Well, I have a good news story. My local Triumph dealer have paid out AU$1400 for a set of Bitubos( you may remember I was going down this road a few weeks back) as well as replacing everything that is scraped underneath. Foot boards, mounts, mufflers, heat sheilds etc. They are also going to repair the tingle/ vibration that goes through the bike. This seems to affect mainly the tourer. It is going in on Saturday so they can order all the parts. As they also believe that the nut on the clutch is not torque turned properly from the factory, which results in the preload or something not aligned properly they are also looking at that. I'll know more on Saturday because I intend to hang around and watch them.
It took a quiet explosion in the showroom last Saturday morning to get them moving, but they are certainly acting on my issues and quickly. The manager took it for a run and came back and said ' yep, you have a problem' and in a week its all organised.
They must get sick of people walking in blaming the bike when in fact it is the rider that needs a new tune loading, but in my case it was a legitamate
issue that they eventually acted on.
