Description of the problem | Seems i have the issue many other are having with the front brakes on my triumph thruxton r in that i have to "double pump" the brake lever to actually get a good solid braking feel and action. After double pumping the brake lever i get the solid braking i should have for maybe 10 secs after using the front brake. Then the brake lever loses its feel and i have to double pump the lever again. I have taken my bike in for a annual inspection, which i mentioned the braking issue and they acknowledged it is a problem and would remedy it. After the service, which included a brake fluid flush and bleed the issue returned a few days later. Clearly there is a major malfunctioning component that triumph knows about but is refusing to replace and from my research this is in issue on all recent triumph models that have brembo front brake components. I have gotten use to this issue but in an emergency situation, i fear i may not be able to brake in the manner that is need and could result in a serious accident. |
