My bike is still at the dealer (06S3), for its first service. I complained about the chain making noises like it was slack. The dealer claims the the chain will tighten then loosen when taken on the road for a test ride. Now waiting on Triumph for a warranty claim. I remember reading on Rat that somebody else had the same issues? I cannot figure out how this can happen, any thoughts?

If everything is adjusted correctly, the chain tensioner needs to be checked.

Sounds like they are feeding you a big bowl of crapola. opcorn:

Why is it dealers never have even wear items in stock. Dumb.

aftermarket??? regear???

Is it worth the hassle to have the dealer fix it, as opposed to getting a Vortex gear at Cycle Gear.

Still waiting on sprocket, bike has been in shop for 10 days. The reason I am keeping it at the dealer is twofold, it is a warranty item and I do not think this warranty repair is correct. I feel that once replaced the dealer will discover that the bike will continue to have a slack chain. I have never heard of a out-of-round sprocket before, I think it is the chain tensioner that is the problem.

Have you mentioned this to the dealer?
Just in case they don't know about this possibility??

:afro:

By chain tensioner do you mean the eccentric adjuster?

Sorry but we can end this thread. It was a out-of-round sprocket. Replaced by dealer after a 2.5 week delay.

Good to hear you got it taken care of. Dealer's seem to have a hard time stocking normal wear and tear parts for some reason. Mine's really bad.
