Blizzard Coventry, 18 Jun 2012 17:02 It could happen, but as to how Triumph would react to a warranty claim it all depends on how obvious the fault is and how old the bike is.
Sam London, 18 Jun 2012 17:07 I am not holding my breath, its a 2008 with 12k miles on it.
Blizzard Coventry, 18 Jun 2012 17:09 at 4 years old it'll be hard to prove it was a manufacturing fault which is all the warranty really covers.
Nice n Fat Wiltshire, 18 Jun 2012 17:10 Ask your dealer to ask Triumph for a 'Goodwill Contribution'
Sam London, 18 Jun 2012 17:50 The problem is getting it to a dealer. Its stuck in one gear and I still need to ride home from the office (waiting for the traffic to die down).
The Dutch Porridgewog Gelderland, 18 Jun 2012 17:51 I just got my bike back from its 20.000km service(12,000mile) they had to replace the accuator shaft because it wasn't selecting properly, more than 2mm play in it.......I hadn't noticed

but he showed me the removed rod and it looked pretty worn to me.
