Re: [ST] YELLOW BOX speedo re-calibrator - also bike update

["Lex Offer" <Lex.Offer@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

No I'm saying they sent forged connecting rods and crank.  Which had also been shotpeened.  I might be mistaken but I believe the 2000 Sprint ST used cast parts not forged.

Are you saying that Triumph have made up a special crank and rods for your
bike ? I seriously doubt that but good luck if they have.

Triumph doesn't want to risk this happening to my bike again.  They sent me
Forged/shotpeened Crank and Connecting rods, instead of the stock cast
parts.  But I still had them magnafluxed just to make sure.  So bike shop
should be getting started rebuilding my engine tomorrow according to the
service manager.  Woo Hoo can't wait to get my bike back!
