Blank Off Triumph Sprint Alarm Connector
Re: 1050 triple starting trouble. I just returned from Assen on speed-triple 1050R and upon arrival at Le Shuttle the bike failed to churn/start properly after check-in. Checked battery terminals were well connected, and took a jump start from staff on site to get going, but the bike wouldn't self start.
01 January 2014bygarybariHad my '99 Sprint for nearly two years and covered 14k commuting to work in all weathers and it still looks as good as the day I bought it. Other than regular servicing, usual consumables and a clutch cable it hasn't missed a beat. I can't recommend it highly enough. Maybe it can't compete with some of today's exotica but nothing gives you as much bang for the buck. Engine and brakes are excellent, my only criticism would be the lights but I could probably sort those with an upgrade. If you want a reliable commuter/tourer with a 200+ mile range that puts a smile on your face then don't hesitate, doubt you'll get anything better for your money. 20 October 2013bymarkis42Just completed a year with my 2003 St and I love it!Fast,frugal and reliable are just some of its many qualities.Only problem I have is my wrists and that's me not the bike.
This will be sorted soon with some bar risers I hope.The triple sounds fantastic at all speeds and there is enough power to please even the most throttle hungry rider.Two up loaded with gear still handles well and gives 52mpg every time.I tried a 1050 but it just was not the same.If you need a good used sports tourer I cant think of anything that compares. 19 June 2013bytroispattesMy tornado red from 99 has now covered over 50K (06/13) without missing a beat. Just regular service and the usual parts needing replacement.Since 99, I have tried every single sports/tourer out there and, for a long, long time, could not find anything better in that particular class (even the 1050 ST that followed) until I tried the 2009 BMW K1300S.For someone on a budget, a second-hand 955i Sprint ST remains one of the best all-rounders money can buy. Nearly 15 years after its introduction, that is saying something! 25 January 2009byPaul49I bought my ST955 new in June 1999, it now has covered 54k miles & is still the dogs danglies.
She's done 8 tours of Europe 2 up with camping kit (fully loaded 100lbs of luggage) without a hiccup. The panniers are nicely tucked inside the width of the mirrors so great when filtering in lane 2 1/2. Bad points are poor headlights & a 100 mile seat, I had a rebuilt one from Digger (Corbin copy)now 600 miles a day across france is no bother to me or 'er on't back. Last year I bought a ST1050 & because I couldn't get a decent trade in price (high mileage) I kept the 955 & am I glad I did, the 1050 must have been designed by somebody serving his notice! The panniers are useless, the engine shakes like a shi-ing dog, it feels like I'm sat on a camel, the mpg is down from 56 to 46 & its slower!
Good bits: headlights are brill, handling is more refined (read boring). Every time I pull out the old 955i a gurt big grin comes with it. The Triumph ST 955i has got to be the best bike ever made by any manufacturer for its all round outstanding ability. 03 November 2008byused2bfastProper allrounder, can blast with the mates on a Sunday morning, tour with the missus. Have the proper luggage, so evn she can take enough stuff! Fitted Scott oiller, genmar bar raisers, double bubble screen, triumph carbon can, dropped the yokes half an inch to quicken the steering. Just bought a gel seat also.
Fitted Oxford heated grips, so I can ride all year round. Just wash off after a ride, and although I,ve had it for 4 years, still no corrosion, looks like new.
23 April 2008bytrixieyamI bought my 2000 ST second had four years ago for a planned trip to Sweden, Finland and the Oland Islands. The bike performed faultlessly two up for the entire two week trip. The next year we took the bike to Germany and covered around 2500 miles in two weeks, again with no problems. I had planned to sell the bike after the Germany trip but I've hung on to it as it really is such a good all rounder.
It handles pretty well, the engine is strong and it's built as well as most Yamaha's and Suzuki's if not a bit better. My bike is fitted with the Triumph panniers, top box, baglux, heated grips, scottoiler and double bubble. My only real complaint is the standard clutch lever is not span adjustable annd the reach on it must be set up for a giant. I bought a span adjustable one which is better but the clutch action is still very heavy and can get tiresome around town.
Everything else is excellent. 03 February 2008byRobbo523I've had my '99 ST since early 2001 and still love it. 28 September 2007bymarty1035I owned one of these bikes from 2000 for just on 12 months. I was so excited when I picked up my shiny new black sprint, the 3rd of the revised Triumph's I have owned (also the last as it turns out). On close examination when I got home I noticed the paint run down the front fairing and dodgy fastener quality. After 6 months the top end of the motor was very rattly and after 12 months I couldn't put up with this badly designed motorcycle any longer. I was annoyed but not entirely surprised when the triumph dealer I had purchased from wasn't interested in buying or trading it back.
When a franchised dealer doesn't want their product back (at any price) you know you've got a lemon. Funnily enough the chap who finally bought it off me only kept it briefly due to it's poor finish and design. 29 April 2006bywaynedlI went from a Yamaha XJ600S Diversion (yes a slow bike) to this, and maybe I just expected too much, but it's not upto the hype of litre bikes tbh. Sure it's quick, and from the line will put the wheel up easily in 1st or 2nd, but just not as mental as I expected. Bit high for a shorty like myself too (5'8', 13st), even on softest setting, dropped it twice due to not getting my feet down when stopped. Strengths: SOUND AWSOME!!!!, Fuel consumption is great for performance, looks - I don't think it's aged. Weaknesses: Height, Judgement (u come up on cars a lot quicker than it feels), strength (had to replace the battery after dropping bike).
05 August 2004bytrumpetmarkPlenty of power, its comfortable and it goes round corners.On a recent trip to France 130 mph cruising seemed a doddle yet I was still getting 180 miles to a tank full.A word of warning however, don't try and keep up with the locals around Paris. The paniers and top box are useful but they apear to be made out of the thinest plastic available.Its not the ideal commuter bike as in traffic it does run very hot - but what doesn't. The chain rarely needs adjusting and it doesn't use much oil. Strengths:Speed, power, economy, handling and comfort. Weaknesses: Some poor quality detailing, not what you would expect, some bits are starting to corrode, cheap paniers, poor head lights. The Triumph (data tool) alarm has immobilised itself when parked near mobile phone masts, apparently this can happen to all alarms!
11 July 2004byTerryWilliamsWhat an incredible package. An amazingly well finished bike (only bettered by Honda - and not by very much). An engine is 'to die for' with roadholding to match. This is the first bike I can do 3 hours in the saddle without a break. Heavens, I never want to get off. The bike looks a million dollars but costs less that the 'also rans' (the VFR was a close contender). I owned a new VFR a few years ago.
The only complaint I have is that it is far too easy to get carried away on the 'twisties'. The bike is so stable.
Not the right thing to say to the nice constable. Strengths: Roadholding and handling (especially in the wet) That 3 cylinder engine. Its looks and comfort. Weaknesses: Not enough dealers and having to travel 100 miles to get to the nearest.© 1955-2019 Bauer Media GroupBauer Media Group consists of: Bauer Consumer Media Ltd, Company number: 01176085, Bauer Radio Ltd, Company Number: 1394141Registered Office: Media House, Peterborough Business Park, Lynch Wood, Peterborough, PE2 6EA H Bauer Publishing,Company Number: LP003328 Registered Office: Academic House, 24-28 Oval Road, London, NW1 7DT.All registered in England and Wales.

Use insulating tape to secure the wire to the existing loom.Disconnect the old wire from its terminals at either end. Strip backthe insulation from the new wire and lay the bared ends in the connectorterminals, then apply the solder.Once the solder has cooled refit the wire alongside the existing loom,taping it at regular intervals.

Make sure it can't touch any hot ormoving parts. High speed faultsIf the warning light comes on at full brightness at high engine speeds, thefault is more serious.There are several possible causes.
On a dynamo it may be damaged brushes, aworn commutator or possibly faulty internal windings.With an alternator the problem may be caused by a faulty rectifier, which isusually situated inside the alternator unit. The unit will have to be removedfrom the engine in order to be stripped down so the faulty parts can bereplaced where possible.Check with your dealer to find out what replacement parts of the alternatorare available - you may find it cheaper and more convenient to buy an exchangeunit. Generator wiring. Pull each wire from the voltage regulator in turn, or disconnect the wires to the solenoid, and clean up the terminals using wet-or-dry paper.If the warning light glows above idling speed, you should check the charging circuit wiring for any poor connections that are causing a high resistance.Disconnect the battery leads to avoid a short circuit.

Then check the battery terminals, making sure they are clean.Carefully check the battery earth lead where it joins the bodywork and also the main earth strap from the engine to the bodywork.The generator earths via the engine and a poor connection here will affect its performance. If any of the leads are corroded you should replace them.Check the wiring connections to the back of the generator, then work your way along the wires to the regulator box or starter solenoid.Pull each wire from the voltage regulator in turn, or disconnect the wires to the solenoid, and clean up the terminals using wet-or-dry paper.Remember when replacing the generator wires that the connecting terminals need to be soldered on to ensure a good connection. To eliminate any chance of overheating, the replacement wire should be of the correct thickness.Look in a workshop manual or ask your dealer if you are not sure what size of wire you.need. If the faulty wire runs through a loom, it is easier to disconnect it at both ends and run the new wire alongside the loom, securing it with tape.
