My 2013 Triumph Daytona 675 R - Long Term Mods 

Thanks! It has its foibles, and the Street Triples are probably the better street option, but I still love it!

I have the exact same bike! Except I don’t have an Arrow exhaust... it’s still stock 😫

Wow, that sounds like a wicked project! I'm probably not going to be a lot of help there, as I only did the very basics and if I'm honest I was never too concerned about power, I just went for a performance airfilter (K&N) and tried out the Taylor Made exhaust (slip-on) and the Triumph Arrow slip-on, but I never invested in getting a specific tune for maximum power, or really took it any further, using it only as a road bike. If you google Triumph 675 forum, there's a great forum with basically the same name, and there was a lot of people racing them there, especially in America who had some great insights into the performance side of things. They were definitely the experts on that side of things!

I reckon it's a great choice for that, the Ninja is still fun but even easier to run around on in traffic, and a little less to worry about someone knocking over, especially when you're having to park or leave it unattended for long periods, like at work or similar.

Maybe, it's just sitting in the garage at the moment collecting dust!

Yep on start up especially when it wasn't being ridden daily.

@@MotoJournoKris does doing an oil change help with it?

@@okitoki1973 Not that I found, it just seemed to be a bit of a quirk until the bike warms up and more oil gets circulated. I know when I looked into it a lot of other owners had similar experiences and there was a bit of discussion around it.

@@MotoJournoKris thanks for the reply. It feels weird that there's clatter when in neutral as this is the first bike I ever had that does it. Seems common among the 675s

@@okitoki1973 I know what you mean! I did a fair bit of research about it and ended asking at my Triumph dealer and it just seemed to be the norm, which put my mind at rest. Especially as nothing changed over a number of years.

The Taylor Made exhaust was great but I had issues with a fueling controlling and stripped both off to try and trouble shoot. It was quite loud, although I was pretty happy with it. The Arrow exhaust was a nice compromise, however I actually think just unhooking the exup valve to keep it open at low rpm helped the bike sound a little meaner at low rpm and idle enormously. I did look into it, but the price put me off. I know there was some good conversion options but none locally, with lengthy waits.

Only about 40,000, as I've had a lot of test bikes over the years and tried to keep the kilometres down when I could.

Sorry about that, I can hear it ok but not great on my computer, but I know it varies between devices. Always a bit of a balancing act mixing audio and I'm not that great at it still.

@@MotoJournoKris Good luck with your future videos!

@@RubenTavernier Thanks! It's very much a work in progress, the voice over riding footage with engine sound, or being able to record voice over directly onto onboard footage is still a real weak point for me.

Tell me about it, gotta do that clutch so I can go for a proper ride!

Yep the Ninja 400 is my wife's, but I commute a lot on it. The Daytona hasn't been too bad, had a cracked inlet manifold years ago that took a lot of work to discover, but was covered under warranty. I commuted on it for two years in terrible traffic, now has 37,000km on it, and the clutch is starting to slip, which isn't surprising with how much city riding I've done. It did throw an error code at one point and wouldn't start when I was using a ServoBuddy but the shop reset everything and it was good to go...

Moto Journo Kris Thanks. Got your eye on anything else or going to stick with it?

@@dry509 Waiting to see what the Daytona 765 is like! But I'll probably keep it and hopefully add another bike in a year or two.

Moto Journo Kris Cool. Thanks. Wonder what the 765 will be like. I have a friend that is now riding an S1000rr that had a 675r for many years.

@@dry509 Hopefully amazing, I reckon we might get an announcement at EICMA if we are lucky.
