Anyone got a Triumph Sprint 995i?

  1. I have been buggering about for several hours trying to put the last piece of the Crashed Jigsaw puzzle together!

    I can't get the fuel tank to sit in it's designed intended position correctly, resulting in the front location bolt not aligning with it's hole. I have had the thing on and off numerous times, fiddled and experimented with the quick release connectors in various positions but the dam thing refuses to play ball, resulting in the front fixing bolt not aligning with its threaded hole in the frame.


    Anyone else had this problem ?

  8. Not had a 995 but did have a 1050 Sprint. The tank breather pipe used to get in the way. Have you similar/checked this? Common to trap it on a 1050, resulting in pulling a tank vacuum and fuel starvation.
