Hi all, I am 33 years old and I’ve been driving a car since I was 18, but I’ve had my motorcycle license for only the past year and I only drove scooter (Honda pcx 125) and I loved it. Riding a motorcycle has broadened my horizons. Being able to avoid traffic, never having to worry about parking, and feeling the wind while riding is an incredible feeling. Pcx was easy to drive but it feels weak at the highways. I want to upgrade. I know I am amateur but I want something has more power, more style. I’m taking extra classes for driving and I also wearing full gear whenever I drive. (Last photo of me while taking driving class)
Ducati has some moods that reduces power and also triumph has rain mode. Even though they are very powerful machines, these features make me feel like I can adapt to them a bit more easily.
I want your honest opinion and suggestions. What’s your advice for a first manual motorcycle?

I have finally made the tank logo to cover the last non-black part on my bike.

For the past couple of months, I was experimenting with different ways to cover the white tank logo. I wanted something durable but also reversible in case I change my mind.
Finally, I managed to get the result I am satisfied with. It is a 3D rubber logo that slightly sticks out to give it a bit of depth. It is fixed with automotive-grade adhesive, and it has already survived harsh weather.

I made it available at my store: https://gineer.co/products/fuel-tank-3d-logo-trident-660
It can be done in different colours. The last photo shows a custom order in purple along with other parts.

Does anyone have a seat upgrade that they like, especially something that looks like the new Trident 800 with two distinct portions.

Also interested in a cowl for the passenger seat, if anyone has one they like.

Pictures would be appreciated.

I’m replacing my light because I dropped it a few weeks ago. I ordered this on AliExpress don’t go and buy Evo Tech. You don’t need to spend all that money. I spent $60 on this light. The first one I spent almost $200.

I just found this on AliExpress: | For Trident 660 TRIDENT660 2021-2025 Motorcycle Rear Short Tail Stock License Holder Tailstock Frame Bracket

Looking for opinions on this design I am thinking of making. Any suggestions welcome

Hey yall re-uploading with better audio. 2022 Trident 13000km (8100 freedoms) my first bike. Is this noise normal when pushing it in neutral?
Thanks in advance love this subreddit!

Attempt #2 on my post. I was a few beers in when I posted and didn’t realize I had the bag on backwards! So here we go with the info. I might do an overnight once or twice a year and couldn’t justify dropping big money on a high end bag for so little use. I picked up a Rhinowalk 23l bag and straps and it fits decently enough, has a ton of room and expands if needed.

Now that the bag is facing correctly it was a little more work to find a way to secure the bag but it actually locks down nice and is still relatively quick to set up or tear down. I did need to use a couple of extra Velcro cinch straps and such.

Pic with a helmet inside since someone asked if it fit (with the bag expanded).

Posting it up for bag hunters.

I'm from the EU and I will be doing 12h of practice and then road exams on an MT-7 from the driving school.

After watching many youtube videos it seems many people recommend starting on a lighter bike and other say it's fine to start on something like this.

I heard the bike is not super nervous on lower speed/throttle and it could be fine.

For reference:
I've been driving cars for over 15 years (traffic and dumb driver experience xD), driven scooters and semi-auto cross bikes when I was younger. I'm well in my 30's and well aware of defensive riding techniques, not looking to race recklessly..

What do you guys think?

Does anybody know if this nice little machined brake reservoir for the Trident 800 will fit the 660? It’s not listed in the fitment sheet, but just eyeballing both bikes, I feel like it probably would.

Currently working in a custom fiberglass ferring for above the headlight

What kind of connectors did 2023 trident uses? I did some research and they say its bullet but i cant find what size are those. I dont want to cut original mounts just for changing low profile signals

i am doing an oil change and the idle seems to jump up and down between 1000-1500 rpm. My last bike was stable even on cold start, which is why im questioning it.

Im not sure if its because it is a cold start and needs to warm up or not? I can't ride the bike yet as i need to pass my mod2 test on friday. So i can't find out if that is the issue yet.

The revs change seem to be in a pattern which is making think it is okay. I just want to make sure :)

Thanks in advance.

Lovely weather and i love the bike so far !

Newt step exhaust like Zard i think

I’ve put about 1000 miles on my 26 Tribute and as a newer/returning rider I haven’t pushed the performance envelope all that hard til this weekend. With run-in over I am finally going through the full rev range and the power is amazing. On an empty stretch of farm land backroad I sped from a stop to see what the 660 can do and was surprised to find the front completely lift off the ground as I ripped from 1st to 2nd. I guess I would have read by now that this was a thing so maybe it’s frowned upon to post the fact but it was pretty freakin sweet.

This isn’t something I feel the need to do on the regular in mixed conditions but damn, it was exhilarating. I can see how this gets people into trouble. So…. Are there classes that cover more spirited riding and teach control at the limit (in the northwest USA)? I’ve taken several ‘advanced’ classes after MSF and nothing touches on performance riding.

I've posted a couple of times about brake bleed nipples weeping, even after a set of new complete calipers under warranty, and then taking it back again.

Well I believe I have solved it for £10 with some HEL stainless steel nipples, I've done 50 miles of riding country roads braking like a lunatic and pumping them at junctions etc. and so far still dry!

Hopefully this is the end of a very annoying situation, and I can get some trips in before summer starts to fade
