WHILE TRAVELING ON THE FREEWAY AT 60MPH, MY REGULATOR/RECTIFIER QUITE WORKING CAUSING THE ENGINE LOST COMPLETE POWER. I WAS FORCED TO PULL OVER AND CROSS 3 LAND OF HEAVY TRAFFIC AVOIDING AND MANAGED TO AVOID GETTING HIT SEVERAL TIMES. *TR AFTER CALLING SEVERAL DEALERS, I TOLD THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM AND THAT EVEN BRAND NEW MOTORCYCLES HAVE COME BACK WITH THIS SAME ISSUE, BUT ARE FIXED ONLY TO COME BACK 7K MILES LATE WITH THE SAME REGULATOR/RECTIFIER PROBLEM. I DID SOME INVESTIGATION AND FOUND OUT THOUGH A WEB BLOG CALLED TRIUMPH675.NET THAT THIS IS A VERY COMMON PROBLEM WITH BIKES MOTORCYCLES. APPARENTLY THE LOCATION OF THE REGULATOR/RECTIFIER IS TOO CLOSE THE ENGINE, HEATING THE REGULATOR/RECTIFIER AND ULTIMATELY AFFECTING IT'S LIFESPAN OF THE PART. SOME EVEN HAVE CAUSED ELECTRICAL SHORTS AND SETTING THE MOTORCYCLES ON FIRE. ( SEE YOUTUBE VIDEOS ON LINE RE: 675 TRIUMPH ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS ) THIS IS A PREVALENT PROBLEM THAT IS AFFECTING NEW AND USED BIKE WITH LOW MILES. SOME OWNERS HAVE STATED THAT THEY HAVE REPLACED THIS PART NOT JUST ONCE BUT TWICE. AT A COST OF $200 EACH TIME, ONCE CAN ONLY IMAGINE THE HOW PROFITABLE THIS RAPIDITY FALLING PART BE. THE PROBLEM IS SO PREVALENT THAT A 3RD PART COMPANY HAS DEVELOPED WHO SELLS A KIT THAT ALLEVIATES THIS ISSUE.

I WAS AT A RED-LIGHT AND MY GAS LIGHT CAME ON, AS I WENT TO GO WHEN THE LIGHT TURNED GREEN THE BIKE STUTTERED AND SLOWLY WENT. THE GAS LIGHT WENT OFF IN ABOUT A 1/2 MILE, I WAS GOING TO PULL INTO A GAS STATION RIGHT AFTER THE NEXT LIGHT I CAME TO AND THEN MY GAS LIGHT CAME BACK ON ALONG WITH THE OIL LIGHT AND CHECK ENGINE LIGHT, THE BIKES RPMS DROPPED AND SHUT OFF. THERE WAS A CAR COMING UP FAST BEHIND ME THAT WAS NOT PAYING ATTENTION AND ALMOST HIT ME AND STARTED HONKING THEIR HORN AT ME. I THEN HAD TO RUN MY BIKE ACROSS A BUSY ROAD DURING MEMORIAL DAY WEEKEND. MY RECTIFIER BURNED, MY STATOR BURNED AND MY BATTERY IS DEAD. ALL VERY EXPENSIVE PARTS THAT NEED TO BE REPLACED THAT HAPPENS TO EVERY DAYTONA OWNER! THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE WITH ALL TRIUMPH DAYTONA 675 OWNERS! *TR
Triumph is recalling certain model year 2006-2009 Street Triple, Street Triple R, and Daytona 675 motorcycles. The regulator/rectifier can overheat and prevent the motorcycle from charging. Once the battery is fully discharged, the motorcycle may stall.
Consequence & remedy
Consequence: If the motorcycle stalls, there is an increased risk of a crash leading to personal injury.
Remedy: Triumph will notify owners, and dealers will inspect and replace the regulator/rectifier, free of charge. The safety recall is expected to begin on, or before October 12, 2012. Owners may contact Triumph customer service department at 1-678-854-2010.
