Example complaints

Brakes: “The front brakes on my 2017 Triumph Thruxton r have developed a need to pull twice in order to get a bite. The first pull on the lever comes back very easy with little stopping power. The second pull engages and stopping power is restored. This seems dangerous when a panic situation occurs. This issue was first noticed 2 years ago and I have had the brakes bled twice, had the calipers and pistons cleaned and some relief was noticed for a short time then the issue returned. …”

NHTSA complaint #11568303, filed 2024-01

Engine: “The motorcycle stall when downshifting from 2nd to 1st gear, also from 3rd to 2nd gear. Will stall when sitting at a stoplight and you give a little throttle you hear and clank sound and it stalls. Will stall when going around curves and at intersections. Have taken it into dealer multiple times and they can not find the issue. There are many people that have the same problem on facebook. I have a video of it stalling in the middle of an intersection with oncoming traffic. Could have been killed. I can email you the video, your website will not accept videos. …”

NHTSA complaint #11002600, filed 2017-07, 80 miles

Vehicle speed control: “This vehicle has a dangerous flaw while downshifting and holding in the clutch lever. The engine will stall ! It is dangerous because I am relying on the engine braking to help slow down the motorcycle in a turn. Because the engine stalls the speed of the motorcycle increases. It is a worldwide problem BUT I do not see a recall listed in the NHTSA's website. Please have this matter resolved before someone is hurt.”
