To shop mechanic, it's just a job $$$$$. It's not a passion, just a beer at the end of the day. He/She will never care about your equipment the way that you do. I know this because I was a dealership mechanic, I was never like that but I saw many such individuals come and go. You philosophy on doing it yourself is a healthy one . Keep doing it.

@@aussiewantok, If it is the voltage at 3000 rpm, check the voltage on the plus and minus connectors from the regulator/rectifier. There should be 14.3 to 14.5VDC at 3000rpm. And if it's OK, check where you're losing voltage. At least 13.9V must be achieved on the battery at 3000 rpm.

Hello from South Wales {old, not new!}. A bit of a heads up for you, re warping discs. I went through two front sets on my now 20 year old Suzuki SV thou, the originals as well as a replacement pair off eBay but last time got a pair of EBC ones with HH pads that claim to have a bobbin design that inhibits warpage. Can't recall how many years they've been on now but there's no sign of the nodding dog syndrome when pulling to a halt. If you decide to keep the Triumph, give them a go. All the best to you and yours.

In the UK we can quote the Sale of Goods Act, and another act I can't remember the name of, from 2015, which states "that goods should be of merchantable quality and fit for the purpose intended" which you could argue that the discs are your bike are not fitting that criteria. If you had done 30 000k+ maybe they would have some defence. All the best with getting resolution.👍

@@aussiewantok sorry to hear that mate. I have the same feelings towards BMW and Mercedes car dealers. The BMW went in for a recall job and came out with other warning lights showing and the Mercedes went in for a rear subframe failure, which thankfully happened outside my house and not when I was driving at 70mph on the motorway the day before! That came out with the parking sensors not working and they wanted to charge me £140 for an investigation and they would put it right IF it was their fault! They allegedly found other worn parts and needed to change them as they couldn't road test my car. Shocking, and I feel like I have been rinsed for £650!

I immediately subscribed (number 600),You are good at this video lark. How could your dealer not put in a warranty claim for a warped disk? In the UK the warranty is 2 years, a Disk is not a consumable , I hope Head office "explains" to your service centre that just fitting a new Brembo disk is cheaper than a lot of bad publicity .. Sorry for the long comment but i'm very drunk on Australian Red Wine....Hic.
