Your observations on this would be much appreciated It’s looking more like it’s a recognised problem that’s more towards the when it happens rather than if it happens. I’d like to hear from others that have had these issues and how they were resolved. Not in my time of riding: It’s my baby and I do not thrash it! But one of the remarks from Triumph was to the effect that it was probably rough gear changes that have caused this. I have a good relationship with the dealers and have found them to be straight shooters. As I’m getting other work done too it may be quite reasonable and I’ll just wear it. I’m waiting to see just how hefty the labour charges are for this repair are going to be before I pursue other avenues. It is well out of warranty, but my expectations when purchasing this machine were trouble-free riding. It’s still in the shop after 3 weeks and Triumph Australia, much to their credit, have agreed to replace the faulty parts and I expect they’ll be waiting for these. The bike has 27,000km / 17,000miles on it and I don’t really think a gearbox should fail at these low figures. On the return the downshift from 6th got progressively worse and eventually I had to finesse the last 25km home in 6th and barely limped in.

Had it serviced by the dealer routinely and rode it to the DGR a few weeks ago in Busselton, Western Australia.

I purchased a T120 Black new in 2016 and love it. Hello all, I’m new here and came over to this forum after seeing this thread.
