New To Triumph, Advice Please

Hello Dave and welcome into the Triumph Asylum - you'll soon see why ????

Re gear changes if you are changing at 3000 rpm or above the changes should be slick and clean - excepting 1st to 2nd which on most bikes is a little bit clunky I've always found - the rest should be pretty-much nice through butter.

Have you checked the clutch clearance ? I find that on the bikes you want VERY little clearance at the lever. As a quick experiment tighten out all the clearance and test ride.

 

,Dave,the box on my new T100 is a bit clonky but having ridden Harleys for years i dont worry about it.

 

Welcome to the forum David.
My advice would be to book a test ride on the same spec bike at one of the dealers, then you can compare it for yourself rather than trusting the dealers telling you it's all okay.

 

Welcome in to the forum, tend to find on most bikes 1st to 2nd and vice verse is clonky.
As long as the rest of the gears are ok I wouldn't worry about.
An oil change if it hasn't been done for a bit would prob help.
I always notice an improvement in gear changes once I've done that
