11.6k mi on it last season; first year on it. No “problems”. At season’s end service, dealer noted a soft rubber seal around the clutch switch’s plunger got a pinhole in it - no idea - dealer was good about resolving it. Stuff happens.

Otherwise, I keep fresh final drive and engine oil in it, and ride the well-mannered beast all over.

I checked with my dealer and they said you can't get the rubber seal by itself. It's a complete set. Any chance you have the part id for the rubber seal ?

Another 'dead engine' at only 15000 miles... Triumph refused warranty! Look at the pictures down in the thread, scary!

I told him he needs to get a Viking exhaust and then he can run my tune that we took to the salt flats. 272hp at the rear wheel the next day.

272hp?

Yeah, ridiculous as it is, they replaced the while assy, as cannot get the seal be itself. They comp’d it, so i didn’t complain.

In a not-funny twist, am standing roadside with an inop bike this moment as the clutch lever pivot pin fell out. This is 600mi after shop replaced the clutch master, so, almost certainly wasn’t torqued/loctite’d adequately. F’rs.
