Onderwerp: Chain adjuster unseized
Well, my wayward chain adjuster has been unseized by my local dealer's
excellent mechanics and, I understand, treated to copious quantities of
copper grease to hopefully prevent it happening again. All's well that ends
well or, rather, it would be but for the 50 quid I was charged for the
privilege! "But the warranty..." I protested - in vain. Apparently
previous attempts to get this through Triumph had failed with them allegedly
blaming it on the British weather(!). I shall be writing to the factory to
complain about this. Jolly poor show if a chap's bike can't survive it's
first winter weather - especially when it is only 60 miles away from where
it was built!
And whilst I'm here, I seem to remember several posts a few weeks back
suggesting the latest tune increased fuel consumption. My experience would
tend to support this:
average prior to 12,000 mile service = 64.1mpg (UK)
average since 12,000 mile service = 59.6mpg, with no significant change in
riding style or journey type
Anyway, time for bed...
