TES Malfunction After Service

[Ernest T]

My Trophy has a three month old battery and has started fine since I installed it.  When I went to pick it up after the 20k service, the battery was flat--the dealer ran it down doing some part of the service.  They jump started it and now I have a TES malfunction and the windscreen won't go up or down. They said it was caused by the dead battery and the ride home should fix it.  They also admit the screen was going up and down and there was no TES malfunction when I brought it in.  I rode it home, about 20 miles, and now it starts, but I still have the TES malfunction and a inop wind screen.  I called the dealer and they told me to put it on a battery charger overnight and see if it would fix the issue.  I don't really think that's going to fix it.

I suppose the TES malfunction light story is believable (but doubtful) but I  find it hard to believe the windshield would remain inoperative.  Perhaps a fuse associated with the windshield is blown?  Why didn't the dealer do a reset on the TES?

Out of curiosity, which dealer do you use for service?
My original dealer got out of the Triumph brand all together and my next closest dealer is Lone Star in Austin.

I would not have left the dealers until they had put the bike back as it was when you brought it in. If that meant using a new battery then they should have given you a new battery

I took it back this morning and the Triumph tech, who was not there when I picked up the bike, got it fixed quickly. The ECM wasn't communicating with the TES. He also said someone had left the key on and that's why the battery was dead.  He apologized for the condition of the bike when I picked it up. I've had issues with the dealer before, but they are good people and make it right. They did the 20k service free as compensation for messing up the Cylinder head TSB.

Killeen power sports. I bought my bike used in Odessa. It was purchased in Midland so there used to be a Triumph dealer there.

If that included adjusting the valves then that was a pretty good comp

It did, the bill was almost $500.
