General Comments

I have enjoyed the Triumph 955i Daytona immensely, but at 6,000 miles and just out of warranty the back wheel paint turned to snake-skin. Triumph seem to automatically refute all claims before investigation, they reluctantly changed the wheel.
Last week the clutch cable broke at 7,000 miles, upon investigation the mounting bracket was misaligned with the actuator arm, resulting in the cable wearing through on the adjuster. Again Triumph HQ refute the claim.
Has anybody else had this clutch issue?
I urge any triple engined owners check the alignment of these essential parts; an unexpected clutch failure can obviously have serious consequences.

    You must have had a bad one, and as for the clutch, i think thats more to do with when it had its pre-delivery inspection.
    I have just bought a Yellow and Black 955 SE, bargain price and its a cracking bike, having previously had a Honda Firestorm. I bought it because a good friend of mine who covers over 20,000 miles a year on his bikes had an 04 955 SE and it didnt miss a beat. He hardly ever washed it used it to travel from the other side of manchester to london on a regular basis, all at very high speed. He has now bought a second one, and tells me that having taken the farings off his black one the only issue is a few nuts that are corroded, (this even happens on Hondas as it did on my firestorm, I bought new nuts!! hate rust)
    So all in all I think its very unfortunate that you got a bad one
