Not only to learn how to maintain, fix, and repair but also to learn how the engine itself works. I have never had a desire to learn about mechanics but since getting this bike I am suddenly wanting to know everything. I have even contemplated taking some classes but cant find a motorcycle specific class to take here in Denver. I also thought to pick up a Haynes Manual but dont find one for the 07. Anybody have any ideas as to how I might begin this journey?

I also thought I saw a "how to troubleshoot" link in there too. The haynes manual should be the same or at least close. The only difference in the engine as far as I know is that the America got the same engine this year as the Speedy has had all along? (I'm sure someone will correct this if I'm in error) So when you read the manual where it says "for the america..." skip to where it says "for the speedy..." The manuals are worth their wieght in gold IMO. 1982 Pontiac Trans Am...K.I.T.T. in progress. "It looks like Darth Vaders bathroom in here..."

I would also suggest to visit that great beer maker and Triumph Master, Pat's site. Pat's Site Dave 04 SpeedMaster, Windvest Screen, Leatherworks Bags. F&AM, WM 3 times Rifle & Pistol Competitor
