Can't beat service like that

Well you can. I prefer getting the order right the first time.

Ditto. How many times did you have to chase the parts?

eh 3....Right its piss poor isn't it. I have no idea why I never complained like I normally do.

Enough is enough. I have had it with these motherfking rearsets on this mother fking daytona.

new problem - the heel platEs on the gear side don't fit the right way around as I've had to space the rose joint out inline with gear shifter mech that sits on the shaft. I flung it on back to front as the right way it rubs.

I mean come on to fk. Seriously it's not rocket science is it.

Why am I calling up telling you what I need you must have sold hundreds of these. I mean come on.

Im guessing the racers use the race shift mode so it's not a problem. But fk me. I mean really.

I'll jump in as a fellow strada owner, useable power is great, short geared so plenty of punch all the way through the revs. Top speed is about 130 acceleration continues after this but it's significantly blunted as it's not a slippery shape never mind with my 6'5 bulk on top!

Yep agree with above comments entirely. Great bike.

To stop them scratching the frame or swing arm at the edges me and Aky cover the whole inside with Gorilla tape and then stick it with clear silicone, use either household clamps or tape to hold into position while the silicone sets.

Aky didn't do this on his HP4 Carbon and it wore through the lacquer. (that wasn't Pro Fibre stuff though)

Pleased you're happy Tony, for the price I have not seen anything better. I think I am going to order the carbon clock bracket and swing arm covers next.

Ah ok.

came across this, basically its some guy in a shed who is charging dealer prices for a service etc.

why? one wonders if he has declared this as a second income.

[Fleegle]

What happens if we bid?

[gwm]

Am I reading this right that Triumph (him?) recommends changing the oil and filter every month/500 miles? Surely that's just him saying that?

[moanthebairns]

That's your break in service. Which is an oil and filter which you need for dealer warranty claims.

Think they charge 45 quid.

Ah, obviously! D'oh!

But do they use Castrol 1T Racing oil...?!
