I am picking up a second daytona this saturday.
Bike was laid down on the highway. Fairings are jacked, clear title (never reported), and clutch cover will need replacing.
The gentleman was going to part it out and unloaded the wheels and tires
already, but is selling me the bike in shambles (he disassembled it all, minus engine thankfully it is still sealed) for $1500.. 2008. 13k miles.
He literally has everything down to the nut and bolt.
Is there anyone that has a how-to put this beast together on this bike? I literally need to put the entire thing back together. Couldn't find any detailed build threads...
I have (or will have) the official triumph factory service repair manual in a week. You think I should still get a Haynes, or you think it'll be good enough?
In your case, I would get both that factory manual and the Haynes manual since you are not familiar with your new bike (parts). The factory manual will be more detailed, and the Haynes manual will have more pictures for you to reference and is written for the common wrench turner. Good luck!
saumo, good luck. i think one of your best bets would be to find a member near you with a daytona. at least you could look over it and see where a lot of stuff goes and understand the direction you need to go.
not many people will know their bikes better than you at the end of the day! :laugh: GL! :thumbup:
I would think you should be fine, bikes have minor differences but figuring out how things get put back together is the same principle as a car. Just take your time and do it right.
What everyone said. It would be easiest to put the frame/swingarm/forks/shock/wheels together first and then lift the engine up into the frame, I would say. I wish I would have done it that way on my SV when I had it apart.
