RE: [ST] Quick Connector



Sorry, but "thicker/stronger" plastic?  I'd just go ahead and immediately
replace them with the metal ones.  If I had know about this earlier, I would
have changed to metal as soon as I bought the motorcycle whether or not it's
under warranty. $100 is worth the extra safety so nobody ends up like Colin
Edwards (ablaze), and I doubt Triumph would void the warranty for such a
minor change that actually increases safety.

I was just talking to the guys at the Triumph dealer around here yesterday -
they say that Triumph has made the new connectors with a little bit
thicker/stronger plastic.  So I would say that Triumph is aware of the
problem.  Whether this solves it......?

Lot's of ppl I've heard of have around here have had failures with the fuel
line quick connectors on the Sprint.  I myself had one fail whilst I was
riding

that resulted in gas pouring over the back of the hot motor onto the hot
exhaust!

 Surely this is dangerous, has anyone been incinerated yet?  If anything
warrants

a recall that item surely does, anyone know if one is in the pipes, or is
Triumph

trying to pretend it's not as problem?  I'm about to purchase my third brand

new Sprint and that particular problem is the only thing that would sway me

away from buying what is otherwise a near perfect machine.

Cheers,
Mick.
