Speed Triple Rs Fault And Customer Service

I’ve just ordered a new Speedmaster from Newcastle Triumph

 

Well it’s ordered now
I’m good at making a scene in a shop if I have to
Should be ok for me though cos I’m not from boro

Sorry Jon I’m only kidding
I love you really

 

You’ll have to let us know what the outcome is mate
Hope it all works out for you

 

Sorry to hear you're having problems with your RS and dealer
Jeez, am I the only Speed RS owner on here that 's not had an issue?
Between us, 'er indoors and I have had 6 Triumphs, a '97 T595, a 2001 955i Speedy, a 2002 955 Daytona, a '07 Street 675, a 2011 Speed 1050 and now the RS. All but one purchased new, even the "pre-loved" one had only 600 miles up
The 595 had a EFI return pipe disconnect while in France when 6 or so weeks old, the 955 'tona was subject to a recall. Other than that all have been solid buys and owned for a minimum of 5 years and the 3 supplying dealers have all been great

Could be that they’re being totally honest
The bike is showing a fault code that nobody recognises
That’s what they’re saying to you and it would be of no benefit to anyone to pretend otherwise
A less than honest dealer might of cleared faults and gave you the bike back hoping it wouldn’t show again

 

The thing with fault codes is they are generic ! By this I mean they are agreed upon or enforced so all manufacturer's have the same fault codes in their equipment (ECU's) even if the machinery attached doesn't have that equipment fitted !! So a faulty diesel engine will give *"xyz "* as a fault code and so can a petrol motor ! But the most likely cause for an extraneous fault code is an electrical gremlin causing a false read for the " ecu" which now reports a fault which cannot occur in that type of vehicle as it's not likely to have say a "urea" injection system like diesel exhaust systems now have ? I have seen really weird codes on heavy vehicles ! Such as number 8 cylinder firing late and it's a "6" cylinder engine !!

 

It can happen though mate
I’m a plant fitter by trade and we quite often get unrecognised fualts showing on machines
Even after getting in touch with manufacturers and they don’t know what the fault is
Sometimes these things take time to get to the solution and I understand your frustration

 

I know how your feeling as I had a Street Scrambler with cold starting problems and even emailed Nick Bloor to no avail with no compensation for it going in 5 times and even back to the factory, so I know it leaves a bad taste in your mouth. I swapped it for a 765s speed triple lets hope that doesn't go west.

 

had a load of issues with my new Ducati Multistrada thats only eight months old now, sick of it at this stage so trading it in now, i've just ordered a new Speed Triple RS, hope this doesn't give me the same kind of problems as i couldn't cope with another bad one, its from the same dealer as well and they are not the best anyway but they are the only triumph dealer in Ireland.

 

I've had my 1050RS since April and have 1800 miles on it. I know two people, both on this forum who have problems with their RS, one a flickering TFT screen and the second, a two time failed rear brake light switch, which is a problem as it effects mode selection and cruise control.
Personally, I've had no problems, though it did take me a little while to get used to the shift assist. Got to say that I love the bike. Having used it for a little commuting, quite a few weekend rides out with friends and one weekend away. I'd have no concerns over riding it for longer distances, South of France for example.

This is the same as me. I had a Multistrada and it needed a full engine rebuild before 10k miles. That was the major fault but also numerous smaller ones.

I got shot at a loss to me and traded ‘down’ to a 14 plate Speed Triple S. Never had a problem in the couple of years I had it. I’ve just bought the RS and now at 1200 miles, no problems yet! The finish seems just as good but I suppose only time will tell.
