FYI, there is a recall addressing the issue you found with this bike. I have a 2022 model and you're right, it's an issue with the MAP hose. The ECU scrambles up the air to fuel ratio due to some sort of blockage in the MAP hose and causes random stalls. The recall requires a dealer to replace the hose with a better one to avoid obstructions and this issue all together. I scheduled this recall work on Oct. 7th at my nearest Triumph dealer.
Pinned! I looked everywhere to see if Triumph had issued an official fix so great to hear Triumph has issued a recall to fix it 🙌 I think with this issue sorted the bike overall is a great package 😃 happy and safe riding out there!
I have a 2023 model, in Australia and I have put over 6,000 km on it since March when I picked up the bike new and I have never, ever had the engine cut out.
I put the OEM round end mirrors on and they look fantastic. They have the Triumph logo on the back. You also then have no shoulder blocking your view. It adds to the retro aspect of the bike while giving you better visibility.
Its not a build up of oil. During manufacturing the tube was difficult assemble to the MAP sensor so the workers used a grease they shouldn't have to help. This grease dried out and blocked the hose and sensor causing the stalling. It has been resolved.
That issue has been resolved. Mine 2023 model never had that problem...i had a racal for the MAP, but in my bike it was only the consume petrol...it was over 7l for 100kms. Now it´s 5/5.5.
I am glad I watched this video. Immediately or the next day at least, I got my recall card. LOL omg. My bike had not stalled but obviously it is a problem for some bikes. I took it in, had the recall performed and everything is A OK. Thanks for the video!
Take mine in on Friday for Recall work.I haven't had any issues I think 🤔 it's nearly all Tridents & Tiger 660.Can't wait till get it over & done with & heard bike runs better.
@@JamesCAsphalt8I had Recall work done.I had to ride 106km non stop to get there & used 4.8L per 100km on way there. After Recall work I noticed bike idled lower & didn't notice much more difference than that until I got home.I used 4.6L per 100km on way home & stopped for gas ⛽ on way home & riding was similar apart from stopping to get gas ⛽ on way home same route too.Took about 100mins to do Recall work & while I was there I got some Red Radiator fluid for Triumphs which can't get anywhere else cost me $40nz for 1L of premix.
Gearbox gets better as kms build up.Quick shifter is the best mod for this bike.Changing down with quick shifter is sweet & upshift Quick shifter works better when rev it out it changes smoother above 5500rpm & great at 6500-7000rpm but you're be flying if you go to 7000rpm from 3rd-6th.The mirrors are geeat for visibility & I don't mind them.I got the Evotech tail tidy.I recommend you get Speed Angeles Scratch protection Antiglare stickers for dash.Triumph frame sliders (Crash bars)& bobbins for maintenance fir paddock stand.Powerbronze do a headlight protector which is 3mm plastic & is stuck on with 3m Velcro to remove to clean headlight & Triumph headlight costs $500 so Headlight protector is cheap to protect it. I have a 2023 LAMS model & never had any cut out issues. Perhaps put a 2022-23 part on it so it doesn't cut out.Fender extenders are great to keep bike cleaner & protect radiator & also get a Radiator guard. If haven't got Quick Shifter get one makes bike punch way above it's weight picks up quick & slows down fast & if some idiot pulls out in front of you you change down quicker. If you at home & park bike in chock & fill tank from tin the tank actually holds 14.4Liters & same if you straddle bike at gas ⛽ station just make sure to ues petrol bowser with no spills on ground.The manual says tank holds 14.4L when fill bike when level & 14L when on side stand & if filling level bike up to 2mm from bottom of filler tank as manual says don't fill past filler neck. Always leave at least 2L in tank treat that as empty so fuel pump,filters don't suck up sludge,grit etc.I get about 4.7Lper 100km & 4.9L going hard out per 100km & you'll get about 240km max with 2-2.4L left in tank.Seat is plush but you can get flash seat cover with gel pad from Taperzerria off ebay & high quality.
Ah okay, I mean this bike had 50,000+ kms if I remember correctly, but I think I would have gotten used to the shifting if I had it long term because I only had it for a week because it was a rental, thanks for letting us know your personal experience with the bike 🙌 happy and safe riding 😄
I got the quick shifter when I bought my 2022 Trident and I have to say that athe bike shifts so smoothly with the clutch that often I don't even use the quick shifter. I find that shifting down with it is great however and your assessment is spot on.
@@ashriffshnr I had the free Recall work done where they swap single air hose for 3 hole air hose apparently it clogs up on higher kms bikes.After Recall work I noticed that bike was more economical by 200ml per 100km & burnt fuel better before when idling could smell unburnt fuel but all sweet now.I also got the Ermax Nose fairing that is same colour scheme as bike & looks heaps better.
I have trident. I don’t have this problem with my bike. Probably has to do with heated grip idk. Oh I love this bike, just over 1.5k kilometres done so far. No issues with it whatsoever.
This bike didn't have heated grips unfortunately 😕 I believe the issue may be limited to the first batch of bikes but it's definitely an issue others are experiencing, aside from this issue it's a great package, glad you're enjoying the bike, keep us updated on your ownership, happy and safe riding! 😃
🙌 sounds like it may only be an issue with the earliest batch of bikes, definitely do give us an update as you put more miles on it, happy and safe riding! 😄
I own a Trident 660 and it didn't show any 'stalling' issues until lately. I reported it to the dealer at it's 12-month service and I was told that it could be fuel. They also (quietly) mentioned that they had applied an ECU flash update. My bike is better and hasn't stalled since, but I do notice that there seems to be what I can only describe as some sort of 'vaccum' effect when coasting (throttle off) downhills? I think I got one of the first batch of bikes.
Yep it's pretty annoying ay, I've seen on the forums that the ECU flash update seems to be one of the fixes the dealerships recommend but yeah I think it's more of a bandaid fix because it seems the issue does lie with that rubber tube that feeds into the MAP sensor that Triumph isn't acknowledging for whatever reason 😕
Recall for Air intake hose & needs to be replaced free of charge at Triumph dealer where they replace hose & remap to fix problem.I haven't had any stalling or rough idle but only done 3200km.I don't want to take any chances & take my bike in on Friday for Recall work.I think 🤔 it's most bikes & heard bike runs better.
Dang, I think it must definitely be the design of the 660 engine that Triumph is utilizing in the Trident and other relating models that's causing the issue, sounds like whatever the dealer did was a bandaid if you're still experiencing the issue intermittently 😕 Keep us updated and ride safe!
It has a perfectly flat torque curve, so amount of throttle=amount of acceleration throughout the rev range. It's like an electric motor but it you can shift it, and it sounds way better.
@@jasondep I got a R1250RS bmw. I find myself travelling long distance a lot and realize I need a touring bike that's sporty :) I'll miss my trident since it's been a great bike!
Also my bike have never it out , but i used to have a issiue sitting at the intersection or round about and tapping it inyo first gear , ut would pop back to neutral. But that fixed itself afyer the first 1000k service. 🎉.
When bike doesn't go into 1st pull clutch in & release & then try again.I occasionally have trouble putting bike into 1st from neutral just pull clutch in & release & it will go into 1st this is a common issue on all bikes. I love the self cancelling indicators on Trident 🔱 & if in town or going slow use the clutch which I use 75-80% of the time & get smooth upshifts every time & Triumph are known for clunky gearboxes so don't worry about that.
@@danielwilliams8391 I done a few mods & have a shite TH-cam channel 😆😁😂🤣 but shows mods I done & do.Had a Interceptor 650 before this but hit loose gravel on bend & crashed & wrote it off & ended up in hospital 🤕 with broken ankles,back lucky to survive.Bike was paid off & insured.After 7 months of healing I decided to jump back in the saddle but had to get a lighter bike.Only the MtO7,XSR700 185kg wet or Trident 🔱 187kg wet & went for Trident 🔱$500 cheaper & better & more technology & better resale value.Trident is heaps better than Yamaha XSR 700,MtO7 & has that unique T-plane triple sound firing order if 1-3-2 not cross plane 1-2-3 like Yamaha & every other triple.I ordered mine with quick shifter,frame sliders,bobbins & have since added Speed Angeles Scratch protection Antiglare sticker for dash. Fender extenders,Evotech Radiator guard & Evotech Tail tidy which improves look of bike.Got Hepco Becker grab rail in mail as well. Great bike & goes hard using Quick Shifter.
In terms of riding performance, I would say it’s about the same - linear power, sharp handling, decently comfortable 😊 design wise, it would subjective. Triumph is known for the bug eye design with their street triples and I certainly don’t hate it myself but I do like the design of the Trident a bit better with the single headlight and the rear fender design from factory 😊
Price wise, used examples go for just under $10K AUD, but brand new it's around $14K AUD 😅 But yeah not sure why the full power version isn't brought here by itself, however in saying that from what I've found online, the engines are the same between the two versions and that the power deficit is purely electronic and the restricted model can be derestricted 😊
I bought mine new in 2021 great bike, its done 4000 kilometers in total. But one upset or issiue im unsure of is it ises oil. Does not leak but i habe to check it every month religiously. It can change from the top mark to the bottom . Ie, it will be fine for 3 weeks it wont move off the top mark them wamo its on the bottom mark on the dip stick. Im always topping up oil. There is a forum on this also. There is no way rhis bike can getvto a 16000 sevice interval on its on , no way. I ckean my chakn every 2 weeks , wash her every month and also tyre pressure etc. Love the bike its great . But the oil issiue 😢 Kind regards Daniel from nz
Yeah my service light comes on each year in dec or jan . And it get serviced hopefully things change when I go in for the 16000k service . I rode to palmerston and back and around town for a month and didnt use a drop then I check it and its low al of a sudden. Even after a service I check it and I do notice they dont get it bang on at the shop either. Or I could just be paranoid haha .

Is not for beginner, also I love the Quick Shifter, is cheap and you must have!!, FROM CHILE
I tested out this beauty back in 2021 and i gotta say, the abs on the rear brake was kicking in too much. I was using something like 75-25 ratio for braking and rear abs was still kicking in. Other than that the bike was fantastic with the throttle having a slight delay which u can fix with flashing the ecu i think.
Interesting to hear about the ABS acting like that, I wonder if other people encounter this issue 🤔 but yep definitely agree the bike is fantastic to ride, except for the engine cut out issue 😅

at less in New Zealand Triumph fix this problem for free so shouldn't be any more that issue.
I actually think this is the best looking motorcycle in the world.
Fair enough 😅 I do love the circular headlight and the way the rear of the bike tapers off, and definitely love the rear wheel fender 🙌
Wow. Best in the world. I like mine however.....LOL

16000km service is for valve adjustment you still need to do oil changes & oil filter every 5-6000km max.
