Brakes are soft at first pull. Second hardens. They seem very mushy and unsafe most of the time.

Operation of the brakes is inconsistent and unsafe. On first application, it feels like there is no pressure in the system so the brake lever has to be squeezed almost completely back to the handlebar before the brakes apply. On subsequent applications immediately afterwards, the system feels pressurized and lever pull and brake application become normal. The pattern repeats again after the brakes have not been applied for a several seconds. This occurs whether the brakes are applied while moving or at a standstill.

I have had 3 side stand springs fail during this calendar year 2020, in less than 3,000 total miles. 2 of the failed springs have been upgraded parts from a triumph internal safety bulletin replacement. This last spring failed 900 miles after it was installed only a month and a half ago. All installations were done by the authorized triumph dealership. All 3 of the spring failures occurred at freeway speeds, top gear, in traffic - when it fails, it activates a kill switch that cuts power to the motor, leaving me in highway traffic at speed with a non-responsive motorcycle. After the second occurrence, i emailed triumph after sales customer service team and their head of customer service peter carleo, my email was not responded to, i replied again - and no response. I have now emailed them a third time. My dealership said today after installing the 4th spring on my bike this year that they called triumph customer service and they were dismissed and that i am on my own to deal with this issue. This is a major concern as i could have been killed in traffic 3x due to a side stand spring, a $6 part failing 3x. This is the most simple of parts and one that in my 13 years of riding nearly every day on 3 different triumph motorcycles, i have never encountered before. Triumph needs to be held accountable and rectify this issue completely before someone is killed - if they haven't been already. My springs failed on 1/30/20, 6/17/20 and 11/28/20, over the course of less than 3,000 miles travelled.

When using the front brake, i have to press the lever in once, then press it a second time to experience its proper braking potential. This has been an ongoing issue since owning the bike. I've noticed how jerky the brake would react. Very "squishy" when pressing the brake lever first pump, then reacts immediately with subsequent brake pumping. This has the potential to cause harm to me, my bike or someone else.
