OK...a longish story but moderately amusing ( to a degree ).
Bought the TROPHY this past January -- have been super pleased with NO problems whatsoever. Left Monday
( with about 7600 total miles ) on a 230 mile ride to visit my wife's family. Five miles from my destination ( turning left at a light ) the engine abruptly cut off. Thanks to my location it was no problem to coast the bike to an empty parking lot. Bike would not restart ( though electrics were strong).
Got a ride from a family member and went to supper. Came back roughly 45 minutes later whereupon the
bike promptly restarted. Rode to my destination but noticed a dash warning light I had not noticed before.
Manual tells me that the steady light I see is the engine malfunction light and that I am now in "limp home
mode." You can read all about on p. 27 of the manual.
The next morning I started the bike without trouble but noticed that the engine malfunction light was still
lit. Decided I needed to find out just what I was up against.
My location is middle Georgia with the nearest TRIUMPH dealer approximately 140 miles away. Tuesday morning
I call several different dealers to be told that the light simply means I would running the bike at less than full
power and that doing so should not be a problem. One sounded certain this was the case; the others a bit less
so.
So...lacking either a truck or a trailer I figured I had no choice but to ride the bike to the nearest dealer.
The next morning ( today to be precise ), I cranked the bike at 9:00 and GUESS WHAT! No engine malfunction
light -- overnight the bike had cured itself! All that was necessary was my tossing and turning and worrying
about it all night long.
Bottom line: the 230 mile ride back home to Charleston, SC, was a delight -- cool weather, less traffic than
expected . . . and all on a very modern, very up-to-date machine that repairs itself. What more could you ask?
