Death Arrow 007
.040 Over
I just bought my 2015 R3T about 3 weeks ago and now -- it's in the shop for at least a week. *sniff*
It was the starter switch. Un-freakin'-believable!!! I had this same problem TWICE on my '05 VTX. Go to start it and -- nothing. Some friends and wifey and I went riding on Monday when it started acting up. The first couple times I just thought it was me not pressing firmly enough. Then on another stop about 40 miles from home, it REALLY messed with me and took a good couple minutes of attempts before it decided to work.
I took it back to the place I bought it from and they were going to fix it until they realized that the bike is still under the factory warranty. So they called the Triumph shop about 10 miles away from them which won't be able to take delivery of the bike until next Tuesday. Then they have to submit a warranty claim to the company and wait about 2 days to get the replacement part. Luckily the dealership is delivering the bike to the Triumph shop free of charge so this whole thing will cost me nothing.
Nothing except a week or more of headache and pain when I look outside and see the sun shining only to realize that I don't have a bike...
