No rear brake again

I teated this yesterday. You don't have have to apply the rear brake to engage hill hold. It will do it with only the front brake applied.
 
I found my Hill Hold wouldn't let go no matter how much power I applied with the motor, so I quit using it. The only way to disengage it was to kill the engine and then restart. I could spend a bunch of money with the dealer's tech to sort, but not using it is free. I could disable it and then reenable and see if that fixes it but so far hasn't been an issue riding around. Plus I'm lazy........
 
In the garage there's a Harley, a Ducati, a Husqvarna, an Aprilia, and an Indian, and they don't have that gadget, and I'm perfectly happy with that... Manufacturers should stop making motorcycles so complicated... less electronics would be a plus in many cases! (For me, ABS is already a pain...). Not to mention the problems caused by these complications...
If you can't start on a hill...buy a scooter!
 
Why they cannot get this rear brake mystery solved is beyond me! Two tries for me at an authorized Triumph dealer and am still not happy with it!!
 
Same here, except on my Ducati Streetfighter the rear brake hose is too close to the exhaust, so...same problem as on the Triumph (maybe not the same cause...) no more rear brake after a while, so it's a bleed and re-bleed!
For me, the problem with the Rocket is that too much technology kills the technology, and in trying so hard to help riders, the engineers end up with the opposite result!

Remember when sex was safe and motorcycles were dangerous...
