Welcome to the mad house!!

On the new models they’re aren’t any real prevalent problem but a few things do come up now and again.

Couple of things to know right off the bat.

First valve check is moved to 20,000 from 10,000. You’ll find a lot of documentation for 10,000 miles, it’s all old.

When changing tires, use moly lube on the driveshaft splines. It’s a care item not mentioned in manuals, but one that will keep your shaft drive happy for years to come.

Other than that ride and enjoy o/
 


Welcome. I fall inta similar category. I have been riding since age 15. I have owned Honda, Yamaha, BMW and a few HDs.

My 2014 Roadster is my first Triumph. I love it. Best bike I have ever had.
 
Welcome from one of the Aussies. Use good quality synthetic oil - your transmission loves it also be sure with your gear changes mis-shifts under a high load can bend selector forks and round dog gears - just like any other bike really
 
Welcome from the UK, I had read a few gearbox issues but now just enjoy my bike and never had a problem on my 2013 Roadster.
 
WELCOME to ya!
I'm from WA State, how about you?
