| | Posted : 09 May 2020 - 16:02 Post title : THUNDERBIRD | | | In retrospect, pros and cons of our beloved TBird (I've yet to hear of a perfect bike)! Though topics won't apply to all, it's a great article on a destined Classic....
Thunderbird's debut. "The 2010 Triumph Thunderbird's wings have shapeshifted into a massive parallel-twin motor. Triumph's Thunderbird is Harley-Davidson's worst nightmare. If there's such a thing as a slayer of giants or, in this case, a Harley killer, then the 2010 Triumph Thunderbird is the spearhead and the first that really could matter."

I did have the clacking noise for a little while but that stopped when I sussed out the belt adjustment, it came from belt on front Pulley.

I think some of these problems are taken from the older2000 model tbird

Remember, soft cocks hang around all life long, hard ones come and go

Yeah, the massive vibration of a sideways V-twin.
