EXPENSIVE PROBLEM

[DEcosse]

Don't sweat it Dave - that will definitely be a warranty cover, so if they are going to replace whole thing that is Triumph's issue, not your nickel

So having secondaries fully opened in ECU wouldnt bypass this issue ?

had this error code before, yes it is an issue the throttles (secondary throttle stepper motor), and yes that part triumph will only sell with a whole new set of throttle bodies at a cost of a few grand.

however it could well be just a slight misalignment in the linkage (fair play @TURBO200R4), caused by embarrassing a hayabusa and zx10r, that can be easily fixed. i think your techs might be chequebook engineers!

Rocket III P0638 throttle error

you're welcome

Thanks for the reply and the video. If the warranty is turned down for whatever reason I will try to get it fixed as the video shows. If the warranty covers it I'll just shut up and let them do it.

Ask them for the old one back, lots of parts on there you could use in the future!!!

This concerns me. A $3000 fix over an actuator servo that shouldn't cost more than $150 simply because triumph doesn't offer that part separately. What if a guys bike is a year out of warranty, it's still pretty new but this would be on him to pay for. A lot of people couldn't absorb that kind of cost and the bike would just sit broke down, while still making payments.

I will ask for the complete throttle body assembly if they don't have to turn it back to Triumph. I'm glad I didn't rag about the dependability on any of my friends new Harleys or I'd never hear the end of this. Any bike, especially the new ones with ABS, fly by wire, fuel injection, throttle position sensors, emission sensors and computers that control everything are susceptible to problems. Still love the way the bike feels when nothing is wrong and hope this gets sorted out in the next week or two. Actually if the light didn't come on I wouldn't have known anything was wrong. Would this have caused damage if not discovered?

They probably do have to send it back so they can ostensibly examine it and figure what went wrong. They might actually clean it, repair it and sell it to a business that deals in refurbs. Those types are all over the UK. I'd live there just because there's people in every town doing every little thing. There's nothing you can't build or rebuild if you look around over there.

Just because Triumph won't sell you the part, doesn't mean there isn't someone who can. You just have to know where to look. Probably you have to figure out who manufactured the faulty part and its model number and find a source of that part through an electronics vendor. Where there is a will there is a way.

There are guys here that could fix it also, some are right here on our forum.
