I'm not an "on-line expert", but I'll throw in my two cents. First off, the bike has been great. It has style for miles, and for me is a very satisfying all-around bike.
Here is my list of issues:
1. Oil leaks due to overfilling. The amount prescribed in the manual is too much. It should be filled only to the midpoint on the sight glass. I forgot to specify this during my last service, so now I have a leaky bike again. The solution is to drain the oil to the proper level, which is midpoint in the sight glass, and to drain the airbox tube often until the excess oil has been run through. In 2003, the centrifigal oil distributor in the crankcase was replaced with a slightly different version under warranty, per Triumph central, but this hasn't seemed to make a difference.
2. I've also had the grounding issue with the instrument cluster, fixed under warranty with a new wiring harness.
3. My speedometer becomes erratic at times, despite the cable having been lubed.
4. My throttle cable snapped at only around 5,000 miles.
5. The horn sucks
