Description of the problem | Engine develops a high erratic idle up to 3000 rpms at will no matter what gear and what speed. I have to stand on the breaks to keep it at 55 mph in high gear. At low speed the motor is running at idle rpm's that are above normal operating speeds which makes it a runaway motor and dangerous to control some times the rpm is so high at low speeds when i let off the clutch it spins the tire as it leaps forward. Try riding with any vehicle stuck in high rpm and it will kill someone!!! The date is when i took it to triumph this started this spring in february at daytona and has got so much worse i can not safely it will end up causing injuries if not death. |
