Has the new fuse blown?
If not I would be looking at the connections, not only at the fuse box, but at the switches.
Do you have a multi meter to check 'earthing'
If one of the fuse connectors 'cracked from corrosion' then the others will be of a similar condition and this is just a series of breakdowns waiting to happen. I would plan for fitting a new fuse box. If you have a proper crimping tool and the correct connections then it will be a straight forward job, once you have access.
You don't say where in the world you are (use of grounding, possible US/Canada?) so unable to provide any recommended retailers

A cautionary tale. Thanks for sharing
I remember the first time I was out with my boy and as we crossed the Erskine Bridge we hit the traffic jam. I pulled over and asked if he had ever filtered before "no" was his reply
"Ok, here are my rules, follow them if you want" says I
Don't just go for a gap because I got through it
Don't trust any gap will remain there
Always look ahead
Always plan ahead
Be patient and do not get agitated
Enjoy the experience
We had to filter from Erskine Bride to Balloch, so about 10 miles, and once through and a few miles behind us we stopped for a cuppa....He was still buzzing and was chirping away like a canary
Yours is a wee reminder that we always need to be cautious and that it is not always the fault of others, or indeed anyones fault
Oh and how is the foot?

RS Bike Paints list it as Brandy Red Metallic @ £8.50 for 25ml
They also recommend you buy their lacquer at the same price, then there is their p&p

Hey Snakebite, you can't drop titbits like that and not give us the full story (unless of course you were/are a terrorist or OCG in which case stay hushed)

Tried again to post pics direct without success
Shouts loudly "Aleeeeexxxxxxx, whats happened, why can't we post pics now"
-
That just seems a recent issue, for me anyway.
I got around it by putting the pic on fb and copying it there

thats a lovely looking bike jimmy. does it sound as nice as it looks? i saw one of the new Triumph Tridents in Lyme Regis last week, along with a new Rocket and a Thunderbird i think it was? looked a bit Harley like.
Yea, I think it sounds great.
Look on utube for Trident howl and turn the sound up

No booze last night so a wee 105 mile jaunt on my 1975 Trident.
Stopped in Largs for a photo and tea
Edit, eventually sorted

Great intro mate

Sorry can't help other than ask if any of your pals were present when you were working on the bike.
Back in the day that was one of our gags, to leave a random fastener, or ball bearing lying around.
Sorry that's no help but thanks for dredging up some memories

I think he means have you stripped the threads out the hole your stud was screwed into

How you getting on with the Helicoil quest Alex?
Based on the assumption that its a standard metric thread then the socket size should give you an idea of the stud.
the general rule for standard sockets for metric threads are as follows:
m5 nut/bolt/screw = 8mm socket
m6 = 10mm socket
m8 = 13mm socket
m10 = 17mm socket
m12 = 19mm socketI've done a bit of googling and found the stud on the parts diagram for the MT-09 cush drive of the rear wheel.
https://www.motorcyclespareparts.eu/en/yamaha-parts/2016-mt09-tracer-abs-motorcycles/rear-wheel
(regardeless of year they all seem to share the same nuts and studs)
The stud (15) is part number 90116-10048-00 and the nut (16) is part number 95602-10200-00
Putting those in Google I managed to find that the nut takes a 17mm socket therefore its likely its an M10 stud.
I then stumbled across the break down of the Yamaha part numbers
90116 = are indeed studs and all self lock nuts start = 95602
the next two numbers are the M size= 10.
That confirms that then!
Unfortunately none of the rest of the code indicates the thread pitch!
However, i did manage to find a close up photo of the stud part number : https://www.bts24.co.uk/en/transmission/chaindrive/rearsprocket/mountingbolt/screwsprocketoriginalsparepart901161004800.html?utm_source=dlvr.it&utm_medium=facebook
Although the photo could be a generic photo I found one for sale on ebay that someone was selling showing the actual packet and the stud with it and this shows that it has the same thread on both ends.
The reason I mention this is studs that fit exhausts, which are also double ended, have a much coarser thread for the stud part that screws into the engine block. However, in this case the ebay photo confirms it is the same thread on both ends of the stud.
Using the first chart shows M10 being available in three pitches, 1.0, 1.25 and 1.5mm, unfortunatley I couldn't find any confirmation of the pitch size for the nut or stud other than the standard metric thread for an M10 appears to be 1.0mm. The other two are finer and I don't think you can decipher which it is just by the photo, unless someone knows any different.
Hope this helps you Alex.

I've been on earlies last two days so roads dead on the way in (0400hrs) and chok a blok on the way home.
Some crazy filtering yesterday by a load of bikes and scooters, which I let myself get caught up in. When I finally got through it all I was fkn angry with myself as there were some stupid risks taken
No harm done tho (other than pissing off a load of car drivers) and a much better run into work today

Look at Armours. I've just bought a complete system from them and delighted with the quality and price

Super cool work, So is the Trident engine different, to the Rocket three , [ as brits shared parts back then , ]
John
There were two versions. The T150 which ran in tandem with the R3, and the T160 (mine) which was the 2nd version, but had the sloping engine similar to the R3. The T160 has an electric foot as well
The T150, according to the critics was the better, faster, lighter bike, but the T160 was by far the best looking bike Triumph/BSA built
-
For those into engine porn.
My 1975 T160 Trident was burning a bit of oil, so having missed out on a few weekend aways due to lockdown, I saved my money and gave the bike through to Grin Triumph in Kennoway, Fife. He is a one man operation with a great rep for auld Triumphs.
I dropped it off in March and picked it up a couple of days ago.
He stripped the top end and rebored the barrels out to +20 and fitted new pistons. He also fitted new valves, guides, springs etc and vapour blasted all components.
Apologies it's not a Yam, but hey...the sharp eyed will note that the vacuum covers on the carb gantry are actually Yam parts, so qualifies
