Hi just bought the R3 GT 2020 model what should I be aware of? Thanks

Welcome aboard. I would start a new thread introducing yourself and you will get a lot more responses. The rear brake recall was a pretty big deal with these bikes.

Just so you know—even though it’s not the original topic—the technical manager from Triumph France was visiting the island last week. When asked about the rear brake—which constantly needs bleeding to work properly—his reply was: "We are aware of it; for now, there’s nothing to be done other than bleeding the system." He added that the problem seems to stem from the ABS unit located under the fuel tank and above the engine, which apparently gets "too hot"...

If you look back at a few threads a few of us for the last 5 years have been preaching the heat from the engine and exhaust theory for a long time. My dealer stated they had no idea why the rear brake goes soft over and over again but if you bring it in they will fix it ( temporarily of course). Since I am a betting man I would say Triumph knew this from the start and figured it would be much cheaper to make the buyer come to their house no matter how far the client has to travel to get the rear brake bled. Much cheaper than actually fixing the problem. Don’t think for a second they haven’t crunched the numbers pro and con. My 2020 needs another bleed making it #4 and I barely ride anymore. Free or not It pisses me off. Just fix it Triumph instead of reapplying bandaids.

It is really irritating. Has anyone tried racing brake fluid with its higher boiling point?

Thats what I use in mine 660 I think. I never had the issue but I figured why not.
