It isn't if you have that extra bump on the back of the primary. Triumph redesigned the cases to make that stronger. I have 2 bikes with the weaker case and no safe start and both are fine. The mistake it seems mostly causes the breakage is giving the engine gas during start and the kick back that can happen then. Just choke and crank with a well tuned engine and seems no issue.


I learned all I need to know about life by killing smart people and eating their brains.
