Her we are again.
I purchased a R3 GT in October 2020 fully loaded with all the options. in March 2024 the instrument binacle screen cracked, which after researching on the internet is a common occurance. So I took the bike back to the Triumph dealer to try and get it replaced. After a lot of discussions and trying to convince them that this is a known fault and shouldn't happen to a £23K bike after 3 1/2 years, they finally replaced it as a "gesture of good will" as the bike is now ourt of warranty. In March of this year, barely 6 months after it was replaced, the new one now has a crack in it. The bike is not used in the winter and is kept under cover in a brick garage. What is going on with these instrument binacles, and why to we have to fight so hard to get them replaced (warranty or not). they should last the lifetime of the bike.
