Pondering a 2013 SE in Brisbane Queensland Australia

[teef.au]

Howdy folks 

For this weekend I have a 2013 Trophy with 34 klms on the clock, on an extended test ride. Judging by the grins on mine and the Mrs faces it looks like a strong contender to wind up in the shed with the rest of the fleet.

I’ve been riding a while and previous Triumphs I’ve owned include a 1050 Tiger, Sprint GT and I currently own a Tiger Explorer.

The deal now hangs on the dealer producing the service history they claim to have.

I think I’m familiar with most of the character of the bike given that I own the Explorer, however I am just looking for any specific advice folks may have for things I should look into before I take it back on Tuesday and do some paperwork?

Look forward to becoming part of this group. 

Cheers, Keith.

..... and since asking the question I found this thread, which is brilliant and covers pretty much what I was asking.

Hi teef.au and to the Forum !

That other Topic pretty well covers it 

They should have the Service Booklet from the previous Owner, if they haven't - ask WHY NOT,
and even go as far as asking if you can be put into contact with the previous Owner -
after all, if the Bike is legitimate, why wouldn't they have the Service Book or mind giving
you the Contact details of the last Owner - especially if that would result in you buying it 

Even without the Service Booklet, if it has been serviced by authorised Triumph Dealers,
there "should" be an electronic Service Record that the Dealer can access.

Cheers - and enjoy the weekend !

Hello Teef.au

Go on take that test ride and remember your wallet. 

We all did

Thanks for the welcome folks.

I think we have some fairly strict privacy laws in QLD so I doubt I would get to speak to the old owner, but at the very least I will be insisting on a printed service record.

It seems I am also victim to warped discs, so they will be replacing those before I accept it. I cleaned up the bobbins last night and took it for a ride. It stopped about 4 times but then 5he vibration came back. Apart from that it is a brilliant bike, if they don’t come through with my requirements, at least I had a great weekend and a Trophy will definitely be on the shopping list!

Just for the record, it still feels both smoother and quicker than the Explorer!

G'day Teef,
35km on a 2013 model seems very low?

Nevertheless as you and your Mrs have worked out it's a brilliant ride.

My bad I need to update location to Canberra mate.

35000km is not too bad. I've clocked over 50000km on my 2013 TTSE.
