i shouldn't really complain too much- the bike has been pretty much trouble free for 14k + miles.
i think theres a poorer finish than my old t3 daytona but then many manufacturers are having to use water based paints, which don't seem to weather as well.
i have had this intermittent electrical fault- and was a little let down that even though i having been paying to take it to the dealers to keep it in warranty i seem to have been left with no where to turn.
the dealers i use have always been friendly and of a high standard, but if its true that triumph can't/won't look further into this fault under warranty (as its intermittent and not actually an obvious faulty part..) what was the point in making sure i adhered to the strict warranty guidelines!? wheres the customer satisfaction!?
i have written a letter to hinckley outlining the issues- here's their chance to redeem themselves- so we'll wait and see.
the clutch cables a pain- i thought i'd escaped that- in fact its rubbing on the retaining clip...but my warranty expires at the end of april- i really can't be bothered going all the way back to the dealers to try and get it sorted. what with petrol and time it'd be cheaper to just buy one.
the rubbing strips lasted me the 14k miles- its not totally dead but as the wheels coming off for a tyre i might as well save myself doing a job twice. hopefully they'll be the satisfaction of getting it on our way rather than the £160 'swing arm off' method i was told!!!
i guess it's a case of follow your heart. i love triumph bikes and would proudly ride a bike/wear the t-shirt promoting 'triumph' the motorcycle. its a shame triumph the company has let you down and lost future custom.
