The vehicle systems named most often in Triumph Speed Twin complaints (one complaint can name several).
In the owners’ own words, as filed with NHTSA. Unverified reports; NHTSA removes personal details before publishing.
Front suspension has a clunk/clicking noise that is getting worse with time/usage. At first the noise was there but not noticeable enough to cause concern. Over time the noise has gotten worse and stability of the motorcycle has deteriorated significantly to the point that it feels unsafe to ride it over bumps, specially when leaning. Triumph claims there is no safety issue but i doubt they done their due diligence to get to root cause.
The contact owns a 2025 Triumph Speed Twin 900. The contact researched online and became aware of NHTSA Campaign Number: 25V141000 (Exterior Lighting). The recall was for motorcycles with red rear signal lights and not amber lights. Additionally, the lights were too close to the rear brake light. The contact performed a VIN check; however, the VIN was not included in the recall. The contact had called the manufacturer and was advised that the VIN was not included. The contact believed that the VIN should be included in the recall. The contact had not experienced a failure.
Rear wheel not centered from manufacturer. Center hub area that the rear axle is located is not true round and causes a vibration at highway speeds. This is apparently a on going issue I've had the same problem on a 2021Triumph Tiger 900 GT that wheel was replaced under warranty. Now my 2024 Triumph Bonneville Speed Twin has the same issue being out of round. Triumph claim's the wheel is on backorder because the ones in the Georgia warehouse has the same issue. Why are they continue to sale bikes with bad wheels that can cause uneven tire wear that can cause over heating tire and premature tire failure and lost control of vehicle.
The front brakes lost compression so much that the breaks wouldn't engage until the lever was pulled all the way back to the grip. Took to the shop they said there was air in the line. Front brakes were flushed and fresh brake fluid was added. Brakes felt fine once I got it out of the shop but then lost compression again a few weeks later.
2019 TRIUMPH SPEED TWIN WITH BREMBO FRONT BRAKES. FRONT BRAKE LEVER FEELS MUSHY ON FIRST PULL, IT'S SOFT ENOUGH TO PULL ALL THE WAY BACK TO THE BAR. IF RELEASED AND PULLED AGAIN IMMEDIATELY, THE LEVER FEELS NORMAL/MUCH FIRMER. THIS "DOUBLE PULL" ISSUE RECURS WHENEVER THE BRAKES ARE NOT USED FOR MORE THAN A MINUTE OR SO. ISSUE OCCURS BOTH WHEN THE BIKE IS STATIONARY AND IN MOTION. ISSUE HAS BEEN OCCURRING SINCE THE BIKE WAS NEW. BRAKES WERE BLED TWICE BY THE SELLING DEALER, BUT THE ISSUE PERSISTS.

No. A complaint is an unverified report from an owner. A technical service bulletin (TSB) is the manufacturer telling dealers how to fix a known issue; it is not a safety recall and is usually covered only under warranty. A recall is a formal safety action, and its repair is free.
File a vehicle safety complaint at NHTSA.gov. NHTSA reads every report, and patterns of complaints are what open defect investigations and, eventually, recalls.
