The only thing I know is;
At my 40kkm service he was not able to get the timing right, and after taking the covers of the engine he found out that the cam chain was slack, and pulled roughly 10mm longer than it should be - as far as I remember, this happened in June last year.
This Saturday I was there and he told me that it comes down to the spanner (is that the right word/term) of the cam chain, which is not constructed correctly. In the last 2 months he have changed it on 3 ST 2005/2006 engines under warranty - 2 did not have the problem, but had the 'operation' done as he had them in anyway, and one showed the same signs as mine did (hear say information). I would say that if Triumph covers it under warranty on 3 bikes then it is something they know about.
I was told - my bike is now at 52kkm - that I should not be worried driving it until the 60kkm service.
I rode 40kkm with this issue without any problems, except that the last 5-10kkm the engine wasn't running smoothly, now (still) it sounds ok. There was absolutely no problems at the 20kkm....
Currently my problem is that it will cost me a fortune to have this fixed if Triumph does not cover it, as my bike was 2 years old in July last year.

Casper, since you are the originator, any chance that you could get a little more specific info from your source?
96sprintrydr, are you certain about the metal blade? This design is not unique to Triumph and all that I have seen had blades made out of some sort of synthetic material, certainly not metal. But, then I've not been into a 96.
