Come on MoMo guys!
What's been happening?

This winter was a rebuild year on my Triumph. I was having Hot Start Issues with my Tiger that all pointed to the Starter. New Starters are pricey starting at $460. I could get a rebuild brush kit and armature set for $100 but I found a used starter at $95 with low miles so I bought that. Never in my life has putting in a starter been so difficult. The old starter was just trashed.
Being that I had to take the Gas Tank and Throttle Bodies off to replace the starter any way, I did the Valve check and replaced the Air Filter.
Seeing that I had 36K on the bike I decided to replace the Drive Train, Front and Rear Sprockets and Chain. I had a 16 tooth front sprocket and on the new went down to a 15 for more spunk and better wheelies.
Lastly I changed up the oil and flushed the coolant.
All ready to ride...and even got a new Helmet...matches my bike.
Pretty exited for the year.
