Re: Greenlanes in Glos
Pilgrim says he can't make 29th now, so we're going for the 30th. If anyone still wants to do 29th, I'm up for doing both :whistle:
Have you seen Alun's green-lane-ride-out-from-stratford-sunday-27th-may ?
I'm thinking I might take a Sunday morning bimble out to Stratford, it's quite a nice run from Gloucester.

Well triumph are being a**h***s so bike is off the road. Really feel like just changing it and not bother with triumph ever again... What's the point in having warranty if they never replace anything under warranty!?!?!?
If ignorance is bliss, why aren´t more people happy?????

Re: Greenlanes in Glos
That's a bugger, what exactly is wrong? You should post some photos on here? You could always pick up a second smaller bike, I'm really starting to enjoy riding my old '92 XR250.b1kerb0y wrote:Well triumph are being a**h***s so bike is off the road.

Re: Greenlanes in Glos
Well basically I have been having a 'bouncing' sensation with the front of my XC. After the dealer taking a long look at it they found out that the front wheel has got a flat spot. A warranty claim went in to triumph and they came back straight away saying that it was the customer (my) fault because I've hit a pot hole or something and damaged it myself.... Doesn't matter the problem as progressively got worse. The wheel is fine other than the flat spot, not paint flaking off as you would expect from damage from a pot hole or kerb or what ever.. I believe that the flat spot was caused by a spoke that was to tight which would pull the wheel slowly out of place. I sent a letter to triumph asking them to investigate this further and they point blank refused saying its my fault not there's and that I can buy a new wheel for £600 from them and have me dealer fit it!davec wrote:That's a bugger, what exactly is wrong?

Now I can understand where they are coming from... What's pi**ed me off is the way the letter is worded. Also I have told them that I know of lots of tiger 800 with this problem, triumph state that they have never heard of this issue and the tiger 800 is perfect... Yeah ok. Just look at the warranty issue thread on this forum... Triumph just look for the smallest of things to refuse a claim. One good one was saying that the XC isn't designed for off road use, even though when it was released it was unveiled in spain to the media and dealers with a large portion of OFF ROADING...
Oh I'm currently having my wheel repaired using my own money, fingers crossed I will ave the wheel back in time for my holiday to France!
Rant over... Sorry to keep going on

Re: Greenlanes in Glos
The sole reason I joined the Tiger800 forum was so I could monitor the initial problems, recalls and warranty issues faced by owners prior to me 95% deciding to purchase an 800XC ... I shall seriously be considering going elsewhere now and getting something non Triumph and supporting the Japanese manufacturers instead
