If i may ask, what does your local Triump stealer offer in p/x ?
I'm getting Street Triple R itches again...
- Thread starter RipGroove
- Start date
I actually didn't ask the Triumph dealer as yesterday an independent dealer offered 4K for my MT, which is bananas really as its 1 owner, got new Pilot Road 4 tyres, full Akra, genuine Yam LED indicators, genuine Yam fly screen, FlashTune ECU map, Puig tail tidy, NEVER been in the rain and has only 3500 miles on it. eBay is the only way I'll get a good price for it.

So are you telling me that a VAT registered Honda, Yamaha or BMW dealer cannot service your new Triumph motorcycle with genuine Triumph parts, if they do it will invalidate your Triumph Warranty? I say you are wrong. You mention Fowlers, they are a multi franchise dealer? I am talking about servicing here not a major rebuild or warranty claims work. If you can prove that the service regime has been followed and genuine Triumph parts have been used Triumph cannot invalidate your warranty. They can complain and try and make life tough but they would have to prove the servicing had not been carried out correctly and this was a factor that could have led to a warranty claim.. As I mentioned in my post my mate took Kawasaki to task on this issue and won his case in court, so Fowlers are full of shit, as are Triumph if they think they can get away with it.
Please copy and paste the law that says otherwise.

I was reiterating what Fowlers told me when I challenged them about it

I service my bikes myself in our workshop using all genuine parts and get my mate to stamp my book for me

Of course Fowlers will tell you something like that, they want to rip you off.

Same hear Rich, and had no problems with warranty work, if you build a good relationship with your dealer and get the parts from them it's not a problem in my experience

Hahaha. Typical
I've had two STR's (2010,2013) and am now on a 2015 MT. The STR feels more refined and better finished. Basically the stuff that annoys me about the MT was not an issue on the STR ie: injection, suspension, seat. BUT the MT is more nimble at road speeds, accelerates harder and just feels...friskier. The MT needs money spent to make it excellent, but then its alot cheaper to begin with.
Yes, totally agree.
I owned a STR before my MT.
Found the finish on the Yam is better than the STR, the paint on the STR cylinder head started coming away (bubbling up) and eventually cracked up / fell off.
Suspension in a different league on the STR compared to MT, but as you say, it is cheap to begin with. My MT now has a Maxton Shock, easily the best mod to make.
Thinking about a move to MT10, but don't really want part with my 09.
I bought a str in 2009 did 30.000 miles on it and loved it but they are not with out fault,the suspension may be adjustable but it's way too hard for quick road rideing on yorkshires bumpy roads and it will cost £1000 to sort it,the seats murder after 150 mile and the steering lock I.e Turing the bike round is a joke.my last triumph was a daytona 675 2014 14.000 mile same suspension as str and it cost me £1150 to sort it as its got to be the worst suspension I've ever rode on a modern bike,I now have a tracer and the suspension is poor but at least you can ride it without smashing your balls off the tank or having blurred vision over 70 on bumpy road,I've started with the tracers suspension with new fork cartridges just waiting for rear shock which will make it a real weapon.
