Triumph bonneville t120 1968 low oil pressure
Several things could be at play: Type or weight of oil, confirm this first. Not to question the rebuild but if not done properly (improper bearing clearances, too large) the oil pressure can be low and perhaps a worn pump too. While I am unfamiliar with the engine and oil pump loaction I'd check it if your able too. You'll probably need a good set of feeler gauges to check this if these clearances are outside of the pumps limits the pump will be less able to create pressure; this is of course more evident when the oil heats up.
Another cheap fix is to use a heavier weight oil.
Hope this might help,
Tom

I connected the possitive lead
I would check out any wiring that is routed through that area for signs of burnt or broken insulation, but it sounds like you already covered this since you say that everything appears to be visibly okay. Is everything on the bike operating properly or is this causing an issue of some kind?

Your voltage regulator has packed up, have you jumped it from a car? thats guaranteed to stuff it! 85+amps 12v into 16amps 12v dont go!

I have a 73 Triumph 650 motor in a rigid chopper
The stator is inside the primary cover (left side of the bike while sitting on it) Not sure what setup you have but if it has stock triumph charging equipment take it all off and replace that with a rectifier/regulator you will be better off with it... I have been running one on my 1970 Triumph 750 custom for about 10+ years with no trouble..... This only cost about $50 and well worth it!!!! Avoid the Mitty Max they are junk........ Best of luck.....

BIKE STARTED WENT FOR A RIDE,WOULDN'T START AGAIN
Are the electrics still Lucas, the prince of darkness? If so, go thru the whole ignition system, track the circuit to the plugs. It may be as simple as a weak battery, closed points, or funky plugs. Start there, and a bad condenser can stop you, too. I've only seen one bad condenser,but you may have the next. Take the plug out and hold it to the motor and check for spark while spinning the motor. With the other plug out it will spin easier. Check both, if you have two coils.

Coils are hot to the touch
Hi and welcome to FixYa,
Offhand, am not familiar with a T120 Bonneville. However to my knowledge, there would only be 2 possible reasons why the ignition coil would heat up as you described:
- the - terminal of the coil is wired to the ground; or
- the CDI/igniter is shorted or in older designs, the contact point/condenser is shorted to the ground. On the contact point, it is also possible that the gap is erroneously set that it would appear to be shorted to the ground.
Good luck and Thank you for using FixYa. Happy Holidays.

1997 triumph daytona 955i. Battery. Is not charging while im riding it. Why ??
There are several possible reasons why the battery on your 1997 Triumph Daytona 955i may not be charging while you are riding it:
- The battery may be faulty. If the battery is not holding a charge or is not functioning properly, it will not be able to charge while you are riding the motorcycle.
- The charging system may malfunction. The charging system is responsible for supplying power to the battery while the motorcycle is running. If the charging system is not functioning properly, the battery will not be able to charge.
- The voltage regulator may be malfunctioning. The voltage regulator is a component of the charging system that regulates the voltage supplied to the battery. If the voltage regulator is not functioning properly, the battery may not be able to charge.
- The battery cables or connections may be loose or damaged. If the battery cables or connections are loose or damaged, the battery will not be able to receive a charge.
To troubleshoot the problem, you should start by checking the battery to see if it is functioning properly. If the battery is not the issue, you will need to check the charging system and voltage regulator to see if they are functioning properly. If the problem persists, it is recommended that you have the motorcycle inspected by a qualified mechanic. They will be able to diagnose the problem and recommend the appropriate repairs.
