Triumph Rocket 3 R
Yesterday i received an email from triumph saying my r3 r has a saftey recall. When searching on my VIM on the website it says it doesnt.

Anyone else got this mail?

What was it about?
 
...i hear there are a few having rear brake fade problems....maybe its an air thing in the reservoir?
I haven't received a recall yet, however im booked in on Monday at the dealer to look at the rear for that exact issue, pedal goes all the way down, so definitely has air in it and the hill hold doesn't seem to hold the bike well anymore.
 
...way i heard it is 'Triumph' are aware there is a small problem but until they get a 'fix' there wont be a recall. Afterall, they are Brembo brakes...as used on race bikes...so...
 
Got the same love letter. Problem is the mini-stable has three Trumpets...(Darned Brits!)

Not sure which of the three is out to kill me. Provably the Thruxton, now that she's all cafe'd out...

What's with the U.K., haven't they heard Italian bikes are s'possed to be sexy and German bikes well engineered? So why the H*ll are they making sleds that are sexier than the 'Talians and better engineered than the Bosh?

And now we have recalls, like riding your motorcycle may be unsafe? The world has gone wacky, why, don't you feel safest and happiest riding one of these "death machines"?

So I'll go through one of these strange perfunctory recalls to make (one) of my motorcycles perfectly conforming. Hope it's safe where I go, how I deal with these lovely twisty ribbons, at the speeds I choose. Or maybe not!

Brain damaged bureaucrats!
 
Had the same problem with the rear brake getting air in the line somewhere. Dealer replaced the ABS module and so far so good. Now one of my poorly made panniers zipper has bit the dust!! Anyone have any other pannier options?? Man I really do love this bike. Went to a bike and coffee Sunday last week and most folks took a while to warm up to the big girl, but then a bunch of Triumph riders started asking questions! I think most people just don't know what to make of it. I tell them one ride should do it:p:p:p

i heard the panniers are a bit 2nd rate too...come on Triumph...get with the programme...a great bike but some ****ty fittings!..the false radiator cap made of plastic and not guaranteed to go south as youre galloping along!...my cobbers 'R' model radiator cap was just sitting there waiting to go the other day...WTF?
