    I can't help but wonder if they've under-specced the battery. It's a large displacement twin cylinder high compression engine, so it'll need real battery kick to fuel the starter motor.

    It's a possibility. The demo bike is starting a dream .

    Bonnie is back and appears to be behaving. Replaced starter switch & starter relay. Have done over 250 miles with no issues. Fingers crossed. Edinburgh Triumph have advised if this doesn't fix it I will get the bike changed. Can't ask better than that.

    That's a positive pleased you have no more starting problems.

    Over sensitive electrics that we get these days just gone the wrong way now I think. Mines crap too at times only as it feels!

    I Know most of us treat our bikes to a garage that must help but i am wondering about the bikes that are left out in all weathers like my old trusty was a 1999my Honda Hornet 600 (carb model and no electronic crap ) as this was my daily commute vehicle for 14 years always started and never let me down and quiet honestly not cared for apart from servicing when needed.
