You plan on doing a lot of breaking down then Carl ?I'm
Issues With New 900GT Pro????

Here’s something I consider a big improvement for the 850 S . It’s just a piece of 1/2 inch plastic packaging foam cut to fit , keeps the intake noise way down for cruising but allows plenty under acceleration to remind you it’s got pistons . Acts as a roof for the battery and some wires under there . The 900 models don’t need it , they have their toolkit tray in the same position.

RAC being the Royal Auto Club I assume . We have CAA here in the Big Colony
, for our Cars of course but they did cover the tow bill for the flat on the Thruxton a couple of years ago . AAA probably does the same in the Rebel States .
Sounds very much like the stepper motor issue which the 2011tigers experienced
AAA in the States will cover motorcycles at an additional charge.
Yup same here. Used my CAA when had a front flat on the T'bird years ago. I have the RV plus package as if my truck quits, need something to tow the trailer as well. Includes the bike.

Yes, Royal Automobile Club. One of their membership options is not to cover the vehicle but to cover the person. Insofar, irrespective of what vehicle you ar travelling in, or who owns it and whether you are the driver or not if that vehicle breaks down you are covered for onward transport to your destination or recovery back home.
We also have the Automobile Association in the UK plus a whole host of lesser organisations providing breakdown and/or recovery services.

I don't use AAA. My motorcycle insurance has a recovery and towing provision to it and if I have to use a motorcycle tow; that's what I use.
Hi DJ
I too have a 23 GTPRO and after the battery going flat I charged it up - got all the dash lights and I can hear the fuel pump engaged but the starter will not engage. My bike has less than 400 miles on it. I noticed that several people have reported 'reprogramming' a key but my key is (I am pretty sure) not a smart key. The only thing that I have in common with some others that have reported similar issues is that I have an aftermarket plug-in USB port in the front charger but that hadnt previously been a problem.
I am interested to see how well my dealer supports this problem.
So, back on my super reliable Royal Enfield this morning to commute to work on a rare nice day in Nottinghamshire ... all the best

Was the aftermarket USB port unplugged from the charger? I’d try unplugging it and disconnecting the battery, wait a bit and then re-hook up the battery and see what the system does. If it starts up then reattach the USB. Just a tought if you haven’t tried it.
If I remember correctly , a skill that is decreasing rapidly at my age , the battery might last 2 or three days before it’s unable to start the bike if you’ve been using the front , steering head , din , Port . This could vary of course depending on how well the battery is topped up after your last ride and the draw loss of whatever accessory your using .
The left side acc outlet is ignition key switchable so when the key is removed or off there is no leakage . Alot of us have been through this before , it’s all in another thread some where , bottom line is the front Din plug is useless .

Hi Sikatri
First of all - thanks for the response. The USB outlet device was simply plugged in to the outlet at the front. It was not powering anything or connected to anything (other than being plugged into the socket) - its also not something 'new' as in I have started the bike perfectly normally before. I am an engineer and cannot understand why the presence of the device would have any effect. I will remove and try several things and report back. I have contacted my dealer but not had a reply. I am beginning to sniff a tinge of regret about my purchase ... hope its unfounded.

So it turned out the fix wasn't as simple as I had hoped. After getting bike back, took for a ride from Upstate NY to RI and about an hour out, stopped for gas, went to start back up with same issue. This time it finally started but the screen was all jacked up. Colors were mixed but I could still see speed and other data so completed ride to RI. Turned bike off, removed key and dash was still lit up. Went to dinner leaving bike at house and hot back, still glowing in the night. Disconnect battery to shut off screen. Reconnect and all good. Took to dealer in CT since none in RI. Triumph USA had to get involved to figure out issue. Had to replace computer screen. At same time I decided to not use front USB port unless bike is running. No longer have that issue but now it has been back in CT shop 2 weeks ago for TES error light. Called dealer yesterday and Triumph USA is sending new rear shock but no idea what eta is so needless to say, my faith in the new Triumph electronics is nill. I have always heard about the poor electronics way back in the day when they used Lucas but I think they have gone back to another crap supplier. Have always been a huge fan of all my triumphs but this will more than likely be the last one I own.
UGH
Well, that sucks. Sorry for your bad luck.
Hope they get it sorted right for you.

I hate these electronics. Just more to go wrong and difficult to repair. KISS formula needs to come back. These. kinds of problems are definitely not limited to Triumph. I read about them in HD, BMW, Ducati, Honda, and Yamaha.
Not sure what the actual failure rate is on these electrical systems but the 850 is good so far without
those extras . Do notice however that on the screen that I like using , just a single wing tach , there is no heat gauge . As Carl points out others are having issues also . Euro bikes are no doubt all using Bosch .
Heading to the Cabot Trail tomorrow for a couple of nites and a day of gravel roads and such .
All the best with the gremlins …
