Triumph Daytona 675 problems & complaints

CATASTROPHIC ENGINE FAILURE WHILE DECELERATING FROM APPROXIMATELY 40 MPH AT 8,000 RPM UNDER OTHERWISE NORMAL RIDING CONDITIONS. ENGINE STALLED AND WOULDN'T RESTART. UPON EXAMINATION IT WAS FOUND THAT CYLINDER 2 SUFFERED A BROKEN VALVE, DAMAGING THE PISTON, REMAINING VALVES, AND CYLINDER HEAD. HAD THE ENGINE SEIZED, OR HAD THIS HAPPENED MID-CORNER, THIS CERTAINLY WOULD HAVE RESULTED IN A CRASH. ODOMETER WAS AT APPROXIMATELY 10,500 MILES. FAILURE OCCURRED ON A DIVIDED ROADWAY HELMET-CAM VIDEO IS AVAILABLE.

TRANSMISSION STOPS WORKING SPORADICALLY. FIRST TIME IT HAPPENED WAS IN JANUARY 2017, THE GEARBOX STOPPED CHANGING GEARS UP OR DOWN WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY. WENT TO DEALER AND GOT IT FIXED. LATER IN THE SAME YEAR IN OCTOBER 2017 THE GEARBOX STOPPED WORKING ON DOWNSHIFTS, HAD TO DRIVE HOME ALL THE WAY IN 5TH GEAR. DEALER HAS REFUSED TO FIX THE ISSUE. IT IS A KNOW ISSUE AMONG TRIUMPH DAYTONA OWNERS THAT THE TRANSMISSION AND GEARBOX IS VERY FRAGILE AND CAN GIVE OUT ANY TIME. SUDDEN MALFUNCTIONING OF THE TRANSMISSION CAN CAUSE CONFUSION AND FRUSTRATION WHEN DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY CAN CAUSE A DANGEROUS SITUATION. THIS KIND OF CONTINUOUS MALFUNCTIONING SHOULD NOT BE ACCEPTABLE.

I WAS DRIVING HOME AND MY ABS LIGHT CAME ON, I LOOKED UP AND MY HEADLIGHT STARTED TO FLASH AND THEN MY TACHOMETER AND SPEEDOMETER FROZE IN PLACE AND DIMMED SIGNIFICANTLY. I KEPT DRIVING SINCE I WAS ON THE HIGHWAY AT NIGHT. ABOUT 5 SECONDS LATER EVERYTHING WENT BACK TO NORMAL THEN ABOUT 15 MINUTES DOWN THE ROAD MY ENTIRE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM TURNED OFF AND BACK ON ABOUT 3 TIMES. AT THIS POINT MY HEAD LIGHTS AND DASHBOARD WERE COMPLETELY TURNING OFF AND ON. WHEN I CAME TO A CONSTRUCTION ZONE AND MY BIKE WAS IN IDLE IT DIED AND WOULD NOT TURN BACK ON. EVERY TIME I TRIED TO TURN IT ON IT WOULD MAKE A LOUD CLICK AND THEN SHUT EVERYTHING OFF. I LOOKED ONLINE AND A LOT OF PEOPLE ARE HAVING THIS PROBLE…

ABS LIGHT BLINKS. ENGINE REPLACED AFTER 6,000 MILES. DEALER WAS ACTUALLY TRYING TO PLACE BLAME ON ME. MY BIKE WAS BROKE DOWN DRAGGED AROUND ON A GREY CART JUST THROWN ON THE BOTTOM. NOW HAVE PROBLEMS WITH ENGINE OIL LEAKS. THE GASKETS WERE NOT INSTALLED CORRECTLY. OIL HAS BLACK SUTT IN OIL. MY LED LIGHTS THAT THE DEALER CUT JUST CUT AND LEFT THERE. MY BRAKE FLUIDS AND RESERVE ANTIFREEZE ALL AT LOW LEVELS. THE REAR TIRE BOLTS LOOSE. MY BATTERY LOOSE BIKE ACTUALLY WOULDN'T EVEN START ON DAY HAD NO IDEA WHAT WAS WRONG. WHEN THE ENGINE WAS REPLACED THE ENGINE LIGHTS CAME RIGHT BACK ON AND THE ABS. I TOOK BIKE TO ANOTHER BIKE SHOP THEY CLEARLY SAW SLOPPY WORK OIL LEAKS. I'M GOING TO FILE A PETIT…

RECALL NO: 15V-255 MY TRIUMPH MOTORCYCLE HAD A VERY GENTLE SLIDE AS I WAS MAKING A TURN. THERE WAS NO TRAFFIC WEATHER CONDITIONS DRY NIGHT NO HURRY. AS I PICKED THE BIKE UP OFF THE GROUND I COULDN'T BELIEVE WHAT HAPPENED. I WAS TRYING TO FIND MY MISTAKE BUT I MADE NO ERRORS. I'VE BEEN RIDING FOR ABOUT 20 YEARS NEVER SEEN THIS HAPPEN. I CALL MY INSURANCE COMPANY TO FILE A CLAIM BUT IT DIDN'T SEEM TO BAD. I CALLED DEALER THEY CAME OUT TO HOUSE AND PICKED UP AND TOOK IN FOR REPAIRS. I FELT LIKE IS WAS MY FAULT SO I SHOULD JUST PAY FOR IT. SO I DID. 6 MONTHS LATER I RECEIVE A LETTER SAYING THAT THERE WAS A RECALL ON THE BIKE SUSPENSION AND TO TAKE IT IN FOR REPAIRS. THE DEALER RECEIVED A NOTICE…
