Seen on the Tiger800 forum somebodys rectifier went awol blew everything and done the ECU for good measure. Just seeing if there is anything to look out for like that on our bikes.

I have a buddy with a Tiger 12 that did the same, or very similar. Took months to get the bike back up and running.

Wow !. I would have thought with clever modern electronics that the ECU would have some protection from this.

Well the older I get the more things stay the same. Triumphs with electrical problems. They have had forever to figure that shit out. I don’t know 50 60 years. :(
I get that but we were making the electronics back then Triumph must be using the same stuff as everyone else now.

I’ve never heard of this issue happening to a Super Ténéré, nor any other modern bike.

Unreliability /total system failure is not a feature. It’s one hell of a inconvenience and later after your warranty goes an expense. That’s no way to live. At least for me.

My buddy with the Tiger wasn't really able to tell me what happened, 'cuz he didn't really understand it. But it was electrical, and he was told that it was pretty common. It took quite a while to get the part and bike fixed. And this was way before Covid, so supply chain issues weren't to blame. On the bright side, he's never had another problem with the bike since.

Glad I sold my Triumph. Although i would say the paintwork was way better than the S10. It's more durable for our weather ( if you can call it that )
