Stalling

[sunny]

It happened to me on Friday. My observations are that when the temperature below 16C it happens. It was cooler on Friday when it happened.

it just has not happened with you enough so that you can rule out temperature factor.

.....triumph are calling it a fault one of the spark plug caps wasnt snapped down on to the plug top......

I posted when I did my first 10k service, myself, and was shocked to see every dang plug wire was just resting on top of the plugs. Getting them to seat took a lot of effort, so I guess it was too much trouble for the workers on the assembly line.

However, since that is no longer an issue on my bike I have had that stall happen a few times. My untested theory at the moment is that it may have to do with the flimsy clutch switch. If I'm correct, and this happens to you, see if you can start the bike without the clutch lever pulled in. If so, the switch is broken or not set properly. Your fuel reading may be off, as well. Just a theory, but I have a feeling it might be related.

It's happened to me a fair number of times (+10), mostly in the first year of ownership.
My observations (perhaps not yours) is that it occurs when the temperature is low. It has never happened to me when it's warmer (+18C) outside.

maybe something to do with GT vs R.

TFC has died a couple of times but early in the bikes life.

I have experienced it once during my tenure of this (my first) year riding my 2020 Rocket 3R.
I guess that in my case, it could be one of many different reasons. If it happens again I will take more notice after reading this thread.

Update- no, not it. Happened to me the other day. Afterwards I tried starting the bike with out pulling in the clutch and it wouldn't start, so the clutch switch was working. There goes that theory , although I've since seen it mentioned in other threads like here....

Stalling

I have a 3r that I bought secondhand with 6000 mile on it.My problem is I have trouble stalling bike pulling away,I seem to have to give bike a bit more revs than I would with other bikes.Clutch is very on or off,not much feel,it was service 250 mile before I bought the bike,so would have...
