Two words you never want to see anywhere near each other in a sentence are "engine" and "failure." And yet, unfortunately, that's one possible outcome of an issue that Triumph Motorcycles America is currently recalling all of its 2024 and 2025 Daytona 660s for.
According to existing factory records, all 2024 and 2025 Daytona 660s may have insufficient lubrication within their crankshafts and bearings. Under the specific circumstances of aggressive deceleration causing air to enter the oil system due to heavy sloshing, the pressure within the engine can drop, and the oil can cease to flow where it should in order to provide appropriate lubrication.
Even worse, no warnings will be given by the bike to the rider to indicate that there's a problem. Instead, what could happen is premature engine damage and degradation, and the eventual possible risk of a crash if this condition remains untreated.
