Hi,
I have a bit of a bizarre issue, or at least one that so far no one has been able to help with. When riding on the open road, usually travelling above 120kph and after doing 100km without break the accelerator suddenly stops responding. Everything else is opersting fine, reving as normal but the effect is the same as if I had just let go of the accelerator and speed naturally reduces. But obviously I'm not letting go, I pull back on the throttle like crazy but no response until the bike comes to an almost complete stop, then suddenly it sorts itself out and works as normal.
This has put me in some very dangerous conditions as I need to make my way through speeding traffic to the emergency lane while my speed is rapidly reducing and without the ability to accelerate.
Some facts:
-bike is 3 months old, bought brand new
-5000km on the clock
-1000km service was done
-incident has occurred 5 times so far
-each incident on open road at a speed of 120-135kph and after riding 100 + km
- the triumph dealer here ran diagnostics and claim to the conclusion that nothing is wrong with the bike.
I really love this bike, but I'm actually becoming too afraid to take on long trips. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
I do have 2 of the incidents on camera.
