I know it's a great bike. Believe me I researched and talked to every person on earth about this before I bought it. I got a bad one. It happens. Honestly I wasn't even concerned about it until I realized that no one at the dealership seemed to be bothered that they sold a bike that didn't run. Let's not forget, the only trouble free ride I've had was home from the dealer. It broke down the third day I had it, and every time I've ridden since.

Mercedes can make a bad car, BMW, Harley, Suzuki and the lot can all have a bad egg every now and again. I'm just sorely disappointed at the lack of urgency and initiative on the part of the dealer. I've put word into Triumph Corp this week.

More so, the dealer called me today and said that they couldn't replicate the problem. I asked if they had ridden it at all. They said no. They let it idle to warm up, and it didn't stall. I had told them earlier that they had to run it for about 30-40 miles, shut it off and let it sit for a few minutes then re-start, ride, and it will stall out. But I told them again and they're going to try ride it tomorrow. Then said they'd open up the carbs and see if there is an issue there.

Don't mis-understand. There is no bike in the world I want, or love, more than my TBA. But it's the service that I'm really disappointed with. Hopefully I'll know something in a week or two.
