Welcome to the fold, Captain Mike. So sorry to learn of your rough start with the R3.
Our fellow member, RKTNMYPKT, had the same problem with his "new" 2014 model and Triumph is replacing the
defective bike with a new one, as they should. The wankers from corporate should do the same for you, so keep us posted. we're here to support you and your being treated properly by Triumph. That way they will be supported by us , as well. You should not accept any offer to repair, via warranty work, a defective unit, as your purchased a new motorcycle in good faith and unfortunately got stuck with an assembly line/improperly manufactured lemon.
Please refer to this thread on the topic:
