Its basically a harley shop that sells triumph. The mechanic had never seen the ramair filter before.
It should have been, but wasn't!
There was no recall because not every bike had problems. But if your had the update kit done by a dealer and it was paid by Triumph like back in the earlier years then they would have it in their computer as being done since Triumph paid the dealers and supplied the kit. The update kit grew from other various problems like the problems with a bad batch of crank gears leading to the (coffee can rattle) then the out put drive had some problems and eventually the second gear issue on some. By now you probably will not get anything from them but your dealer should try as maybe you will get a break on the kit itself.
Dealer checked my VIN and said my bike doesnt need the kit. Then told me the bill was $1368. Im very tempted to mail the title.
I see you are in AR. What mech. Do you use?Many dealers manage their cash flow by ordering only when needed. I don't agree with the practice, but in several scenarios there aren't enough parts in the US to stock every dealer, they all pull from a pool supported by a quick delivery process.
You can ask them which bar they are going to buy you a beer at? There are some nice hotels they can set you up in as well
Well, i just received a very expensive lesson in " do it yourself". $1368 .
It was a ridiculous shafting. $57 for a fuel filter. $89 an hour labor cost. The part i didnt see was smallest division of labor was 1/2 hour. All times rounded up. So 35 min actual turned into 1 hr for billing.
