Just bought a bike...

[Curb]

I just got your message. I logged into the Triumph site and ran your vin...this is what is outstanding...

SB300...which is a mod to the wiring harness from the alternator (probably what caused your bike to stop working)
SB312...this is just for a different spark plug spanner
SB350...this is to change connectors from plastic to metal from the fuel lines to the fuel tank.

hope this helps out...oh and the engine number is on the right side above the clutch cover...set back a little under the frame, you'll probably need a flash light to see it.

Recall SB350 is what caused my bike to stop working. One of the brittle plastic fuel connectors snapped, letting gas spill out freely. Removing the connector prevents more fuel from leaking out, but a broken connector cannot be reinstalled. From what I've gathered, exactly the reason the recall was issued in the first place.

Do I have to remove any bodywork to see the engine number? I just spent ten minutes looking and I couldn't see anything.

The bike dying is the least of your worries. You're lucky that's all that happened

nothing that I really know of. If you want, PM me your vin and I'll run it.

According to Triumph Customer Service, bike and engine belong together.

Good to know, but a little puzzling. Frame and bodywork look almost new, engine looks like it was used as a boat anchor.

I got my bike back, but according to Triumph's website it still has outstanding recalls. Is there a delay in the system or did they not do the work they said they did? Supposedly, the recall-related work was done about two weeks ago.
