There appears to be a drop in the number of posts related to engines cutting out and running only on one cylinder. We still get the odd one but these are usually related to the older models. Has Triumph done something to the newer Speedys and Americas to help eliminate this problem? Any comments! 12 Rocket Roadster 03 Bonneville America 69 BSA Firebird Scrambler 73 Yamaha TX 750

Have not seen as many on the newer bikes. Then again from that little poll we only have about 10% of our population here with newer than a 2010. Maybe they changed it. It does seem less frequent. I try to aggravate one person a day. Today may be your day.

I just assumed they had fixed whatever the defect was. 05 speedmaster - 1100cc, 11:1 racing pistons, Carillo rods, thunderbike cams, ported and polished head, 2mm over intake and exhaust valves, Barnett kevlar clutch, scepter pipes, oversize manifolds, 45mm HSR's, TTP stage 4 firestarter
