I recently bought (and sadly dropped) a used 2007 triumph speed triple. The place most effected was the stator cover on the left hand side. The clutch lever also broke but that was a very quick fix. Once my parts arrived I started by taking off the old cracked cover. I removed all the bolts and tried to pull the cover off evenly. It had some resistance due to the magnets inside so don't think you missed a bolt and drive yourself crazy, just pull firmly and evenly. Once the cover was off I removed the three cap head screws holding the stator to the cover. Then the small silver cap head screw and tab holding the wire down. Then I removed the old silicone around the rubber gasket on the wire. Next I used gasket remover and a razor blade to very carefully scrape off the old paper gasket. Use great care in this step because if you nick or gouge the machined surface you will have leaks. Once the gasket was off I started assembly of the new parts. I routed the wire back just like it was and screwed in the small tab that holds it in place. Then screwed the stator back to the cover using the three cap screws. Once that was in place I very carefully re silicone around the rubber gasket where the wire runs through using basic high temp RTV silicone. Coat the new paper gasket with a small amount of new clean motor oil and apply it to the engine case (not the cover in your hand). It shouldn't be dry but shouldn't be dripping oil either. Then I very carefully lined up the cover to the engine and set it into place. Note: The magnet will try and pull the cover on quickly which could gouge it, split the gasket, or misalign the bolt holes so hold the cover firmly and slowly guide it into position. Once the cover and gasket are in position you can start replacing the bolts. Tighten in a cross pattern and be sure not to over tighten! Check your engine oil level since you will have lost a small amount and then your good to go.

If you have never replaced a clutch lever, start by removing the main bolt that the handle pivots on. Turn the tension adjustment knob so that the slot lines up with the one in the housing. Then you can easily take out the old clutch (or remnants of it) and the line wire connecting it. Simply slide the cap at the end of the wire back into the new clutch lever then the lever back into the housing. Replace the main bolt and adjust your tension knob to whatever level you prefer and your ready to shift again.

Easy to install. Torque in a star pattern like you would your car tire or cylinder head.

On the sump gasket, make sure you buy exhaust gaskets as well. Didn't think about having to remove the exhaust. Ended up having to order those as well.

The job was pretty straight forward as it was basically replacing parts. However, ADEPT powersports recommended two gaskets when I selected the alternator cover.....good thing they did, the bike only had one of the gaskets on. If I wanted to reused the existing gaskets I would have been short one.
Thanks ADEPT powersports

I purchased a damaged motorcycle from dashub. Lucky for me a lot of the repairs i can handle it myself, thanks to the help of youtube and other information obtain from 2wheelpros website "parts diagram" . This is my first project motorcycle and my biggest concern was to be able to get oem parts that i need it. 2wheelpros had all the parts. Alternator "stator" cover, handle bar, grips, indicators, brake lever and mirrors. The experience for me so far has been positive. 2wheelpros prices and delivery time was perfect 7 days or less compared to other.
