Re: Triunph Street Triple - 2007+ - What about them?
your not loking in the right place then,this problem first came to light on the bandit forum i believe it was when a young chap on there with his daytona had to go back to wales to pick his bike up after repair and we all asked what the hell have you done to your low milage unthrashed triumph the reply we got back as best i can remember was that he had just had a new or very repaired engine put in as the conrod was sticking out of the crankcase and on looking on one of the triumph forums this apears to not be a one off ill have a look on the net and find the forums its on,also on a slightly different tangent if triumph got it right the first time then why do they sell racing crankbearing shells and oil pumps for the street triple!
Some info on engine problems can be found on triumph675.net and type in conrod problems, but this was not the search/site i found the other crankshaft problems on before which had a dozen or so peoples problems with spun shells and broken conrods on Last edited by suzukigt380paul; 01-05-12 at 05:28 PM. |

Re: Triunph Street Triple - 2007+ - What about them?
I had a standard street triple for a couple of years (found the R model too harsh). Bluddy brilliant bike, great motor, plenty of grunt, looks and sounds great and good build quality all round. Test ride both the R and standard model everyones different.
There is isolated cases of engine failures not just on street triples but every bike available today. You would have to be bloody unlucky to have a motor let go on a Street Triple! |

Daytona convert here and coming from an sv the Daytona was so smooth and brakes that stop you on a 6 pence.
Only went into the shop to look for a 125 for the daughter and once I saw the Daytona I booked a test ride and bought one. It's got good low down grunt of the twin and the high revving band of a 4 cylinder. Mpg is around 42 on my 30 mile commute. Diag software is free of the net just need a vag 16pin lead off eBay for £7. Can remap yourself with the above lead when you fit cans etc. Servicing every 6k. Brakes on the std street are similar to the sv's and the R ones are as per Daytona ie awesome. Hth Ian |

Thre were rectifier 'issues' on the earlier models, mine was an 07, but i think those have now been addressed by Triumph. Just my 2p's worth. |

Re: Triunph Street Triple - 2007+ - What about them?
Had my str for two years, 10,000 miles, never missed a beat. Never heard of any of these failures either, even on the street triple forum. Have heard of the rectifier issue. One case of it happening and some hearsay about bike mag testers failing do not a problem make, in my opinion.
Great bikes. |

Re: Triunph Street Triple - 2007+ - What about them?
The Con Rod story... A search reveals that a Daytona owner picking up his bike from the dealers, post service, spotted a SPEED triple with a con rod sticking thro' the crank case. The bike in question had done TWO miles. Not sure that constitutes a weak engine or, in reality, a faulty component straight from the box.
Searching further didn't bring up anything other than the above... As an aside, the same engine with a longer stroke is used in the Tiger 800. I can't see a manufacturer using a dodgy engine in another bike and risking further damage to its reputation - assuming the original story about dodgy Street Triple engines is true.
