Power Train · at 2,500 miles · reported Aug 6, 2001

Going about 70 MPH around a turn when the transmission froze, locking the back tire and almost killing me. ***dimsii ivoq entry posted after 12/12/02 cut-over to artemis****749978

Fuel System, Gasoline · reported May 25, 2001

This complaint concerns the sagem fuel injection system on the triumph tt600 motorcycle. The engine has stalled on me on four or five occasions when braking from 30 or so miles per hour, when I have disengaged the clutch. In addition the engine has stalled on me once while sitting at lights in neutral. In addition the fuel injection at 2,500 to 3,500 RPM is very jerky - if you hold a constant throttle at these rpms in the 1st or 2nd gears motorcycle lurches badly enough to make it unsafe to ride at that RPM. The combination of lurching at low RPM in low gears, and occasional stalling is, in my…

Suspension · reported May 25, 2001

The bike keeps stalling at "off idle" even while moving or coasting. If this were to happen in a turn, it could lead to a crash due to suspension instability. Triumph is aware of the problem and has done nothing to correct the situation.

Fuel System, Gasoline · reported May 25, 2001

From the start, my 2000 triumph tt600 has performed poorly when the rpms are below 5k. This is known defect by the manufacturer. They corrected it for 2001 models. No such initiatives have been taken with the 2000. This efi problem has left many tt600's in a danger situation. There is a terrible choppiness in the low RPM band , which causes the bike to be very difficult to control in slow moving traffic. The bike is very hard to accelerate with the pace of traffic from a stop. This provides the perfect environment for me to rear end a car or to be rear ended by a motorist who may assume I will…

Fuel System, Gasoline · reported May 25, 2001

The fuel injection system fails constantly. With the bike dying around turns. Yet triumph still takes no responsibility. Please help me because the next time such a thing occurs it could be harmful.
