Is it possible to tie to wiring harness without removing the gas tank? I'll look again, but when I looked this morning, it was not evident how to tie up to that

Definitely run it along the left side. The right has all the coils and a lot of other obstructions. The first time I did it without removing the tank by taking a long zip tie (or a stiff wire) and sliding it on the left side (front to back I believe) keeping it high. You'll go over the rubber tank brace that is near the middle of the tank. Now if you secure it high up on the front with a small zip tie, so that it doesn't hang down and find the best path out where the tank meets the seat you'll have it- good enough. Mine has not shown any signs of melting (over 20K miles).
Since then when I had the tank off I added a couple of zip ties to the frame but it really wasn't necessary, just looked a little neater. Here's a photo showing what's under there, including my wires for my front marker lights and the camera wire....

Sharing my experience here changing the air and fuel filter and inspecting the spark plugs. Refer to the manual for the basics, but here are things that may help, along with some very surprising discoveries I made... 1) Removing the tank There are three things to disconnect besides the bolt...

Thank you! This is perfect!

For the rear camera, how did you route the cable from under the seat (assuming along the transmission) to the license plate area? I can't seem to get it clean enough
On an unrelated note, took the rocket out for the first open back roads ride this morning - holy moly... The torque is insane (and that's despite me being careful to stay under the break-in guidelines since I don't have 600 on the odometer yet)

The support rails are open on the backside. I might heat shrink that fat connector just to make it very waterproof. No probs in 5k miles though. Undo that one bolt and go under the mudguard. There is a perfect mounting bolt under the turn signal stalk.One more question...

Just wait until you pass the break in period.
Miles of smiles! And another when you add the Penner tune and really let her shine!Attachments

Thank you - those pictures are perfect!
I will read up more on the penner tune, but given I have the storm version, I suspect I may not need a tune at least initially
I thought most ECU maps were to open up the non-storm R3 to the 180Hp. Guessing the penner tune does more than that - I will read up once I get back

No prob, This board is great to get answers for Triumph idiosyncrasies that are sometimes baffling. I think you are right that the Storm did away with the 1-3rd nanny and opened up the map. You are in for a treat after break-in!

Just installed the
VSYSTO D6WL Motorcycle Dash Camera No Screen Safe Driving 130°Wide Angle IP67 Waterproof Dual Motor Drive Recorder 1080P Support Max 256GB G-Sensor WDR Loop Recording WiFi
I got an open box (new) for $110, including tax. No viewing screen (don't need) with this model and I left off the handle bar switches (don't need) so it's just two cameras and parts small enough to fit under the seat in front of the "glove box." There is enough of a void there between the bike and the seat.
I also got a 256GB card. It records automatically whenever the bike is running*** and starts erasing old files after about 20 hours and starts re-writing. If I want footage I just remove the card and load it onto my computer.
I think it'll be great for those times when I don't have a GoPro running (most of the time) and something cool happens like when an eagle swooped down from a tree, startled, and flew straight ahead of me for quite some distance, or when a deer ran alongside me, or the sad time I hit a hawk (still bummed about that). Then there are all of those stupid pickup truck driver incidents that I can splice together to make a full-length "you're an idiot" YouTube video of someday.
Oh, and about six weeks ago when a deputy pulled me over at night right in front of my house. I saw a car moving up on me fast when I was on my way home and just wasn't having it. When he hit me with the blue lights as I was about to pull in behind my house I thought I might actually be headed for jail. The first thing he said to me was "NICE BIKE" before checking my license (to see if I stole it), repeating "NICE BIKE" and letting me go.... Wish I had footage with audio (yes, does that) of that! incident!
***To get it to only turn on/off when running you just need to tap into a switched wire like this one. This is located under the seat, left side, a green wire with white markings, in with a bundle of wires wrapped in cloth tape. I'm using a Positap (great invention, in case you don't know about them) to tap cleanly into the wire...
I was going to tap into the number plate light but was warned against it due to current draw and possibly causing Cam bus faults. Has your setup been okay? Cheers.Just installed the

Yeah, it's still going. I upgraded to another model that has a screen, but it's under the seat- just higher res, etc. Sourcing from that wire has not been an issue for either rig.
