Soft rear brake after recall

[stingray]

Everyone should speak up and file another NHTSA report. That's the only way to get it resolved. It's the only reason they've been forced into the ineffective recalls to replace the rear master cylinder (which did not fix the issue). Triumph has danced around buying them back so far. Watch this model get dropped after this run.

It hasn't been very long since I had the rear master cylinder recall done and it's already back to the soft pedal again on first pump. It pumps up quicker and hasn't failed, but I don't think the air intrusion problem has been fully resolved. Just be sure to pump them up real good, like you should, before heading out.

It is a disgrace. A real safety issue. I wonder if it has killed or injured anyone. I also had the recall carried out, got on the bike today and no rear brake at all.

It's funny I didn't have the soft break issue. I take my bike in for the 10k service and they did the recall and now i have the stupid soft rear break issue.

My recall was done November 2024 and the brakes have been fine ever since. The tech spent over an hour on the procedure and did an excellent job. Could the issues you are having come from the replacement procedure?

The recall DID NOT FIX the problem. I'll have to bleed mine again just to get an inspection sticker. Front brake also. It can't be the Brembo components as the same ones are used on other bikes without the issues. This brake system is badly engineered and very unsafe. All the air collects in the ABS module (high point of system) Take a ride through the mountains and tell me how it is OK.

I guess I lucked out and have had no problem since the rear brake recall.

It has a rear brake?

I had the brake recall done and it has been great ever since.

My thoughts, the install of the new master cylinder and bleeding process were not done correctly.

Funny how it worked fine for a few months, then went to soft again. I just got a pump to reverse bleed them so will see if it helps. I hate to even think about letting Triumph service ever touch it again.

You must have had a bad experience.
My shop sent their tech to Triumph for specific training on the Rocket 2.5L . I have more confidence here.
