Here is a portion of the letter I got from Triumph today. I seem to remember someone in Europe posting that they had this problem. Evidently it was serious enough to warrant an all out recall.
You are correct Hondax. I think Triumph either failed to state the correct torque setting or state a setting at all. I checked my predelivery check list that the technician who set up my bike signed off on and that is not even on the list.
Dealer collected my bike for a problem , put the straps on in the back of the van to the handle bars , as they always do , put some tension on the straps which caused the handle bars to pull down to the tank , went down very easily , never had a problem while riding bike , but I and the driver were surprised .
Mine is not part of the above recall .
Anyway...My dealer and Triumph are standing behind it very well. Installing a new factory painted tank, new risers and associated hardware this week. Hope the problem ends there.
