![]() I have had a few mechanics tell me that if the first check is in spec and yo udont beat the shit out of the bike you should be good for a long time. Triumph is pushing 12k miles so its almost that time to go in. The dealer I deal with is prety good (sux theyre 70 miles from my house though) so I am sure I will take the standard ass raping from them like any shop but I feel prety comfortable withthe mechanics there. |

Sure they do, on over engineered and overweight bikes, that hang their cylinders out into the air

What, no one has ever had them listen to the valves, decide that from the sound they don't need any adjustment, then charged you $500.00 for the privilege? Try putting some white-out on your head and gasket, the next time you bring the bike in for a major service

I bring mine to Oneida Suzuki once per year for an inspection sticker. Everything else I do myself.

hmm, swingarm, forks, both wheels/pulleys/rotors, and the entire engine assembly, which is why I did it that way.
