Well, not too happy to report about this, but I guess the Lacquer Worming Bug has hit my garage.
In preparing my wife's 2007 Speedmaster for the season, I noticed the worming on both handlebar risers, and on the triple tree.
This machine, while an '07 is only 17 months old (purchased new Oct/09 as a left over), and has 4800 km (3000 miles) on it. It's never been rained on, leave alone put away wet. It's also been well waxed, and cared for.
Triumph's warranty says it doesn't cover this, however some people have been successful in getting a warranty claim through.
For those that haven't seen this before, it's kind of weird. While the worming looks like its on the surface, its actually BELOW the lacquer. The lacquer is not flaking off in any way. I'm not really sure what causes this, but there's something not compatible with something (very scientific explanation
I suppose I'll be visiting my dealer soon to see what they can do. Warranty expires Oct/11.
Disappointed.
