Hi all. I am a new member and have just purchased a Triumph T160 Trident and it does not run very well. It starts from cold great and ticks over fine and when you rev it no exhaust smoke and a very quiet engine. And when you ride it all is well untill you have done a mile or so and it warms up. Then it lags when you open it up and gets progressively worse as the engine has been running for 10 minutes or so. It starts holding back and some popping from one of the exhausts. And if I switch it off it is very difficult to start again but will fire up straight away once it has cooled. I took the air filter out which was oiled up and the plugs are always sooty after being cleaned and ridden a couple of miles. It has only done 1000 miles in the last 15 years and 16000 in total. Any ideas??? Please! Carbs/fuel or electrical coils/plugs/leads??? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thx Pete.
