2008 TRIUMPH TIGER 1050 CCM ABS Engine And Engine Cooling Problems

ON DAY 2 OF OWNERSHIP OF A BRAND MY NEW 2008 TIGER 1050 ABS, I WAS RIDING IN THE RAIN. UPON STOPPING AT A STOP LIGHT THERE WAS SMOKE COMING UP FROM THE RADIATOR WHICH FOGGED UP MY HELMET WINDSCREEN, MY MIRRORS, THE INSTRUMENT PANEL AND WINDSHIELD. THIS PERSISTED AND CAUSED DANGEROUS DRIVING CONDITIONS. ALONG WITH THE SMOKE WAS A NOXIOUS ODOR. I TOOK THE BIKE BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP AND COULD NOT REPLICATE THE PROBLEM ON A NON-RAINY DAY. THIS HAPPENED MANY TIMES OVER THE NEXT YEAR, EVERY TIME IT RAINED. I FINALLY GOT IT TO DO IT FOR THE SHOP AND THEY SAID THEY HAVE NEVER SMELLED A SMELL LIKE THAT AND COULD NOT DETERMINE A CAUSE. THEY DID SAY THE SMOKING WAS A RESULT OF WATER BEING SPLASHED UP ON THE RADIATOR DURING THE RAIN. I HAD OTHER BIKES AND RODE THEM IN THE RAIN WITH OUT...

20 MIN AFTER PICKING UP MY MOTORCYCLE FROM OVERHEATING REPAIR AT CORSA MOTORSPORTS IN NYC, I NOTICED A LITTLE OIL LEAKING FROM THE BOTTOM OF MY MOTORCYCLE. I PROMPTLY TURNED AROUND AND WENT BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY STATED THAT IT WAS A BAD SUMP GASKET AND THAT THEY WOULD ORDER A NEW ONE AND INFORM ME WHEN IT ARRIVED, WHICH THEY DID NOT DO. *TR

MY TRIUMPH TIGER 1050 WOULD NOT TURN OVER OR START IN THE MORNING. I TRIED TO PUSH START IT TO NO AVAIL. THE GUYS AT CORSA MOTORSPORTS PICKED IT UP THAT AFTERNOON AND HAD IT FOR REPAIRS FOR APPROX 40 DAYS AND UPON PICK UP THEY INFORMED ME OF WHAT WAS WRONG. THEY REPLACED ALL OF THE FOLLOWING UNDER WARRANTY: SUMP GASKET (FROM AN EARLIER PROBLEM), SPRAG CLUTCH, STARTER MOTOR, BEARING NEEDLE AND RESPECTIVE GASKETS. THE SHOP ALSO TOLD ME THEY REPLACED THE DEAD BATTERY BUT IT WAS NOT ON THE REPAIR ORDER SO MAYBE THEY JUST CHARGED IT UP. THEY ALSO TOLD ME THAT THERE WAS CARBON BUILD UP ON THE VALVES AND THAT COMPRESSION WAS 90 70 165. I WAS TOLD TO RIDE AT HIGHER RPM'S TO PREVENT CARBON BUILD UP. *TR
