I had quick run out on the scrambler 1200 this afternoon, after 20mins riding I got ocabs abs disarmed on the clock , I pulled over turned the bike off and restarted it and all was well for a few miles then it came on again, once I arrived at the cafe I turned it off and tucked into a bacon sarny only to notice the bikes lights had come on and the clocks were lit up, I tried to start the bike and it wouldn’t, after 3 hours the RAC arrived, he had a quick look round the bike and tried to start it but there was nothing at the starter button but the clocks were lit up, while I was going through what had happened the fuel pump primed which made us both say did you here that, he tried the starter button and it fired up, I rode home with ocabs and engine management light on and bike ran normally, once home the bike won’t restart again on the button but clocks are lit up, I’ll ring triumph in morning,has anyone had anything similar?.
Sorry to hear about your problems, sometimes these things can be caused by loose connections or a duff sensor. Just out of interest did triumph put it right for you ?? So far my Xe has had no problems accept for sounding like a bag of spanners. A triumph engineer listened to it and said it’s normal. What do you think ?
That sounds normal to me, my bike is still at the dealer, they have replaced a imu sensor which didn’t fix it and now waiting for a reply from triumph, I’ve a t120 on loan which is a lovely bike and my dealer cobb & jagger have kept me well informed but hopefully it’ll be fixed soon.
I’m glad they’re on it ! Electrical faults are always hard to find, sometimes it’s trial and error. I was thinking of taking mine in for a premature valve check, which is not cheap. I’m new to triumph and can’t believe how much they rattle. It’s doing my head in. Does the T120 make that noise ? I believe it’s the same engine.
there not supposed to sound like a Honda in-line four, mines noisy compared to some bikes but remember there’s no fairing which can soften noise.
It’s taken 8 weeks to fix but I’ve finally got my scrambler 1200 Xe back, it’s had a new wiring loom,ecu, transponders, new key,the delay was caused over getting a new key cut at the triumph factory, after picking the bike up I was making my way home only to discover the heated grips weren’t working correctly so I turned round and back to the dealer who have been excellent (cob& jagger in Shipley), within a couple of days the bike was picked up and returned with new heated grips, if anything else goes wrong with the bag of shite it’s going as I’ve lost confidence in it.
First ride out on the bike since it was repaired today, all was going well until the screen started to flicker with key is too far from the bike , it then got progressively worse until it was on just about all the time,not happy and wish I’d never bought the pile of shite.
To be fair, thats a common thing that the key is out of range. I put a proper duracell battery in and it's been fine for well over a year. Worth a go?
I’ve had bike to triumph this morning, they think it could be battery so changed it for a wurth one and all’s well but I am going to take your advice and get a Duracell battery,cheers.
I put a Duracell battery in the fob and it’s not flashed or flickered since thanks for the advice,the one triumph put in a varta was flashing first time out.
