Randomly my engine quit, down shifting to stop or light. I am about to stop 3rd going to 2nd and clutch pulled in to realized engine quit, It happens to me 3 times, press start button engine engine on idle ok Until my son rode the bike and commented exactly the on the same occurrence, bike as 8000 klm, idle set at 1000 ?
Speed triple by any chance? I had the same if so. I took off the clamps for the cables near the headstock (rhs) and it's gone away. Triumph weren’t interested.
I had the same thing on a tiger 800. I made a habit of fully releasing the clutch lever when downshifting while coming to a stop. Seemed to make the problem go away but I didn't keep the bike much longer. I believe there's been a few cases with the thruxton 1200 so its not confined to a single model.
DenFer Really should idle just above the 1000 revs to stay charging. Not that it will help but give it a go. Joe.
What’s the fuel level like, I had this on a CB1300 changing down to a stop downhill when the fuel level was low, the fuel running to the front of the tank away from the pump inside the tank. Always started straight away though.
T100 2015 checked idle is 1050, Fuel, since i dont have a gauge, i dont go lower than 1/4 tank, always 2.5 to 3 liters in! But if it happen again soon i ll try to check the level at.TKS
I completely forgot to mention , i bought that bike at 1000 klm last year, it was stored in non heated shed for 5 year, So now i figured that he must of used 1 tank per year Wondering if gas my of rotten , to dirty or plug the gas filter?
Ah, now we’re getting there. The fuel is probably stale and there may be water in the tank so drain/syphon it all out of the tank, put some suitable injector cleaner in with fresh fuel and that should sort it.
There was a map update for the Thruxton 1200 that fixed the problem, probably worth calling the Triumph dealer to see if a similar update is required on your bike, my guess is it’s not been to the dealers for a while .
