Triumph Bonneville America, Speedmaster: Electrical
Affects Triumph Bonneville America, Speedmaster · 2002–2004 — about 221 vehicles.
The hazard
On certain motorcycles, the electrical power supply cable to the starter motor may come into direct contact with the oil cooler return pipe. In time, this may cause the insulation on the starter to degrade. Should the starter motor cable insulation become worn, a 12-volt electrical short would occur, increasing the risk of a fire. Correction: Dealers will re-position the cable.
