Hi Golfboy and welcome to the forum best wishes sorting your starting issues

 

Welcome in to the madhouse

 

That sounds a bit worrying that the 'specialist' couldn't diagnose and fix the fault. Have you had anyone else look at it?

 

S

Some dealerships only have mechanics who can work off analysers, rather than those with life experience that allows critical analysis of the issue.
With an issue that stumps dealers, I would seek out an older bike mechanic, although it is sad they have dropped sorting the problem after starting to work on it

 

That's all true, of course. I was wondering whether the 'specialist' was a dealer, with access to any additional information they have. It might not provide the answer but ti's where I'd try next.

An old-style mechanic couldn't work out what was wrong with my Street Triple stalling when revs dropped to idle but another chap who restores all sort of bikes and cars got it sorted. It's finding the right person that's the tricky bit.

 

Jack Lilley?

 

They've charged you (or your son) £700 for a new 'computer' and have then given up on the bike! That really doesn't sound good. If they are Triumph agents they should be sticking with it until they sorted it out IMHO. Best of luck in getting it sorted anyway.

 

Yikes. I just ordered a gently used 2010 T100 and waiting for it to be delivered to me. I hope this isn't a common issue

So, what are the actual symptoms? Does it not start, or not spin?
