2011 Triumph Speed Triple Overview

The 2011 Triumph Speed Triple is a sport motorcycle built around 1050 cc of displacement. Under the tank sits a Four stroke, transverse three cylinder. DOHC, 4 valves per cylinder engine, a compression ratio of 12.0:1. 2011 Triumph Speed Triple delivers 95 kW @ 9250 rpm of peak power and 111 Nm @ 7500rpm of torque. The factory-quoted top speed stands at 226.8 km/h, making it a capable performer in its class. From a practical standpoint, the 2011 Speed Triple tips the scales at 214 kg, carries a 17.5 L fuel tank, offers a seat height of 828 mm and spans a 1435mm wheelbase. That's roughly 11.3 kg heavier than the average sport motorcycle in our database. Scroll down for the complete 2011 Triumph Speed Triple spec sheet covering every technical detail from suspension travel to tyre sizes.

2011 Speed Triple - Pros & Cons

Strengths

Strong power output: 2011 Triumph Speed Triple makes 95 kW @ 9250 rpm with 111 Nm @ 7500rpm of torque - competitive figures for its class.
Fuel injection: The Multipoint sequential electronic fuel injection system delivers crisp throttle response and reliable cold starts regardless of altitude or temperature.

Considerations

Tall seat height: The 828 mm seat height will challenge shorter riders - tiptoeing at low speeds is something to factor into your decision.
Chain final drive upkeep: Chain final drive needs regular cleaning, lubrication and tension checks to get full life out of the sprockets.

Wear Points & Servicing Notes

Cooling system servicing

The Liquid-cooled system on the Speed Triple needs a coolant change roughly every two years (or per the service schedule) - skipping it lets the coolant turn acidic and corrode the aluminium water passages over time.

Fuelling & injector care

Fuelling comes from Multipoint sequential electronic fuel injection. Systems like this are largely maintenance-free beyond keeping fuel quality decent and injectors clear - a fuel-system cleaner every service interval is cheap insurance.

Brake disc and pad wear

The 2 x 320 mm Discs, 4 piston calipers, Brembo front brake gives strong, progressive stopping power. Disc thickness and pad depth are worth checking at every tyre change, since worn pads can score the disc surface.

Suspension condition on used examples

Up front, the Speed Triple runs Showa 43 mm upside down forks and Showa monoshock at the rear. On a used example, check fork seals for weeping oil and test the rear linkage for play - seals are a relatively cheap fix but useful when negotiating price.

Final drive maintenance

Final drive is by chain - expect to clean and lube it every few hundred kilometres and check tension regularly; a neglected chain wears the sprockets faster than the chain itself.

Frame & chassis check

The frame is Aluminium beam twin-spar - worth a visual check for corrosion or impact damage around the head-stock and swingarm pivot on any used example, since frame damage is far costlier to fix than any service item.

Speed Triple - Buying & Maintenance Guide

What to check before buying

When inspecting a used 2011 Triumph Speed Triple, start with the basics: check the service book for oil change frequency, inspect the chain and sprockets for wear, and look for oil seepage around the engine casings and rocker covers. A cold start test is invaluable - a well-maintained Speed Triple should fire up cleanly and settle to a smooth idle within a few seconds.

Oil and filter changes

Regular oil changes are the single most important maintenance task on any Speed Triple. Stick to the manufacturer's interval - typically every 6,000 km or once a year, whichever comes first. Always use the correct viscosity grade as specified in the owner's manual.

Fuel system care

The Speed Triple's fuel injection system is durable but benefits from quality fuel and the occasional use of a fuel-system cleaner additive. If the bike has been stored for more than three months, drain and replace the fuel to prevent varnish deposits in the injectors.
