Recent 2019 Triumph Speed Triple RS complaints

Owner reports filed with NHTSA, as written (personal details removed). Complaints are not verified by NHTSA.

Service Brakes · reported Aug 30, 2024
Motorcycle brakes on the front require being double pumped in order to work properly. Vehicle has been in twice for the concern and the issue persists
Service Brakes · at 1,100 miles · reported Nov 6, 2020
The brake system on this motorcycle is brembo master and calipers and always requires a pump of the lever to provide pressure. This seems immune to bleeding as it is a known issue with the caliper pistons. Triumph is aware of the problem but has no remedy for the issue other than continuing to bleed the system in an attempt to fix the issue to no avail. This is concerning as emergency braking requires a firm lever on the first pull which is not possible currently.
