Thanks for the welcome....
I was at NEC today and overheard a Trophy owner talking to the Triumph guys...... he mentioned the ticking noise coming from the top of his 3,000 mile engine and they told him about the modification which seems rather extreme. They insist it is not a safety issue, but a 'cosmetic' one. The only downside is that the bike will be away for some time. My bike has also done 3,000 miles and has exactly the same noise. I have not yet received any contact from Triumph..........I was kind of relieved because I thought the noise was with me for good!!

Mark
