 Description of the problemTransmission at around 3000 rpm with a slightly heavy application of throttle it will jump out of second gear, it seems hard to get it into second and this happens up and down shifting.

Triumph has upgrade kits that cover from vin 000000 to 337294, # t1000008 for silver engines and # t1000009 for black engines. This kit has been installed on my bike and it fixed the issue. Triumph only paid for the parts, i was stuck with a $1500. 00 bill for labor and fluids required to complete the job. Currently triumphs stand on the upgrade kit is "the "upgrade" kit that you have heard of is not meant to fix anything. It is simply a collection of parts that have been changed since the beginning of the models production. It is only given to dealers that are already taking the motor out of the frame for some other reason, so that they can put the newer parts in while it is apart. There is no need to exchange any of the parts if there is no need to go into the engine. As long as your bike is operating as expected, there is no need to change anything." included in the kit are the parts to do the following: replace the camshaft drive chain tension blades and crankshaft sprocket. Replace clutch pressure springs. Replace alternator bolt and washer. Replace torsion damper shaft bearings and shaft outer cover. Replace output shaft second gear and splined dog ring.
