Ive just gone through your entire Playlist on the Daytona and i gotta say I absolutely love your humorous yet informative video style! Just ordered my Daytona in the beautiful red yesterday and am sure excited for being able to ride it in about a month, so yeah, keep up the great work man and safe riding! Cheers! :D

Terry Fantastic video Sir! I am glad you are having so much fun on the Daytona 660. Splendid! Ride SAFE and BE safe Sir! 👍👍

I will, thanks ttrguy!

Great video; loved hearing your laughter with that triple soundtrack as you snick through the gears. Versatile machine, which is exactly what I was wanting. It IS rather difficult to explain the importance of suspension settings to folk! Sorry you were laughed at. 😅

Thanks Robert.

Rear preload; I find the steps for rear preload to be too large. Stock setting has bike dragging it's arse like a dog with worms. Just two positions more and I'm arse up like a supersport, and there are 4 more positions above that! I've settled on 1 step up from stock/full soft (position 2) and since I really desire vehicle rake half-way between positions 2 and 3, I may experiment with sliding fork tubes up in the yokes. Or, I will just buy an aftermarket shock with threaded collars so I can set it properly instead of the current compromise for my goals and 205 lb weight.

Yes, it is not very granular is it? I fancy a Wilbers, a basic adjustline would do. I fitted one to my Daytona 1200 and it is superb.

Can you please make a video on how to adjust rear pre-load for newer riders?

Hi Terence! Have you looked into getting a bigger windscreen on your Daytona? I think this is my only gripe with my Daytona, that I'd like a bit more wind protection, but I haven't found any.

I added the extra windscreen lip and tried a lot of positions, it just pushed air off the chest into the helmet making it worse I'm afraid. That's that experiment tried! I drop a short video on it in a few days.

Loved this video! hahahah

Misc thoughts; Mirrors; the stalks dont have detents like my Honda and Kawasaki. At 100mph they begin to roll back to me. Felt plenty tight, but. . . Gearing; that motor has SO MUCH pull, I may swap 15T sprocket with 16T from 660 siblings for lower consumption while touring/cruising. Use 3, 4, 5 for thrashing, and easy access with quickshifter (still waiting here in USA for fitting kit). Shift lever; feels vague compared to my Japanese bikes. Considering the RACETORX shift shaft support they sell for the Trident. Any experience with that company/product? Reducing the cantilevered length of shift shaft should certainly reduce lever deflection and increase feel/response, but what if dims aren't "perfect" and it imparts additional unwanted loading? Triumph warranty won't cover race parts, I'm sure! Great review video. Thanks again for sharing your experience in this series.

Ditto on the mirrors, it has happened to me a few times now. Tooth swap could be good for touring but download the user manual for the Daytona 660/Trident/Sport, it is all the one. They have the drive ratios listed for all three bikes, makes a good comparison. Yes, my little video on the Quick-Shifter highlights the range of movement too, a good 45-50 degrees between fully down/up, that is some travel. Thanks for your thoughts but sorry no experience with RACETORX.

Do you think having the dealer do the first service was worth it? Ive checked several dealers here in the US and they are charging a crazy amount ( in my opinion ). Curious if others are having same issues

@@busterbrown087 We know it’s a lightweight service and can be done easy enough (I service two other bikes myself) but I think a dealer relationship is becoming increasingly important for forging a relationship should things go wrong with ever more complex bikes. A potential half way house could be buying the Triumph service pack from the dealer (if they are out yet) and keeping a record of the purchase. My dealer first service price was reasonable but I won’t be fleeced and would do it myself if needed. Just keep a full record of the oil/filter etc.

I found your channel, because I’m looking for that Daytona 660 as my second bike after gsx 8S I love it but I want little bit more power and more wind protection, it looks like you have a lot of experience on different bikes, I want to ask should I buy Daytona 660 or go with street triple R or MT09 because they all in almost same price

@@aleksandrkorovin1524 I would have thought the MT09 was a little dearer again but is a fine well liked bike. The 765R offers an awful lot more for very little extra, six axis IMU’s, adjustable suspension, 120HP and more. Neither offer the full fairing though and the Daytona is designed as a simple uncomplicated offering that provides sports bike looks at a reasonable price. Insurance costs likely to be better on the Daytona too. I would do your best to get a test ride on your choices if you can. Happy hunting!

would the tridents frame sliders fit on daytona 660?

I suspect they would foul the fairing.
