Ok, Show me ONE place on the internet that gives me the valve clearance settings for the 2006 America.
I found this site by chance.
Show me another one.
I have $10,800.00 in the bike. It has all that expensive Triumph accessory merchandise amd Septre pipes, foot rests, and just too much to list. Figure by looking at the price.
I paid $7,995.00 and tax for the bike and then started adding all the chrome and goodies with fly shield as well.
The CCP difference is somewhat noticeable to a knowledgeable person. However, most people wouldn't notice.
If I took it to Triumph they'd make it worse and some guy at Triumph in the UK told me to take it to the dealer and tell them what I found and the dealer would make a warranty claim. I'm not buying it. I've been around long enough to know that if he calls the dealer and explains the situation to them and gets in the loop it would be different....maybe.
There are only a couple of things that will cause low CCP on one side. None are easy to fix and expensive.
I don't wanna do it myself because I do have two Harleys that require my TOTAL attention. I have manuals on them.
So, I'm dumping the bike and it really was an experience to say the least. I don't see how Triumph can stay in business with dealers like what I have here.
Some guy named Carleo got wind of my issue and has nothing to say about it. All they want is money and numbers.
Triumph failed years ago and they are destined to fail again. People who work on every foreign bike under the sun can't give good service to all of them if any.
If I would have had that service manual like I have on my Harleys it probably wouldn't have happened.
The thing that really pisses me off the most is the Service Manager at Triumph didn't even know when to check the valves and I asked him to ask the Triumph mechanic and he said the guy was too busy. Called and same thing. No mention of a maintenance manual.
The other guy involved is named Runion and that guy named Carleo must be a wheel too. Don't believe a word they say or write. It's all my fault because I didn't have them doing all the service at some crazy hourly rate. How about getting dealers that have maintenance manuals or at least know what is available.
I should actually write to the Kentucky State Attorney Generals Consumer Office but they are just lip service in Kentucky. They have no power to enforce what I have here.
Finally, about Harley.
Harley isn't the best bike on the road but it's the best bike to own!
Harley Dealers have an attitude that we've grown to accept over the years. We know there is gonna be trouble but we can get parts and manuals to do it all ourselves.
Even Harley doesn't make their customers come back to them for all services.


I put it in the paper a few minutes ago while it still runs good and asking $8,800.00 and will take ????



this is all a bit of a shame. are you sure there are valve problems? how many miles on the bike.
