Off all your post I will only take issue with the wording of this. I've had 3 single sided swingarm Triumphs, two 955 and the current 1050, none of the adjusters have seized. With a total of 173,000 miles between the three of them. I am not known for cleaning bikes
They only started to grease the hub assembly at the factory on the 1050's and prior to that they left the factory with no grease at all. I had to strip the hub down on both mine as they both seized.
The rest, well it happens to all manufacturers occationally. I won't say Triumphs are perfect, but they are pretty darn comparable in todays market.
Indeed, no manufacturer is immune from making a Friday bike, it is how they deal with issues that is remembered long after the bike is sold, especially if the response they give is poor.
Why is it I only ever see this term "furry alloy" from English folks?
Now you are assuming that just because I am in England I am English
