Yammie noob was talking about the delayed throttle response on the Triumph trident 660, also saw another couple of youtube bike channels say exactly the same thing. But regardless of that delay they all had high praise for the bike.
You can tell it’s there when you are stationary and blip the throttle, but under acceleration and normal driving conditions, I don’t even really notice it. I thought it would be a bigger deal than it really is. It’s a great bike, and I really enjoy it; no regrets whatsoever!
Generally the break in oil is thicker than regular oil to let things bed in. After the oil change in the first service to the regular weight oil you'll have less drag on components allowing it to rev a bit quicker and gain a few horsepower.
Makes sense, but I wouldn’t think that oil viscosity would play a huge role in horsepower gains; I’ve done several break-ins, rebuilt some motors, etc. and haven’t noticed it like that before. I guess I was hoping there was some big reflash that tuned the delay out of the motor. Sadly, that didn’t happen.
Was it triumph dealer that did the service? If it was general service place did they really update ecu? That update should make engine fan run earlier preventing overheating.. there should be 3 bars in temp gauge after first service instead of 4
Have you noticed any loss of oil on your bikes? I was ready to purchase a Trident until I visited the forms, there were a lot of comments about use of oil. I love the bike, I'll most likely roll the dice.
It does work; I had to loosen the handlebar mount to move the handlebars a bit in order to get it to clear when I inserted it, but no issues otherwise.
I bought them off of Amazon, made by Fenrir. I did an install video on them, so you can go check that out if you’d like! Here’s the Amazon link: a.co/d/6qTP9BW
The helmet you see us wearing is my Shoei GT-Air 2. I gave it to him to use in the video hoping to get some POV shots of the rides, but the GoPro didn’t record the audio, so I didn’t use it. My shoes are the Sidi Mythos Gore-Tex Boots, Jing’s are the REAX Fulton Air Shoes.
I heard triumph service in USA is horrible, people waiting for parts for 3 months and shit. You can't basically do service on your own because even if you change oil you not gonna be able to reset that service blinking icon on the bike. You have to take it to the dealer and they charge you like $100 for that reset and also no first free service and stuff idk if it's true?
This is my 2nd Triumph and I have had zero issues with dealers getting parts. I’ve actually ordered several things myself online; dealer in Cleveland has an extensive online catalog. There is software you can get to reset the light on your own. TuneECU is the most popular one.
Despite what everyone says I found no difference on mine before and after the first service. Thank you guys for doing a quick side by side comparison.
I’m glad you enjoyed the video. “Quick” is accurate, but I think the results are pretty apparent.

That update should make engine fan run earlier preventing overheating.. there should be 3 bars in temp gauge after first service instead of 4
And also that update should fix heated grips problem them not getting hot enough..
@86Rommi Yes, it was a dealer that did the service on both bikes. I don’t have heated grips, so I can’t comment on that.
don't know where you went or how sensitive you are to changes but my 660 first service definitely changed .
Interesting; our side by side didn’t reveal much of a difference. Can you explain what changes you’ve noticed?

I read that stuff, too, but I have not noticed any loss of oil; no puddles under the bike and no consumption issues, either. I really love the bike.
What is your set up for the quad lock?
I have the stem mount pro with the vibration dampener and wireless charging head. Wired it into the USB port under the seat. Love it!
@@motomaverickusa no issue with fit, I read I few reviews where they mention that stem mount does not work with the trident ?

Love the round mirrors, do You remember who makes them?
I bought them off of Amazon, made by Fenrir. I did an install video on them, so you can go check that out if you’d like!

Great! Thank You👍
Happy to help!

How much it cost for your first service?
Honestly, I couldn’t tell you. I purchased a service plan with the dealer I bought the bike from, so it was included with that.
