same for me.  the regulator went on my street triple (under warranty still).  was told by the dealer that sold me it that id have to wait for 6-8 weeks before they could fix.  The bike was my only way to get to work.  The dealer in question was North City Triumph - Romford.

Triumph dealer support has been shocking - i guess they sold more bikes than they have trained mechanics to fix

Bought one having considered about 12 other bikes. Wanted everything the reviews and test ride said the Crossrunner has and have not been dissapointed - apart from the Speed Restriction which was disclosed in Bike Magazines November issue. Honda, dealers and lots of the media say ther ain't one - but there is - 123mph max (in 4th gear - cos 5th and 6th are restricted). This versus 145mph in MCN - a bit (actually very) naughty by Honda and dealers to let this myth be accepted by potential buyers.

Would not have bought it if I had known this beforehand - now lumbered.
