Whoo, got a new Bike!

Decided i wanted something a bit more exciting than a Cb400 Superfour.

Just had a quite large tax refund so i jumped onto eBay and bought this: Triumph TT600 Razz

Its a Cat D (damage already been repaired) so got it quite cheap, Only £800 Shocked

Just ordered a new Seat (old ripped) and new discs + pads all around as they are the only thing needed for Mot.

Will be having stuff touched up too, Swingarm is nice and crusty so will be getting powder coated with other bits and bobs.

Get a better reg/rec, as it'll save you the nightmare of replacing wiring. Also get yourself a manual camchain tensioner.

I'd also recommend buying a USB cable, and also download Tune ECU. You can set fuel maps and it has loads of other features. You can also run diagnostics to check everything on the bike is working. It'll also let you check fault codes it may throw at you.

I loved mine, wish I never got rid of it. May well buy another.

I ran mine with 120/70-17 front and 190-55-17 rear ex-race Racetecs. Handled beautifully. And the tyres were only £10 a pop.

Looks good Thumbs Up

Cheers for the advice, My father has already looked into the tune ecu stuff and ordered me a cable.

Another vote for the reg/rec I have a ZX6R 2007 one on my daytona (mosfet).

Other than that they're great bikes Thumbs Up

If you want a loud can, well i'm ashamed to admit but mines a little too much for me on long runs...

I loved mine. 25k (30k-55k) miles and the only problem I had was water sitting on the ignition coil sticks and destroying them. Water trickles down the tank and onto the top of the coils.

Get some bicycle tyre inner tube and some silicone grease and water proof them.

That looks pretty standard TT finish there! I could peel the paint off the pillion pegs and swingarm on mine Laughing That said when I owned one (and when it decided to work properly) it was a really good bike that went like shit off a shovel.

Mine must have been a Friday bike!

Your right, The frame isn't too bad tough tbh, I think they gave some thought for that (At least for the showing parts of the frame). The swing-arm on the other hand has a bogded paint job. Will sort it soon, Just need to decide if its gonna be worth having the frame and swing arm powder coated.

I have seen it said on one of the Triumph forums that the Leo Vince can is the best sounding one out there for the 600/650 4 pots Cool They are also very rare.

Enjoy it mate Thumbs Up
