Consumer Description

WHILE STOPPED AT INTERSECTION, I WAS ATTEMPTING TO ACCELERATE FROM 1ST GEAR TO 2ND GEAR HAD A TOTAL LOSE OF POWER. HAD TO SHIFT INTO 3RD GEAR TO CONTINUE THRU THE TRAFFIC LIGHT INTERSECTION. WHEN TRYING TO UP SHIFT HAD LOSE OF POWER IN 4TH GEAR ALSO AND HAD TO SHIFT INTO 5TH TO MAINTAIN SPEED. AFTER REMOVING CLUTCH CASE COVER FOUND A BROKEN BRASS SPRING IN BOTTOM OF THE CRANK. AFTER READING THE MAINTENANCE MANUAL IT APPEARED TO BE THE GEAR SELECTOR SPRING, WAS VERIFIED BY TRIUMPH TECH THAT IT WAS. NOW I HAVE TO TURN BIKE IN TO A TRIUMPH SERVICE CENTER TO REPLACE A $4 SPRING, WHICH REQUIRE REMOVAL OF THE ENGINE TO REPLACE. THE CLUTCH SYSTEM I SEE AS A TREND ELEVATING THE RISK FOR RIDERS/DRIVERS. *TR
