Quote: The CDI and ignition coils are sub-standard on the America and Speedmaster. Not one bit of money has been spent by Triumph to make them 1- cheaper or 2- more dependable. There is no replacement aftermarket. If you have a failure on the road it will more than likely be electrical.
Many also hate the rain and stop running as they are not well sealed electrical systems.
I havent had either one of those problems. My bike lives outside and is going through its fourth winter.
