May 18, 2001Fuel system, gasoline › Fuel injection system 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 KEEP PACE WITH TRAFFIC FROM A ROLL, STOP, OR ESPECIALLY WHILE TURNING. A SUDDEN LOSS OF POWER…

May 16, 2001Fuel system, gasoline › Fuel injection system 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 OPINION, A SAFETY ISSUE. IN SOME CIRCUMSTANCES (I.E. WHEN CORNERING OR TURNING IN FRONT OF…
