I was wondering since this is my 1st Triumph what the track record was with them. I have heard about oil leaks, loose cam chains etc. What has been your experience over the long haul?
There have been some growing pains, but I think Triumph has most of those ironed out. And one thing about Triumph they have consistently covered bikes long out of warranty for any known issues.
- Blown headgasket
- Broken lifter shaft
- Tires recalled
- Gear position sensor recalled or service bulletin (not sure which)
The bike had less than 5000 miles when all of these things occurred. It has 8500 now and haven't had any further issues. Hopefully, it'll stay that way. I'll likely get rid of it by summer so I don't really care other than the inconvenience of having it in the shop.
