So they just regrind the old shute gears... What stops this happening time and time again if I don't get them modified like you did?

Absolutely nothing other than riding gentle and never gunning your bike specially between 1-2 gears. With the stock gear profile they have the specialists said they will fail on a bike with that much torque of ridden hard (The way supposed to be)

Triumph has advertised this bike as a power bike with world champion stunt riders popping wheelies and power slides and stuff but when you ask 'em why the gears are bust they say "Your fault mate. It is a cruiser and you are riding it too hard"
 


Sigh...... This is hard truth but a truth none the less.

Sorry mate unfortunately I know exactly how you feel and what you may have to experience.

Don't you guys have crazy winters there? You can make it a winter project.

It really is not rocket science and I am sure a long with me there will be plenty of people offering you help and knowledge.

I would recommend a full rebuilt. Pistons, Cams, Head port and polish, valves, clutch and even a full exhaust system.

That way you will have a +200bhp reliable bike. In other words you will have a new bike not a fixed bike

I did mine for 10k (AUD and Canada Dollar pretty much the same) including paint work and body work.

The result is worth it + you build a bond with your bike. I know it sounds weird but it is true.

 
This is what you need to get done.

 
You could just do the dog gears tho. If you are able to remove and refute the engine yourself would save allot if coin. A motorcycle mechanic should be able to remove the gears and send away for undercutting and reassemble the engine
 
I may have found a fix to my issue.....

It's called a 2017 Harley Davidson Street Glide Special

Good Luck!
I personally know of Three 2017 HDs that have had oil pump failures. One under 2K miles, One under 3K miles and the last one which owner had modified to the tune of around $6000 Parts, Labor and Dyno time "to put that Triumph in its place" under 4K miles!
Oh, he didn't put us anywhere!
The group consensus is "they shoulda waited until the new motors proved themselves and all the bugs where out"!
