Triumph Speed Triple 1050 (2005 - 2010)

Our Review

Reviewed: by Visordown
I'm excited. Well, I think it's excitement I'm feeling. It could be terror. The French taxi driver is doing about 100mph and the people carrier appears to have suspension made from sponge cake. Not that the continual pitching from side to side appears to be bothering him. Oh no, he's ...  Continue reading

I love this bike beyond the telling of it. When I returned to biking in 2007, one of my first test rides was on a Speed Triple - I was so captivated that I bought that bike on the spot, even though I hadn't reg Continue reading...

Lovin' it!
Love its aggressive looks, even at standstill, love that motor, love the handling (especially since changing tyres), love that burble from the exhaust on the overrun and love "flying the flag".

It's different from all of the other bikes about ... Marmite would some it up quite well. I would recommend one to anyone. It's a right laugh and very capable of fast riding, touring or simply bimbling around t Continue reading...

This is the bike I always wanted, and it's lived up to everything I hoped it'd be. Continue reading...

Big fun, fast and comfortable. Old fashioned biking ethos married with modern technology makes this the supernaked that all other supernakeds are measured by. Continue reading...

I have a 1999 955i speed triple that cuts out momentarily when moving and will sometimes cut out at intersections.It restarts ok ! engine management light does not come on .

I thought this was bike reviews , not workshop.

If it was my bike I think I would be looking at the wiring first, try leaving the bike ticking over and move the harness around and see if it brings on the fault. If it was a stalling problem at tickover, you could blame throttle body balancing but if it cuts out higher up the revs then balancing would not cause that.

Other things I would rule out would be, connections on battery, kill switch,fuel pump, ignition switch. FWIW the engine management light would only really come on if there was a fault with a component of the Fi ( ECU,Injector,MAF, etc), so posibly not a problem in that area

Hope that helps Steve

 I have a 1999 Speed trip with the same problem.  Check the kickstand safety switch and the fuel connectors.  Both were faulty on mine.  I bypassed the kickstand switch and replaced the fuel connectors by the tank manifold.  Runs great now.

Well brand new licence in hand, and am looking for a speed triple, was strongly advised to avoid as a first bike and told to get a Hornet or Bandit, I am 49 and have no intention of riding like a nutter, thought "keep it British" and do like the look of the naked triumph. Had thought about the street but then thought why not the speed, any suggestions in favour or otherwise.
