From date of purchase, 3/23/05, new, leftover 2004, transmission has been difficult to shift. Noted on first service record, 4/21/05. On may 4, 2005 I asked my father to take a test ride. He has been riding bikes for 30+ years.
The red nylon fuel connector on bottom of tank has completely snapped off and failed. Bike was in garage and when I went to start the engine I smelled gas so with further investigation I found the fuel line to the bottom of the tank was completely failed.
Tl* the contact owns a 2004 triumph daytona 600. The contact stated that the vehicle was equipped with a fuel quick connect, which connects the fuel line to the fuel tank, and the quick connect would detach from the vehicle at any time. The dealer was not notified.
Consumer took vehicle to dealer for recall repairs, and left it with the dealer. Then, consumer was told that dealer trying to get instructions on how to put the fuel connector on the bike. Nhtsa recall 04v156000.
My 2004 triumph daytona 600, without warning, at freeway speed, came out of gear and the transmission self destructed. This caused me to have to coast to a stop on the freeway, at great danger to myself and other motorists. This is a very unsafe vehicle.
