NHTSA Complaint #10224334 — 2005 TRIUMPH ROCKET III

I OWN A 2005 ROCKET 3 PURCHASED NEW. I HAVE EXPERIENCED MANY PROBLEMS AS I STILL AM WITH ENGINE NOISE (RATTLING). I HAD BROUGHT THIS TO THE DEALERS ATTENTION WHEN FIRST SERVICE WAS PERFORMED AND WAS TOLD THESE SOUNDS WERE "NORMAL". ALSO THE FRONT DIRECTIONAL TIRE WAS INSTALLED FROM THE FACTORY THE WRONG DIRECTION. (DEALER REPLACED TIRE FREE OF CHARGE). BIKE STALLS OFTEN WHILE STOPPED(FELL OVER ONCE HURTING LEG AND BACK) DEALER SAID ECU UPGRADE WAS AS PER TRIUMPH GUIDELINES. MY CONCERN NOW, THAT THE WARRANTY HAS EXPIRED, I WILL SUFFER THE SAME FATE THAT HUNDREDS OF ROCKET 3 OWNERS HAVE ALREADY SUFFERED...1, COMPLETE ENGINE FAILURE. 2,NO HELP FROM TRIUMPH NOW THAT THEY HAVE STROKED US ALL ALONG UNTIL THE WARRANTY EXPIRED. I FOR 1 CAN NOT BELIEVE THAT AFTER MORE THAT 100 COMPLAINTS FROM EVERY WEBSITE/FORUM/NATIONAL COMPLAINT BOARD OR WHERE EVER ELSE YOU READ ABOUT THIS SAME PROBLEM THAT TRIUMPH IS NOT HELD RESPONSIBLE FOR THIS!!!!!! IF THERE IS ANY OTHER ROCKET 3 OWNERS OUT THERE THAT WOULD LIKE TO LOOK INTO A CLASS ACTION SUIT AGAINST TRIUMPH AMERICA PLEASE CONTACT TO PROVE THIS ACTION WE WOULD HAVE TO PROVIDE BEYOND A REASONABLE DOUBT THE FAILURE OF TRIUMPH TO RECTIFY THIS POOR STANDARD OF WORKMANSHIP OF ITS "FLAGSHIP" MOTORCYCLE !. HEY NHTSA ARE YOU GUYS/GIRLS HEARING ANY OF WHAT IS BEING SAID HERE OR ACROSS THE WEB. TRIUMPH KNEW ABOUT THE SUBSTANDARD ENGINE PARTS IT USED IN 05 ROCKETS CHANGED / UPGRADED THEM ON THERE NEWER MODELS, BLEW SMOKE UP ALL OF THE 05 OWNERS BUTTS UNTIL OUR WARRANTY'S WERE UP AND NOW ARE CHARGING US UNBELIEVABLE AMOUNTS OF MONEY TO KEEP OUR MOSTLY UN-PAID OFF BIKES ON THE ROAD. I GUESS THAT'S ONE WAY OF COVERING THE COST OF THE UPGRADES THAT THE LUCKY/ SMART ONES ARE ENJOYING NOW....P.S. THE GUYS AT TREBOUR HAVE BEEN VERY PROFESSIONAL / UNDERSTANDING AND I BELIEVE THERE HANDS ARE TIED BY TRIUMPH. *TR
