2025 Rocket 3GT Storm
I purchased this Triumph Rocket 3 GT Storm on, 8/14/2024 - I really enjoy It's rapid acceleration and handling.
I only have about 350 miles on it. And already, I'm having an number of fault lights and problems including faulty ignition switch . Engine management (MIL), ABS and traction control (TC ) in addition an annoying brake squeak that will not go away. For the money, this is unacceptable , especially since these are not difficult fixes.
I understand that every motorcycle has to go through it's fair share of bugs and problems - but less than 400 miles and I'm constantly running to the dealership - they must be getting tired of me, always showing up with a new problem.
For the record , I do enjoy riding my Rocket Storm - I rode a Valkyrie for 20 years and only saw the dealership for routine service... I'm beginning to believe ,I made a horrible and very expensive mistake.
You just can't trust most of the reviews you see posted on YouTube.
Some complaints are as mentioned above are : faulty MIL, TC, ABS, Ignition switch, squeaky brake .
Things that make for unpleasant riding experience are: hard suspension and burning-hot air blowing on my right foot
at moderate speed.
I'm heading to the dealership this weekend to have my Rocket 3 storm checked out - I will keep you posted.
I thank you all for the opportunity to share my experience.

Great bike. Hope dealer sorts it all out for you.
 
Beautiful bike, hope your dealer can sort it all out. The technicians make all of the difference. I have my 2023 GT for almost a year and it doesn't have any issues.
 
BTW my '25 R Storm has 7,000 km on it now, and been flawless. Dealer is great too, though my brother is a mechanic there and they treat me very well.

Good for you - my brother is a makeup artist.... this is my fate.
I'm happy your Storm experience is way better than mine. .. hopefully my luck will turn for the better.
I'll keep you updated.
 
For the record I dont have a R3 yet but I just wanted to put in my 2 cents. I hope they figure out your problem but i wonder if you just got a lemon. it happens perhaps they would swap it with another just to keep you happy. Also is the hot air from the exhaust pipes or from the engine, just curious.
 
The hot air is coming directly from the exhaust manifold next to the right side footpeg... three pipes, the one closest to the footpeg ... I just can't ride in sneakers and snorts anymore.
I love riding my rocket, so boots and jeans are absolutely necessary riding gear .
Appreciate your concern. .
I will know shortly, if this is just a minor tweak or a something more ominous.. fingers crossed .

Lol! "my brother is a makeup artist.... this is my fate".
Yes, let us know how it goes.
 
Welcome to the forum from the UK.
I hope you get the 'quality' issues resolved before you hand it to your brother to fix
Fingers crossed you have a good dealer who takes your custom seriously. It can make a world of difference when they do.
I would guess that everything but your hot leg can be resolved in the hands of a good factory trained technician......well actually even the hot leg can be fixed by opting for the mid-peg conversion.
