![]() So I cut it down with the mini grinder and, Hey Presto! ,slipped it in there and wound the bolt out. A regular wrench or socket would definitely not get in there, but I did have a handy little 8mm semi socket spanner that I could almost get in. So I looked further and found I could get my fingers on it - and if I could do that, I could perhaps get a tool on it. That's it, all that faffing just because of that bolt. That airbox has no room for maneuvering at all! Anyhoo, I looked the whole job over and realized that the issue all came down to the cooling pipe, just below the carbs, rear mounting bolt. Now anyone who has tried that before would agree with me when I say I would rather have a root canal. I'd already scanned the Haynes manual and, the reason for my depression, was that to get to the little bugger, the carbs and airbox had to come off. Well I got the dreaded click on my '96 900 T-Bird and, after reading this thread, prayed that it was going be something along the lines of an electrical gremlin in the starting circuit or relay (which,incidentally I had just changed - so it was a prime suspect) but, depressingly, all proved to be good and I was resigned to pulling the starter. My bike is an un-heated garage and there is no electric to plug in a battery tender.Īy. After installing toggle switch, no more clicks and my bike even starts in freezing cold weather. ![]() I had the click problem REAL BAD with my 2009 America. If bike doesn't start, then look elsewhere, relay, solenoid, starter, etc. If you want to be sure that this is your problem, before you install toggle switch, open up headlight assembly and just unplug the plug going into headlight. Drill hole in headlight assembly, splice toggle switch wire into hot wire for low beam of headlight, push toggle switch up though hole and secure with nut. Very do-able for do it yourself or have mechanic do it. The fix is to install a toggle switch on the headlight assembly so you can shut off headlight when starting. If you have a Triumph that keeps the headlight on throughout the starting process it draws too much juice and because of the voltage cut-off settings in the CPU it shuts down the starting process and all you get is "click." The settings cannot be changed or re-mapped. Some of the Triumph models have an electrical design problem. Assuming you have a good battery, good connections, etc. If you are having a problem with your Triumph just going "click" when you try to start, I have figured out the problem AND how to easily fix it.
