Hello folks
My first post here... wondering if anyone can help with recommendations for tools needed for maintenance on my Thunderbird Sport 900 (2000) model. Not afraid to get my hands dirty, had some old bikes and cars in the past and enjoy the challenge of working on my bike, but I'm a total newbie to Triumphs. Delivery due in April 2018.
Been doing some research on common issues and carb cleaning and synchronisation pops up quite a lot, also seen this in a "known issues" thread: "Connecting between the stator and voltage rectifier gets oxidized and overheats and craps out. The solution is to remove it and replace with splices or good sized spade or bullet connectors." TBH, that means very little to me. So I'm a goddamn newbie.
So, my questions are:
1) What are the most common maintenance jobs needed to keep my TBird Sport running smooth?
2) Which tools should I get for my garage for these jobs?
Thanks in advance - any advice welcome.
