Owner report 10416028 · 2011-07-26 (July 26, 2011)
I AM THE OWNER OF A 2011 TRIUMPH SPRINT GT SPORT TOURING MOTORCYCLE, WHICH I PURCHASED NEW ON 05/21/2011. ON THAT DATE, APPROXIMATELY 85 MILES INTO MY FIRST RIDE, THE BIKE STALLED WITHOUT WARNING ON DECELERATION, WITH THE CLUTCH FULLY DISENGAGED (LEVER FULLY IN), REQUIRING A RE-START WHILE COASTING ON THE HIGHWAY. THE BIKE DID RE-START, BUT HAS CONTINUED TO RANDOMLY EXHIBIT THIS STALLING ISSUE MULTIPLE TIMES (ON EVERY SUBSEQUENT RIDE LASTING MORE THAN ABOUT AN HOUR). ON THAT FIRST RIDE AND THE RETURN RIDE HOME, THE BIKE STALLED AN ADDITIONAL 1…

AFTER PURCHASING THE NEW MOTORCYCLE AND RIDING IT HOME THE BIKE STALLED WHEN I DOWNSHIFTED 3 SEPARATE TIMES. I'VE RIDDEN THE M/C SEVERAL TIMES SINCE THEN AND IT OCCASIONALLY STALLS ON DOWNSHIFTING-AT LEAST ONCE ON EVERY RIDE. THIS HAPPENS WHETHER THE M/C IS COLD OR WARM. I CAN IMMEDIATELY RESTART IT WHILE STILL RIDING IT. THE M/C HAS BEEN BACK TO THE DEALER TWO TIMES, AND THERE IS NO CORRECTION TO THE PROBLEM. I'VE GONE TO AN OWNER'S GROUP SITE AND NOTICED OTHERS WITH THE SAME COMPLAINT. *TR

AT LOW SPEEDS THE ENGINE DIES WITHOUT WARNING. THIS CONDITION FIRST HAPPENED AS I WAS SHIFTING DOWN FROM 2ND TO 1ST GEAR. WHEN THE ENGINE DIES, THE REAR WHEEL LOCKS. THIS HAS CONTINUED TO HAPPEN SINCE I'VE OWNED THIS MACHINE. IT HAS ALSO DIED WHEN TRYING TO ACCELERATE FROM LOW SPEEDS. WHEN YOU'RE ATTEMPTING A TIGHT, LOW SPEED TURN ON A MOTORCYCLE YOU COUNT ON ACCELERATION TO COMPLETE THE TURN. WHEN INSTEAD THE REAR WHEEL LOCKS, YOU TEND TO FALL. THE ENGINE HAS DIED ON THREE SEPARATE OCCASIONS WHEN ACCELERATING FROM LOW SPEED-APPROXIMATE…
