Big thanks to Flitwick Motorcycles, On Your Triumph suck.

well as header really. Before I went to Ireland I'd noticed a small
knock in the head bearings and obviously doing over a thousand miles
on their lovely smooth roads made them a helluva lot worse so much so
that the last time I rode it heavy braking induced a clunk clunk clunk
clunk.

Needless to say I didn't think this was good considering the bike had
only done 3500 miles. Andy looked at them and not only was the top
bolt only finger tight, the rubber washer could spin at a rate of
knots and was obviously *very* un tight.

He phoned the dealer who I bought it [1] from who basically said tough
shit, its a maintenance item and his attitude wholly sucked.

I phoned Triumph who said it sounded a little extreme and to take it
into a dealer and if they needed replacing then it'd be done under
warranty.

I arranged to take the bike into Flitwick motorcycles who not only
checked and tightened the bearings but bled my front brake as well.

and then didn't charge me for it as a measure of good will. It makes a
helluva difference being dealt with by pleasant, helpful people rather
than a bunch of cunts.

so *big thanks* to Flitwick motorcycles.

You need a nice Suzuki.

Not surprised really - is it under 6 months old? I'm sure you could have had
a stab at the Sale of Good things
and it being unfit for purpose.

Still, happy ending

 

No surprise, the workshop manager at the original site is the only good
thing about them.

 

I'm going over there myself this week.
