well that came up quick! Taking her into destination triumph at Bramley for mot and service at end of the month, shims to be checked, £600 + £16 for loan bike, hire really as they're charging. List of don't do's at the ready

 

Yup that's the reason they gave me. It also means you can get any bike not just a demo!! Supposedly

 

I thought it was about average

 

Nah shouldn't do just don't want them doing triumph bits to custom bits or visa versa

 

I bring the number of your parents into dispute!!

 

The whole idea was to get rid of running issues, which it has done, if they didn't put so much twaddle on in the first place we wouldn't have to go through all this! Anyways I always thought a service was a service and a tune was a tune. The last one I had when they remapped was just pure pig headedness by the mech who stated that he'd never heard of removing O2 sensors on efi's before, and if he couldn't recognise a modded airbox and air filter and non standard pipes during the service then he shouldn't get repeat custom! Oh he hasn't, so there you go!

 

I didnt realise i never updated this,
they failed doris on the MoT due to exhausts being too noisy!!! They're not noisy they're just right!! anyways had to take the originals down and replace them.
Even though told not to do anything with the map, they flashed it so it got reset to latest triumph one which was no good for my set up, I think its just an automatic thing they do without thinking so rode home with a whisper and had to re exhaust and re-map as soon as I got home .cost me closer to 800 than 600 so thats the last time i take any of my bikes to a triumph dealer for any servicing.

 

It's a noise thing! They run them monitor the sound and if they are over a certain level fail them at their own discretion. Mine has passed an mot and failed one with the same pipes! They are not marked " not for road use" either
