I just had a look to see if mine was built early or late 2005 and saw that it was 01/2005.

So I guess I'm in the "russian roulette" club

Can anyone tell me this, will Triumph cover repairs on a bike that's done 40,000klm's or 100,000klm's for that matter?

Considering it is a design floor they would have known about when mine was built, I would have thought so but there is noting that would compel them is there?

I've also heard comments that this is nothing to panic about. Who's pannicking?

Hands up who's being practical in finding out how much of a problem this is so they can make some informed decisions

I mean, this has happened to a lot of bikes by what I can see and it appears it will only take a half descent backfire of which our bikes are reknowned to do the job.

So no, this isn't good news by any stretch but I'm not pannicking yet, just working out what I should or shouldn't do.
