Mine causes me to develop this grin from ear to ear whenever I ride it. The dealer never said anything about this condition occuring, and it's highly repeatable. Maybe it'sa warranty thing?

In the old Triumph and BSA days, the brits used metric standard bolts. They also used a Whitworth standard that was not SAE or metric. I had one, a Trophy 250. It was a B***ch finding wrenches to fit it!
