Finally I got around to replacing the gear position sensor today once I receiving fitting instruction directly from Triumph after I complained that supplying a modified sensor Kit which is not a plug and play replacement they should have instruction with it!!. After reading this it seamed fairly straight forward except for 1 item which said (check service manual) to remove the air filter box so that the wiring had too route in front of it, so I looked up in the service book on how to remove the air box and you have to basically dismantle most of the bike to do this, remove tank/seat/side panels/battery/rear wheel/rear mud guard the list goes on, you can see why Triumph did not issue a recall. Anyway after having a laugh I pulled myself together and got on with the job regardless and re routed the wiring without ripping the bike apart. So fitting this modified sensor Kit which comes not only just the sensor but also a fly lead as this has to be plumped into the wiring harness sensor circuit (4 connection). The new sensor comes with 4 wires where as the old sensor has 3, also on the Roadster only you have to swap around 1 wire in the taco as the Roadster displays the gear position. This is the fiddliest part to do, you have to dismantle the taco unplug it swap the wires around and refit. So you can see my gripe as this is what you call a bodge job from Triumph and me £90.00 out of pocket.
