Owner report 745875 · 2001-05-25 (May 25, 2001)
THIS COMPLAINT CONCERNS THE SAGEM FUEL INJECTION SYSTEM ON THE TRIUMPH TT600 MOTORCYCLE. THE ENGINE HAS STALLED ON ME ON FOUR OR FIVE OCCASIONS WHEN BRAKING FROM 30 OR SO MILES PER HOUR, WHEN I HAVE DISENGAGED THE CLUTCH. IN ADDITION THE ENGINE HAS STALLED ON ME ONCE WHILE SITTING AT LIGHTS IN NEUTRAL. IN ADDITION THE FUEL INJECTION AT 2,500 TO 3,500 RPM IS VERY JERKY - IF YOU HOLD A CONSTANT THROTTLE AT THESE RPMS IN THE 1ST OR 2ND GEARS MOTORCYCLE LURCHES BADLY ENOUGH TO MAKE IT UNSAFE TO RIDE AT THAT RPM. THE COMBINATION OF LURCHING AT LOW…

THE BIKE KEEPS STALLING AT "OFF IDLE" EVEN WHILE MOVING OR COASTING. IF THIS WERE TO HAPPEN IN A TURN, IT COULD LEAD TO A CRASH DUE TO SUSPENSION INSTABILITY. TRIUMPH IS AWARE OF THE PROBLEM AND HAS DONE NOTHING TO CORRECT THE SITUATION.

FROM THE START, MY 2000 TRIUMPH TT600 HAS PERFORMED POORLY WHEN THE RPMS ARE BELOW 5K. THIS IS KNOWN DEFECT BY THE MANUFACTURER. THEY CORRECTED IT FOR 2001 MODELS. NO SUCH INITIATIVES HAVE BEEN TAKEN WITH THE 2000. THIS EFI PROBLEM HAS LEFT MANY TT600'S IN A DANGER SITUATION. THERE IS A TERRIBLE CHOPPINESS IN THE LOW RPM BAND , WHICH CAUSES THE BIKE TO BE VERY DIFFICULT TO CONTROL IN SLOW MOVING TRAFFIC. THE BIKE IS VERY HARD TO ACCELERATE WITH THE PACE OF TRAFFIC FROM A STOP. THIS PROVIDES THE PERFECT ENVIRONMENT FOR ME TO REAR END A CAR OR TO…
