Biblical

So who is gonna be the first to say its gonna be biblical?

I apologize sincerely about that. I was a little too hung up on the here and now, so you're right to criticize. However, Kawasaki put no restrictions on the interview at all. I wouldn't have pressed record in that case. For what it's worth, I was kicking myself after for not asking for his opinion on starts. Sorry again.

credit where its due Checked all forks tonight and they are actually flat and level. Just a spot on one was a tad high so took about 2 thou off and the raised marking that was rubbing on gear needed grinding but fingers were suprisingly good.

Coming soon in 2027. Bold new starting system! Kicking is a thing of the past.

Tell me you're no fun at parties without telling me you're no fun at parties.

Agreed. 👍 I don't have one and don't plan on getting one, but I love seeing this sort of stuff. I always seem to learn more from things that aren't right than vice-versa. @lowmass - Looks like you're paying to do Triumph's final product development for them. I hate getting on that work detail. 💩 I'm curious to see how much of an improvement you get after addressing these issues.

Very impressive mechanical knowledge!! I’m pretty good at spinning wrenches for bolt on parts type stuff. You are in another level my friend. I cannot wait to hear the results when you are completed.

Very good analysis and explanation. Will be interesting to see if you have solved all the issues with your detailed work. This just reinforces my own conclusion that this is unacceptable for a five-figure racing motorcycle. As said, other manufacturers have figured out how to spec, manufacture and finish a motorcycle transmission. Triumph does not seem there yet, and it's a little surprising that a paying customer has figured out the problem and solution and not the manufacturer's engineers.

Mr. lowmass, I do not own, nor will I likely ever own a Triumph MX scooter. Having said that, I am mightily impressed by your knowledge, and willingness to break down the likely scenario that will put a better performing motorbike than what the factory delivers in your garage. Seems to me that the average gearhead dirt bike owner could follow these detailed directions and have a good outcome. Thank you Sir !

Holy $h!t. Great work here for anyone that wants to know more about their transmission operation even if they don't have a Triumph. Well done @lowmass ! That's the first time I've ever seen shift forks without polished/raised pads to move the gear. The dog finishing is somewhat understandable, but still unacceptable. What kind of corners is Triumph trying to cut? I just got done fixing an extremely high hour Honda transmission that had a very subtle bend in a shift fork. You could see one pad on the 3/4 fork that was at an slight angle compared to the...
