The Triumph Trident 660 is currently the most affordable model in the British manufacturer’s vast lineup of motorcycles. If you recently bought one, you should take it to your local dealership and have its sidestand inspected. Triumph has just issued a recall for 314 units of the Trident 660 because its sidestand might be prone to bending.

A recall document by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) has mentioned that the sidestand on the affected bikes was constructed using an incorrect specification of raw material that causes it to bend over time. This could result in the bike falling over if parked for extended periods.
