Donald has fervent support on this website . Both of them were still black balled <| sep |> Er , I ' ve had a couple of problems with mine , but it ' s a 2012 one , so some of this might be fixed . It ' s also mostly nonserious and might not be at all problematic if you ' re looking XR rather than XC There ' s a load of contentuploadsIMG 20160917152056 . jpg hanging out the front of the engine at the bottom , which is a bit of a dirtcollector and makes it all a bit likely to rot hence the jubilee clip . My starter failed at about 24 K but I didn ' t tell the shop until a day after the warranty ended , so missed out on warrantying that . I replaced it with a ~ 20 K daytona one , and that one ' s failed now I replaced it yesterday , at about 55 K on the bike . This seems common on the 675800 motors from 20102013 at least I ' ve not looked any later . The problem is that the brushes wear out very quickly , I ' ve not yet found out if that ' s fixed by getting someone else ' s brushes . The bit of the frame that sticks out the front and holds the headlight unit is welded to the frame and bolted to the lights , so a frontend impact ' s likely to writeoff the frame . There ' s basically no sealing of the underseat area it just fills with mud if you ride in the wet , and with dust if you ride in the dry . The clutch cable rubs on and through the upper fork leg . I ' ve heard of people getting these replaced under warranty . and of other people being refused it . The main fuse is underneath the battery , which makes it tricky to replace on an unlit road in the dark when it ' s raining etc . I ' ve not managed to blow it yet outside of testing , though . The ancillary fuses are easy to get at under the rider ' s seat , by the battery and there ' s gaps for spares . The rear shock linkage is the lowest point on the bike , just sortof dangling there waiting to get twatted by a rock . The throttle stepper motor stops working if it gets excessively dusty , and it ' s not the sort of thing you normally clean . You can get a solvent spray on it without taking the tank off , though . It doesn ' t stop the bike working , just means it doesn ' t idle . The downpipes sometimes rot really quickly mine had holes in at 45 K Triumph seem aware of this . It ' s a very smooth triple , but it ' s definitely missing some of the character of a twin . I think my next bike ' ll be a twin . The frame spars are a little in the way of the left and right spark plug holes my spark plug tool didn ' t fit in the hole but I got a more ' normal ' one a 38 socket and extension bar and that ' s fine . There ' s loads that ' s really good , though mine ' s an excellent road bike and capable offroader now I ' ve sorted some of the suspension , It ' s approximately balanced on the centrestand so easy to work on the front or rear wheels , the XC and XR cockpits can be swapped round if you want to raiselower widennarrow the bars neatly and there ' s a handy little guard on the fuel filler hole , so the petrol pump can just sit on that and fill the tank rather than needing to hold artificially high . There ' s probably more , but I ' m used to it all , and have spent most of the last fortnight working on mine .
