It's the battery, maybe a bad batt or a weak stator/RR, but the bike is cutting out to save the sprag. That's my .02

Makes sense, thanks Joe

Started right up this morning, trip and clock had reset itself too

[Joe Houle]

I just got off the phone with Triumph America. I was kind of right I guess, but wrong. The tech is telling me that at 10.3v the ECU will shut down and then restart itself.

During labored cranking(extended cranking, or cold cranking) the starter is drawing enough to drop it down that low, causing the ECU to restart, thus stopping the starting sequence.

Before you replaced your battery, I would try charging it up overnight on a full size charger(not battery tender) that desulfates. It may read fine with a multimeter, but not discharging to capacity as its supposed to..

the trip and clock resetting tells me ur battery is the bad guy here. Regardless, get the fooking cable!

Joe, you are a superstar! I ordered the cable last night :-)

I have had on and off problems like this for over a year.

Rat, what cable did you order? I am dying for a solution. I have had it to 3 different shops and nobody can figure it out.

Tuning cable to load the tune of death.

I have the same problem. Lost my tender and left the bike sitting ffor a ccouple months. Battery didnt like that. Ordered a new one yesterday.

Just google tuneECU cable, it'll pop up what you need. Download the program and drivers, don't use the one that comes with the disk. Takes about 15 min

So, today speedie wouldn't start after work for the 2nd time. Both times it has rained for most of the day. Everything turns on fine, lights, dash, ecu but when I hit the starter....row row row spoosh. Is my sprag ****ing up?
Now, the first time, it fired right up the next morning after being in our work garage
Any ideas cunts?

Does it sound anything like this?
