Another recall

Nothing on the 'gov' recalls lists yet - http://www.dft.gov.uk/vosa/apps/recalls/default.asp
I have been concerned about the sticking throttle reports here though, surely that can be a dangerous situation. Add to this the fact that when I collected my new T120 last August the dealer told me not to use the heated grips on their Hi setting ("you'll not need it!!"). I suspect they knew about this issue even then.

 

I took mine in a week ago Saturday, Feb 4th, 17.... they called late today, nearly a week later, to tell me it's done.
The service writer told me they inserted a Triumph supplied "shim washer" to move the grip a wee bit.
That's all they'd tell me.

 

Advice to all new bike owners with these types of problems during the warranty period
Insist on a courtesy bike if they have yours in for repair, they always have demo bikes available so don't be put off by them saying no bikes are available.
You're paying a lot of money out, it's not your fault and why should you be penalised ?

 

Also got a call by my dealer last week: it was about the heated grip recall.
Says they do it while I wait and have a coffee and a currywurst.
That's good, because I have testridden all their bikes. And the bobber is not out there yet.

Besides: WANT TO RIDE MY OWN BIKE NOW

Maybe I should tell them that cruise-control is installed and that I ride with a stuck throttle all
the time anyway... (it is fun when you approach a sharp turn and you ponder "should I touch it, or will I leave it..." Can end up pretty hairrising too )

 

Thailand ?

 

Not sure what this has got to do with recalls, unless you are in Thailand which I doubt as it's less than 6000 miles away, and part of the deal is to return it to the factory. NZ is closest to 12000 but that doesn't seem right weather wise. I'm intrigued , a Pacific island maybe having gone the long way round

 

Tasmania ?
