Roadster transmission problems sorted.... My a***!

Most gearbox problems are caused by human error
Or **** gearboxes! The fact that triumph produce an "up grade" kit (made in japan) might suggest that there is a problem with the boxes. I guess people with God like riding skills would not need such things but there are an awful lot of unfortunate RS owners (both looney razzers and cruisers) who do. If a missed gear causes a domino effect leading to a wrecked box then there is surely something amiss! I think even you (living legend) have missed the odd gear at some point....

As promised attached are pics of what I managed to do to my box. Comments welcomed as are comparisons of other crap riders' gearbox pics as there may be some common threads . To reiterate this is on a 2011 roadster having done 13000 miles and, having had 5 Ducatis and a BMW before the Trumper with absolutely no issues, does start begging questions regarding triumph build quality...surely?

you have to have a sense of humour to enjoy life ,post something with a chance of a punch line and some blokes are onto it like a seagull on a chip or a starving chook onto a crippled grass hopper but all in fun mate
Certainly would not take it any other way my friend ! I have developed a great sense of humour over the years having a 22 inch LONG neck lol . at least I know now not to mention my 18 inch feet ? You guys would only take the piss !
 
YES the upgrade kits are for the older bikes and yes Ive missed gears before and thats what causes the rounded dogs and then jumping out of gear so be careful and make positive shifts
