I literally had the same exact issue and located the exact same bolt attaching the Busbar to the battery. I have since replaced the bolt with a shorter battery specific bolt and all errors have gone away. It seems like the incorrect bolt is a fairing bolt or something. Definitely not the correct bolt for a battery.

I'm getting the same faults intermittently on my 1200 RR, so I'm curious to see if this solves the issue. Thanks for posting.

 

Had some a very similar issues with my 2022. I’ve taken possession of the bike in mid august and rode alot to do the break in. The bike was a charm and no issue until 900km. During that last ride i got intermittent « battery system fault » warning. Followed instantly by a « check engine » and bike going into "limp" mode. No transmission fault. The battery fault only popped while riding. While at stand still only the check engine stayed. I decided to check on the battery and found out that the battery omnibus bar was loose. The screw holding it in the positive terminal was too long. After correcting the screws on the battery the «battery system fault » was fixed but the bike was still in "limp" mode. Got the bike to my dealer and they said the check engine and "limp" mode was caused by the exhaust valve servos. They replaced it on warranty but they couldn’t remove the « limp » mode. 🤔 The bike have no error code they said and the tech can’t find what cause the « limp » mode. They spoke with Triumph HQ, made multiples update and reprogramming with no success i’ve been told. Has i am writting, my dealer is waiting for a reply from Triumph about what to do next. I wonder if the loose connection could have made a electrical break in the ECU or something like this???

 

@Hellbound_ronin Not sure, but I recall reading one or two in the forum having issues with codes that couldn't be cleared at all. I certainly see it being possible that loose electrical connection to the battery could cause an ECU fault. I bet if they replaced the ECU completely the bike would be fine!

I fried the ECU on my GTI by dropping my ratchet well tightening a battery terminal, which bridged the battery to the aluminum chassis of the ECU, lol. That was a sad day that cost me $1700.

@Hiz Triple RR Was it the battery terminal, or something else?

 

@Lopez0101 The issue was the OEM servo motor. Once I installed the updated Healtech unit (w/the pink square), the issue was resolved.

 

I had the bottomed too long bolt/ not secured pos. battery cable also on 22 RR. No fault codes though as it showed up as dead battery symptom at 225 miles. Luckily the salesman had shown me where to find the tool to unfasten the seat. I checked for loose wires first thing, and was next to a hardware store so I bought a wrench for the battery bolt. I was surprised when it would not tighten, thought maybe it was stripped. Nope! Went back to the hardware store to buy a washer, shaking my head the whole time.

 

@3triples Either techs moving faster than their brains at several dealers, or Triumph is shipping the battery with 3 loose bolts and the techs aren't realizing the 2 are one size and 1 is longer...

 

This is a new one to me, wow lol. Yeah that bolt looks longer than the typical lug bolt that comes with the batteries I've bought. I'll place this issue next to "convex oil filter mating face bottoms out and leaves gap and leaks".

 

Ohh I have the same problem

 

I had the same problem. New bike 200 miles. But the bolts were the correct ones. Suddenly the screen says Battery failure, traction failure, abs failure, check and it loose power. The dealer fix the servo too. Does anybody received a certain diagnostic of what is the problem beside the bolts.

 

Wow, exact the same issue here. Mine is a Speed Triple 2023 1200 RR. It is 4 months old and 2700 km. Issue started with the battery, then engine, then transmission, then abs/suspension warning. One after the other on my way to work. I turned around and went straight to the dealership, which was close by. On my way there I started getting high temperature warning: coolant was boiling and shooting out from reservoir's expelling tube. I think radiator's fan didn't kick in. I left motorcycle in dealership this afternoon. I was just 10 min away when all this happened. I will talk to them tomorrow and mention this battery connector/bolt issue.

 

sounds like more than one problem. The cooling fan getting too hot and stopping and causing overheating is a recall issue; they add a heat shield on the fan for that.

 

Well, in my case I think the fan did not start, causing the overheating. The dealership was closed yesterday, and is closed today (Monday). My understanding is that the instabilities in the battery connection is impacting the ECU and preventing it from doing its job, with is tell the radiator fan to run. I will reply here when I head from the dealership. 👍

 

Just got motorcycle back from International Motorsports (Triumph) dealership here in Vancouver/Canada. Issue fixed! It was indeed just the bad battery connection messing with the computer and creating all kinds of warning that prevented the bike from operating properly. 🙌 Phew!

 

And another bad battery connection. I feel like Triumph needs a TSB about this for dealer techs that don't pay attention...

All brands the dealers are the ones that install the battery at delivery ... it's a service dept issue.

 

Sure, but the issue seems specific to this model for some reason.

 

I had exact the same problem. I think the dealer made a mismatch of 2 screws. The both short 8 mm belong to the battery and the long 12 mm belongs to the busbar/ cable connection. Did anybody had to replace damaged hardware as a result of this failure?

 

I didn't need to replace anything.

 

Does anybody know if TuneECU excecutes the servo motor test while there is an active "transmission fault"? Or in other words: does the exhaust valve move when you start up the bike and the fault is active? Here's a photo of the valve with removed cover at stand still:

 

not sure what it does what it does while there is a stored fault, but you could loosen the cable lock nuts to see if the valve is stuck. There is a recall for the servo motor i think.

 

I already did completly loose both cable lock nuts and released both from the valve. Then I started the ECU: same reaction, I get the same fault. P0475. The valve in the exhaust can be moved easy.
The Speed Triple will be at the Triumph shop tomorrow.

At least Triumph is aware of this flaw.

edit: I guess you read this.

 

Triumph told me that the servo motor of the exhaust valve has to be replaced. Waiting for updates. I asked if I could get the faulty motor to have a look at it. We'll see.

 

it would be great to diagnose that servo to see if they are reparable for future out of warranty issues. My California Manual states noise control parts only have 1year warranty, while emissions parts are to five years or 18,641 miles. Makes sense why Triumph used a cheap one if it is not covered under emission warranty.
