Hello to all fellow Bonneville riders. I`ve recently bought a 2001 Bonny and am busy clocking up the miles(2000 in 5 weeks). I now have a few issues to deal with.
1st is the leaking fuel tap. Does anyone do a seal kit for this or is it a replacement job?
2nd. This bike has an 18t gearbox sprocket fitted instead of the standard 17t. Is this a common mod and if so why?
I also have to replace both discs as they are worn out.
The biggest problem I`ve had has been the unbelievably uncomfortable standard seat. Do Triumph not expect anyone to ride these bikes? I`ve since replaced it with the gel seat from Burton bike bits which is a lot better but still not brilliant.
Apart from all this it is a lovely bike to ride with lots of smooth power and reasonable handling. I hope to keep it and clock up some serious mileage.
