Owner report 11367042 · 2020-10-29 (October 29, 2020)
2019 TRIUMPH SPEED TWIN WITH BREMBO FRONT BRAKES. FRONT BRAKE LEVER FEELS MUSHY ON FIRST PULL, IT'S SOFT ENOUGH TO PULL ALL THE WAY BACK TO THE BAR. IF RELEASED AND PULLED AGAIN IMMEDIATELY, THE LEVER FEELS NORMAL/MUCH FIRMER. THIS "DOUBLE PULL" ISSUE RECURS WHENEVER THE BRAKES ARE NOT USED FOR MORE THAN A MINUTE OR SO. ISSUE OCCURS BOTH WHEN THE BIKE IS STATIONARY AND IN MOTION. ISSUE HAS BEEN OCCURRING SINCE THE BIKE WAS NEW. BRAKES WERE BLED TWICE BY THE SELLING DEALER, BUT THE ISSUE PERSISTS.

Owner report 11488377 · 2022-10-07 (October 7, 2022)
The front brakes lost compression so much that the breaks wouldn't engage until the lever was pulled all the way back to the grip. Took to the shop they said there was air in the line. Front brakes were flushed and fresh brake fluid was added. Brakes felt fine once I got it out of the shop but then lost compression again a few weeks later.

Center hub area that the rear axle is located is not true round and causes a vibration at highway speeds. This is apparently a on going issue I've had the same problem on a 2021Triumph Tiger 900 GT that wheel was replaced under warranty. Now my 2024 Triumph Bonneville Speed Twin has the same issue being out of round. Triumph claim's the wheel is on backorder because the ones in the Georgia warehouse has the same issue. Why are they continue to sale bikes with bad wheels that can cause uneven tire wear … |

Emerging complaint spikes
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.
2020: 0 complaints · 2023: 1 complaints
| Model year | Through age 0 | Through age 1 | Through age 2 |
