Talked to a guy named Peter Carlio at Triumph America, he directed me to take the bike back to the dealership so that they could evaluate the engine to determine whether or not the stripped gears were a manufacturing defect, or if there was some other cause involved. Obviously I think that this is a definite manufacturing defect, but I guess there's always room for a bean-counter to have his differing opinion. I just made arrangements with the dealership to bring my bike in on saturday so they can do their thing.
