Starting problem 2016 T120

Anyone had problems with the new T120 ?
I have a brand new one that has starting issues. Been back to garage twice in a week and is due to be picked up on Saturday , aparantley fixed !

 

Welcome and sorry to hear of your trouble, hopefully they have sorted your problem

 

Hi Peter, welcome in hopefully you'll have it back working as if should.

 

Oh and don't forget to post what the problem was and what the fox was

 

The starter motor has been replaced on advice from Triumph tech team.
Have had Bonnies in the past but never had any problems.
It's been great weather in Scotland for a change and I've no bike .
Finger crossed for Saturday and I will let you know how I get on.

 

Oh! Use your own auto correct then, frr go dine ness seak youse year omage in Asians!

 

Bloody spell checkers !! or is it a age thing ??

 

I have had mice chewing cables but not a FOX

 

Hi and welcome to the forum - hope the garage have managed to fox it.

 

BikerPete welcome in not seen any issues like this one posted here I really hope dealer has got to the bottom of the bad starting problem with a fix, keep us posted.

 

What sort of starting issues were they? Oh and welcome to our mental 'ome bikerpeter

 

On pressing the starter it sounded like a flat battery but with perseverance it would catch. It could start all day or sit for 30 mins after a run and fail to start.
Fortunately the head mechanic tried it and it failed with him.
Good looking bike and great to ride

 

Would that be a clicking sound but not turning over?

 

That was lucky usually they behave perfectly when you take them in.

 

No clicking just sounded flat but all the power lights etc were fine !

 

When I went to pick it up I was told it had started 15 times in a row. That is until they went to show me it was repaired. On cue it failed to start until 3rd attempt !

 

Are you talking about the fox

 

Could be a loose connection or fault with starter motor taking to much current if it is not the battery then ??

 

To be honest this is a problem for Triumph to solve, imo. They know they've got an issue.

 

With a spring in my step and full of hope I went to pick up my T120.
It's still with them. It's not the starter motor.
Seems it might start 10, 12 even 15 times then refuse. Back to the drawing board . They now have a video of it not starting.
At least they have given me the T120 Black to use until mines is fixed.
Will keep you posted
