Got a call from Triumph on the 11.02, to say I could pick up my bike , picked her up and sofar she sounds and run`s well I will just have to see how she hold`s out it only cost 60
Well this is what thay were going to fix my bike with at first, as I said I will just have to wait and see how she hold`s out
sue them for what? Sometimes shit happens, and to me it sounds like the shop wants to help ou out as good as they can
You are right, it`s not what happend but how and there attitude to it all. I hade to go back today as she hade a leak under the tank.
sorry to bug you all again but if one start´s some thing one should finsh it. So it`s back to the garage again as she is still leaking
took her in for a 20,000 km check up thay said every thing is ok, second hand camshaft holding out well, so took her out and did the 100.000 km a day or two later http://tigertriple.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=10071
Well still not happy with the Triumph workshop round my way,but never the less what we, ie Tiger and me got up to last year. Total km 20'895 Total Lt petrol 1'119,20 Lt per 100 km 5,35 Cost of petrol € 1'990,70 Cost of parts/servicing € 1'557,30 so all in all around € 0.17 cash per Km and lot's of
Well thay say thay are :huh. The worst thing is she is still leaking, about 4 day's after I got her back from Triumph work shop, this time it's the water pump, is that normal or is it an invite to come back ????????????????
