To Clunk or Not To Clunk


I've noticed this too. If I was going to race someone, I'd use the heel shifter to change gears. That is "if" I was to race someone.
 
It's probably just the more positive pressure you apply to shifting when you step down rather than lift the shifter. There is certainly more force applied alot quicker when you stomp down ... you have some give from the footwear compressing when the top of the shoe is used.

Maybe that's it.

Mitch what are you referring to as the "actuator"? Are you talking about the Gear Position Sensor (GPS), or is there something else?

It was something internal Hellfire because they pulled the motor out of my bike to get to it. It was a warranty job my bike wasn't selecting neutral and sometimes was very hard to shift gears at all.I took it to the dealer they contacted triumph and Triumph Australia said to replace it .
Something to do with the part being put together wrong from factory or something.
I dont think it was a common fault but did happen from time to time .
Sorry i cant identify the exact part Hellfire im not sure of the exact part i just know it was internal. They had my bike for a couple of days and they referred to the part as the gear actuator . It definatly wasn't the gear position sensor.

My Rocket clunks into gear more when the oil is near changing time. After an oil change I get almost no clunk.
 
Now I'm very interested .... lol
Oh well, it will probably come up again later on and someone will figgure it out. I really should go over the exploded view of the transmission in the book anyway, I got curious about the way the gear position sensor is being moved internally and just want to know more about it ... maybe I'll see what they are talking about in there.

Thanks anyway.
 
Next time im at the dealer ship ill quiz him on the part that was replaced and then give u some more info
