A different fuel leak

Hello All,
I am new to this list but have been lurking for a while.
I purchased my blue, 200 Sprint ST in March and when it finally warmed up I
began breaking it in. After about 600 miles I noticed fuel leaking from the
gas tank. A trip to the dealer on my lunch hour confirmed that it was
coming from the fuel pump. By the time I got home that night it was so bad
(started as a very slow drip) All I could do was pull the tank and bring it
in. My dealer service shop can/will not schedule their work, so, nearly two
weeks later after many "it should be done soon" answers to my calls, I had
my tank back. As it turns out the fuel pump gasket was missing a brass
insert at one of the bolts (I have not heard of this problem on the list).
Other than a punctured rear tire I haven't had any other problems since.(I'm
at 3200 Miles now)
Dan & Todd at Team Triumph of Wisconsin" in Janesville have taken over my
service issues, they are extremely flexible co-operative and helpful. It's
nice to deal with people that seem to enjoy their work.
I was a little alarmed at the heat issue early on but have found ways of
dealing with it. Mostly by just going faster (bummer eh?)
I love this bike!! the hills & back roads here in south western Wisconsin
are just about the perfect place for it. I live in Milwaukee but spend a lot
of time west of Madison, all you have to do out there is pick a road &
go... they never seem to straighten out.
Anyway...take it easy & ride safe.
