Had it for 3.5 years. Keep getting a warning that the LF indicator is not working - intermittent. They are aftermarket but changed them >1 year ago……? Maybe the wiring needs a check? OK, the bigger issue…... In recent weeks (I’ve only been riding when it’s not raining so ingress not an issue here) it keeps cutting out. Does it mainly if I ask for too many revs too quickly after start (cold). It’s never been an issue before (starting or just continuing to run) and it’s bloody dangerous. Battery (according to AllTrac) is currently 12.9v. Straight off the Optimate it.s 13.8v. Now I’m having trouble starting it, even after being on the Optimate. Starts then dies. I’ve noted that if I keep my finger on the start button it will stay running and this is the best chance of it keeping running when I let go after a few seconds. Could it be a dodgy TPS or starter switch? I’ve no clue on electrics so fear an expensive main dealer trip is in the offing but would be grateful for any insights. Thanks in advance. BJB.
I have a 1200 Thruxton R which is essentially the same engine. The major service at 10,000 miles involves taking off the throttle bodies (and re-balancing them?) Because of this, I took it to my Triumph Dealer rather than my local mechanic. I was pleasantly surprised that the "major" service came in at £240. No idea whether this would cure your problem though.
