Tiger900 Gtpro

any different behavior using the clutch vs the quick shifter?

 

Sorry to read about your problem Stuart. Please let us know the outcome of the dealer inspection.

 

Yes sorry to hear your bike is playing up. I’m also interested in what the problem is ?

 

Have you checked the gear shift rod nuts haven't loosened off a bit

 

Hi Stuart, I think your dealer is probably referring to machines he has not had in the workshop rather than nationally, there are a number of owners experiencing the same issue as yourself, some have had their bikes stick in second gear, others in fourth gear, it seems to happen now and again rather than at regular intervals, personally I think it is a software issue within the EMU, if it was a gearbox selector fault, then it would be there all the time, it is not just the Tiger 900 Pro that has this fault, some Speed Triples and Street Triples have the same issue, it is more common than Triumph seem to admit. Insist the dealer completes a thorough examination of your bike, this may require them to keep it for a number of days completing a number of test rides to see if the issue arises on a test run.

 

I mean, l'm glad you appear to be heading towards a resolution, but really, a worn selector drum etc at 24k miles? What kind of shit are Triumph building their bikes with? They should be ashamed to tell you....

 

Hi Stuart, to fit the selector drum it is an engine out job, and a strip down of the gearbox, when fitting the selector drum it will need a new bearing, spring, and possibly some other parts, the dealer must have been quick to strip it all down to ascertain the problem. I hope you took out the optional extended warranty being your machine is 3 years old, without meaning to upset you to complete the work if there is no warranty, you will be looking around £1700. Keep the forum updated, sometimes Triumph will offer the supply of parts free as a goodwill gesture, but not the labour, and this is usually conditional that the bike bike has been serviced at the times stated by a Triumph dealer. please keep the forum posted on your progress.

 

I had problems with the quickshifter on my GT Pro 900. It worked fine for over two years but once the bike got over 22000 miles on it I began to have problems. Would not shift 3rd to 4th or 4th to 5th and refused to downshift at all.

A week later all would be fine for a while and then back to not shifting. It appeared to be a common problem from reports online - sometimes due to it getting wet, so mine was always liberally sprayed with WD40/GT85 after washing or a wet ride.

Have to say I solved the problem by trading the Tiger in for a Transalp but that probably doesn't help!

 

@Stuart 1 Glad to hear you got the Tiger sorted and for a reasonable price. Enjoy.

 

Really pleased and relieved for you mate. Now cram a few miles in before you get confined to barracks by the advancing seasons.

 

Good result for you Stuart. Poor misdiagnosis ( is that a word ? ) by Triumph. Doesn't surprise me. Happy riding again.

 

Great result for you.

 

Glad it is sorted for you, it does not surprise me regarding the misdiagnosis at Triumph, some Speed Triple 1050s had those parts fail, the last Speed Triple 1050 I replaced the parts with from Germany, the spring is more heavy duty compared to the OEM ones, these replacement parts transformed the way the machine went through the gearchanges. I have said it before, that now the majority of parts are made in Thailand the quality seems to be inferior to when most had previously been UK manufactured. I think the cost was reasonable given the time to dismantle and replace the clutch pack in the correct order, not as straightforward as you may think. Hope you have many enjoyable trouble free rides.
