1. What component or system failed or malfunctioned, and is it available for inspection upon request? Component that failed was pivot plate, Triumph part T1194900. I have the defective part. 2. How was your safety or the safety of others put at risk? Failure of this component due to poor design led to intermittent issues upshifting during operation. Downshifting unaffected. This created an unsafe operation condition due to distractions, inability to accelerate, properly manage engine speed and RPM. 3.

Fuel/Propulsion System · at 21,000 miles · reported Mar 4, 2015

Stalling occurs when disengaging the clutch while downshifting, as fuel management system does not maintain proper, minimum idle. No power available when re-engaging the clutch. This is an extremely dangerous condition on a motorcycle, as unintended engine breaking while entering into a curve can occur, leading to a crash if the clutch is not immediately disengaged by the rider. Frequent stalling of this nature while in traffic is also a significant hazard.
