I was giving my year old '07 T100 a check over whilst cleaning it and noticed that one of the rubbers between the air box & carb has perished and cracked,checked the other side and it was the same. It hasn't broken through completely but won't be long. Doesn't seem right to have done this in under a year on a bike only used for 600 miles last summer and kept under cover. Anyone else had this problem,and will it be covered under warranty?

No problems on mine but that has got to be covered under warranty, they should last longer.

Happened to me on my 07. Dealer had no issue doing them as warranty.
I do have a good dealer here in Oz.

Must be Triumphs new way of hinting to you to Remove the Airbox!

I noticed the same thing on my '07. It's fairly cosmetic at this point, but I won't be surprised if it progresses.

Looks pretty bad, Thieu! Mine are still good after 3+ years. These must be some more of that bad Triumph rubber.
