Default Quick Tune Up & Firing Roys 1970 Bonneville

According to the guys this bike hasn't been fired in just a few years. It's better to run them every now and then instead of letting them get old and dried up. All that was needed to get this Bonneville up and running was a quick valve adjust, new fuel line, oil change, inflate the tires and fire'er up. It wanted to start on the first kick and the second one was given a healthy stomp and she fired off without a problem. You can thank the electronic ignition for that.

Of course it's best to take off the tank before starting. You don't want to get close to a Triumph tank this nice with any tools.


First order of business, drop fluids, check plugs and carbs.


Can't work on the bike without some cheese and crackers. Mmmmmmm.
