Recall for 2020 Rocket 3 Rear Brake

[tino19625]

GREAT information on the ABS, just had my 10k service. Brakes [rear] bleed for 3rd time... the comment was they'll have to "just keep bleeding" which is unacceptable! I'll be calling them on Tuesday [next business day] to tell them the "fix"!

Additionally, I installed a DNK re-map and thought that would become a warranty issue, but not a word said by them. They DID put some update on because my DNK map was definitely not present when I left [VERY noticeable difference]... purely informational about voiding warranty with re-map. With this new news about ABS, I'll wait on installing the map again until this is sorted out...

Thanks!

Just some additional info, the ABS replacement was Triumph's suggestion, not the dealer, so if the dealer gives you trouble, I would suggest calling Triumph directly and explaining the situation.

Yeah, get it in before warranty is up. BUT they have your service records and know it's been an issue so you should be good either way.

they really need to stop the madness with this and get it fixed, document the fix [the real one] and move on - great bike with silly issue that could be lethal IF you really needed to brake hard in an emergency - hope it IS the last time for you, bro

I finally got fed up with the brake going soft after it had been bleed at dealer. I purchased dealertool program which gives access to ABS system via laptop and bleed brake myself. Initially there were numerous very small bubbles. After bubbles cleared I kept bleeding for around 5 minutes and all of a sudden a large bubble appeared in the tube (about 40mm long), bleed a bit more. My rear brake has been good ever since.

How long ago did you do this? Awesome if resolved and dealers should learn a lesson from you!
