Hmmm I wouldn't use that dealer after hearing your experience!

Blimey, I hope this dealer was dropped like a hot coal. They clearly know nothing. Changing ONE brake rotor? Why didn't they notice all the 'faults' in their first inspection? A fuel vacuum pipe can be obtained from any decent hardware store for next to nothing. Any problems are probably caused by lack of use and not using the machine hard enough in the first place. Mechanical things need USING. This displaces corrosion inducing moisture and lubricates all parts of the motor. The 4 cylinder Triumphs are amongst the most reliable engines in any motorcycle ever (see my Trophy 1200 report). My Daytona 1200 went round Europe for 3000 miles at the drop of a hat with no preparation at all. And FAST. I use 120mph as a base line on the autobahns and accelerate from there as required. Spares are widely available in UK and are reasonably priced 2nd hand.
Triumph have a helpline at the factory and are very helpful if required. My bikes are registered 1991, 1992, 1992, 1992, 1992 and I would take any of them to Europe right now with nothing other than brake pad, tyre tread to consider prior to departure. Buy and use with confidence.
Happy and safe motorcyling Y'all.

You are being heisted. Change your workshop, they are obviously not up to the mark, and are taking you for a sucker!
