Emailed Gill, let's see if we get a response, also copied to BIKE magazine and MCN..
Hi
Having sent an email to Gill on the 28/06/2008 and not getting a response, I wondered if you had forgotten about it hence my email today. I have established through the internet that I am not on my own when my Triumph motorcycle is blowing the igniter. I have had to replace my bike due to the fact that it has had 3 replacements in 4 years, surely this is not normal.
I am a member of “Bonnevilleamerica.com†and find that there are a lot of people with the same problem, with some of them experiencing the same problem and having to replace the igniter 3 times, is this something to do with the engine being a 270 degree firing, as the 360 degree Bonneville ‘s seem to have no problems..
I also find that Triumph are just replacing these until the warranty runs out then it is down to the customer to replace the igniter. Can you shed any light on why these units are going down.
Thank you
Mr R Birch
