    3rd gear slipping on high torque

    Finally found the time (and a bridge to put the bike on) to have a proper look. I found there's more ways to adjust the cable. I managed to adjust the cable to where it has the proper slack. (See picture). Just went for a test ride and problem solved! Thanks for your patience with this noob...

    So that's not the adjuster behind the clutch lever on the picture? You mean the other end, on this picture?

    3rd gear slipping on high torque

    It's been too busy, but I managed to make some time and check. I have the feeling this was set awfully tight, as I can hardly pull it back to create the space seen in the pictures you sent. There is also absolutely no slack on the clutch lever, so I think this might be an issue. This is mine:

    No worries whatsoever. That's the hard part of communicating only by writing. So much is lost without all things non-verbal. Thanks so much for the pictures and explanation, will check that stuff once I am home tomorrow.

    3rd gear slipping on high torque

    Wow guys, I am not doubting your knowledge for a second! If I for any reason gave you that feeling, I apologize! Just trying to learn and understand what could be going on and creating a plan from it. I get information from more than one side, so it can be confusing. As I am also by no means a...

    3rd gear slipping on high torque

    What do you mean exactly? In relation to the other answers, the slippage is confirmed to be just I third gear by a friend bike mechanic. So it couldn't be oil or adjustment related if I understand the mechanics a bit, or could it?

    3rd gear slipping on high torque

    Sorry, English is not my native language hehe. When I am in third gear and go heavy on the throttle, the bikes rpm increases, but the speed does not... as much as it did before. No skipping, just slipping.

    3rd gear slipping on high torque

    I've added about 6000 km's to the clock of my r3 after buying it 2nd hand and I find the clutch is starting to slip. I haven't abused it, just cruised it. Is this a known thing, just 3rd gear slipping? 1st and 2nd are fine, so are 4th and 5th. If needed, what would it take in hours to change...

    Newbie on the rocket side

    Hi! Hans here from The Netherlands, bought a '16 Rocket III Roadster last season and having an absolute blast so far! The insanely deep growl that is produced by this thing is mind (and ear) blowing. My fourth Triumph so far, still also own a '08 Daytona 675. The others are history. Been riding...
