1998 Triumph Triumph Thunderbird Questions & Answers
Ignition wiring luck
if its running leave it alone its probably a connection for a different model. companies use standard wiring harnesses for most of there bikes and just omit some wires for different bikes.
Turn the ignition key to on. sometimes the lights
Sounds like the starter solenoid is on its way out.Follow the positive lead of the battery down to a small canister,about the size of a pill bottle.When you advance the key you should hear a distinctive click coming from this part.If you don't try tapping on it lightly to see if you can get it to click.If you have a 12 volt meter you should be getting a good solid 12 volts going down to the starter motor from the solenoid .If you don't you have your culprit.Happy Riding
Starter clutch noise
if it sounds like its gratting then it is the starter clutch and unfortunately its a crankcase split.
Triumph Legend 1998 same as Thunderbird 900motorcycle running badly.
Was the bike working okay after the overhaul? Mis firing due to bad setup or very bad fuel.If it has not run right since the work was carried out ask the repairer to take a look.
If it only started to go awry after using wheap fuel, (it should still be of uniform quality with other fuel,)
I would drain the tank and refill with premium. Try not to get any air into the system if you do this, makes life easier
GOOD LUCK

Were is the drain plug for the forks
I'm not particularly familiar with your bike, most bikes the oil has to be dumped out of the top. Some have drain plugs at the very bottom, but with a little extra work you should take the tubes off and thoroughly drain and flush. Removing the tubes is pretty straight forward, supporting the front, removing bolts and nuts and speedo cable. I always recommend to spend a couple bucks and buy a service manual from say amazon. It's the best $$ you'll ever spend.
I cannot over emphasize to be OH SO careful taking the top plug out, it's spring loaded and capable of taking a couple teeth or pranging your nice car parked in the garage. A manual will lay it all out, how to inspect and type/quantity of oil. With only 2 wheels keeping you off the pavement, an inexperienced job on one is ill afforded.
