The paint looks all patchy and faded. Worse on the tank, but similar effect on the front cowl too.

Has anyone else had issues with the paint on the matt black triple?

Those of you that have them, what have you used for cleaning?

I've told the dealer, who is going to phone triumph, so I fully expect it to be sorted under warranty if it's a paint problem.
Did you use a degreaser?
I have had no probs with my paint so far but I'm staying away from degreasers since I've heard they can do exactly what happened to you.

Hopefully you'll get it sorted under warranty.
