After reading Jonathan's response this morning, I realized that I missed 
this one all together....

96 Sprint - problems: crack in airbox (warranty) faulty petcock (warranty) 
- - other than that normal maintenance
98 T509 (Speed Triple) - problems: stalling on downshift coming to a stop. 
Fixed after 3 rounds at the shop - new tune from Triumph and a run on a gas 
analyzer finally fixed the problem. No valve problems

Customer service seems to vary depending on the individual dealerships. I 
cannot speak for other countries, but at least here in the US, if the 
problem makes it to ToA they are usually very good at taking care of the 
problems (other than supplying the hard bags...)

I have been very fortunate to have a dealership that realizes the benefit 
of keeping their customer base happy (knowing that they may get first shot 
at future sales)

bolt recall and centerstand recall both done. Fuel gauge wacky with fix on 
the way.

Way too many to list - If you have read Paul Masters ride story posted 
yesterday, you'll know what I mean

No major changes other than the addition of Blue (and the RS of course)

ST ownership has been shown to dramatically increase your sex life ......
