I've already done the legwork on the state end. The state website was really helpful. I was more curious about peoples' experience with the defendant.

I am really sorry that it has come to this - I hope it gets resolved to your satisfaction.

What the video showed was bad wobble! Your's isn't that bad obviously. Your lemon law claim will be upheld against the dealer you purchased it from not Triumph. Triumph is not responsible for the maintenance or setup of the motorcycle the dealership is. I'd have all my ducks in line before filing it's not a fast process nor easy one!

Haggis I told you so!

Cheers

And you know mine isn't as bad as that video how?

Actually, mine is every bit that bad.

So seeing that, do you still think it's user error?

Never mind. Don't bother answering. I've gotten a lot of great advice from people actually interested in helping me.

When I filed in 84- it was gonna take 1+ yrs to go to hearing! + you get charged like.10/ mi fo the use you had if they are forced to take it back! Mine was on a Z-28 sole trans & I couldnt take the chance of getting killed so I traded it ijn. Took the dealer 1.5 yrs to sell the car & I saw it mangled on a flatbead 2 mo later. Goof luck!!

Hi ,
Just wondering if the dealer has test ridden the bike since you have brought it back? Seems like a logical step for them to do. If so what did they say. If they haven't test ridden the bike, then I would think that is a feather in your cap, showing a lack of concern on their part.
I know you had said that triumph thought it was tires. But they hadn't ridden it.

They said they did. Matter of fact, they logged the job as "done" in their computer. When I got on the bike to ride it home, the problem was still there.

For that matter, this specific dealership supposedly rode the bike to test it out when I first bought it before handing me the keys. They must not have done much of a test ride then, either.

The dealer thinks it's a head bearing. Triumph's Peter Carleo's said, well, frankly, I don't care what he said. He was about as awful as any person I've ever spoken to in my life. Triumph is making a serious error in continuing to employ that guy.

Anyhow, no one has looked at the rear of the bike at all.

The front wheel has been balanced. The head bearing has been adjusted. A different front wheel was tried. That's all that's been done so far.

The head bearing is being replaced under warranty right now. I really doubt it will make a difference. I suspect they are just going to torque the thing down so hard that it won't allow it shake.

I'm not kidding, by the way -- that's about as much as I trust these people right now.
