Fuel/Propulsion System · at 6,000 miles · reported Jan 3, 2013
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.
Service Brakes, Hydraulic · at 1,000 miles · reported Oct 1, 2006
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.
