Well 60,000 on my 03 Triumph America and all I,m doing is fixing, frist the computer and now a pin that keeps the right foot peg and master cyclender form rotation. drove a roll pin in with red lock tight made it back 600 miles. I surely wish all my other forgien junk was built so bad. But I did notice one problem when I got home. Has any one got a strate line drawing of the starting ckt. I've got a switch acting up. And going into some hard curves a littel fast got to thinking. It might be a bad time if I had a stock head bearing going out with this sidecar set up, What is the number of those timken bearing set-up for the head?Rudy

piece of crap!My 06 with only 18k on the clock just got a broken wire tie replaced!!!AND the rear foot pegs had to be greased.I really should set this thing along the road with a cardboard FREE sign on its sorry limey frame.

I keep losing those right foot control rollpins, too. Time to upgrade to a Harley.

And I'm waiting on some coils... friggin' ghost of Lucas.

I replaced the roll pin by drilling out the hole and used a bottom tap, so that I could install a stainless metric button head bolt in its place, no problems since

Mine has been nothing but trouble. In '04, I had to replace that rubber doo-dad that holds the speedometer to the mudguard.

I've lost count of the amount of times I've had to fill up the tank

Oh yea?! Well I have had to change my oil and filter several times and even had to adjust the valves!

Thats all nothing, my bike has the NERVE to make me ride it! Unbelievable.

On my blackberry tonight so I can't find my old post. But, I had a thread last year on installing the timken kit from AllBallsRacing.com.

Bucky knows about this, as does Moe.
Thanks for the reminder, I need to do this as well.
My headstock bearings have taken a set, and need to
be replaced.

i keep have trouble with that ****** wobblerplate, and those stupid muffler bearings, it seems everytime i turn around i am having to find them mufflerbearings and get them reinstalled.

My main complaint is the same problem most of us are experiencing, the dang expansion module.Pure Crap!

let's not forget the recrappitator valve!

I had to clean off the bugs.....My wife wouldn't

Don't forget the muffler bearings and blinker fluid. If those go, you're screwed!

Mine didn't even come with floor mats.

Well, I have to admit a few years back I lost my original side cover when it flew off my bike somewhere along California Hwy 1 near Big Sur.

Of course, it was most likely because I had pulled it off the bike in San Luis Obispo for some reason, and then when putting it back on I didn't make sure all three of the prongs on it were fully pressed into those little brackets on the frame with the rubber grommets.

(saaaay...ya think I can blame Triumph for that?)

The tires wore out on mine.
I'm p----d.
Big time.

The air of MYSTIQUE that once surrounded my bike has leaked out,is this a cause for complaint ?

The Tiger I just bought has a paltry 32k on the clock and the previous owner had to replace the chain and sprocket b4 I bought it,and the tires are bald.

my 05 I call her Matilda, has been a night mare. had to replace the speedo cable, the air filter ( and lost the snorkel). the air injection trash is still on the shelf ( it will not throw its self in the bin). had to put in bigger main jets and shim up the needle. I also had to throw those 30 lbs junk stock slash cut silencers away and replace them with some very light wieght 18" turndowns. Now i still keep changing things.

i dont know guy's i must have got a good one....dont have any of the prob's you guy's are on about myself
then again i no sooner fill the fuel tank next thing i know i'm looking for reserve must have a hole or leak some where me thinks
