OK I may have so things that might be interesting to some and some might already know.
First my rotor concern! It seams that you can have to much play as in the case of my bike. It seams the springs in the rivet looking mounts get worn or get damaged during installation. He said there really shouldn't be any noise coming from them. So if you have loud or excessive clicking you might want to have them looked at. They are replacing mine (warranty). It looks like one side is grabbing and not the other.
Second! Some insight on the bearing failures in the newer models. BusaJack you were asking about this. It seems they had a problem with the bearings being installed backwards so they were not getting proper lubrication. It is a random thing so you have a 50/50 shot BussaJack. He did say a tell tale sight is a clicking or wining coming from the back of the casing. Her said get it in ASAP or it can tear up the bearing seat.
Third! Popping on decell. It seams there has been a lot of complaints and Triumph is listening. They set them lean from the factory as most already know, and they do it to pass emissions testing. But he said they just got a new factory tune in and will have it ready to install when my bike goes in next week for the rotor. He says it is specifically for the decell problem.
Fourth! And not one most want to hear. According to him are bikes have a lot of power but unfortunately not all the internal parts are designed to withstand a pounding. He has two bikes in there with engines cracked because he say's the owners thing they have drag bikes. 1 is in because the fork (I think he said) in the transmission broke off. He told me to keep in mind though it is a beast it was made to be driven like a courser not a ****** rocket, and the more power you get out of it the more problems you will run into. I think you can relate to that Bussa you can’t build a bad a$$ motor without beefing up the trany and rear end.
This is just one mechanics opinion. Me I'm just going to cruse around enjoy my Rocket and shut down every pesky ****** rocket who test's me.:bch:
Hope this has some useful Intel my fingers hurt.
P.S. Did I mis spel inything
