Warranty issues, sure, totally normal. Seeing the EXACT same diagnosis from vehicle after vehicle after vehicle, that's not normal, or acceptable.

You see though, of the 5 bikes I can think of in the last year that have posted their stories here with bent shift forks and worn dogs, NONE were dark side and NONE were making big power.

Street racing is more forgiving than track. The street doesn't hook like the track and instead of massive trans loading, you get tire spin.

NONE of the breakages are from power, ALL of them are from missassembly causing the bike to kick out of gear because the fork didn't push the gear all the way in so the dogs only partially engaged and eventually that work the dogs down.

Every single one showed these symptoms. In my case a whole spacer was MISSING inside my transmission. That has nothing to do with anything besides Triumph fing up when assembling the bike.

You can try and shift blame to the rider all you want, fact is, these late model roadsters are not being assembled with the same level of care they used to be.

WELL sure if the BOZOS are going to leave parts out WOW NOW thats crazy weve been beating the snot out of the modded bikes and they are very TUFF even with as much as 500HP so maybe its sloppy assembly and I think miss ****s are the cause of the rounded DOGS NO excuse for missing parts thats insane I have a 2012 ROADSTER and the trans is excellent and its over 250 HP so I cant complain about my bikes BUT I did watch a crazy friend miss a gear on his modded ROCKET and he FRICKED up the shift dogs right in front of me BUT that was his fault SO you can break them the ones weve seen all had rounded dogs
