Re: [ST] Saftey recall

["Steven Kohlscheen" <TrumpST@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

I finally got mine done last week, after waiting a while for parts to show
up.  The mechanic said the bearing looked fine on mine, as well.  This is a
good sign because I got 20k miles on the bike with this "suspect" bearing in
place.  Unfortunatly I still got whacked for standard labor rate on sprocket
and chain replacement at the same time.  Saving my dealer money this time
around I guess.  The interesting thing about the recall is it didn't come
with new seals to replace the ones coming out to get to the bearing.  They
had to be a bit careful to not damage them during the process.

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! :)
