triumph trophy?

Went to Scotland a fortnight ago. 1200 miles in 4 days and not a drop of oil used. Chuffed with the bike but some things triumph do puzzle me!

its a triumph thing mate,they have a habit of making things hard to get to some of the air filters are a nightmare and for some reason triumph have an obsession with cable ties on some models.also they use alot of oil so keep an eye on it and if you spark goes it will be a secondary coil or an igntion pick up coil(very common)

Thanks Adam I think the chain will have to come off to access the near side and an allen key with at least two universal joints for the off side . Why do they make things so awkward?

phil im pretty sure you have to tighten them up from the single allen bolt that holds them from the back of the hanger,you can only take the hanger off enough to turn it around and get an allen key in there.common problem on these and suzukis
