VEHICLE WOULD DIE DURING WARMUP. IT THEN WOULD NOT START FOR 5 MINUTES AND ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS THE BATTERY WOULD DRAIN BEFORE IT ACTUALLY STARTED. TOOK BIKE TO TWIN PEAKS POWERSPORTS (PLACE OF PURCHASE) IN LONGMONT CO LOCATED @ I-25 AND HWY 66. THEY FOUND NOTHING WRONG AND SAID IT NEEDED TO HAVE MORE THAN 1/4 OF A TANK OF GAS. WHEN QUESTIONS WHY IT STALLED WHEN I HAD A FULL TANK OF GAS, THEY IGNORED THE QUESTION. DEALER DID NOTHING AT THIS TIME. AFTER SEVERAL MORE TIMES OF THE BIKE STALLING, THE DEALER FINALLY FIXED THE PROBLEM BY WORKING ON THE CARBURETORS. NOW A NEW PROBLEM AROSE. AT NIGHT, I NOTICED THE ENGINE HOT LIGHT STARTING TO ILLUMINATE. PAYING MORE ATTENTION TO THE LIGHT AFTER THIS, I NOTICED IT ILLUMINATING QUITE FREQUENTLY AND ONLY AT LOW SPEEDS AND IN STOP AND GO TRAFFIC. I CONTACTED THE DEALER. THEY LOOKED AT THE BIKE, SAID THE FAN WAS WORKING OK AND SENT ME ON MY WAY. THEY FINALLY WORKED ON THE BIKE. WORK DONE WAS TO SAND THE GROUND CONTACT FROM THE HOT LIGHT. HOT LIGHT STILL CAME ON. I CONTACTED REG. MANAGER AND HE SAID IT HAS HAPPENED TO HIM AND NOT TO WORRY ABOUT IT. I CONTACTED TRIUMPH IN GEORGIA. JERRY PARRISH WHO IS HEAD OF CUSTOMER RELATIONS TOLD ME TO HAVE TWIN PEAKS CONTACT HIM. TWIN PEAKS FAILED TO FIX THE PROBLEM, EVEN AFTER 1.5 YRS OF COMPLAINING TO THEM. I NOW BELIEVE JERRY PARRISH IS A PSEUDO FIGURE. 20 PHONE CALLS AND HE NEVER WAS IN HIS OFFICE AND NEVER RETURED ANY OF MY PHONE CALLS, WOW. I HAD TO TAKE THE BIKE TO ANOTHER DEALER IN DENVER, ERIC

Reading this record
No unusual pattern of severe incidents in the complaint record.
Complaint counts track how many cars were sold and how long they have been on the road as much as they track quality. A common model from 2013 has had a decade to accumulate reports; a rare one from last year has not. The signal worth weighing is in the severity columns, in whether the same component keeps appearing, and in whether the manufacturer eventually opened a recall for it.
Most recent recall on file: none. Source: NHTSA Office of Defects Investigation.
