That's the old 885cc triple, and/or the more powerful Series III, not
the T509, T595 or the smaller 600/650/675s

Need a swift hand....

What's the problem? I've worked extensively on a couple of them and had
an 885 Sprint stripped right down. I've also got a factory manual for
them.

I think you're missing the point here. Think journalism and shite old
bike reviews.

A mate of mine has the 900 Thunderbird. He's just been trying to get it
running after a lay up. Long story short, the backfire was so big it not
only blew the airbox to pieces and him across the garage floor, it also
set light to the bike.

So "reliability good if well maintained but some jobs are challenging
for the home mechanic"
