AT LOW SPEEDS THE ENGINE DIES WITHOUT WARNING. THIS CONDITION FIRST HAPPENED AS I WAS SHIFTING DOWN FROM 2ND TO 1ST GEAR. WHEN THE ENGINE DIES, THE REAR WHEEL LOCKS. THIS HAS CONTINUED TO HAPPEN SINCE I'VE OWNED THIS MACHINE. IT HAS ALSO DIED WHEN TRYING TO ACCELERATE FROM LOW SPEEDS. WHEN YOU'RE ATTEMPTING A TIGHT, LOW SPEED TURN ON A MOTORCYCLE YOU COUNT ON ACCELERATION TO COMPLETE THE TURN. WHEN INSTEAD THE REAR WHEEL LOCKS, YOU TEND TO FALL. THE ENGINE HAS DIED ON THREE SEPARATE OCCASIONS WHEN ACCELERATING FROM LOW SPEED-APPROXIMATELY 1500 TO 1700 RPM. THE ENGINE HAS ALSO DIED AFTER SHIFTING TO NEUTRAL, AGAIN AT LOW RPM. FINALLY, MOST RIDERS WHEN SHIFTING DOWN TO A LOWER GEAR "BLIP" THE…

THE ENGINE DIES WITHOUT WARNING, LOCKING THE REAR WHEEL AND POTENTIALLY CAUSING A CRASH. THIS HAS BEEN HAPPENING TO ME SINCE I BOUGHT THE BIKE NEW IN MARCH 2011, FOR A TOTAL OF PERHAPS 8 INCIDENTS. IT HAS HAPPENED WITH THE ENGINE BOTH COLD AND FULLY WARMED. EACH INCIDENT HAPPENED AT LOW SPEED, IN A LOWER GEAR, MOST OFTEN IMMEDIATELY AFTER A DOWN-SHIFT. IN THE LATEST INCIDENT, THE BIKE WAS IN NEUTRAL AND ROLLING FORWARD TOWARDS STOPPED TRAFFIC. IF IT HAPPENS WHEN AT LOW SPEED, IN GEAR AND IN A TURN, THE LOCKED REAR WHEEL TRIES TO THROW THE BIKE TO THE GROUND ON ITS SIDE, WHICH IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS IN TRAFFIC. SO FAR, THE DEALER HAS NOT BEEN ABLE TO IDENTIFY THE PROBLEM.

AFTER PURCHASING THE NEW MOTORCYCLE AND RIDING IT HOME THE BIKE STALLED WHEN I DOWNSHIFTED 3 SEPARATE TIMES. I'VE RIDDEN THE M/C SEVERAL TIMES SINCE THEN AND IT OCCASIONALLY STALLS ON DOWNSHIFTING-AT LEAST ONCE ON EVERY RIDE. THIS HAPPENS WHETHER THE M/C IS COLD OR WARM. I CAN IMMEDIATELY RESTART IT WHILE STILL RIDING IT. THE M/C HAS BEEN BACK TO THE DEALER TWO TIMES, AND THERE IS NO CORRECTION TO THE PROBLEM. I'VE GONE TO AN OWNER'S GROUP SITE AND NOTICED OTHERS WITH THE SAME COMPLAINT. *TR

I AM THE OWNER OF A 2011 TRIUMPH SPRINT GT SPORT TOURING MOTORCYCLE, WHICH I PURCHASED NEW ON 05/21/2011. ON THAT DATE, APPROXIMATELY 85 MILES INTO MY FIRST RIDE, THE BIKE STALLED WITHOUT WARNING ON DECELERATION, WITH THE CLUTCH FULLY DISENGAGED (LEVER FULLY IN), REQUIRING A RE-START WHILE COASTING ON THE HIGHWAY. THE BIKE DID RE-START, BUT HAS CONTINUED TO RANDOMLY EXHIBIT THIS STALLING ISSUE MULTIPLE TIMES (ON EVERY SUBSEQUENT RIDE LASTING MORE THAN ABOUT AN HOUR). ON THAT FIRST RIDE AND THE RETURN RIDE HOME, THE BIKE STALLED AN ADDITIONAL 18 - 20 TIMES IN EXACTLY THIS MANNER: ALWAYS ON DECELERATION, AND WITH NO "LUGGING" OF THE ENGINE (I.E., OPERATING AT TOO-LOW RPM) INVOLVED. I HAVE…
