    Ok sorry I haven't been on here in a while. Here's where I'm at.... The sprag clutch. Bad thing is I don't know where to start to fix it. Any help would be appreciated

    Very sluggish when trying to start. Pulled the starter to see if it was spinning slow when it was out of the bike, it wasn't. I did a lot of searching and watching a few videos of the noise it makes when bad and all that fun stuff. So it may be a long shot, but I'm thinking it might be worth checking into. I was hoping it was easy to repair. From what I've read it's a pain to get to.

    Not a quick job, but also not too difficult to split the engine. Worst part is taking it out and then refitting it.
    Where are you?

    I'm in Southwest Missouri. So the engine needs taken it of the frame?

    I dont know.
    I have heard of many sprag clutch replacement which do not require engine removal or split. Im probably wrong

    unfortunately the t5 engine is one that it needs to be split.

    Hi all, brand new on here so please bear with me till I learn the ropes. Am interested in purchasing one of these bikes and am waiting for the next year model to arrive and wondered if anyone has an idea of when this new model will be released by Triumph? I understand that they are likely to use the new upgraded dash which I particularly like which is installed on the smaller bike. Anyone got a line on when the new model will be released?
