Owner complaintsComplaints are reports submitted to NHTSA by owners and drivers. NHTSA does not verify most reports before publishing them, and a complaint does not establish that a defect exists. Volume is influenced by how many of a vehicle were sold, how long it has been on the road, and how much attention an issue has received.

THE NYLON/PLASTIC FUEL TANK HAS STARTED TO SHOW SIGNS OF WARPING AND DEFORMATION. THIS ISSUE HAS BEEN HIGHLY SPECULATED TO BE CAUSED BY PHASE SEPARATION/E10 FUEL RELATED CAUSES WHICH ATTRACT ENVIRONMENTAL MOISTURE INTO THE FUEL AND TANK AND ULTIMATELY CAUSE DEFORMATION. 2008+ VERSIONS OF THE TRIUMPH SPEED TRIPLE NOW COME EQUIPPED WITH A METAL FUEL TANK WITH WHICH THIS IS NO LONGER AN ISSUE. UNFORTUNATELY THAT DOESN'T HELP ME WITH THE PROBLEMS I AM EXPERIENCING. *TR
