What owners report
Short excerpts of NHTSA complaints in the original wording. These are owner statements not verified by NHTSA; personal data removed.
While traveling at approximately 55 mph under normal road conditions, the rear tire experienced a sudden and catastrophic failure. I felt the tire fail first, followed by an immediate loss of stability. The tire split down the center of the tread without warning.
After getting the bike back I still noticed some surging but nothing as severe as what happened on march 27th. After the crash I did some studying of triumph throttle issues and asked the shop to replace my throttle control sensor.
