i HAVE 4500 MILES ON MY 02 BONN.AMER. AN NEVER HAVE HAD A PROBLEM UNTIL A FEW WEEKS AGO. BIKE STARTED RUNNING BAD !!!LOCAL MECHANIC TRIED EVERYTHING HE KNEW AN THOUGHT IT MIGHT BE A COIL. HE DID NOT HAVE THE TOOLS TO CHECK COIL AN SUGGESTED I GO AHEAD AN INSTALL TWO NEW COILS. I DECIDED TO TAKE TO DEALER WHICH IS 31/2 HOURS AWAY. LEFT BIKE THERE FOR TWO WEEKS AN THEN GOT A CALL THAT MY BIKE WAS READY. YES IT WAS ONE BAD COIL. TRIUMPH ALSO COVERED THE COIL UNDER WARRANTY ALTHOUGH THE BIKE IS OVER TWO YEARS OLD.I DO NOT UNDERSTAND BUT WAS VERY GLAD. I HAD ALREADY SPENT $120.00 JUST GETTING IT CHECKED OUT.
I WISH WE HAD A TRIUMPH DEALER IN MYRTLE BEACH, S.C. WHERE I LIVE. WE JUST HAD A NEW VICTORY DEALER OPEN LAST MONTH. WE NOW HAVE EVERY MOTORCYCLE DEALER REPRESENTED HERE EXCEPT TRIUMPH. IF ANYTHING ELSE HAPPENS TO MY BIKE I JUST HATE TO TRAVEL THE 14 TOTAL HOURS TO GET IT FIXED. PLEASE OPEN TRIUMPH DEALERSHIP IN MYRTLE BEACH, SURFSIDE BEACH, NORTH MYRTLE BEACH AREA. I AM NOW RETIRED OR I WOULD OPEN UP ONE MYSELF. I OWNED A CAR LOT FOR 25 YEARS AN JUST ENJOY RIDING MY BONN. NOW.
I THINK TRIUMPH IS A GOOD BIKE BUT THEY ARE HAVING SOME PROBLEMS WITH THE COILS. I HAVE HEARD OF SEVERAL PEOPLE ON THE WEB SITE COMPLAINING ABOUT THIS TROUBLE. SO IF YOU DO HAVE A SICK BIKE PLEASE CHECK THE COILS. THEY MAY BE FIRING BUT IF THEY ARE FIRING WEAK THE BIKE WILL NOT RUN RIGHT.
GOOD RIDING !!!!!
