Great bike,not happy when took it to main dealer for a service and was told Triumph have said the rear wheel bearing has to be stripped and greased as part of the annual service at an added cost to me approx £80 on top of the normal service cost,because it starts to squeek and groan if it is not done surely this is a fault that should be rectified by Triumph
