Re: 12000 mile check

Sherry,


STOOOOOOOOOOP!!!!    Before you waste your money on replacing the Triumph
air filter, order a K & N (Part # TB-0005) filter for about the same amount
(maybe $39.00).   You'll never have to replace the filter again and that'll
be a nice savings over the years of enjoyment you'll get out of your scoot.
[My dealer had trouble finding a K&N # for the '99 Sprint ST', but another
STer on the list gave this number and it apparently matches up with the
Daytona----its a perfect fit].
