OUCH.......but I am glad they found the problem for you.
My original dealer in Dallas,BMW/Triumph Of North Dallas,was not even
considered when my engine went south due to a major problem with the bolt
recall . I was lied to over and over again.
Fast forward to my problem .....this is when I took my bike to Eurosport in
Ft.Worth Texas. Tony ,Martha (owners) and Randy the mechanic were a great
help even though I did not buy the bike from them. I would highly recommend
Eurosport to anyone in the Dallas ,Ft.Worth area. I cant recommend North
Dallas Cycle ( the new name i think) located in Plano Texas.
Lets hope that Triumph can find better dealers in the future.
Hope all works out well with your bike Rick .Keep us updated.
