Most recent owner complaints, unedited.

Filed Jan 3, 2013 · Fuel system · 6,000 miles · OH

The plastic fuel tank on my bike is swelling visibly. On line others on the triumph forum are also complaining of this. Probably due to ethanol in the fuel. I am concerned the tank will swell until rupture and them possibly a fire.

Filed Oct 1, 2006 · Brakes · 1,000 miles · VT

Front brakes are losing effectiveness after two months of normal use. Front brake lever travel has increased to the point that I am unable to generate enough braking force in an emergency stop situation. Problem is persistent and ongoing.
