Triumph Daytona: Oil May Leak From Shock Absorber And Reduce Effectiveness Of Rear Suspension
Triumph is recalling 806 Daytona and Speed Triple motorcycles because the rear shock absorber may have a loose piston-shaft nut that can cause oil to leak and reduce suspension damping over time. This defect can gradually affect how the motorcycle handles. Triumph will replace the rear suspension unit on affected machines.
