Just giving my Gen 2 Explorer a deep clean ( do it twice a year with all my bikes) and I've got to say, I genuinely believe that the Triumph build quality on the modern bikes is second to none.
Try telling that to the people who own the newer T120, T100, Thruxton & Bobber Bonnevilles

The fastners are are ok, just the bare polished aluminium casings and wheel rims that are especially vulnerable - that should be pretty obvious but I guess you have to spoon feed the modern biker or they whinge. My Thruxton R cases are wiped over with ACF50 even when it’s sitting unused in the garage.

My Bonnie is now 14 years old, was used every day by the previous owner for work. It was completly shit up when I bought it - bit of TLC and everything is bright & shiny again, no rust, impressed overall, one of my previous Triumphs had fastners that rusted on sight!
Out of interest. Did your dealer warn you of possible corrosion issues if you didn't keep on top of your cleaning regime?
