Complete insturment cluster failure and catalytic converter failure at less than 10 k miles .This model has been on a recall list but mine wasn't recalled and failures are known for this model.No warning lights before failure when taken to shop for repairs once insturment cluster replaced ,didn't accelrate due to clogged converter.In shop now waiting for replacement parts at Select Cycle Greensboro, N.C. .After doing research i found wiring and insturment failures are common defect Triumph schould be aware of .I feel they are selling a defective product,as bike has always maintained and stored in garage.

The brakes, turn signals, and hazards do not trigger the associated components and the controls for these do not work. The check engine light intermittently comes on and off with these symptoms. The front clutch cable has work through the protective housing at the front of the motorcycle against the electrical components.
