and guidance down the correct path.  Between your feedback and that on TriumphRat forum...I steered clear of the Daytonas and Sprints (for now) and started my Triumph experience with the 2006 Tiger.  I had a few dollars left in the budget, so I picked up a few close-out items, including a Bell Apex Matrix helmet, Teknic Monsoon Gortex Jacket, and Olympia Kelvar Gloves.[/img]

Great looking ride.  Chalk up another tiger owner for the PA riders.  We still have a long way to go to catch up to the Georgia coalition!

For real.

How the hell did that happen, anyway?  Georgia USA leading the way in the internet Tiger populous... I thought all we did was Coca-Cola and bad presidents.

Yes - but it was owner inflicted. His bike died about 75 miles from here. Turns out he took off the airbox and lost (unbeknownst to him) the rubber gasket to the idle motor. He rode to Alaska and back outside without the ever critical gasket. Because he had basically bypassed the fiilter he scuffed his cylinders so bad he lost compression completely - wouldn't fire anymore. He sold it locally to a guy who put new sleeves and pistons on it and now rides it everywhere. The original owner bought a V-Strom and continued to the coast, I assume he has been assimilated into the collective.

Moral of the story - Watch that gasket :shock:

Hmm, I'm not exactly clear on what gasket he left off.  What is the Idle Motor?

Steamers don't have them.  It's a fuel injection thing.
