PS You gotta remember there are 2 pistons going up & down @ the same time, and multiple counter-balancers working as well. Noise pollution is one of the biggies why there will be no more aircooled bikes in the near future. I am sure they wil get it fixed rite or replace it. Enjoy it ! Ill venture a guess that this will be the last year of Bonne's Thrux etc.. A modern classic that will soon be just that - A REAL CLASSIC.

Any Harley dealers over there in Hong Kong. That might be your safest bet. :-D

Maybe being in Hong Kong, you got one of the new Thailand sourced twins.

Hope this is not a sign of things to come.

I agree with ohiorider: it is up to the dealer to translate this info to Triumph. and FIX the problem. Triumph is very good about covering warranty. If the dealer doesn't help you, get the local rep.

I also believe these are very simple problems to fix. However they have had the bike for one week and can't solve them and not sure where the problems are. Further to this they need more time to investigate, then they will order the parts and then install them.
So far they have had the valve cover off and on and that's not the problem.
I really want to have this bike but I feel I am in the wrong place to own one.
I could go and get all the work done by another guy but then I would be losing the "factory" warranty which I paid extra for.

Ask Triumph why they are letting these incompetent **** deal with their bikes.

I agree. Get everything documented,by the dealer as to what repairs were done to your motorcycle. If it's not written on your work order, make them write it, or verbally tell you, while you document it on your work order, and have them( a service manager, or dealership manager, not some flunky) sign it. If you do not receive a work order, because " It's warranty work, and there is no charge" BUNK! Get a documented work order. Without documentation, should it come to a legal action, you will not have a leg to stand on. I have been in the auto repair business over 30 years, and we see practices like this all the time.(Not in my shop!)

Even if the problem is solved to your satisfaction, I recommend that you make Triumph aware of the problem. It's feedback from their customers that helps them improve the breed, after all.

I would also keep meticulous records of my maintenance, just in case there is an early failure, you want to prove you kept your end of the bargain.
