Owner report 11373490 · 2020-11-06 (November 6, 2020)
THE BRAKE SYSTEM ON THIS MOTORCYCLE IS BREMBO MASTER AND CALIPERS AND ALWAYS REQUIRES A PUMP OF THE LEVER TO PROVIDE PRESSURE. THIS SEEMS IMMUNE TO BLEEDING AS IT IS A KNOWN ISSUE WITH THE CALIPER PISTONS. TRIUMPH IS AWARE OF THE PROBLEM BUT HAS NO REMEDY FOR THE ISSUE OTHER THAN CONTINUING TO BLEED THE SYSTEM IN AN ATTEMPT TO FIX THE ISSUE TO NO AVAIL. THIS IS CONCERNING AS EMERGENCY BRAKING REQUIRES A FIRM LEVER ON THE FIRST PULL WHICH IS NOT POSSIBLE CURRENTLY.

Owner report 11598081 · 2024-07-01 (July 1, 2024)
While shifting from 2nd into 1st gear prior to entering a turn, the gear selector lifter shaft snapped off, resulting in the bike getting stuck in neutral. This is an extremely dangerous situation for a motorcyclist and I have never heard of this situation in my 20+ years of riding. I was very lucky this happened while only traveling ~15 mph.
