What owners report
I HAVE OWNED A 2005 TRIUMPH SPEED TRIPLE MOTORCYCLE FOR SEVERAL MONTHS NOW. THE FRONT BRAKES HAVE A DANGEROUS PROBLEM WHICH CLEARLY IS "A PROBLEM." OVER FAIRLY SHORT PERIOD OF TIME THE BRAKES BECOME PROGRESSIVELY MUSHY. THIS IS NOT NORMAL BY ANY MEANS IN THIS TIME PERIOD. THE BRAKES DO NOT CONSISTENTLY STOP AT THE SAME POINT WHEN PULLING IN THE LEVER AND CONTINUE TO GET WORSE UNTIL A TEMP FIX IS DONE AND THE PROCESS STARTS OVER. CURRENTLY TRIUMPH IS DECLINING TO EVEN DO THE TEMP FIX FOR ME WHILE MANY OTHERS HAVE HAD IT DONE! TRIUMPH CALLS THIS "PROGRESSIVE FEEL." THIS IS NOT A FEATURE. IT IS A PROBLEM. I HAVE EXPERIENCED THE INCONSISTENCY IN NEAR CRASHES WHEN I HAD TO PULL THE LEVER
BRAKE LEVER TRAVEL IS INCONSISTENT. THIS ALLOWS FOR THE LEVER TO HIT THE HANDLE BAR THUS PREVENTING THE BRAKE FROM WORKING PROPERLY. *NM
TOO MUCH BRAKE LEVER TRAVEL , ASSOCIATED WITH A DECREASE IN BRAKE RESPONSIVENESS OR 'BITE". DEALER HAS BLED THE BRAKES OF AIR , RESPOND THAT IT IS A KNOWN ISSUE WITH NO FIX , PROBLEM RETURNED SHORTLY AFTER BEING SERVICED. *NM
BRAKES HAVE EXCESSIVE TRAVEL IN THE LEVER FOR THE FRONT BRAKE. BRAKING WORKS BUT THE REACTION SLOWS OVER TIME. *NM
THE FRONT BRAKES ARE CHRONICALLY MUSHY. THEY DO STOP THE BIKE, BUT THE LEVER TRAVEL IS EXCESSIVE. THEY HAVE CORRECTED THE ISSUE ON NEWER BIKES WITH DIFFERENT HARDWARE BUT WILL DO NOTHING MORE THAN LABOR SERVICE ON MY 2005 BIKE THAT IS STILL UNDER WARRANTY. *JB
