From what I can tell, this is a "feature" of this particular Triumph. The headstock nut seems to loosen itself (maybe loctite would help?). I've had to tighten mine twice in the 2700 miles I've had 'er. My friends '99 is the same way. The symptom is the clunk (or click) when you apply/let off the front brake. A thin 17mm open end wrench will fit the pre-02's but not yours (or at least not my '04). It's too thick to fit. I went ahead and bought a Triumph tool for $30 from my dealer and just keep it in the toolkit.
