Sorry to hear about your troubles mate, only had the well documented oil leak issue on my 1200 Speed (easy fix) 4k miles in and no other issues, I ride the nuts off the thing and it's done a couple of track days. I really do love mine and will be keeping it, but I can understand your frustration mate.
I purchased a 2022 Speed Triple 1200RS in January and have had the opportunity to ride it twice -- mine kept throwing a low oil pressure light and has since been at the dealership. It took the dealer some time to validate that the oil pump was not providing adequate oil pressure. Fast forward to present, Triumph has stated that their oil pumps are on backorder and are not expected to be back in stock in the UK until mid-April. I'm located in the US and will likely not see the needed parts until sometime in May, if I'm lucky. I now very much regret buying this bike and I'm not only losing patience in waiting for this part, but after reading of other owners experiencing a myriad of problems, I'm also losing confidence in the bike and brand too..
same issue with mine. it only comes on when i come to a stop and the engine is HOT and at idle. Dealership had it for 3 months trying to diagnose and said they fixed it but it persists. Triumph says the pressure readings are normal. pressure switch was replaced and still not fixed.
Hi folks- just to update here rather than reply to everybody with the same thing as I'm tired of re iterating or people not listening: Thankyou for all the support and comments, really appreciate it. I have a reply from trading standards and have contacted the finance company and raised a formal complaint as this is now a tier 2, I have a case to be able to get a refund or replacement (Looking for a refund). And move onto another brand/bike and put this all behind me. Huge pain, lots of stress and more to worry about. The bike has been taken back by staffs triumph who have provided me a loan bike in the interim, however I will be looking to get this bike replaced regardless. I have no trust or faith in this brand anymore.
I'm torn I love the bike idk what I'd get if I got my money back but all these issues I'm having too. When the bike works it's great but idk maybe get a tuono but I only paid $15,000 out the door for mine so I'd have to pay a bit extra for a bike
Wow what a run of issues... hope it gets sorted to your satisfaction. I have a 2021 1200 RS with 4500kms on it now. Only issue was the exhaust valve cover and was replaced under the warranty with the better designed bracket. None of the issues you have had at all. I love the bike and it replaced my 2014 speed triple R.
I completely understand how you feel. I am a 1200RS owner as well which stalls every now and again without notice when downshifting which I think it is dangerous and scary. The answer I keep getting from Triumph is that I should not ride it in the low rev range which I don´t do anymore. Completely non existing customer service from Triumph. So sad to think that I rejected to buy the Tuono because I was scared it could give me reliability problems...
Thats a shame mate, and a pathetic excuse from triumph. never heard such bollocks! I'd be onto your trading standards to get it returned as that is very dangerous. Good luck
@@sergeantsodom6969 I sent a complain email to Triumph Spain asking for a repair or a bike swap. They haven't even bothered to answer me, not even a simple "sorry to hear that we are working on it". I only have contact via my dealer which can only do what they get told by Triumph that is tell him it is normal it will go away if he does not drive in the low revs. Disgusting
@@anderarrillaga3856 You definately need to see what your consumer rights laws are in Spain and threaten them with that, as you have a good case there.
Absolutely gutted for you! Hopefully it gets worked out. Not only has this shaken your view of the brand // motorcycle it's shaken mine and I was hoping to own a Triumph in the future.
Owmed 3 Triumphs already and never had a single issue. I feel the frustration here. It’s terrible and unacceptable; however, you may well end up with such a lemon with any brand.
@@Deakzz To be honest, my Triumphs (owned two street triples, and now the 1200 RS) have all been more reliable than the Honda that I owned from brand new in the past. Generally speaking, all models more or less come with some particular issues, especially when they have just been released. Still my 1200 RS has been flawless. The other thing is that when hearing about people’s experiences, you’d never know how they actually treated the bike during their ownership. Not talking about this specific case but more generally.
I got a 1200RR on sat nite and on sunday gas tank will not open . Have to carry tool ,and take of gas cap to fuel . Dealer said he ordered new one , but Here I am wonder what else will go worng ,and I see your heart breaking video .
Jeez. Feel for you. So, Triumph in effect have no after sales or customer care on a brand new bike, and there’s me thinking buying a bike off eBay was dodgy…
Hopefully you get these issues resolved and you get a loaner bike in the meanwhile. Otherwise they should really buy back the bike from you, and you should be able to move on from this situation. I've personally only had an issue of leaking oil from the valve cover on my Speed Triple 1200, but they managed to fix that. But so far I've haven't had anymore issues, I'm hoping it doesn't happen to me as well, I really enjoy the bike and I've put on about 6300 miles on it so far and has been reliable besides that one oil leak issue.
Hi mate just watching your video reference your issue with your triumph, sounds like you have a Friday afternooner there John feel for you fella, I'm to having issue with my new mto9, got a ecu problem that doesn't seem to have been sorted when I took it in for it's first service, apparently they did a recall ecu program update but my bike is still cutting out at low refs so it's going back in Saturday but I'm really disappointed with the issue I'm having on a 7 week old 600mile bike, wish I'd purchased the 890duke R anyway mate hope you get sorted 👍 great video mate.
This is unfortunate. But at the end of the day they are machines and stuff breaks and things go wrong. Even on new ones. Had a 2018 Ducati that required a new front cylinder at 700 miles. Took 5 months to get the parts. I was feeling pretty upset with the bike and brand. But I kept it and even bought another one the year after. Wife had a new car that had the transmission replaced twice in the first 20k miles. This stuff is very frustrating but don’t let it ruin your overall spirit. I now have a 2022 Speed 3RS and it’s been flawless. There are always some duds in the bunch. Best wishes it all works out for you.
Indeed! The sheer amount of issues coming through from peoole points to them not having a tight enough QC and/ or rushed out however, yes at the end of the day shit happens and the world shall continue to spin Cheers mate!
I feel your pain. I have had issues with engine management, gear shift failure (doesn't know what gear it's in) and various other software issues. It has only done 300 miles and has been back to the dealer 3 times.
Damn that suck buddy! I don't even have that level of issues with my Speedy 2011 (maybe due to less features, electronics, etc). It only has 8,000km on it, but still! It's definitely hard pill to swallow when you spend the big bucks on the fairly new bike... Hope this get resolved, keep the pressure on, you'll find a solution if you're persistent ;)
Sorry to hear about your problems mate, no excuse from a brand new bike. Hopefully you get these problems resolved, it sounds like this experience has filled you with dirt, I cant say I blame you either. The future is bright for sure .... but will it be orange? ;)
I just got a mint a 2010 Speed Triple with 23k km & a full Zard exhaust and can do most of the work myself. Any motorcycle shop can do the more difficult maintenance. No PC needed ;-)
I got my 1200RS two weeks ago, had the quick shifter stop working 10kms from leaving dealer, 150km in I got the oil low pressure warning and service overdue (only at 300km) I had the 2019 Street 765 RS and that was 3 yrs of no issues and was hoping the 1200 would be the same , I dont know what happened to triumph as this will effect the RS, RR and new 1200 tiger and could kill triumph as a brand that is suppose to be high quality reliable bikes.
Got me thinking now John about getting shot of mine, now mine fuel gauge is playing up when full tank only registers half a tank spent 3 hours at triumph and full ecu restart and still the same....now going down the warranty route.......now me looking at the gsxr1000r anniversary edition
Christ, keeps adding up doesn't it. I'm tempted to make a video for triumph, where people can comment their issues and problems, and the action that needs to be taken- i.e. everyone put a complaint in via trading standards here in the UK and the equivalent in their respective countries. However I may send them this one just to show them the comments. From what I've heard from...sources, triumph are struggling to admit these faults internally (probably due to being monitary) and aren't recalling the bikes. It will take a combined effort from customers to do something, and I'm willing to push as I have already been doing.
Hi mate. Sorry to ear about those problems, not some simple issues anymore. Hope they get you a new bike or give your money! back. How many miles\kms do you havt in it? Mine done 8000 a couple of weeks ago and no issues so far so maybe you get a lemon in a bundle of sweet oranges :D . Hope everything got sort to you and fast since is your only vehicle. Regards.
I’m still riding daily since new, my ‘05 ST1050. Even with 80K+ on it, it still runs flawlessly. Ever since the frame got updated in ‘08, the styling has gotten too Asian for me. Oh & those modern tech gizmos; TFT screen/no analog tach😢, keyless ignition, fly-by-wire throttle, traction control, speed shifter, etc are all things that can go wrong $$$. Stories/complains of the new 1200 seem to be varied; ECU needs to have software reloaded, TFT clock unit might have indicator lights issues, & speed shifter failures, so you’re not alone, but they’re mostly isolated incidents. Hope you can get your’s sorted, the ST is a brilliant street bike. Triumph is due to release the full testing results of their TE-1 project on July 12th ‘22. Hopefully it’ll reach being a production model. It’s motor has produced 685hp ungoverned, talk about potential.
I’ve had problems with my 22 RR from the day I pulled away from the dealer. The bike I wanted with a few upgrades they sold under me and when I came back to get some things fixed that other RR was in the shop too
With just owning it for 6 months and just finishing the running in I am already facing major issues with the bike, got a transmission fault and check engine light…. The qs stopped working and the bike went into limp mode, my bike is in the service centre from past 4 days and I’m very disappointed with triumph…..
Sounds a nightmare and hope I don’t experience the same issues. You mention having a loan on the bike and if this is Hire Purchase etc, I would forward your letter to the finance provider. Once the dealer has had a proper opportunity to make the necessary repairs and similar faults reoccur, you may be able to reject the bike and the dealer has to put you back into the same position as before you purchased, less any fair usage deduction. You may however face challenges if you have made modifications such as exhaust and ECU remapping.
What is the oil pressure light issue? I have the same issue where they “replaced the sensor” and it did nothing. It’s actually worse and comes on at 100% of cold starts. Restarting the bikes makes it go away but I’m sick of constantly turning my bike on and off twice every time I ride. Do you have issues with your chain becoming dangerously loose every 100 or so miles? I literally have to retighten my chain every 3 days. 2022 Speed Triple RR
Sorry for this shite experience with the 1200rs. This does reaffirm my decision to part ways with Triumph after 12 years of exclusively buying them. Z H2 has been flawless, literally not a single issue.
I got one 1200 Rs such a piece is crap according to the price ! I have only 400 miles and the bike has overheating 🥵 problems and day 2 it’s oil pan exploded in the middle of the ride. Very poor quality build and the dealership kept my bike for 2 months to fix it
Do you think that some of the mods you’ve made could have been a reason for some of the issues? Or did you have these issues prior as well? Hope you’ll find a solution really bad when this happens to someone.
Been in with these problems prior to any mods, and no I can't see anything I've done to affect the bike in this way. If anything, it would be emissions related if for example the exhaust was leaking etc, however I've tried with both the stock and aftermarket with the same issues I'm afraid. Other than the exhaust there have been no other mods apart from aesthetic
I know the ordeal you're going thru my friend. Wasn't with a Speed Triple but the 2012 Tiger Explorer back then for me new. I'm in the US and Triumph ended up taking the bike back. The bike would just shut down. Wait 5 mins and it was able to start up. The dealer had it for a few weeks. I'd get it back, it would fail, back in the shop... This went on for several months. I didn't mind because I had two other bikes. Both 2011's, a Speed Triple and a Thruxton. So keep the it till its fixed. Anyway, I got a new Explorer in January of 2013. That ended up blowing a valve with 24k miles. Was fixed and I have it to this day. Triumph will take it back. Get your dealer to press corporate. You have all the documentation. It shouldn't have gone this far IMO. Good luck!
Look up motor consumer law. You have given them fair chance to fix and or rectify a fault. They have fault to do so, you are entitled to a full refund on service/product purchased. Take the bike and your sales invoice to the dealer and tell the you wish of a full refund as the product supplied/purchased is faulty
@@sergeantsodom6969 good luck, it’s all in your hands. Just be certain in what you want. Money back or new bike, do not take the old one back. Be forever niggling in your mind if and when every time you hear a noise. Your choice and best wishes
There are problems with the oil/water pump for sure. Mine of course leaked oil externally, but if you have a different seal leaking with no visual ques, the thought of an expensive engine not being oiled properly is horrifying. I hope they can work a redesign and quick. I am only hypothesizing at this point, I'm hoping I'm wrong. Good luck on getting them to make good on this!
@@sergeantsodom6969 typically lawyers pick them up pro Bono and take a percentage of the settlement. With all the people having problems the case would be successful. Iv seen class action lawsuits for much kess
Get some consumer law advice man, iam sure this can be handed back as not fit for purpose and get refunded maybe inform finance co of issues and your intentions they may have some advise
@@sergeantsodom6969 I am glad to hear they took it back. Too many problems and the dealer couldn’t fix. I am currently having overheating issues that the dealer can’t seem to resolve and I only have 100 miles on it. I appreciate your insight and wonder if I will be headed in the same direction as you of the dealer and triumph can’t figure it out.
@@sergeantsodom6969 hey man have a question for you. My Speed Triple 1200 RR has a 100 miles on the clock, has 2 error codes, overheating and transmission codes thrown. Dealer has had it 2 month with no idea how to fix the problems. Triumph opened a case but won’t budge on anything else besides the dealer repairing. I’ve lost all confidence in the bike being repaired. Question is how long was your bike in the shop before you were able to get Triumph to buy back your bike? I feel that I am at that point. Thanks for any advice!
@EpiceverythingProductions Hi mate, that's fucking awful... wow. I had the finance company step in to help me here as I was paying monthly for a bike I didn't have. If I recall the bike was away from me for around 3 months? But it was a whole ago, its a bit foggy. I would push any kind of legal help l, if youre in the UK there is something called trading standards, I'm not sure if you have an equivalent consumer rights act wherever you are from, but that would definitely help your case. All the best and good luck
@@sergeantsodom6969 thanks for the reply! I live in the US so we have the Lemon Law for vehicles that are faulty. I’ll push back with triumph again and if they won’t budge of alternatives besides wait for the repair, I’ll have to file. Thanks for letting me know your timeline as it is close to where I am at with mine.
Beleive me, problems you have had are minor in comparison to my 2020 1200 Tiger. Replace main wiring harness twice, fork seals, font rotors/pads, starter motor, solenoid (twice), stator coils, regulator/rectifier, battery and triumph is now talking about another wiring harness to fix IMU issue! Has been at dealer most of last year and since may this year. In Canada, Triumph US and Triumph UK involved. Piece of crap!
Are you aware of a u tuber named Stuart Fillingham ...?? .. he's had major issues with triumph as a company ... documented everything and put it on u tube .. he shows on his channel what your your probably gonna go through .. his info may help you plan a course of action .. Best of luck .. regards Simon.
Yeah not keen on his a lot of his stuff being honest. Plan my end is already unfolding I just haven't had the will or energy to document it fully yet- Cheers Simon
BD to you, it's extremely subjective. I've test ridden and owned plenty of bikes to have formulated my own opinions on what I enjoy as a human - cheers
@@sergeantsodom6969 night mere mate hope you're happy now, I've got 1050 rs last year new love the bike although had a thew missed gears false neutral s which are a worry

Bets are yours will be fine mate, I wouldn't worry too much. You've the support there if things do go awry though, most of all enjoy it!
I got one 1200 Rs such a piece is crap according to the price ! I have only 400 miles and the bike has overheating 🥵 problems and day 2 it’s oil pan exploded in the middle of the ride. Very poor quality build and the dealership kept my bike for 2 months to fix it
This Sucks.Take Triumph to court. Maybe a lawsuit will get them to actually do something. Good luck.
Do you think that some of the mods you’ve made could have been a reason for some of the issues? Or did you have these issues prior as well?
Hope you’ll find a solution really bad when this happens to someone.
Been in with these problems prior to any mods, and no I can't see anything I've done to affect the bike in this way. If anything, it would be emissions related if for example the exhaust was leaking etc, however I've tried with both the stock and aftermarket with the same issues I'm afraid.
Other than the exhaust there have been no other mods apart from aesthetic
@@sergeantsodom6969 I see. I feel bad for you man. You really seem you want to enjoy the bike. Hope all
Goes well.
@@nassosa Its a lovely bike when it works. Thanks pal, we'll get there!
FFS mate. 🤦♂️ What a shit situation. Hope you get a decent response from Triumph and at least draw a line under the bike issues. 🤞
get the finance company involved ! ..that is the best bet if you had payed cash you would be screwed as i was with a ktm ...
Rather disheartening considering how expensive that bike is and being Triumph a premium brand.
What about the warranty? Bring the bike to your dealership and they have to fix all this issues..
I know the ordeal you're going thru my friend. Wasn't with a Speed Triple but the 2012 Tiger Explorer back then for me new. I'm in the US and Triumph ended up taking the bike back. The bike would just shut down. Wait 5 mins and it was able to start up. The dealer had it for a few weeks. I'd get it back, it would fail, back in the shop... This went on for several months. I didn't mind because I had two other bikes. Both 2011's, a Speed Triple and a Thruxton. So keep the it till its fixed. Anyway, I got a new Explorer in January of 2013. That ended up blowing a valve with 24k miles. Was fixed and I have it to this day. Triumph will take it back. Get your dealer to press corporate. You have all the documentation. It shouldn't have gone this far IMO. Good luck!
Look up motor consumer law. You have given them fair chance to fix and or rectify a fault. They have fault to do so, you are entitled to a full refund on service/product purchased. Take the bike and your sales invoice to the dealer and tell the you wish of a full refund as the product supplied/purchased is faulty
Yeah I've since heard back off trading standards who have gone over it and ive put a complaint in. Here's hoping something gets done
@@sergeantsodom6969 good luck, it’s all in your hands. Just be certain in what you want. Money back or new bike, do not take the old one back. Be forever niggling in your mind if and when every time you hear a noise. Your choice and best wishes
@@ducatistajp5214 That's it. Cheers for the support and for your comments!
There are problems with the oil/water pump for sure. Mine of course leaked oil externally, but if you have a different seal leaking with no visual ques, the thought of an expensive engine not being oiled properly is horrifying. I hope they can work a redesign and quick. I am only hypothesizing at this point, I'm hoping I'm wrong. Good luck on getting them to make good on this!
Should we start a class action lawsuit
Mine has done all this
Not sure that could be done/is legal across countries (?) Not sure how they work, and would it involve fees for a lawyer and representation
@@sergeantsodom6969 typically lawyers pick them up pro Bono and take a percentage of the settlement. With all the people having problems the case would be successful. Iv seen class action lawsuits for much kess
Get some consumer law advice man, iam sure this can be handed back as not fit for purpose and get refunded maybe inform finance co of issues and your intentions they may have some advise
Aye, already been there. This was from a few days back so I'll post another update at some point
Whatever happened to your bike?
There are quite a few additions to my storg since then on my channel if youre interested.
Long story short, it got taken back by Triumph
@@sergeantsodom6969 I am glad to hear they took it back. Too many problems and the dealer couldn’t fix.
I am currently having overheating issues that the dealer can’t seem to resolve and I only have 100 miles on it. I appreciate your insight and wonder if I will be headed in the same direction as you of the dealer and triumph can’t figure it out.
@@sergeantsodom6969 hey man have a question for you. My Speed Triple 1200 RR has a 100 miles on the clock, has 2 error codes, overheating and transmission codes thrown. Dealer has had it 2 month with no idea how to fix the problems. Triumph opened a case but won’t budge on anything else besides the dealer repairing. I’ve lost all confidence in the bike being repaired.
Question is how long was your bike in the shop before you were able to get Triumph to buy back your bike? I feel that I am at that point. Thanks for any advice!
@EpiceverythingProductions Hi mate, that's fucking awful... wow.
I had the finance company step in to help me here as I was paying monthly for a bike I didn't have. If I recall the bike was away from me for around 3 months? But it was a whole ago, its a bit foggy.
I would push any kind of legal help l, if youre in the UK there is something called trading standards, I'm not sure if you have an equivalent consumer rights act wherever you are from, but that would definitely help your case.
All the best and good luck
@@sergeantsodom6969 thanks for the reply! I live in the US so we have the Lemon Law for vehicles that are faulty. I’ll push back with triumph again and if they won’t budge of alternatives besides wait for the repair, I’ll have to file. Thanks for letting me know your timeline as it is close to where I am at with mine.
Beleive me, problems you have had are minor in comparison to my 2020 1200 Tiger. Replace main wiring harness twice, fork seals, font rotors/pads, starter motor, solenoid (twice), stator coils, regulator/rectifier, battery and triumph is now talking about another wiring harness to fix IMU issue! Has been at dealer most of last year and since may this year. In Canada, Triumph US and Triumph UK involved. Piece of crap!
Maybe you should have go with the KTM, just saying
Are you aware of a u tuber named Stuart Fillingham ...?? .. he's had major issues with triumph as a company ... documented everything and put it on u tube .. he shows on his channel what your your probably gonna go through .. his info may help you plan a course of action .. Best of luck .. regards Simon.
Yeah not keen on his a lot of his stuff being honest. Plan my end is already unfolding I just haven't had the will or energy to document it fully yet- Cheers Simon
"Oh, but Japanese bikes are boring, Euro bikes are more exotic."
BS.
Test-ride and rent European, buy Japanese.
BD to you, it's extremely subjective. I've test ridden and owned plenty of bikes to have formulated my own opinions on what I enjoy as a human - cheers
@@sergeantsodom6969 If you want reliability you buy Japanese - arguing to the contrary is just asinine.
Puts me off the Triumph brand.
Why ain't MCN all over this?
Probably as they get luxury hotels and trips planned for them to sway the favour of journo's
But that may be me being bitter 😉
@@sergeantsodom6969 night mere mate hope you're happy now, I've got 1050 rs last year new love the bike although had a thew missed gears false neutral s which are a worry
Think you need to buy a Honda. 🤮
