![]() Ĭheck you kickstand magnets before you go ride people, and be gentle with your stand, dont just kick your kickstand up ,but rather gently raise it up into position with your foot thereby keeping it from slapping up and losing the magnet. As Tsmgguy stated triumphs fix for this had already been applied so the fix is not really a fix, they just hoping it,ll last long enough to make it out of warranty, ,I just hope everyone becomes familiar with this problem. I,m also really tempted to just bypass the whole thing with the shrink wrap magnets to the sensor and tuck the sensor in under the seat or side cover, bypassing the whole overkill saftey issue. i was thinking of doing just that but it such a tiny magnet and such close tolerance that it would be impossible to do, I,m gonna call the dealer about warranty work, it still needs the fuel harness recall done so i,ll combine that with the repair, I,m heading back to the scene of the crime to try and find this tiny magnet, just because ,it has to be there. ![]() Thanks for chiming in here Forchetto, I,m with you on the bolt on solution. some pics posted below of my emergency magnet set up. ![]() find yourself s some tiny magnets, always carry duct tape and no kicking your kick stand, great fit and Finnish, way to go triumph. I wonder if there is a work around for this unnecessary safety feature that has the potential to strand you. at first i stuck the tiny magnets to the 2 screws that hold the sensor to the frame and still that dident work, so i positioned the magnets side by side and then secured them over the entire face os the sensor with duct tape, i also had to make a big ball of tape and tape that to the frame where the kickstand rests against or the stand would knock the magnets out of place, So long story short i road the bike home, now i need a replacement magnet that i cant find the part number for, a new kickstand assembly is 150 bucks, does anyone have the part number for this tiny magnet i can just epoxy it back in.Īlso if anybody says "outstanding fit and Finnish " again i,ll kill them, lol, with all the electrical problems triumph messed up on these new bikes. fortunately a friend i was with had some small refrigerator type magnets at his house and we were only 30 miles away so i stayed with the bike and he went and came back with the magnets, fortunately i always carry some duct tape with me in my tail bag. ,tried rolling it then starting it, tried skipping first and start in second, no way was i getting this thing home, contemplated calling for a tow, and was like ,all i need is a dam magnet. My 2016 street twin on todays fathers day ride, suddenly would die as soon as i put it in gear, Thankfully i new right away "after reading about it happening to someone else here on the forums" what it was. Well i,ve read it here in earlier posts but thought, that wont happen to me, but it did.
