2012 TRIUMPH TIGER 800. CONSUMER WRITES IN REGARDS TO TRANSMISSIONS GEAR CHANGE MECHANISM. *LD THE CONSUMER STATED THE GEAR SHIFT MOVED FREELY BETWEEN THE DOWNSHIFT AND UPSHIFT POSITIONS. *JS
NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 13V104000 ("DUE TO A MANUFACTURING ERROR, THE TURN SIGNAL STEMS ON THE FRONT AND REAR OF THE MOTORCYCLE MAY FRACTURE. ") IS ALREADY IN EFFECT FOR SOME TRIUMPH MOTORCYCLES, INCLUDING MY MAKE/MODEL/YEAR. THE VIN ON MY TRIUMPH DOES NOT FALL INTO THIS RECALL FOR SOME REASON, BUT I'VE ALREADY EXPERIENCED BOTH FRONT TURN SIGNALS FAILING IN THE EXACT SAME WAY THIS RECALL DESCRIBES. THE FIRST TIME IT HAPPENED TO MY FRONT RIGHT SIGNAL IN JUNE 2015. I NOTICED MY FRONT LEFT SIGNAL BROKEN TODAY, OCTOBER 12, 2017.
VEHICLE IS A 2012 TRIUMPH TIGER 800 MOTORCYCLE WITH 980 MILES. BIKE RAN FLAWLESSLY UNTIL TODAY WHEN IT DEVELOPED A RANDOM ENGINE STALLING PROBLEM THAT OCCURS AS THE THROTTLE IS INITIALLY APPLIED, REGARDLESS OF CLUTCH ACTION OR POSITION. THIS USUALLY HAPPENS WHEN STOPPED AS AT A TRAFFIC LIGHT OR STOP SIGN AND CAN CAUSE A SAFETY ISSUE WHEN MOTORISTS AREN'T EXPECTING THE BIKE TO BLOCK THE INTERSECTION. THIS IS A CLASS PROBLEM WITH THIS PARTICULAR MOTORCYCLE. I AM A MEMBER OF A TIGER 800 FORUM AND THIS ISSUE AFFECTS ABOUT 30% OF THE OWNERS THERE AND THE NUMBER OF CASES KEEPS GROWING. I BELIEVE IT WILL AFFECT VIRTUALLY EVERY TIGER 800 IN TIME. MY OPINION AS A FAIRLY EXPERIENCED MECHANIC
