Complaint evidence
Examples provide context, not a representative sample or a verified diagnosis.
The contact owns a 2024 Triumph Scrambler 400 X. The contact stated that while riding approximately 40 MPH, the motorcycle stalled. The contact stated no warning light was illuminated. The contact stated that the failure occurred three times. The motorcycle was taken to the dealer. The dealer had not yet completed the diagnostic test. The motorcycle was not repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 1,000.
On multiple occasions while slowing down, or coming off the line, with the clutch fully disengaged, the motorcycle has stalled. The RPMs drop to zero and it cuts out. Usually you can hear the engine sputter a bit before it cuts. I've tried adjusting the clutch free play and it's made no difference.

On multiple occasions while slowing down, or coming off the line, with the clutch fully disengaged, the motorcycle has stalled. The RPMs drop to zero and it cuts out. Usually you can hear the engine sputter a bit before it cuts. I've tried adjusting the clutch free play and it's made no difference.
The motorcycle stops randomly, in motion, when downshifting and with the clutch depressed. The official Triumph Service Center has been visited without success in the repair. The software update did not fix the problem.
Immobilizer warning light stays lit while riding. Bike sometimes takes 2-3 cycle to restart when warm. Occasionally bike has immediately cut off when downshifting for a complete stop from 2nd gear with clutch lever pulled in.
I purchased this vehicle 2024 and had the check engine light come on the day after I purchased it. The vehicle shuts off while driving. It has been to the dealer several times for programing, and a few days later light back on again. I recently brought it in and has been there for three weeks. They called and basically check a lot of thigs but can't say it is repaired. To me this is unbelievable. When I bought it in this time it stalled twice the same day. I was turning into a street and shut it shut off while downshifting for the turn. As I wa…
Complete months in the latest six months with at least 10 complaints, at least twice the preceding 12-month average, and at least three square-root deviations above that average.
This is a descriptive screening rule, not a statistical defect finding. Publicity and reporting changes can increase submissions.
No complete months meet the spike thresholds for this selection.
Equal-age model-year comparison
Model-wide cumulative reports during the first three or five calendar years, starting with the model year (age 0). Only fully elapsed windows are compared.
No selected model years have a complete observation window. Choose an eligible year or a shorter window.
Incident date is preferred when valid and no later than filing; otherwise filing date is used. Model year approximates age. Equal observation time does not adjust for sales, distance driven or reporting delays. One complaint linked to multiple model years can appear in each cohort.
