| I have owned a 2005 triumph speed triple motorcycle for several months now. the front brakes have a dangerous problem which clearly is a problem. over fairly short period of time the brakes become progressively mushy. this is not normal by any means in this time period. the brakes do not consistently stop at the same point when pulling in the lever and continue to get worse until a temp fix is done and the process starts over. currently triumph is declining to even do the temp fix for me while many others have had it done! triumph calls this progressive feel. this is not a feature. it is a problem. i have experienced the inconsistency in near crashes when i had to pull the lever farther than i expected to brake, only to stop within a foot of a vehicle who turned in front of me. it is dangerous and scary. if someone has not died yet because of it, they will. people are replacing these brakes themselves and solving the issue. these bikes are under warranty and triumph should take responsibility for what is indeed a problem. *nm | |||

| Brake lever travel is inconsistent. this allows for the lever to hit the handle bar thus preventing the brake from working properly. *nm | |||

| Too much brake lever travel , associated with a decrease in brake responsiveness or 'bite. dealer has bled the brakes of air , respond that it is a known issue with no fix , problem returned shortly after being serviced. *nm | |||

| Brakes have excessive travel in the lever for the front brake. braking works but the reaction slows over time. *nm | |||

| The front brakes are chronically mushy. they do stop the bike, but the lever travel is excessive. they have corrected the issue on newer bikes with different hardware but will do nothing more than labor service on my 2005 bike that is still under warranty. *jb | |||

| I drove with at a very low speed (about 22 mph), when the frame of my brand new triumph speed triple (2 months old, driven about 1,300 miles) broke parallel on both sides. i lost control over the bike and crashed into a bus. i was seriously injured (broken scapula, torn ligament at the left foot) and still under medical treatment, after 4 months! an expertise revealed that the frame definitely broke before the accident! triumph pretends that this is the first case of a broken frame - i got notice of another frame incident last month in germany where the frame broke at exactly the same place. my bike is totaled and triumph is not willing to pay for anything!*jb | |||
