r/trident660

During the past few rides I’ve noticed a long crank then previously when the bike was new. Am I just being paranoid….

Original battery on a ‘25. All up to date on service.

Once the bike is warmed up, bike starts right up.

TIA

Hey guys, just a simple question, I will buy my first bike soon, and it’s definitely not an easy choice. There are a lot of great japanese bikes, or even german or Italian. But for some reason I really like this Triumph Trident 660. I didn't had the opportunity to try it yet, but do you think it would be a good idea for a first bike ?

Pulled the trigger on a 2026 Trident 660 and I love it. But the rear wheel fender just looks off to me. Looking for a tail tidy compatible for the 2026's. The tail tidys ive found online show they're only compatible up to 2025's. Anyone able to recommend a kit compatible with the 2026's or possibly a DIY solution ?

SO we are all in agreement these are.... clones/knockoffs???? With those prices I would kick my self if I bought at MSRP.

Hi All,

I’m new to the group. I recently picked up a new 2025 Trident 660 and am absolutely loving it aside from the break in procedure 😑 I’ve added afew small things, Evotech Radiator Guard and SW-MOTECH Engine Guard & Frame Sliders. I’m thinking about installing the Competition Werkes slip-on down the road and wanted to see if anyone had any experience with it and how they are liking it. And lastly wanted to hear any suggestions you all may have for future upgrades/accessories.

Thank You!

Hi, just wanna share this taillight for Trident 660 that i saw on Facebook and it looks amazing. It’s made in Taiwan. Thoughts?

This shows up when try to disable and re-enable my Quickshifter as it was clanking and getting stuck between gears. Also this little gear ⚙️ icon shows up with the written warning whenever I switch the fuel pump on first time after a long break inbetween. Also the gears are working normally, it's just quickshifter has stopped working completely after I disabled it, even at enabled it's not responding at all. My question is, is this a very big issue, and if in a serious case of needing transmission or something replaced, will this be covered in warranty? (My bike is under warranty)

Hey all, just picked up a 2021 Trident 660 with 14k miles off Facebook Marketplace and ran into some serious issues on my first proper ride. Hoping someone has seen this before.

The symptoms:
After about 10 minutes of riding, the dash lit up with coolant temp high, transmission fault, and check engine light all at once. I pulled over, turned it off, waited a few minutes and jumped back on. the coolant warning cleared but the engine light stayed on. About 5 minutes later the same thing happened again, the bike dropped into limp mode (4k RPM limit), and eventually cut out completely.
One thing I’ve noticed is the coolant temp bar sits at 3 and never climbs higher than that. It either reads 3 bars or it throws the temp error, nothing in between. Not sure if that’s normal or a sign of something.

What I’ve checked so far:
• Coolant level is fine and I’ve done a coolant change
• Found some small bent fins on the rad, looks like stone damage from the front wheel

Questions for you guys:
1. Is the bent fin damage on its own enough to cause this level of overheating, or could it be the fan?
2. Has anyone had a similar experience, especially with a used Trident? Wondering if the previous owner was aware and sold it on knowing about the fault.

Any help massively appreciated — love the bike but need to get this sorted before I can actually ride it properly

Had to warm it up to change the oil for spring, so I stopped by the spray bay. Now it's been in the 40s every morning since and I'm getting too old for that shit.

Went for a nice country ride today, we have a bunch of covered bridges here in Oregon (USA) but the topper was seeing someone’s pet capybara! Never seen one before and the thing was huge. Deer, wild turkeys, great blue herons and other riders were out today as well.

I don’t like carrying stuff in my pockets (garage door clicker, glasses, other awkward pocket items). Adding to the list, after a few riparian and pastoral rides, lens cleaner and microfiber towels to wipe off the bug guts from my helmet shield mid ride. And I suppose some basic tools.

I saw these on other MCs and thought I’d try them out and post in case anyone else was curious about storage on a Trident but didn’t want a tail or tank bag. They fit decently, are secure and quick to remove if you don’t want the visual messing up your vibe on a club ride, if you care about that type of thing. They don’t interfere with legs either. There is a left and right side bag, order accordingly.

Looking for recommendations on the best option of mount for a Quadlock on my 2025.

I think I want to mount to phone in the center under the instrument panel, so the two are as much in the same field of view as possible, but won't interfere with seeing the whole dial. Or would it be better (and possible) to mount it close to the side of the cluster in portrait layout without tilting to either side?

The options seem to be:

1. Quadlock's handlebar mount installed tight up against the handlebar clamp with an extension arm to center the phone under the instrument, Motorcycle - Handlebar Mounts - Quad Lock® USA - Official Store

2. Quadlock's fork stem mount which looks like it might be better but interferes with the handlebar clamp so you have to take the clamp and handlebars off to install the mount post into the fork stem. Motorcycle - Fork Stem Mounts - Quad Lock® USA - Official Store

3. Brogue Motorcycle's handlbar clamp mount looks good but at $170 is awfully expensive. Triumph Trident 660 & 800 - Quad Lock Handlebar Top Clamp Mount – Brogue Motorcycles

Am I missing other good solutions?
