Electrical system: starter assembly

What is wrong
On some motorcycles, under certain assembly conditions, the electrical power supply cable to the starter motor may come into direct contact with the oil cooler return pipe. This could cause the insulation on the starter cable to degrade.
Risk
Should the starter motor cable insulation become worn, a 12-volt electrical short would occur, increasing the risk of a fire or not allowing the motorcycle to start.
Remedy
Dealers will examine the cable for signs of contact with the oil cooler pipe. The cable will be re-positioned. The recall began november 20, 2004. Owners should contact triumph at 1‑678‑854‑2010.
