Yes, you are correct

I have the stem mount pro with the vibration dampener and wireless charging head. Wired it into the USB port under the seat. Love it!

@@motomaverickusa no issue with fit, I read I few reviews where they mention that stem mount does not work with the trident ?

It does work; I had to loosen the handlebar mount to move the handlebars a bit in order to get it to clear when I inserted it, but no issues otherwise.

Eh, new bikes take a little adjustment period, but I’m workin on it! I’ve got some adjustable aftermarket levers on my Trident.

I have worn several mesh jackets and find this the most comfortable.

You have to have special software in order to do that; look into TuneECU, I think that is the most widely used one. Otherwise, you have to take it to the dealer and pay to have them reset it, which is annoying.

@@motomaverickusa thank you

This is my 2nd Triumph and I have had zero issues with dealers getting parts. I’ve actually ordered several things myself online; dealer in Cleveland has an extensive online catalog. There is software you can get to reset the light on your own. TuneECU is the most popular one.

I bought them off of Amazon, made by Fenrir. I did an install video on them, so you can go check that out if you’d like! Here’s the Amazon link: a.co/d/6qTP9BW

Great! Thank You👍

Happy to help!

Happy to help. Thanks for watching!

Thanks for watching! On this video I’m using a GoPro Hero 11 Black Mini on a Chin Mount attached to my helmet. Mic is the trusty ole Purple Panda.

Yes, I agree. I’ve been looking into some “wetting” options, as I hear they make a big difference. Last big trip I did up to Colorado from Texas, I sure could’ve used it! It was nice and cool at 6am in July, but I was baking by mid-day.

Makes sense, but I wouldn’t think that oil viscosity would play a huge role in horsepower gains; I’ve done several break-ins, rebuilt some motors, etc. and haven’t noticed it like that before. I guess I was hoping there was some big reflash that tuned the delay out of the motor. Sadly, that didn’t happen.

Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks for watching.

I think it’s all relative; smooth compared to other parallel twins? Probably. I spend most of my time on triples, which are notoriously smooth.

Hopefully; I’d be interested to know a little later down the road if it stops squeaking for you.

I read that stuff, too, but I have not noticed any loss of oil; no puddles under the bike and no consumption issues, either. I really love the bike.

I think they will be fine; you could always get a bigger bar end cap, if it’s an issue.

Agreed!

Sorry, don’t understand your question. What are you referring to?

kmph

Ah…. that, I was not paying attention to. Just following traffic. 😬

Both bikes will be very fun around town and can do highways well; I’ve enjoyed my Trident for that very purpose. As for carrying a passenger, I can’t speak to that for either motorcycle. My wife has ridden my Tiger 800 with me, though, we were both comfortable and the bike did great. The 660 motors have a little less power, but are also much lighter. I would assume the bike could handle it, as long as your passenger is comfortable on the pillion; there’s not much seat there. I would definitely suggest getting the both of you to sit on it and see how it feels.

@@motomaverickusa thank you very much for the response! The one more thing I'd love to get to know - have you used any windshield on your Trident? I also heard that some people complained about heat waves coming from the motor while riding Trident making it much less comfortable - have you ever experienced that?

I have not noticed much with the heat coming off of it, at least not more than any other bike I’ve ridden. As for the windshield, I bought Trident specifically because it doesn’t have a windshield; I wanted a true naked bike. I still have my Tiger 800, which does have a big windshield on it, and I use that bike for any longer distance trips I’ll be riding. The windshield does make a difference in the comfortability of the ride, especially when the wind and other atmospheric conditions can impact the rider.

Haha, yea I understand they are trying to meet a price point, but they could’ve done a little more. I don’t hate it on the Trident, actually like the minimalistic part of it; however, for something like this Daytona, I think it could be better.

Thanks for watching; I also have a 2015 Tiger 800 XRx that I have done some longer rides on. I haven’t compared it to the new 660, but I imagine the heavier “adventure” setup, especially when you add panniers/bags, would be noticeable on the smaller motor. I just had a tail bag on my Trident for this trip to Austin but I still had a blast, though. I would like to see the power changes trickle down, but I don’t see them doing that; they are definitely trying to hit a price point with the 660 lineup.

​​​​@@motomaverickusa Considering that I did a 2000 mile tour of Scotland on a 2018 Ninja 400, staying at B&B's (so not full camping gear thankfully because early spring storms were the real deal)... So I believe for me power should be more than fine carrying gear/luggage on the 660. I am an pretty average 5ft 9inch height and broad shoulder/stocky/Barrel chested 185 lbs.

@@101BadBreathsounds like an awesome trip! Yea, if you aren’t carrying a ton of gear, I’m sure it would do just fine for you.

I think the key phrase there is “for a twin”. They added harmonic balancers to smooth it out, so I’m sure it’s way better than other offerings. Comparatively speaking, the triple is smoother, but that motor is known for that. You compare this twin to a single, and I’m sure the twin would be much smoother. I think it all depends on what you’re looking for out of your motor; the twin is going to be torque-focused over top end speed.

It was during the MotoGP race at COTA. Lots of brands there offering test rides, I’d say most if not all of them were represented in some capacity.

Me too; just didn’t want to take the chance on any kind of infringements…

Don’t sleep on the Trident… it’s a really fun bike to ride, and I’m sure it will open up after some new exhaust and a tune. Stay on the lookout for those vids… thanks for watching and the sub!

When I sell the Shadow, I’ll just have some space in the shop… 🧐

Yes, I do have the medium. I have another mesh jacket made by Revit that is also a medium, but it fits much tighter than this one. Klim is a much looser fit; on the Revzilla chart, it does show it to run a bit on the larger side. I find it to be very comfortable for my size.

Great feedback on the jeans, thank you. I’ve been looking at the K Forty 2 jeans; I think those are the single-layer option. Seems like they would be a little more comfortable and not as hot. Still looking through different options. This jacket is the Induction, which I would highly recommend. I think the Latitude is more their touring/adventure jacket, which includes Goretex. I looked briefly at the Induction Pro, but the added features didn’t justify the additional cost, in my mind. I also like how the regular Induction jacket looks just a little bit more.

@@motomaverickusa I meant to say the Induction Pro not the Latitude Pro. Thanks for catching that and still giving feedback on the Induction difference that you liked.

@@motomaverickusa Ah, mistake on my part. I meant the Induction vs Induction Pro not the Latitude, but it looks like you got what I meant and not what I said ;-)

@@SeaTacDelta no worries! Happy to help.

Interesting. Have you found the measurement charts on the product pages to be incorrect?

Haha, wouldn’t that be nice! Too bad I’m not an affiliate with them. I’m glad I could help, and I hope you enjoy the jacket as much as I do!

Great to hear! Thank you!

I think it’s all relative; I don’t have a lot of experience with twin motors, but in this video I just hopped off a triple. Triple motors are notorious for being super smooth; if I was on an older twin and hopped on this one, I’m sure the experience would’ve been different. It’s all relative…

It's so smooth it has twin balancer shafts I came off a 22 gsxs 1000 and I find it really smooth

I was thinking the same thing This guy confused me too

Good info, thank you. Yes, an R7 is definitely on my list to try out, as well as the MT-07. There’s a new Yamaha dealer really close to me, so hopefully I will be able to do both of those soon.

I didn’t get a chance to play around with the different rider modes; if there’s a track mode, I wonder how much that opens things up. I’ll have to look into that a little more. Thanks for watching.

I believe the rear mono shock is pre-load only, but I’ve heard even getting that adjusted to your weight can really help out the feel of the bike. If I were going to get one of these to track, I’d definitely hit up the suspension guy at the track day to help me tune what’s there or suggest something to fit me specifically. Anytime people start talking about tracking something, there’s always the “you have to go see the suspension guy that’s there; he’s amazing” or something like that. 😂

@@motomaverickusa Yep, there is always a "life changing" suspension guru hidden away somewhere at any given track lol. I think with the 660, even for road riding, I'd look at a new rear shock & a cartridge kit for the forks too as it has so much unrealised potential imo. It also needs some nice resets but that's all getting pretty expensive.

@@ragerider6283 Exactly; and for someone like me has only so far aspired to go to a track day, that’s a lot to commit to. I feel confident that my Trident will be fine for awhile before I feel like I need something more track-focused.

@@motomaverickusa Yes for sure. I hope they put the new Daytona 660 engine in the next updated versions of the Trident & Tiger as they would be class leaders imo as they're already very good.

@@ragerider6283​​⁠100%. I am planning on an exhaust and a tune for my Trident; my hope is it gets it at least close to the Daytona, but I know that will be tricky because of the internal changes they made. People I have talked to about tuning the Trident is that it completely wakes up the motor. Fingers crossed…

Haha, he’s a newer rider but doing a great job so far. I was joking with him later on how he kept “rev-blocking” me. I really like the bike, too. I would not be surprised if there’s one in my garage at some point down the road. Thanks for watching!

I didn’t change any settings on the bike, so I imagine everything was “on” and it was in road mode; it was a quick dealer ride at the track and they told us not to mess with any of that stuff. It might have been because I had just immediately gotten off the Daytona, so I couldn’t help but make a comparison, but I was expecting a little more torque in the lower revs. I didn’t really feel the power kick on until around 4k rpm. I’m definitely interested in trying out some additional parallel twin motors to see how they compare. Any specific ones you would suggest?

If you didn't ride it in A mode I suggest you ride it again

@@stephenclarke6114 is that the sport/track mode?

@thadcox5298 Check out the new Triumph Daytona 660; I rode one of those and was super impressed with it. May not fit the “super sport” category completely, but it’s a solid option. Also, I haven’t ridden one, but I’ve heard great things about the Aprilia RS660; I’m hoping to be able to swing a leg over one of those in the near future. Best of luck in your search!

They all still have them. Cbr gsxr what's the problem?

@@alphacapo there's only two options for a modern 600 supersport, the CBR and ZX6R. The GSXR hasn't been updated in 13 years. The R6 was discontinued. The Daytona 675 was discontinued. True supersports are dying and they're being replaced with bikes that sell more to a casual audience but disappoint the people that really love sportbikes. No point in making a sportbike good for commuting, that's not what they're for.

@thadcox5298 what needs updated? U need a tft and a imu? Lol. There hasn't been any big improvements in motors and gearboxes in the last 15 years. Just crap to make a bike work within emissions standards. An upgrade in tires and setting suspension for you is a bigger upgrade than buying a 2008 gsxr vs a 2025

@@alphacapo All sorts of tech/rider aid improvements since 2011. And yes I do like TFTs. I feel like any new $12k bike should have one. I have a 2008 Suzuki and the ABS is terrible- you're better off without it even on the street. Compare that to something like the CBR600RR- electronic steering damper, ride by wire, ride modes, etc.

I’ve owned a few bikes and I agree; it’s very enjoyable. I have 3 bikes in my garage right now and I ride the Trident 90% of the time. Love it!

I seem to remember seeing the issue when going from first to second; I would clutch in and roll off, shift, then clutch out and roll on, just like I would on anything else. Even though the throttle was on, there was no power, then it just all the sudden surged forward; it was like the clutch got stuck and then popped. Is that what you’re talking about? I didn’t realize there was a quick shifter as standard on it, so that might be part of the issue. I hadn’t experienced anything like that before. Maybe I’m just misremembering the whole thing. 😂

@antoniovelez9431 I just looked at this again; the first time was 2nd to 3rd, the other two times were 1st to 2nd. So, I honestly have no idea.

You’re probably right; since I don’t have much experience with the parallel twins, I did some pulls at various rev ranges to try to figure out where it wanted to be; I found the best acceleration was starting at about 4k RPM up to about 7k. Some of the lower end pulls had a bogged down feeling and just didn’t want to “go”. I feel like the triple motors can pretty much pull anywhere in the rev range, so maybe that’s just what I’m used to. I’m looking forward to riding more parallel twins, as there are a LOT offered by various brands. Hopefully I can learn more about the motor with a larger sample size, but also talk to someone who rides one daily to figure out where it’s happy. I’m enjoying riding different bikes and learning something every ride, so I appreciate your thoughts! Thanks for taking the time to watch and comment.

@@motomaverickusa No worries. You're right about the revs on the 8R, it's sweet spot is between 3-4 & 7-8. There's also a mis-conception with the twins that because they're torquey that they pull well in high gears from low revs, they don't. They labour, clatter, chug & protest due to the big pistons so you want to be in a mid gear for a good pull ideally. I'd say from 30mph - 40mph, 3rd or 4th gear is good so you're not changing up too soon & shifting by 8k. As for triples, I do like them & need to spend more time getting to know them as never owned one. I didn't used to be too interested in them tbh but I've more recently seen the light! The Triumph 765cc & Yamaha 889cc engines are amongst the best out there currently imo.

@@ragerider6283 every motor has its quirks, it’s all about getting to know your machine and how to maximize what you get out of it. The Triumph 765 is an iconic engine; check out some of the track times from Moto2 after Triumph became the sole engine provider for that class, it’s pretty impressive. Of course it’s nothing live the V4’s but that’s something else entirely. 😂

@@motomaverickusa Agreed. The 765 is an absolute peach of an engine. They sound & go so well. It's on my list for a possible next bike when the time comes for sure. I don't need 200bhp rocket ship so it'd be more than enough. I'm also keen to see what else they put that engine in too. Although, performance wise, the 660 is enough for me but ideally I'd like a higher spec chassis with more suspension adjustability & better brakes. Don't really care either way about the dash or electronics tbh.

@@ragerider6283check out the Aprilia 660’s. There’s the Tuono for more of a faired naked feel, and the RS660 for the full on sport bike. I’ve heard great things about both, but you’ll pay a premium. I’m wanting to swing a leg over these bikes soon, but I have to drive a ways to get to an Aprilia dealership.

Yes, about 35 seconds in, I put that price up on the screen.

@@motomaverickusa sorry, I missed it.

No worries! Thanks for watching.

Thanks for the feedback; still working on learning about video editing.

Never been on a S1000, but I imagine the Suzuki’s all have a similar feel; just got off a new 8R. Add an adjustable clutch lever, and I’m sure it would be golden.

Yes, I realized that after the fact. Triumph does something similar with the Bonneville line.

You can tell it’s there when you are stationary and blip the throttle, but under acceleration and normal driving conditions, I don’t even really notice it. I thought it would be a bigger deal than it really is. It’s a great bike, and I really enjoy it; no regrets whatsoever!

Yea, I can see what you’re getting at. Compression ratio would also be a good figure to look at, as it has to do with combustion temperatures, with that line of thinking. I think another consideration would be just the general quality of parts they are using. Cheap parts to bring the sticker price down can make your maintenance and repair bills go up. That’s a blanket statement, not always true, but I have found it to be. I’m a “buy once, cry once” kind of person. Haha

@@motomaverickusa I totally agree on the buy once, cry once. I run the best oil and filter I can get my hands on for my truck. Because even if your oil is $17 a quart it's still cheaper than a new engine. Especially when it's a new modern engine that's half the price of the vehicle to replace. :)

Great info, thanks. I’d consider this 450 an entry level bike; you’d outgrow it pretty quickly, too. I’d suggest looking into the 600-750 cc range. I find that class perfect fun for around town and twisties, but also great for cruising the highway as able to get away from those bad drivers. If the power worries you a first, you can always run it in “rain mode” to dial things back a little. Best of luck in your search!

@@motomaverickusa Hmmm. If growing out of this 450 is a problem then I might as well stick with my original choices. Those either being the CLX 700 or the Ibex 800. Those two interest me the most out of all of the other bikes because they fit my riding style the best. The power isn't really the issue for me to be honest. I tend to take it easy until I've gotten used to the feel of it. I'm not a racer so I don't care if it's capable of going blazing fast. I'm looking for good power that has no issues flowing with traffic. Plus it has to be comfortable for extended riding time. Those two bikes fit the bill the most for me. :)

I’m exactly the same way; I really enjoy my Triumph Trident 660 and my Tiger 800 XRx. Perfect riding style for me and enough power to have fun in the twisties without going nuts

@@motomaverickusa As much as I like the looks of the SS model bikes that's why they never really interested me. They're made for going fast and being sporty so there's no practicality to them. The CLX and Ibex can have luggage put on them for holding stuff. So if I wanted to ride to the store I can store my items. :)
