I have a 2004 Rocket with 38,000+ miles and have never had any mechanical issues. There are others who have though. I don't think it's so common that everyone should be worried, but it is something to be aware of. Triumph didn't cover any of the cost? I know it's a 4 year old bike, but Triumph has been covering atleast the parts cost for similar repairs and they have an upgrade kit that addresses tranmission issues, a replacement lower timing chain gear, timing chain adjuster and other issues.

I also had my bike lock-up in second gear. The bike had already been repaired three times under warranty for transmission issues. All repairs were covered at no monetary cost to me, but the months of riding I missed and the hassle of excessive trips to an inexperienced Triumph Authorized mechanic was more than I could take. I filed a Lemon Law Claim.
