Some of the early bikes had oil consumption issues. Mine doesn't, but a friend's does. I have not heard much about it since the end of 2006, so I assume the 2007s are more even and generally don't use oil. Otherwise, I can't think of anything Triumph fixed or even needed to fix. The cam chain tensioner can be a problem, but it seems to be a fairly minor nuisance. It will probably become a biger nusiance as the bikes age, like cam chain tensioners are for some Honda models. There may be a fix in time, but for now it is really just something to be aware of and to check during routine maintenance.

If there is anything else of note, I don't know about it.
