Wasen't that a problem in 2004 when the first 800 Rockets landed here?

Sorry Rainman, just caught this thread. You seem to be onto it though. Here was my discussion: http://www.r3owners.net/common-issues/12026-jumping-out-gear-help.html?highlight=jumping+gear
Triumph (Aus) covered mine as a goodwill thing. Don't leave it to the dealer to follwup. Give Triumph a call yourself and say that you can show (on here) plenty of examples of the spring failing and it's clearly a design fault (or weakness at least) and that it would be the decent thing to do for them to cover it. Guy here told me it should only be an hour's work if done properly so don't let your dealer tell you it's a full day or that engine has to come out.
Good luck with it.

Just completed the detent job on my bike, spring is on backorder till the 25th of this month. Called around and found one in Ft Worth. Easy job if you do it yourself. I've already preordered the parts to do the job again, just incase. Also ordered the clutch shaft, I've already gone through 2 of those.
