Exterior lighting, Service brakes, Jul 18, 2021
The turn indicators on my motorcycle will randomly fail and the display will read “ left front indicator failure” etc. This has happened on all four indicators and the fault will continue until the motorcycle is shut off. This happens almost daily on one of the four indicators. There is a very real danger of other drivers not knowing of your turning because of an indicator malfunction. Through social media I have learned that this is a problem numerous Rocket 3 owners are having and Triumph has been aware of the problem for months now and has not corrected the issue. I took mine to my local Triumph service department and they were able to duplicate the problem but had no solution stating they contacted Triumph for support. It has been two weeks and no reply or remedy has been received from Triumph. There has also been a problem with the rear brakes fading and with some owners the rear brakes have completely stopped working. I took mine to the Triumph service department and they performed the recommended brake bleeding procedure. The brakes were better for three days then went back to the same fading condition. This is also a common problem with 2020 and newer Rocket 3 according to numerous social media posts.
