Yep - agree with the suspensions bushes - especially if you ride all year and jet wash the bike. A bit ACF50 or whatever its called won't do any harm.

I just got my 2017 back from Fox Powersports in Grand Rapids, MI.
10K service (parts included) was $568.
They replaced the rear brake pads- they were already worn out, which I thought was very odd because I am a very light user of the rear brake. Maybe it's because the front and rear brake systems are linked?
Anyway, it would have been closer to $500 without the pad swap.
I'm curious on the valve shims- does anyone know if the 1200 motor uses the same shims as the 1050? I have a couple of shim variety packs for that motor. I never needed them. My 1050 valves were always in spec.

My Gen1 TEX does not have linked brakes. Not sure about Gen2.
I used HotCams 9.48 mm shims in my TEX. They are widely used in Japanese single cylinder dirt bikes.

I just checked my garage, and I have 2 assorted Hot Cams 9.48mm shims.
Good to know I have them if I need them.

10K Service done yesterday by Muddysump. oil, oil filter, coolant, brake fluid, clutch fluid and air filter and all the rest that goes with a 10k service, £220. Cant complain at that. Real nice guy David, highly recommend him.

There is one caveat, however, if your bike is still under warranty. I recall reading here in a previous post somewhere that Triumph have stated that Muddy Sump is not certified to work on triples.
