You were quite correct, tyrebyter. Seems I need a regulator, also. It'll be another week on repair. Since a regulator is likely to be bad, when the stator goes (and I asked about this when I dropped it off), wouldn't it have been sensible to have all parts available, when beginning repair? Modern motorcycling, I guess.

When this bike quit on the road, I called my dealer, and he offered no assistance, whatsoever. Visited an old classmate who owns a Yamaha dealership. He said he'd have came picked me up, in about a half hour, no charge. My son has a friend who deals Hondas. They would, likewise, have gotten bike&rider off the road, no charge.

As a guy who uses his bike for transportation, instead of recreation, such service does have a certain appeal, even if their Jap bikes are built out of beer cans and styrene. Triumph could use a little improvement to their warranty, I think.
