Yeah, I'm a bit apprehensive about this service. I've gone to their shop many times over the years, and never cared much for sales staff. They also mark their parts prices up more than any other dealership I've found. Luckily TSS gave me 4 jugs of Mobil 1, 4 oil filters and a set of brake pads when they were shutting down. I still had a service plan and the parts guy felt pretty bad about it so he gave me as much stuff as I could fit in my bags and on the rack.
 
Had the same thing happen to me, I found it would stay in gear if I kept the lever depressed when changing gears... Turned out to be a broken $10 spring that sits on the end of the shifter (detent) shaft located behind the clutch, was found in 2 pieces sitting on the bottom of the clutch housing when the clutch cover was removed... A relatively easy fix considering that the gearbox wont need splitting... hope that helps you some, good luck
 
Thanks! I hope it's that easy.

Talked to the service dept. today. You were right. It was the detent spring. The best part is that Triumph is covering it. What a great company!!! Might get it back Sat., if the part gets there tomorrow.
 
That's certainly great news.

BTW, had the 20K service done at AZSBK. $182.86 and I supplied the oil and filter. Bike seems to run a bit smoother, probably due to balancing of the throttle bodies.

Just for grins I asked them what they'd give me on a trade in on a Multistrada. $4K was the answer. Hopefully he wasn't surprised when I laughed at him.

So far I'd say they are ok for routine maintenance, but not for parts and I certainly wouldn't buy a bike from them.

I hear ya on that! But for the way Performance treats me when I go down there, it's worth the trip.
Glad it didn't cost ya too much for the service. We gotta get together one of these days.

Getting past a bad dealer who won't even ask them for help seems to be the difficult part. I'm jealous as hell of you guys with good dealers ... how did I get the shaft? lol
