Last year I replaced OEM rearsets with Woodcraft including GP shift conversion kit. I was able to use OEM quickshifter. Everything worked beautifully for 1 and a half track days then I could not shift past 3rd gear over about 8K RPM's. I could shift through the gears at lower RPM's. Didn't matter if I was using the clutch or not. Over subsequent trouble shooting sessions shifting became more finicky.
I talked to Woodcraft and they had me tweaking shift arm angle but I couldn't find an adjustment that alleviated the issue.
I also found these two posts: http://www.triumph675.net/forum/showthread.php?t=112050 & http://www.triumph675.net/forum/archive/index.php/t-155945.html
Somewhat stumped and out of time to spend on this myself I took the bike to the dealer and shared all the info I could find. They said they couldn't isolate so they called Triumph. Triumph asked if it had been laid down, (it has, 2 different lowsides on left side of bike) and if so something could be bent in the transmission. They have now quoted me 4-5 hours labor ($100/hr) to inspect the transmission and another 10-12 hours to repair, if that is the issue.
Only thing I can think to do at this point is take the bike back, put stock rearset set-up back on to see if that works, keep playing with shift arm angle, take somewhere else.
Track day scheduled at PittRace on the 18th and no bike!
Thoughts?
