Same thing happened me on my 12 reg T100. Was under warranty so brought it back to the dealer. He asked me "did you wash it with 'Muckoff' by any chance?" Turns out I had. The blasted stuff got into the throttle housing and dissolved the lubricant giving me a suicide throttle. Nasty but a...

Nice movie. I didn't realise how quiet the stock pipes are. When I bought the bike new the dealer told me the TORs would sound great on the Bonnie. I thought he just had a set out the back he was trying to get rid of. Sounds like he was telling the truth. I may look into getting a set of them now.

That is one extremely fast car. One of them shot past me on the Tiger 1050 one time and I had difficulty catching up with it. Not many small cars can do that.

Hi all. :stupid2: I'm off for a while so gonna be posting up here a bit more. I was cycling my bicycle into work yesterday when I forgot i was wearing the shoes that clip into the pedals. The traffic lights were red and i came to a complete stop. I'm in the habit of keeping my feet on the...

Thanks all. That puts my mind at ease anyway. I'll just put it down to a quirk.

Thanks drlapo. I can start it no problem when its cold without the use of the choke. When its warm though its not that easy to start. I was thinking there could be dirt somewhere but where to start is the question. As you say it's under warranty so probably best to get it checked out by the dealer.

Hi guys, I couldn't find any links to my problem on the site so I started a new thread. Apologies if it has been covered already. I have a 2012 McQueen bonnie. When I try to start the bike after a coffee stop of maybe 20 mins-half hour on a long journey she stalls. The bike turns over no...

I definately ran out of fuel alright. When I filled up it started with no problems and ran perfectly. I just can't understand why I could only get 15.1 litres into a 16 litre tank following a ride to empty.

Cut out with 1.5 litres in the tank. Sorry to bring this one up again nearly a year later but I feel it's relevent and rather than starting a new thread I thought I'd hijack this one. My bike a 2012 McQueen ran out of fuel on me last Thursday. I was coming through a junction and put put...

I have this exact problem that you have explained well already. My dealer said it's probably just because it's new (2012 Steve McQueen T100 Bonnie). It is strange however that nobody seems to have come up with a solution. By the way I had the same problem on my 2007 Tiger 1050 only it...

I traded my Tiger 1050 for the 2012 Steve McQueen SE Bonneville. My son was born in February so you could say I was waiting for 2 babies to arrive. The Bonnie arrived in July. I put my son up on the saddle and said "some day this will be yours". He smiled from ear to ear then started licking the...

Hi Hedge. I'm new to the site and have just come across your cool looking 8ball. I've not received my bonnie yet as I have to wait for Mr. Triumph to start production of the new McQueen edition. Was wondering if the 8ball can be fitted to the 865CC EFI models. They have what appears to be a...

Hi everyone. Some of you may know me from the Tiger 1050 site. I have recently put a deposit down on a Bonneville as above. Sadly I will have to trade the tiger in the process. I don't mind moving down the CC's too much as most of my riding is a commute through 35 sets of traffic lights...
