I've had really good luck with the bike in spite of being a bit careless about maintenance.
I had lots of strange starting/running problems that ended up being coil-related. I think I bought 4 more coils from the dealer with only temporary improvement. Finally I got 3 new coils from Sprint Manufacturing, who had the German ones, and no more trouble for the last 10K miles.
Anyone who needs accessories like luggage racks should also see Sprint Manufacturing.
Recently I've been having trouble with the fuse box under the seat. The contacts where the fuses plug in have been breaking off. I think they are brittle or something. Does anyone else have this problem? I can't see replacing the wiring harness, which I think would be required, so I will probably cut out the fuse box and add aftermarket fuseholders.
My overheat light flickers. I ignore it.
It drips oil, I assume out of the airbox. I've had Triumphs for 36 years, so this is comforting.
I made some thumbscrew things for the seat mount which work real well.
Mostly I just ride it.
