poor @Lemieuxfan was just asking for some help. lol

@CanberraR3 you grumpy old man, I thought you would have offered to fix it for him, even if it does involve a 20hr flight each way.

anyhow, welcome @Lemieuxfan . I'm sure the guys here will help you with a solution. I'm not much of a tech fella so can't be much assistance but I'm sure you'll get it fixed. Saying that, as far as i know the 2014's shouldn't have the relay problems. 1 thing i can recommend checking is your fuses. I know i had a loose fuse that used to give me intermittent problems from time to time. @HansO actually found that i had a melted fuse. ended up being the female connection under the fuse box had pushed through. fixed that and never had a problem since. Hopefully it is something basic and easy like that for you.

will definitely do the meet the members; usually i've been posting on triumphrat.net; but like already the response time of R3owners.net; I like your suggestion with the EB kit is this something the dealership can do for a small fee or will they want a small fortune. The bike is definitely still under warranty so I am good there will have do to some additional coordination to get the bike at dealership. Calling castle powersports monday just pisses me off this seams to be something worthy of a recall but triumph is hiding under their desks- bike only has 1300 miles and already needs new ignition system wtf!

triumph does do a mod as a rectification if needed. they try to get away with it but if it is a problem they'll fix it

thank-you for that; yes checked the fuses they were all good i think it may have something to do with running the high beams last night and somehow jacked something electrical related. Its under warranty so will have the pro's handle it at the stealership

hello everyone,

new to triumph rolling down the road today and bike just stalled was able to coast to safety also thankfully had a friend help get it on a trailer get it in the garage. has only 1300 miles and just a few weeks ago had its first service last night i did drive it quite a bit with the brights on an possible this may have damaged a relay based on the research of done.

I've got a '14 R3R and ride about 1,000 miles per month with the high beams on at all times (during the day) and haven't had any problems. I'd be surprised if Triumph hadn't fixed the headlight ignition problem that seems to be present on earlier models.

I purchased my Rocket 3 Roadster from Castle Powersports. We must be neighbors somewhat. I work in that area of TN. Anyway, they've always taken really good care of me and their rates haven't been ungodly.

Enjoy and they will make it right!
