Prykey's Triumph Sprint GT SE

Recommended Posts

I forgot to add yesterday that I put a shot across Triumph's bows on Thursday after receiving a request to complete a Customer Satisfaction survey, I received a response within a couple of hours and 1st thing yesterday morning the dealer contacted me to advise me that Triumph were sending some more parts.

 

Thank you littleade for your post above about the Consumer Rights Act 2015, 30-days is indeed the key timeline so I will keep this in mind.

You're welcome mate. Only happy to help a fellow biker, even if you do ride a Triumph LOL. As you're probably already aware your contract is with the dealer not Triumph so don't let the dealer give any sob stories if things are not going to plan. Good luck. Ade

I bet the superb feels very refined after the harley :D

 

The Superb is refined after most things  :D and being a 280 it isn't a slouch either ;)

Well, handover No. 2 took place yesterday and all appears to be good, completed the 1st hundred miles so can now use up to 5000 rpm so that will be far less tedious  ;)

 

Very happy with the way the dealer handled things.

Very good! On the road again, woo.

Did they offer anything in the form of compensation?

 

Well it turns out that the actual problem was a missing component in the build of the clutch assembly by Triumph so I'll be taking that up with Triumph direct, however the dealers themselves have been very good and I'm more than happy with that outcome ;)

I originally booked it for the 28th October which may have to be moved if we don't get some decent weather, I have a friend in Norfolk so thats a 200 mile round trip  :happy: so that will help get the mileage up.

Is the first service at 600 miles? 

 

You'll soon rack it up. It adds up far too quickly haha. 

 

Weather at this time of year is the bitch though, i agree. Very hit and miss.
