and there’s the rub. Decisions, decisions.
Pretty sure the 400 can handle that duty when the time comes.
Besides, at this point in my life, I don't feel like restoring another motorcycle. Rather just ride.

That may be true up north, but in the US, I do believe that there was legislation passed that nixed that idea. I’m sure someone here knows the details.Rich

And at $300+ for the service, (basically an oil change, plus a bunch of checks), it isn't gonna happen.
Besides, when I brought it home, the tire pressures were 7-8lbs high, and the oil and coolant was overfilled.
So doing it myself seemed like a good idea.
Still need to take it in to get the service light turned off.Bob T. ~~ Play the GSR weekly photo game: Pic of Week Game

I do all my own services. Triumph dealer for me was 4/5 hours round trip (at the time before Triumph Vermont moved in a few years back) so Triumph just asked for documentation and they backed up my warranty even when I had the catastrophic output shaft / 6th gear failure in the transmissions. I buy all my oil filters from the dealer so they know and have record of my purchases.
Triumph did the 20K mile service (valves) when the transmission blew at 20K miles (first year/4 months) and they replaced it, free of charge no warranty issues. They did the service on their dime at the same time, apparently was easy to do the valve adjustment with the motor out of the bike. I can say the valve checks are easy as pie, every 20K miles... And it's been just checks ever since.
They advised me to move to 5K mile oil changes. I also advise that to any and all Triumph owners. I will say Triumph does stand behind their bikes and even last month they reflashed a Key for me for free... Bike is well beyond it's warranty but they support my bike.
I have the ECU tune software on my phone and with a BT OBD2 reader I can adjust my maintenance lights (little wrench icon). I have mine set for 5000 mile intervals. I can also do cool stuff like blead the ABS system, etc. Might be worth looking into if that's an option on the 400 single.
I really love that bike Bob, I can see one in my herd in the future.
I have to do another service for my Triumph at the end of the month, 110K mile service.
