Each component in detail
What the reports in each category say, in the owners' own words
Engine
Reports naming the engine itself — including stalling, misfires, oil consumption, cooling and internal engine components.
From owner reports, verbatim
The motorcycle stops randomly, in motion, when downshifting and with the clutch depressed. The official Triumph Service Center has been visited without success in the repair. The software update did not fix the problem.
On multiple occasions while slowing down, or coming off the line, with the clutch fully disengaged, the motorcycle has stalled. The RPMs drop to zero and it cuts out. Usually you can hear the engine sputter a bit before it cuts. I've tried adjusting the clutch free play and it's made no difference.
Too few reports in this category for a page of its own — they appear in the full complaint list.
Electrical
Reports naming the electrical system — wiring, battery, charging, control modules, infotainment and electrical accessories.
From owner reports, verbatim
Immobilizer warning light stays lit while riding. Bike sometimes takes 2-3 cycle to restart when warm. Occasionally bike has immediately cut off when downshifting for a complete stop from 2nd gear with clutch lever pulled in.

From owner reports, verbatim
I purchased this vehicle 2024 and had the check engine light come on the day after I purchased it. The vehicle shuts off while driving. It has been to the dealer several times for programing, and a few days later light back on again. I recently brought it in and has been there for three weeks. They called and basically check a lot of thigs but can't say it is repaired. To me this is unbelievable. When I bought it in this time it stalled twice the same day. I was turning into a street and shut it shut off while downshifting for the turn. As I was rolling to a stop when an opposing vehicle pulled out across my path, and I almost hit his rear quarter panel. It happened so fast I hadn't noticed the bike stalled. If you wait awhile, it will restart again which is not great in an intersection. I have looked on social media which shows people having the same issue around the world. I was surprised to see no complaints listed here. I am affraid to drive it now not knowing it isn't fixed.
