    Totally understand your position. Between me working nights while looking after my 87 year old father during the day, the last thing I needed was the issues that really shouldnt be the norm for an expensive bike like a Triumph. For the position I'm in, I need as little stress and anxiety as...

    My rocket now sold.... Sad but relieved. Too many issues for me to really enjoy it. Hope the new owner has better luck and enjoys it for the great bike it should be. Thanks to all for help and advice on this thread. God bless, merry xmas and a prosperous new year to all. 👍😀❤️

    Just to rub more salt into my wounds, the keyfob now wont communicate with my bike. I have to press and HOLD while its green and quickly hit the power button on the bike to get it to power up. The keyfob works but there is no connection once i let go of the push-button. Honestly, I cant wait to...

    Perhaps you are right. All I can do in the interim is experiment with the time between turning on the bike, then priming the injectors and fuel pump, then hitting the starter. It seems no matter how long I crank the bike on the first start, it will just crank without even a hint of turning over...

    Update...broke down yet again

    It's been 1 week since I got bike back from dealer. They stated the issue was the battery. Only charged for 1 hour's labour so I'm guessing they didn't really look any further than the rear of the bike. Regulator/rectifier, stator, frayed wiring etc could have caused the battery issue but I'll...

    My FOB is at least 10 metres from where the bike is stored. I also make sure its off when I'm not using it. They've replaced the oem yuasa battery with a dynavolt gel battery. The specifications seem about the same. I know they did reflash my ecu which may or may not explain the cranking but not...

    So I now have my bike back from the dealer. All tests, checks and diagnostics came back negative. Before my new battery arrived, 2 old batteries were used to start the bike which it did perfectly without issue. So, due to the original battery being basically 2 years old and never charged or...

    I'm in Sydney. The bike for the last 10 days has been at the dealership Yes the dealer said it sparked up the 2nd time they started it. So you are correct about the heat issue causing the sparking. My hope is they just dont throw a brand new battery in and say thats fixed. I hope they do checks...

    At the end of the day whatever the issue may be, I can pass on that info here so others who suffer the same fate can know the answer.

    Of course being the person I am, I wouldn't sell a faulty bike to anyone. I'd get the issue sorted then proceed. Look it's a great bike. Its why I bought it and it's why I love it. But the faults and issues and costs of motorcycle transport back and forth to the dealer outweigh the positives.

    No, his services came for free for 1 month when I joined the gym. As I've stated, I hope it's an easy fix. If it's a corrupt battery or a poorly maintained one (didn't know the manual says to charge it regularly) then I may keep it. I doubt it though.

    Hope you get your issues sorted sooner rather than later. My personal trainer use to say "it is what it is" Whilst that maybe true, it doesn't mean I have to like it. Hopefully the next owner of my bike will have better luck

    Quality is all but gone now in basically everything. Mass produced, slapped together in 5 minutes and full of issues. Deep down I want to keep my bike, but I don't see it happening. I just want a bike I can rely on.

    On paper it is a great bike. But I can only endure so much before I'm fed up and will move on to something else. Triumph sends most of its work overseas to save money... This is the result

    Yep I'm as patient as can be expected when the bike can't even start. I'm patient with the dealer as they are patient with me. We always have had a good relationship.

    Update...broke down yet again

    Yes I feel your pain. I've been lucky that my dealership takes my issues seriously, but also works with triumph to find answers. Having said that though, it's of little comfort the problems that surface with what is supposed to be a premium motorcycle. If this current electrical issue drags on...

    Update...broke down yet again

    Ive made a concerted effort the whole time that they never built the bike, triumph did. Any anger and frustration is directed at triumph, not my dealer. I show them courtesy, respect, and give them and their dealership positive reviews whenever possible. As for my decision, if it's a simple fix...

    Thanks mate. Still no update yet. A new battery was purchased but I've heard nothing. Guess its something more sinister. I'm looking at getting rid of it if and when its fixed. I'll take what I can get if it means piece of mind. Shame, its a great bike on paper. My dealership is great...

    Update...broke down yet again

    I see where they're coming from now that the battery is basically dead, by getting a new one they at least eliminate 1 possible cause. In the meantime they can inspect other possible cabling and wiring for imperfections. I spoke with the tech guy this morning and with loose connections a common...
