Triumph Tech News #168 Modified Gear Selector Kit

[digital]

Thanks Coconut

[digital]

I was asking about the parts list because I thought the kit made up everything in the second photo.

It would be interesting to see what difference there is between those 4 modified and unmodified parts according to the engine number that Coconut has put below engine number 752514.

I still have all those parts disassembled in case someone needs to know or compare.

Does this kit require engine removal?

[Coconut]

The engine does not need to be removed.   

Disclaimer :
I would not recommend anyone attempt this, unless they are competent in their abilities. 

According to the Service Manual, the Transmission is of a Cassette type design,
which allows removal of the complete Transmission as an assembly with the front bevel box.

Transmission Removal :

1. Disconnect the Battery
2. Remove the left side Upper and Lower Fairings
3. Remove the Gear Linkage cover
4. Remove the Clutch
5. Remove the Rear Bevel Box
6. Remove and discard the 10 Transmission fixings ( bolts )
7. Withdraw the Transmission assembly from the two Crankcase halves, collecting the two location dowels

After removing the Transmission, the instructions in the Service Manual
should be followed to remove the Selector Shaft, Drum and Forks etc.

Cheers

Excuse my ignorance on this but my engine number is 720xxx. Based on the engine number quoted I don't need to do the retrofit but can if I want to. But I am curious as to how engines are numbered ?? After all, I know there aren't 32000 Trophys on the planet. Anyone know ??

Going by what I were told whilst on the factory tour, the next number is just issued to the next bike that's on the production line, which doesn't have one particular model on it.
