I had a 3TA years ago that did a similar thing. It was down to a worn carburettor, weakening the mixture.

F F S go an get a tissue and cough medicine...

My first go to would be to clean the air filter. I had a 400four which would run well for a bit and then would not rev hardly at all and got increasingly worse. it turned out to be a damp sponge at the entrance to the air filter box.

Your silencer is upside down. I had a super sporty half bathtub Tiger 90 when I was 18. My MZ Supa 5 was better but the Triumph had a lovely melifluous burble at low revs and a demonic shriek when I was trying to keep up with my brothers T120V. .

Decades ago, I had a 1961 3TA (civilian but no bathtub), it was a lot of fun and great to ride. It was very manoeuvrable and good in traffic. A two into one exhaust was a common mod, supposedly to improve lower end and middle range torque but mine had twin exhausts.

Sounds like a carb problem do you use a choke to start it, does the choke fully disengage when its warmed up? I remember the old manual choke levers and sometimes I would forget to turn it off until the engine started stalling.

Hey Aaron, assuming that's your name, I did some digging and if you Google "dutch army triumph motorcycle", You should find a Dutch website with a bunch of info/history and such. And just because you bought a Dutch ex army bike, them flatlanders over there are not going to assume you're fluent in Dutch all of a sudden, so the site is in English. I don't know of the top of my head what the specs are on that Monobloc, have to do some more digging. You can of course only be sure what jets and throttle slide are in there by taking it off and checking the numbers. Maybe some experimenting with different settings may work. You'll find both the Solex and Amal specs on the website as well as typical problems and the cure for them. Hope this works for you. Let me know. Cheers!!!

Looks like it’s doing 50 standing still.

fastet bike for 7 years . great bike ! top exhaust sound 1

Cool!!! Bought mine in 1985 when the DOD released a bunch of them for auction. I think they were geared a little lower for off road riding and besides escorting a tank column doesn't happen at more than 50 mph. Tank tube inlet for deep wading, kinda unique. They had a Solex carb with a choke lever on it. Big black leather bags with lockable features. All the lube points were painted red. They had a skid plate under the engine. Interchangeable front and rear wheel, both WM2, 18". Exhaust system was painted silver grey. No chrome parts anywhere. Looks like your bike got started on being civilianized, something lots of owners did. I think you have a nice fairly unchanged machine here. Good score! Been awhile, may remember more if I dig deeper.

What Enfields did you have, and how does this compare?

Gorgeous.

Nicer than the civilian version

Is this dark grey?

Had one in all balck. Still a brilliant bike by any standards. An indicated "Thats more than fast enough" 180mph on the limiter isnt to be sniffed at.

Watch the documentary Europa the last battle.

Rev bomb? 😂 Cool don't get me wrong and I used to love when bikes would fly by, but I've always known a rev bomb as hitting the limiter. Thought you were gona blow the kids ears out

Ive had my open class licence for 22 years with 7 bikes in the garage & still love riding my 660 MT. don't think I could sell it.

Glad you enjoyed your test ride on the Ryker & F3 Spyder. Sounds like you had a great experience! We have a 2022 Spyder RTL chrome model & throughly love it. Puts a big smile on our faces every time we go for a ride , it’s so much fun ! We have a short riding season here which can start from April or May until September depending on when the snow/ ice decides to come & go! Thank you for giving us a true opinion on what you felt, coming from two wheels, as we still get criticism for not being a motorcycle! It does get a lot of comments from people were ever we go! Seems like there are a few more dealerships opening up over there now, as I could only find 2 when goggled it a while back. Ride safe regards Stephen Alberta Canada.

Great stuff.....thanks mate😊

Good video . Greetings from NZ great fun to ride I got the Ryker rally love it. Nice to see the old country again

Good bike kawasaki ZZR1100 type C 300km over

Good review but i found the shakiness of the camera gave me vertigo. LOL.

Hi Great two see reviews on older bikes these day not every one can afford new bikes with scilly power and technology Am old school rider I want two be in controll the bike apart of the riding I used two have big bikes still my favourite bike is kawasaki ninja zx9r c1 model I had over 200 bikes in my time from 125 to zx12r With the prices of new bike is just crazy and priceing normal working people out I been riding 40 years still riding ok I gone back two basic bike a suzuki inazuma gw 250 yes not fast be very cheap two run Thank you for reviews It's difficult two get a big following on utube keep up the good honest reviews and rides Keep smiling ride safe

How is the comfort, could you do a long tour on it without requiring the services of a chiropractor?

No acta para circuitp pero si para autopista autentico f16

The first ones did 200mph unrestricted they put nylon caps in the carbs to limit full throttle ,just take them out, apparently . I had two later ones and they both did 175mph on the clocks. 😮

zxr 750 carb tops ..make it full power..but me wouldn't bother they go well enough

i had one34 years ago it did 180 mph mine wasnt restricted i suspect the slides aint opening fully

It's the carb tops mate. As the slide comes up to it's fully open position the tops stop it opening fully by touching the carb top. If I remember correctly the slide goes 3/4 of it's way up. Cure and access to full power is a set of tops.

Hi mate, thanks for the review. Does the bike get through MOTs OK with the MIVV exhausts? How loud are they compared to the originals (they don't sound too loud on the vid)? Cheers

Had one of these years ago and always regretted selling it. I've had numerous, much more powerful bikes since but always missed the playful character of the MT. So I finally gave in today and bought another one. It won't be ready to collect till Friday.....and that's why I'm watching videos of them now :))

I will believe when I see them. Not seen them yet. Happy walking.

Keep it standard......in time it will be in the gpz900r.prices ... It will double in value

Nice looking bike

Very nice 👍🏻 ❤️

very heavy on the wrists though, apart from that its fcukin mint. mine was blue black 1987

Sell it before it blows up.

quickest bike in its day ,always out of my reach ,great bike

That's a much better bike for you than a GPZ500S coz you're not exactly Skinny. 😂😂 I hope you have many happy miles! 👊✌️

Feel the same 😞

its an easy fix crack on , this is why i ride classic bikes as i dont like mot,s. get yourself a nice honda 650 classic f mot,s.

Just bought one ! @ 78/years on my clock I’ve downgraded myself from a Raptor 1000 & all the positive reviews on you tube have convinced me this is the bike for me ( sensible 🥴) If I had 5 grand I’d buy another Buell 900 city X but alas ……. Nice review matey,I can’t wait till Monday 🤪

Bugger! I had the exact same on mine. Annoying because the new bearings are relatively cheap, but the work seems to be a tricky job to DIY, so a bit pricey once a mechanic gets involved. Hope you manage to sort it

Ah man! Once the headstock bearings are replaced it should feel loads better

I'd say that's a good deal for the Beeline. Think I paid about £95 for mine, second hand.

Just imagine if it really was a BSA

Hopefully you've got it sorted. Can't go wrong with EBC pads :), I found the HH rated ones on the front gave a more firmer braking feel. I get what you're saying about the rear brake, they are notoriously bad on the GPZ. My feedback for you, just keep doing what you do as long as you enjoy it. I'm sure some exploring would go down well. Mental health is something we should all be talking more about for sure!

Would make a good hardtail chop with springer forks, amal carbs, straight pipes. 💯

Can't beat that new tyre feel. Not sure if they still make them, I used to swear by Michelin Street Pilots on my GPZ, they were fantastic in dry or wet and I'd easily get over 10k miles out of a pair. Great to see a GPZ 500 still on KZbin! Also, congratulations on 100 subs!
