Please don't use WD40 on your chain. It's not a lubricant and as cleaner will kill your O rings which will lead to your chain failing. Always best to use a specialist chain cleaner and lubricant. Besides that little point I loved the vid as always.

[@SaffySprocket]

amzn.to/3k9qkry this is what I use :)

[@kevinstone2303]

@@SaffySprocket You just put my mind to ease Saffy. So many people think regular WD40 will clean and lube chains and sadly I have seen bike chains snap during rides from it hence my worries 🙈 Thanks for clarifying it's the specialist chain lube you use. Would hate to see something like that happen to you.

[@ttmadness34]

WD 40 will not kill O rings, its been proven. You can clean your chain with it.

[@ThreeB78]

WD40 as a brand have branched out and do special motorcycle chain lube

[@jonboy87]

@@kevinstone2303 that's a bs myth. Wd40 doesn't kill o-rings. It will clean a chain from rust and debris but it's not a lubricant for your chain. If someone is solely using it for a lubricant then that's where you're getting breaks.

This bike has been available for 9 months and reviewed to death ~ however ~ you have brought a whole new fresh approach to it and I thoroughly enjoyed your review. I own a Trident and agree with all you said about it. Subscribed!!

[@SaffySprocket]

Thank you so much 😍 You're so kind!

[@Bavenbushcraft]

Fantastic review! And so well laid out... Most reviewers just tell you what the riding position is like... but you showed us too and for the pillion. You do such a good job... The best reviews I've seen so far... Very thorough and detailed yet nicely absent of pointless waffle. Brilliant... All bike companies should loan you their machines for reviewing!

[@SaffySprocket]

Thank you so much 💓

[@Frank-.]

Another great review saffy. Clear and precise no blundering. Excellent. Stay safe and take care..

[@SaffySprocket]

Thanks Frank :) glad you enjoyed it :D

[@mrsimon2304]

I am really keen to buy this bike and have watched countless reviews. This was one of the best. Great job! Really appreciated your no nonsense approach and real world commentary. Thank you. . . . And I’ve subscribed.

Thoroughly enjoyable review Saffy, nice back but no rear end, where do you carry your gear! Love the bit where you went crazy with excitement when riding the 660 and had to calm yourself down. More please.

[@joelh3765]

Thank you for your video on Triumph Trident 660. I’ve it since 1 month and she’s amazing for me who just have my driving license. Thank you from France 🇫🇷, and sorry for my english 😢😢😢

[@wilswood8137]

Great review saffy , although I love watching your reviews, I’m really looking forward to spring and hopefully some more of your spontaneous overnight adventures 👏😁👍🏼 brilliant God winters not started yet and already it’s to long 😩

Just come across your Videos Saffy. Got to say they are very good. And its refreshing that we have Female Vlogger giving a mixture of bike reviews , equipment reviews,and travel reviews and advice.Im hooked.👍

[@tonydare7614]

Lovely review. Keep changing bikes and this makes me want to test one! I live in Paris and do a lot of filtering, and not enough country lanes as they take forever to get to! But I'll take one for a spin at my local dealer's. My current bike is a Fantic Scramble 500, which will be hard to beat for my current conditions!

[@peterwakeling3964]

Yet again you made it sound so good.and there was nothing missed keep up the great work xx❤😂

[@SaffySprocket]

Thank you so much

[@leeh6816]

Just found your channel. Great review, production and editing. Sub’d. Keep up the great work 👍

[@SaffySprocket]

Welcome aboard! Hope you enjoy the content!

[@FunkStallion]

Great review thanks. Passed my test this year and have been lusting over the Trident, but the dealer informs me it'll be well into next year before I can buy one 😥

[@jameswozny2701]

Definitely worth the wait mate! An almost perfect commuter, with plenty of balls to have fun blasting along the twisties on the weekends

[@robh6795]

Great review Saffy, thank you.

[@SaffySprocket]

Glad you enjoyed it Rob!

[@kenhoward3512]

Very few bike (or car) reviews report on headlight effectiveness, which is important and not acquired through a typical test ride: 'Good job, Saffy.

[@SaffySprocket]

This is so true! My SV headlights are terrible ahaha I think this is why I always check

[@clunymorrison7388]

Nice video Saffy , I've also got a trident it's a 750cc older model from 1995

[@SaffySprocket]

Have you ridden a newer model? Have you noticed much of a difference?

[@dr.niranjanghule5029]

Very good review… 😊thank you

[@lukeb3919]

Not for me but I’m so excited to hear how happy you were riding it that alone is priceless and I wish I could afford to buy you one! Great review I really enjoyed it 👍👸

[@SaffySprocket]

Thank you and glad you enjoyed the video ahahahha

[@malmarsden9730]

Nice to see you out and about Saffy . Nice review but not the bike for me . We are thinking of heading over next year ,unfortunately it won't be on a bike ,my wifes days of riding pillion are over . So if you see someone waving frantically don't worry it's only us . Take care ride safe Mal in Australia

[@SaffySprocket]

I think that's the great thing about biking, there's a bike our there for everyone (and also bikes that aren't great) I could imagine this being quite a popular bike with new female bikers- it's very unintimidating

[@nizzy99k]

Beam flash is on the left front of the switch gear, give it a little squeeze and the lights go between high beam and low Triumph call it the Flash/Pass button.

[@nizzy99k]

Ps, Always enjoy your video’s mainly because you sound like your always having fun and I like the fact you leave in the little things like getting lost 🤣

[@SaffySprocket]

Yeh that's what I was referring to when I was talking about how it feels like a video game gun trigger but you can only switch between full and dim beam- no flash option! You can rapidly hit the switch to flash but I just wanted people to be aware!

[@rishubhchakraborty4963]

Great vid! How do you find the trident 660 compared to CB 650R or even the CBR 650R?

[@anthonytaylor2525]

[@argieessex]

Great video... Are you going to be at NEC Motorcycle Show?

[@SaffySprocket]

I'm not! Didn't have anyone to go with so decided to skip it this year!

[@tridentyyz1031]

Nice bike, but the matte black is a nicer colour. 😉

[@sparkie920]

I personally don’t like the rear of modern bikes, the rear light/reg holders. Like you said in your video being a pillion, you would get covered in the spray from the rear wheel. A proper seat and mug guard would be a better option

[@ver204]

this is really amazing compared to its price. but the seat looks quite high how tall are you?

[@syazwan_ruslaine]

Nice and stylish review. Just a question, will this bike look small for a 178cm guy?

[@SaffySprocket]

Not at all. I'm 170 :) I *just* touched the floor

[@2wheeledgreco271]

I had to lower my audio the first minute of the first impresions of riding 😂

[@alunjones2550]

I have a problem with Triumph when they quite happily exploit the "Britishness" of the brand, using the Union Flag on everything and then take all of their manufacturing to the far east........

[@mark675]

It's the only way to survive as a manufacturer, they all do it

[@MarianChicu]

you’re not wrong, but if they’d continue full British they’d probably eventually die.. Look at the car manufacturers.. they all do the same.

[@alunjones2550]

@@MarianChicu I think Rolls Royce and Bentley would disagree with you.....Failures have usually been down to poor management, poor investments and militant workers. There's no reason that manufacturing in the UK could not be a success.

[@Simbo50]

Isn't that main beam flash on the front of the switch gear Saffy ?

[@SaffySprocket]

Yeh that's what I was referring to when I was talking about how it feels like a video game gun trigger but you can only switch between full and dim beam- no flash option! You can rapidly hit the switch to flash but I just wanted people to be aware!

[@redfive5123]

Very good review! How do you compare the Trident against the SV650?

[@SaffySprocket]

I preferred the Trident to my SV650 but the thing that puts me off is the lack of luggage options

[@redfive5123]

@@SaffySprocket My solution to carry luggage on the SV650 was a KAPPA Z3111 rack and a top case. Even a rucksack it's no problem: my road trips take at least no more than seven days,so I don't need a lot of room. (I stay at hotels, no camping gear to transport). But regarding handling and engine response, which one you consider the best suited for a one day ride in the twisties?

[@richiektm]

Go to see a KZbin Vlogger filming around Cheshire and using one of the Whatcroft chippy lay-bys

[@jag7513]

Nice comprehensive review, great! Do you really use WD40 on your chain? I was always told it is not suitable?

[@kevinstone2303]

It will kill your chains O rings when used as chaincleaner. And dispite popular belief WD40 is not a lubricant so I would strongly advice against it.

[@SaffySprocket]

amzn.to/3k9qkry this is what I use :)

[@SaffySprocket]

Sorry, I should be more specific, I'm just lazy

[@jag7513]

Ah - didn’t know they did one like that. I’ll stop worrying about your chain now…

[@ttmadness34]

@@jag7513 you can clean your chain with WD 40 but dont use it as a lubricant. Its been tested that it wont harm o rings when cleaning.

[@davidreed9300]

Love the long blond hair saffy. The trident is absolutely beautiful bike. But wait till you start having to pay for maintenance.

[@SaffySprocket]

That bad aye?

[@davidreed9300]

@@SaffySprocket There is a maintenance light that will come on at intervals for oil change… you can change it yourself, but to get the oil light to go off, you have to take it to the dealer and get charged. Same with all features, everything is through the dealer at a charge. It’s too bad too, I’ve been looking at the trident for months and this killed it for me. Be safe and ride on Saffy.

[@ladyjrider666]

Great review...connect my phone, take my money. 🤣 love it! Ride safe Lady J Rider

[@LeeCasey]

I pick mine up next week, but I'm worried I'm going to look too big on it? I'm 5'11 and 100kg. Anyone with similar stats own one?

[@MrKdr500]

Do not use WD40 on your chain, it's thin enough to get behind the O'rings and dilute the factory grease....use proper chain lube.

[@SaffySprocket]

Yeh! I wasn't specific - I use WD40 chain lube amzn.to/3mQNZ1q

[@louiscropper]

Triumph are being more than a little bit cheeky putting the Union Jacks on the tank considering that practically all their bikes are made in three factories in Thailand nowadays. I have had various new Triumphs for over 20 years now and I am highly unimpressed with the movement of production from the UK.

[@nizzy99k]

It’s a bit like Apple they stamp “Designed in California” on all mobiles and Tablets but they are all made elsewhere Triumph has six-world class factories around the world. Two of these factories are based in Hinckley in the UK, just a stone’s throw from the Mallory Park race track. There are also three factories in Chonburi, Thailand, and one in Manaus, Brazil. Every Triumph motorcycle begins its life in Hinckley, where all of our design work, prototype construction and engineering takes place. Designed in England will be what they’ll argue

[@SaffySprocket]

Would people buy Triumphs if they were 4x the price for the sake of being made in the Uk? Because I'm not convinced they would. People want competitive prices and in order to get those competitive prices, you need to outsource to overseas counties where the cost of labour is much smaller

[@nizzy99k]

Don’t disagree Saffy, I bought my Triumph because it’s a lot of bike for the money.

[@acoupleofthreethings3249]

@@SaffySprocket Triumphs wouldn't be 4x the price if they were manufactured in the UK and before you blame Brexit, Triumph had already massively cut down on production at Hinckley before the referendum. Moto Guzzi and BMW make most of their bikes in Europe, so why don't Triumph? Greed

[@SaffySprocket]

Probably because Triumph is a smaller market player, they don't have the same buying capacity. BMW has a huge market share and can access bulk discounts which Triumph probably won't be able to access thanks to anti-competative laws

[@davidbaird6996]

Try the z900 to see it some bike

[@SaffySprocket]

I'll have to add it on to the list!

[@seeul8rwaynekerr]

Forget the trident. Go with the street treble for the decent product here.
