  • Triumph Recalls bikes globally and in India: xBhp News

    Triumph Motorcycles has recalled motorcycles due to an issue with the stock Ohlins.



    The Daytona 675R and Speed Triple R built between Jan 1st 2014 and April 1st 2015, the rear shock absorber manufactured by Ohlins might be faulty and would need to be replaced.

    In India Triumph Motorcycles have contacted the customers affected by the problem. 34 Daytona 675R owners have been contacted for the recall, since the Speed Triple R is not sold in India. The problem is that the nut on the damper rod of the rear shock absorber might loosen over time and cause serious problems. The entire shock assembly might even come loose and cause a crash.

    Once upon a time, a guy asked a girl 'Will you marry me?'
    The girl said, 'NO!'


    And the guy lived happily ever after and rode motorcycles and watched sport on a big screen TV, went fishing and surfing, and played golf a lot, and drank beer and scotch and had tons of money in the bank and left the toilet seat up and farted whenever he wanted.


    THE END

        It appears to be a global issue with Ohlins for sometime now, it seems. Some days back, there was a news of Yamaha's new R1M getting recalled due to the problem with Ohlins shockers. And very recently (like 2-3 days back) there's a news about Honda's CBR1000SP getting recalled.. again due to the problems with Ohlins shockers. What's up Ohlins!!

            Out of curiousity, Usually we have seen sales representative noting down the Engine and Chassis number. If such shock absorbers do come with a batch number and a part number, how do they correlate with the vehicle into which they have been installed and how do they identify the faulty vehicle.

            A batch of faulty units can be identified, since they are all mass produced, but to which bike is the product installed, is there any tracking ??

            Sorry for asking such a question.

              Because these specific model Ohlins shocks are designed to manufacturer's specs and they go onto the bikes straight from factory.
