Clutch gone after 2 months......

Maybe I"m wrong but I don't see the clutch lasting longer as it is constantly engaging and releasing when throttle is increased and decreased. Seems you also loose the engine braking ability.
 
A slipper clutch doesn't keep slipping. It smooths out the initial bite on downshift,
and engine decel. should remain the same, I would think.
 
Triumph should think of a slipper clutch for the slipper clutch. What easily off the attention goes is that our locomotive, unproperly called bike, with a 2.3 respectively 2.5 liters engine is NOT to be treated the same as a sport bike, realm where the slipper clutches were called into existance.
It takes more than putting different parts together to get a real great product.

I will keep watching how Triumph understands, or simply doesn't, the business they are in. I believe they try to align their business model to the sinking ship that HD is.
 
Traction control is just that isnt it?...But what the hell do i know?......seems to me, when we were puppies on our Bonnies...Beezers...etc...putting the front wheel against a wall without having to hold the front brake when doing a burnout was a real hoot!...at worse we stretched the chain and took many miles of rubber off the tyre...
 
Cool video. Do they have a video of what happens when someone does a burn out and it chews itself into a pile of mush like Rock Ape's did? Because that would be fun to watch too.

Sorry if I've frustrated you, hopefully you can work past that and share your thoughts. Seriously, I'm here to learn.
