Scrambler Help - Indicators Randomly Malfunction

This may not be the answer but certainly worth looking at just in case. I have the Street Scrambler 900. There seems to be a batch of them, including mine that have this issue. Check the handle bar left side switch wiring harness. Mine follows the handle bar and then goes down and behind the headlamp. It then goes into a bracket with the clutch cable etc. Here is the problem. After only 2400 miles and when parking up the bike I will turn the handle bars left and right lock to position the bike in the garage. There is a small point where the wiring Harness gets pulled and rubbed up against a small section of the frame edge. If you get a light to see and examine carefully you may find the same thing happening as it has to mine. The rubber outer harness sleeve had been worn/cut into against the frame when turning the handle bars left and right. If not found it can cut through the Wires inside. You then get indicators and other electrics starting to fail. It may not be the same on your model but worth looking.

 

Had something similar, the left side handlebar connections get stressed and disconnect, try wiggling or better still cut off cable tie push connectors in and issue may go away it did for me.

Also do a full once over of fixings with your torque wrench, many riders have highlighted loose bolts, my right side shock bolt was out four full turns, looks like Triumph scrimped on the Loctite in some places

 

There was the same issue with the new Rocket after the latest software update. Given that they both share the same instrument panel it could be related. Worth a visit to the dealer as Im sure they will be aware of this

 

Had the same issue on my speed twin ended up trading it in for a new scrambler 1200xc they said the issue was with the cluster unit and replaced it totally did solve the issue but I was in the end to do with software and some resistors apparently

triumph uk confirmed they had had seen it before so may be the same thing (I hope not )

 

Hey buddy sorry to contact you!

I am really getting upset with triumph…

I’ve had issues with Abs, TC, check engine light and service light whilst riding..

After paying £90 for someone to tell me it’s a water ingress issue, they failed to notice the pinching of cables… near the ignition barrel.

Attached are photos and videos of the issues occurred with this lazy routing of cables by triumph

The brake cable has also started to degrade even after a service not so long ago, a service which includes the inspection of the brake cable….

I’m sadly not the only one affected by this..
