Triumph says there is an updated gasket for thermostat and an updated thermostat as well.
Hope I get these installed next week. The coolant was just pouring out when I left her
at the dealer for the 6000 service. Wonder what they did when I took her in for the first leak
Seems they are starting to take some action.
This reminds me again, do not buy anything from the first years production, wait at least 2y.
The same goes for cars, boat engines, lawn movers etc.

But then again, the world is coming to end then so what the heck. I wonder if the gasket and thermostat is an automatic replacement. I have 2800 mi since Jan and no problems.

I know how to make it leak. Just put in 5 th gear and do 110-115 mph for 5 minutes or more, or what the hell it goes.
Thats all it took for me, that is two times. The 6 th gear gives a bit slower speed. Now I??ll wait for the new gasket and
thermostat before I try again. I recommend to do the test out in the desert.
