 Where to find technical info?

Is there any resource that gives technical info about the TBA? For instance, I'm pretty sure I don't have real pushrods, & that the cams are chain driven, but there are questions like that that I can't find answers to without asking my dealer (Manayunk Triumph in Philadelphia, BTW - really great guys).
Is there a book out there that explains the engine innards?
Any help is appreciated. Thanks...

You can get the shop manual. It has exploded drawings of the
motor, and every part of the motorcycle. It's indispensible if you plan on working on your own bike. It is rather expensive about $75. You can order it from Ma's Cycles. Of course, you can get all the info you need right here. No matter what question you may have someone will know the answer.

The shop manual is essential if somewhat cryptic. Takes a bit to figure out what the heck they mean in some spots. Another source is the PDF coming out of England and you can find it hereIt's the parts catalog with blown up drawings and part numbers listed for everything.

Good stuff there, Phil. Just ordered one in case I get brave enough to pick up a wrench.

You won't regret getting the manual.
I've stopped by Manayunk, they have the nicest Triumph shop I've ever seen. Also the best (and only) dealer T-shirts. I need to stop by and pick up one or two more this season. I'm on 276 a good bit, try to stay off 76 through Philly as much as possible.
