I just found out about this.

Guess I'll be contacting the dealer.

..... it has probably already been done - if the bike has been serviced by a Triumph dealer.

You can go to www.triumph.co.uk and go to 'technical' and input your VIN to see if there are any outstanding recalls to be done on your bike.

thanks for this tip. i've been to the site plenty of times, but never noticed this feature and apparently my bike has outstanding recalls.

Iceman,

I did that before finding this thread.

This is what Triumph says:

"There are outstanding service bulletins or recalls on your bike.

Please contact your nearest dealer without delay to have your bike upgraded or modified at no cost to you."


Tomorrow I'll be making a phone call.
