Speed Triple Rs 4th Gear Problems

Thank you for the email and again for your great work, Chris !!!!

 

Awfully confusing typo! fixed now.

 

I just got this part changed here in Sweden. Even changed the feel up upshifting with the clutch. Now there is no resistance..

 

The feel changed dramatically also for me. So it was an issue.

 

Just an update on my 2019 RS. My new linkage was installed on 6/29/19 and on that date my bike had 1,942 miles on it. My bike now has 2,437 miles on it so I've had the new linkage for 500 miles. I'm happy to report that my QS is working beautifully with nary a hiccup. Considering all that many on this forum and this thread in particular have gone through, I consider myself lucky and blessed that my QS is happy.

 

That’s great Sandi, I’m glad it hasn’t been an issue for you. If memory serves me well, you never did have any problems did you? I’m at 5000 km’s now and love my Speedy, even without a working quickshifter.

 

Hi, Steve. Thanks! Yes, I'm so glad my quick shifter is working like a charm. I didn't have the sorts of problems you've unfortunately dealt with but prior to changing out the arm my shifts weren't as clean and crisp as they are now. Plus I am feeling way more confident of the integrity of my QS after the change so that's worth a lot too. Glad you are loving your Speedy even without the quick shifter. I'm so happy I decided to trade my Thruxton R for my Speed Triple. Loved my Thrux but I am IN LOVE with my Speedy!

 

Its not often i get to go much, gear box problems and life......but all that aside NOW I HAVE A F@#KING MONUMENTAL FUEL LEAK, soon as i put the bike in run mode, the pump dumps its load all over!!! WHAT THE ACTUAL!!!

Emailed my dealer and triumph uk....... to say I'm not a happy man would be a serious understatement.

 

I am sorry

Sorry to hear that. I red about it few times.

 

What is it like bud, i refuse to get my spanners out.

 

Jesus Christ! The dealer should be able to sort that out quickly.

 

I think I’ll stick with the Thruxton, you boys seem to really suffer with the RS, and I was thinking of a change to a Scrambler or the RS but both seem to have a few issues

 

I rode a thruxton 1200 once. You can not compare this bikes. I would never buy a thruxton, rather stay with my old Harley Sportster ;-)

 

I have no doubt, my dealers fab.
But you cant polish a turd and am i shite gunna keep this now, especially out of warranty.
If i had a shrubbery at hand , I'd of give it a "dam gud thrashing"!!

 

Well that’s certainly a bit of bad luck for sure. It’s too bad because it’s really a great bike.
