Who knows. Of course if you need to add 0.5l of fresh oil every 400km,the oil stays pretty fresh, but it also would have been easy to run low on oil until you realized there was an issue... I was about a liter down by the time I realized - prior owner did not disclose oil consumption issue.

Cylinder liners are scored so they'll be replaced as well. Motorcycle Republic out of Cambridge is doing the work - Matt used to work at Ace Moto Tech and they highly recommend him. I'll send more photos as I get them.

A couple of pictures - pistons and rings quite good, cylinder head...well, not so good. Looks like water/coolant sat there for a while, and somebody did a trash valve job...

Potentially Triumph Sprint ST 1050 pistons could fit? That motor apparently has same bore but longer stroke than 955i?

Can't find Giovanni/Gianni; anybody have a phone number or email? Thanks!

Guys - thanks for your feedback - will follow up with the guys mentioned. This model has liners and they are still available at Triumph, as are most of the other engine parts...except the pistons, which are discontinued - I was not able to find any leftover stock. So it looks like either new...

Hi Brian; Finally got around to sending the bike to an experienced mechanic. Diagnosis is as follows: *Leak-down test shows Cylinder 1 has ~34% loss (acceptable), Cylinder 2 has 75% loss (unacceptable), with significant air leakage at the intake valves. Cylinder 3 has 80% loss also with...

OK will do although it may take a while (weather too nice, so I ride my other bikes...)

Hi Brian, thanks for your reply. Given the oil consumption, one would expect the plugs to be fouled? There was no erratic running before dropping on two though. Even if I get it running on all three again with new plugs, it would likely just be a matter of time until they foul again. Had the...

Thanks for your note. Probably very roughly $3,000, with most of that being labor. Not sure how I'd be able to confirm a junkyard motor is in better shape. Bike up for sale for $2950 no takers. Just thinking that to buy an equally attractive sport-touring bike would probably cost me $8k. Any...

Note to Brian P: I have the same question. My bike is a 2003 Triumph Sprint ST with only 34,000km that consumes almost 1.5l of engine oil per 1000km. In spite of the consumption, ran well for last 4000km until it suddenly ran only on 2 cylinders. Haven't checked plugs or engine compression yet...

Supposedly a number of the T595 issues were ironed out with the later models. What were your issues with the T595? What was your oil consumption? How many kms did you put on it? I've put about 13,000 troublefree km on my 2000 Daytona 955i (so 44,000 total); the 2003 Sprint ST has been more...

Guys - just wondering if other 955i owners have issues with engine oil consumption? My 955i Daytona with around 46,000km consumes none, yet my 955i Sprint ST with about 34,000km consumes over 1liter per 1000km, which is way too much even for this (supposedly bulletproof) engine. There are other...

One of the best sport-touring bikes; powerful, smooth, light, comfortable (great ergos) and handles very well. Running well until earlier this year. Air horn, heated grips, new battery. Bodywork in excellent shape. Reason for selling: has high engine oil consumption (no leaks and no blue smoke...

I have an NSR250 which is 11 digit VIN. TD will not insure bikes that were not distributed in Canada, so I have it with Certas Home and Auto (Desjardins).

Anybody have references for shops that (in part) specialise in two strokes? I have an NSR250 that will need some TLC at some point
