    Well...it's been a busy Summer, lots of Festivals I went into Triumph and explained the, intermittent, problem I was having changing from 2nd to 3rd and 3rd to 4th. It's just back from (yet another fracking puncture...I've now had four rear tyres, in a year and a half...and I've only been able...

    I have been working away from home for a few weeks, so I've only ridden a couple of times, however, the last time I was out, I had another situation where I couldn't change from 2nd into 3rd. Could this just be a clutch adjustment issue, or could it be something more serious...that might be...

    I have no idea how the UK factory works, but I do have it on good authority, from a dealer who went on a visit/tour, that there were seven bikes at the end of production, that didn't pass inspection...and one of them had the wrong cylinder head attached. :banghead: So a circlip being in the...

    Sorry to hear that @tails :( Is the problem that you can't change up to 5th? Only I had that between 2nd & 3rd and 3rd & 4th, but have no idea why. Took it out the following day and gave it 2 hours of 'Fun', but couldn't replicate the problem o_O Keep us posted...and Best of Luck! :)

    I would like Triumph to come clean on the 'Circlip' / Gearbox issue. Identify the cause of the problem and either rectify it, or give guidence of to how to avoid it. In my mind, it's either a design fault (and there have been a few), a manufacturing fault, or an assembly issue. When 'The...

    Seriously, I have not abused this bike...I am still f**king paying for it! I rode my Thunderbird Storm in the same way and never had a problem...and did twice the mileage o_O

    Here's one for you.... Took 'The Beast' out today, 7am - 7pm, which consisted of 9 hours of actual riding. The whole day involved ALL types of roads, Motorways, 'A' roads and 'B' roads...Cities, Towns and Villages. Changing gears upto 4,000 rpm. Two Thirds of the way into the journey, I hit a...

    The Triumph Dealership in Birmingham (UK) used to use Castrol, exclusively, but now recommends Fuchs Silkolene 10w40 Fully Synthetic (it's Red in colour) and I've just replaced it, after the 500 mile run-in period, with Amsoil 10w40...:cool:

    Mine didn't, but I think @mr hunt 's did. I suppose it depends on why yours is making a noise. If the circlip has come adrift (like on mine) then there's a whole Output Shaft just waiting to mess with your day :mad: Take it easy :):thumbsup:

    @TimR3 I'm sorry to hear that you are having problems :( I would advise you not to ride it until it has been repaired. From first hearing and feeling the 2nd gear noise/vibration, it only took a few miles before (in my case) 4th gear shattered. I was very lucky, as I was close to home and...

    WHALE OIL BEEF HOOKED! I called Don at Performance Oils UK (they supply Amsoil in England) and, in his opinion, bearing in mind that I don't Track Race, I have the best suited 10w40 oil available (of course he would say that ;)) However, I have delved a little deeper and this is what I found...

    In England, we get about a week of hot weather, which is known as, 'Summer'. The rest of the time is probably, on average, around 10 degrees and less :laugh:

    @Neville Lush, I have read that SAE 15w-50 is favoured by some owners. The Triumph dealership uses Fuchs Silkolene Fully Synthetic 10w-40, so I went looking for the best I could find in that range and discovered Amsoil, whose oil surpasses the general requirements. Mobil 4T seems to be a...
