i wasnt told on handover that doing some green lanes would make it dirty,
That'll be warranty then 
Lucky it's not a Triumph! Here is the latest on preventative maintenance from their owners handbooks:-
Preventative Maintenance:
Do not use your bike between October and May. Even outside of these months check the weather forecast before venturing out as claims will be refused if there was the slightest chance of inclement weather, particularly if salt is still being used.
If the weather forecast is clear but you do get caught in a shower:
a) Did you see the dark clouds and rain falling in the distance - if so did you either stop or take an avoiding route?
b) Did you run over water in the road due to someone washing their car?
If a) or b) are encountered then:
Return home as quickly as possible, wash the bike, dry it and liberally apply anti-corrosion materials as specified elsewhere.
If you do try and submit a claim, proof of the weather forecast and photos of your bike (before and after cleaning/preparation) will be required and signed by a High Court Judge - at your expense obviously.
Finally, we would like to thank you for buying Triumph and hope that you have many years (fingers crossed) of carefree ownership.

Just something I borrowed from this thread over at Triumph Torque. I'm not the only one by a long shot to have experienced their unique customer service

Nice to see that Triumph's attitude to their customers has remained consistent over the years
It's a wonder they still have any customers .....and I've got one !

The arse end of a GS is the second biggest shit magnet known to mankind IMO
....and the biggest ? - The arse end of a GSA of course
WTF they don't come with a mudsling & side panels as Original Equipment is a mystery to me.

It's not as if BMW sell them as accessories either, unlike some other manufacturers.

Mudslings are fitted almost every new GS in Benham's showroon. I found that number plate extender and no wheel shovel stopped a lot of muck getting thrown forwards.
after reading through some of that triumph stuff i think bm warrenty is bloody good.

My accountant has the highest mileage Explorer in the UK (40k in 14 months). He had paint peeling off the FD so he pointed it out to the dealer. He wasn't moaning or wanting a replacement but was just saying this is what happening with a well used bike. He's had a couple of gasket issues as well but nothing to worry about and were fixed under warranty. Triumph asked if they could have the bike back at the factory to take a look which was no problem. They wanted to see how a high mileage EXP was going in the real world. A few days later Triumph rang him up and said they had changed the whole FD and the engine and gearbox by way of a thank you for letting them pull the bike apart.
Perhaps they found something in a high mileage motor they didn't like
Congratulations on riding your new bike through a puddle.

Don't be so defensive.
