    I hadnt thought about the fi being a problem with my montesa having it  there might be knack in starting them 

    Little bit of throttle and a good kick, 2 kicks cold, 1 kick when warm

  2. my CDI went just a couple of weeks ago on my 2018 trs 300rr which is 1.5 years old, and I had to buy one, funny thing the CDI went on my 2016 trs one 300 at 1.5 years old and they replaced it but now they wont.

    first off im NOT a dealer I have never even had a ride on a trs but  been fixing trials bikes 40+years

     Warranty on a competition bike ? dont matter what make  . How many  bikes ever  go back to a dealer not for repair but to get serviced or checked over  but riders expect to get full warranty back up ., This case with the TRS you have not gave any time line to it but TRS have seemed to have done all they can as for the corrosion thats a lack of maintenance as the bike is a competition bike  they do need to be looked after and maintained by the owner as the bikes live there  life in mud and water

    You state the bike came back and was running perfect then another fault appears so i can not see how or why the dealer or TRS are at fault here they have doing all they can they can not fix it till it fails

    lack of maintenance, I look after my bikes extremely well. The bike hasn't been out very much and as well as this why did they put the connector right in where the engine is, where mud/water fly's up around it. Would it not make sense for it to be up in the frame like the CDI box?  Lack of maintenance the plug is supposed to be water proof. funny my old TRS never gave any problem with that plug and I rode it an extreme amount.

    From what you have said, I wouldn't be buying another one either. 

    How old is the bike, 2 years?

    Its clearly no developed properly before you are having these kind of problems.  it shouldn't be corroding in that time, that's poor, and the fact they wouldn't replace the cdi  item is also pretty poor, because its clearly not fit for purpose. 

    I would speak to the importer and see if they will help, or failing that, speak to a solicitor and see if you have a case for making them take it back as its not fit for purpose. 

    The bike is 1 year and 6 months old

    Hello, 

    I live in Matadepera in Barcelona area, very few problems from TRS bikes I know of, i had a problem and it was immediately solved under warranty, TRS is having a great prestige for Quality, assistance and warranty, the 20 - 30 users I know are very happy. 

    I know that Jordi Tarrés is personally involved in the warranty management and is giving the maximum, so I am sure that any problems would be solved from their side. 

    He speaks English very well, please call him and you will have a solution. 

    I don't understand a situation like this one not being solved immediately, Jordi and his team are doing a great job, call him and it will be the end of this nightmare. 

    How do i get in contact with him

     We have a 2018 300 RR. We did have to replace the water pump seal after a 80 mile trials with 80 sections at altitude. Also the fuel cap vent would not vent enough so drilled it out. Total cost zero dollars and 2 day wait time for parts. Awesome machine. It`s my sons and soon to be mine.

     DWB5151, why does everything take 3 weeks? Very odd.

    The problem is my dealer who i bought the bike from is very busy 2 -3 weeks its generaly how long it takes for him to fix it. Maybe its just my luck with this bike.

  7. Where do i begin with this, my first TRS was a 2016 300 model, it was a great bike, reliable and only let me down once. I had done hundreds of hours on it, what problems did i have with it. Well, when the bike was 1.5 years old the kill switch stopped working , turned out to be the CDI box, got it replaced for free. Then the bike started burning oil, nearly caught me out, as it nearly ran out of oil. But it was saved just in time. 

     

    Being well impressed with the bike on how reliable it had been, and easy to work on i decided to upgrade to a new 2018 trs 300rr.

     

    So when i took delivery of the bike I was over the moon with it, but then the problems started.

    First week the bike started leaking coolant around where the top head meets the cylinder head, contacted the dealer, they presumed it was the head orings. So they replaced the head orings . The bike continued to leak coolant, so phoned the head of TRS turns out the gruves in the head where cut to deep. Problem was they didn't have the parts in to replace them. So we decided to replace the orings in the mean time with bigger ones, the bike was still leaking coolant. So before every ride i had to unscrew the radiator cap and check the coolant. After doing this for a few months the bike started to build up compression in the radiator and shoot coolant out of the expansions area. After taking the radiator cap of that much it started to round on me, so i had to buy an after market one as the standard one is terrible quality.  Although the good news is the parts had finally arrived in. So the dealer replaced the head and orings, The thermostat also went due to the compression in the radiator. All replaced under warranty. 

     

    Then a few weeks later the waterpump seal went, and the bike had to go to the dealer again.

    Then 3 weeks later it happened again, so I took the bike back to the dealer again to get this fixed ,turned out to be a manufacturing defect on the clutch which was causing this, so the dealer had to send the clutch casing away to see if it could be fixed. It was away three weeks and could not be fixed.  So they had to ship out a 2019 clutch casing. Due to this being a manufacturing defect they replaced it. (by this case the bike was out of warrenty so had to pay for the labour)

     

    Got the bike back finally hoping everything was sorted, was riding it for a reasonable time and then it decided to start acting up, running terrible literally un-ridable. Presumed it was the CDI box was the culprit, bike was at the dealer for another 3 weeks to figure out what was wrong with it, waiting to get a lend of a cdi box and stator to switch them around to see what was causing the problem. Turned out to be none of them, it was the connector in front of the carb, one of the pins had a slight bit of corrosion on it. So the pin was clean and the bike was running perfect.

     

    Then the bike started smoking a lot and it turned out to be the crankcase seal, so the bike was burning oil, bike had to go to the dealer again and was away for another couple of weeks. Then i got the bike back last week next day the bike started to run terrible.

     

    The bike was cutting out, rattling and sounding terrible. So back to the dealer again, turns out to be the cdi box, but it wont be replaced like what happen on my previous trs.

    The reason they wont replace it is due to one of the pins on the connector having a bit of corrosion on it, apparently this is what caused the cdi to go, yet this happens 3 weeks after getting the pin cleaned on the connector,  im sorry but this bike has done nothing, not a single trial has been done on it, i have only rode the bike on my own ground, It has spent more time at the dealer getting fixed than anything. The connector is apparently waterproof but yet it isnt going by what happened to it. 

    I sorry when i got my first TRS i would have recommended them to anyone but now no. Im sorry but the quality doesnt seem as good in my opinion,      this will be the last TRS i buy.

  8. I'm on my second TRS, the first one i bought was 6 months old and i had it for a year and a half making it 2 years old. The only problem i had was the crankcase seal going in it. At the time i was getting a good deal on the 2018 TRS 300RR. So I decided to upgrade. Funny my old TRS was sold within a week of it getting fixed at the dealer. The new owner seems very happy with it. My 2018 TRS RR is now over a year old.
