Re: [ST] Saftey recall

["Joseph Miele" <sprinter@xxxxxxxxxx>]

FYI,
I have had this recall fix performed two months ago.  It's no big deal and
the tech said the bearing (old one) showed zero issues.  I've heard that
dealers are having trouble getting these bearings.  Branchville Motors in CT
had a ton of them because I called and told them to get them before the
recall was issued in the states.  Call and talk to Francis, he may be able
to send them to your dealer if they can't find them or are out of stock.
They are at www.branchville.com and are excellent folkes to deal with.
Fix kit comes with    1 new bearing
                                1 new locking ring
                                1 bearing set tool

BTW, takes a while, however, not a bad time to have them replace the rear
sprocket with that 45t while it's apart.  This way you can save on the
labor.....  A hidden way that Triumph can make it up to ya! :)
FWIW....Joe
