No rear brake again

[mo8414]

Yes sir. YOU have to apply the rear brake pressure. Then, if the angle is sufficient and you activate the front brake while exerting rear brake pressure the Hill Hold will activate trapping that pressure you applied to assist holding the bike at that angle. The front lever just activates the ECM logic for things to happen given the proper inputs. No magic involved.

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........

Honestly, who needs help starting on a hill? Triumph treats its customers like children..

Right?.. And not just Triumph. My KTMs have it. And most manufacturers. Needless complication IMO.

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!

My 2020 bike had recall for new large master 18 month ago, thought it was getting a bit spongy again towards the end of last summer,but after 4 month storage,no back brake again,thought that Triumph had finally fixed it with recall, but now back to bleeding myself again.

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!!

 

[zenbiker]

it's a **** BREMBO brake!! Why does it work on my Ducati but not on my R3??

 

[RUN666]

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...

Would a dot 5.1 higher temp fluid help? Or maybe you already did

 

[RUN666]

I changed the brake fluid. Now there's Motul RBF 700 which is supposedly more resistant to high temperatures and better than Dot 5.1 I used in Rocket !
