Speed Triple 1050


icon15 Sep 2006 17:01
I have not yet received a recall notice & have had no problems in 15000 miles.
However I would like to know why the recall is being made.
Having just refitted the rear wheel after installing new pads & tyre, the following occurred to me -
The wheel nut is very tight (146Nm torque) & requires a breaker bar or power tool to remove it. If the rear brake is locked on to stop the wheel from turning & the breaker bar is stamped on to release a stubborn nut, the dynamic (shock) load transferred to the restraint pin could well be enough to crack or even shear the pin completely.
My advice would be to not use undue force & avoid the use of scaffolding poles & power tools when removing the nut.
The same applies to the opposite nut which has to be removed to grease the wheel bearings at the 12000 miles service.

Was just on the VOSA site and according to the recalls bit 1050 Speed Triples & Sprint STs have a recall going back to June 06 which states rear brake stop bolt/anti rotation device may shear.

I've heard nothing from Triumph or my dealer on this and it's been in for work three time since then so I guess it's not showing up on the dealers computer.

Anyone know the score?

If it's a recall then you should get a letter. If it's a service action then it should automatically get done FOC at point of service. If in doubt ask your dealer to check with Triumph 49

I had this recall done, just after getting a new bike (Sept '08).

The rear linkage was removed, checked, re-greased and put back in...

If it does have a likelihood of failing, replacing the old would have made more sense.

Oh well.
