Commander 1700

I would think from what you say powder coat is your best option IMHO

 

Agree and welcome to the forum

 

Hi and welcome in, ah 'they all do that sir' is the most bloody annoying response to an quality issue!

 

Why not get Trading Standards involved? I would say that it is unacceptable on a £xx,000 motorcycle. Car owners would not tolerate it!

 

Triumph will probably say some thing, like, " you did not go out when it was raining" in the UK when do we go out then

 

Hi and welcome, my Lt is showing some signs of corrosion, but not serious enough to worry about. Do you treat them once you have polished them? If yours are bad I would push Triumph for a replacement.

What do you use to treat them afterwards Wessa ?

 

Hello Trev and welcome to the forum

Dam annoying when basically the dealer or is it Triumph themselves are saying “we’ve got your money,,,goodbye”
So the dealer is saying “Triumph do not cover this as they know it would mean replacing all of them” is that not what warranty is for. Covers faulty workmanship and materials.
I’ve mentioned it before that Honda had a problem with corrosion of the spokes/wheels on their new Africa Twin and they fitted new wheels with stainless steel spokes under warranty and all new A. T’s now come out of the factory fitted with the S.S spokes.
I’d be taking it further with the dealer/Triumph don’t give up and if no success with them try other methods.

 

Either Fs365 or Acf50. I prefer the Fs365 as it polishes out well once it has been applied.
