I was riding to work this morning and 2nd started skipping. It doesn't fall out of gear. It feels almost like a traction issue. Any ideas?

Do you know if the transmission was updated or not ? Oh and since its a 06 black or silver motor ?

I bought it from a dealership and they couldn't tell me if it had the repair or not. It has the black engine and 18k miles on it.

Stupid dealerships if I was wondering the first thing I'd do is lift the tank and see if it has the updated ignition plug sockets installed
They came in the update kit. Second I'd spin the inspection plug out in front and see if I could see what cam guide was in it.
If it had those parts I would suspect someone had installed the update kit. Oh and if they run the VIN number, if Triumph did the install they would have a record of issuing the kit and authorizing labor hours. If you owned both you could tell from the amount of backlash in the second gear dogs. Ya just have to put her in second not running and rock her back and forth.

Interesting, I never knew that and I owned mine since new in 07. Just been dreading the day mine crapped out

All praise ARISTAIOS (Aristaeus) - Life of Brain fans will appreciate the irony.

I have a 07 also and worry about it breaking also. Yet I just can't stop thrashing it.

It's what the bikes were made for. I'm not sure anyone buys a R3 to cruise. It does that well, but man does the bike get down when you're wide open banging gears just shy of red line.I have a 07 also and worry about it breaking also. Yet I just can't stop thrashing it.
