Re: Open plea to Triumph

[KEGLER916@xxxxxxx]

Well put! It kind of reminds me of the problem Firestone is experiencing now, 
except Firestone apparently let their problems kill innocent people. My gauge 
has had the usual problems like everyone else's but I'm not replacing mine 
till there is a correct fix.

 Yes everyone bitched about the fuel sender having a mind of its own, and
 yes it was annoying.
 
 I waited for awhile to replace mine. There was a rash of leaks reported
 on this list, initially. But then they seemed to die down, and a rumor
 floated that the first batch was no good. So I had mine replaced. Less
 than 1K miles later, it was dripping. Not as severely as some, but
 definitely not a good thing. The dealers will tell you not to ride the
 bike (can't blame them for not wanting ANY liability here. What does
 Triumph do? NOTHING! at least in the way of service bulletins or any
 other means that I am aware of. I would be absolutely delighted to be
 proven wrong.
 
 As someone else on the list said a few weeks ago "Will it take a death
 or a bike, or even a house to go up in flames before this is addressed?"
 Nobody wants that, but if it happens, you better believe that they will
 go after Triumph in court if necessary. Nobody wants that either. We
 just want to ride our bikes. We don't want to have to sit around for
 weeks for yet another part to arrive, then go through the hassle of
 taking it to the dealer and getting it fixed (hopefully?). We just want
 to ride this wonderful machine that Triumph has built.
 
 So come on Triumph. Tell the dealers NOT to replace the old style,
 non-leaking fuel senders until you have a proper fix.
 Make up a plate and a foolproof seal so those that are stuck with
 leaking senders can at least get the LEAK fixed. Having no fuel sender
 is hardly worse than the original sender. We all now know to trust the
 odometer for when to refill. Just get us SAFELY back on the roads on the
 bikes we daily trumpet our love for. Is this asking too much?
 
 For anyone with a faulty but not leaking sender, keep it. Good choice
 Bench Dawg. I wish I'd made the same one.
 
 ps I also posted this to the Triumph Feedback on their site. Hopefully
 someone will wake up.
 
 Safe riding everyone.
