You will need to be able to reset the service reminder. On a Royal Enfield that can be done with button presses however not so with the Triumph. You will need to buy a service scanner tool that you will have to plug in under the seat in order to reset the service reminder. The levers to me look a bit short which means you get less leverage which means the clutch action will be heavier than full length, but that's obviously your preference. The arrow pipe is a nice exhust that looks good without been too loud. perhaps more expensive though.
Gorgeous bike! Glad you got most of the tar off!! I had it been a year since I gave you a lift?? Wow! Interesting about the clutch switch being a problem! How on earth did you work that out? Sounds brilliant!! Such a good bike!
I was searching the forums for reasons why my fuel gauge stopped working and someone mentioned they had the same issue after changing levers, which I had also done so figured it out from that.
@@luckyintervale It's a great upgrade compared to the SS. Better suspension, brakes and performance. It fitted my size better too (100kg, 184cm). Mostly rode it on gravel roads. I had the XC for four years but have now traded it in for a KTM 890 Adv R for more off-road performance. It doesn't sound or look as good though. Might get an XE as my next bike in a few years.
I put progressives on the front (ss), and Ohlins on the rear. Better but a long way from decent suspension still. But if I'm on dirt, I'll do 10kms at a time on the pegs and love it, do not too bad.
I put a Tiger alloy sump guard on my SS and that lifted the look a mile, protected the belly from rocks (do a lotta dirt!). Also just added a Booster Plug today...and yes it does make a difference. Will see if I still believe it's a £140 upgrade later. Definitely smoother and punchier around town. Like my direct mount brake reservoir too.
Ooh, was that the same sump guard for the Tiger 800 series? If so, I have one of those if it will fit. A direct mount would certainly tidy the look up :)
Hey Phil … ever thought of sticking a bench seat on ? … best upgrade I put on mine .. and way more comfy than you might think 😊 although I did it more for the aesthetics. Great bike and great vid 👍
Yes, a brown bench seat would look great on this. However, I would have to lose out on the stock luggage rack. I know I can get an aftermarket one but it sits further back. So I think I'll stick to the single seat unless I can find a brown bench style single seat.
High praise for the bike! It's a beauty, and you're certainly putting it to good use!
Thanks Mark!

@@Phil480 excellent researching! Forums eh? That’s so 2000s…
I had a dart screen on the bobber I got a lot of buffeting with the Dart screen the pipes sound awesome 🤩
I miss my Street Scrambler. Really fun to ride. The suspension was a bit too harsh for me though so I traded it in for the Scrambler 1200 XC.
Good choice!
@Sven, thinking about the same change; how are you getting on with the XC?
Ta…

They have the 1200X now which is amazing. I think only 830mm seat height but has significantly more travel than the 900.

@@Phil480yes I put the Hepco & Becker rack on the back and looks a treat with the bench seat. 👍
Are you coming to the Wild South West Rally on this, or one of your other bikes?
Unfortunately I can't make it this year
Any idea what that panniers rack is?
It is the official Triumph one for their Rugged Pannier
If you don't do the "look back" you have the wrong bike. :)
you could sell those RAT side panels!!! WICKED
I could do actually. I think I’ve got the printing settings dialled in well.
