The plastic fuel tank on my bike is swelling visibly. On line others on the triumph forum are also complaining of this. Probably due to ethanol in the fuel. I am concerned the tank will swell until rupture and them possibly a fire. *tr
Front brakes are losing effectiveness after two months of normal use. Front brake lever travel has increased to the point that i am unable to generate enough braking force in an emergency stop situation. Problem is persistent and ongoing. *jb
