Drinking Triumph shit coffee. Stopped at the dealers on my way home and said "listen to this", started it up and they said "oh yeah. Do you want to leave it with us?" I said "not really because I have to get my luggage home. It's booked in for tomorrow.

It only rattles until it adjusts - I noticed it did it more when I started it hot so I got it as hot as I could on the way to the dealer. It keeps dribbling water too - did it again when I was on top of a mountain enjoying the peace on Sunday - I heard it - just like you would any animal - I turned to look and there it is - having a pee. I then topped it up with 125ml of what I thought was spring water but when I checked it was summer fruit flavoured - artificial sweaters - it will smell nice when Triumph next check it. That was the first time I'd topped it up since they had it last.

Triumph diagnosed an issue with my cam chain tensioner :clap: It's being replaced under the warranty that ran out in Feb this year. They are waving the charge for the T100 until Tuesday..........I've got a free T100 for a sunny bank holiday weekend :think:
