sprintster1 aberdeenshire, United Kingdom Posts: 138 Sprint ST (99-01) 31 Jul 2012 21:27	Hi guys,went out for a run on my 18,000 mile Sprint Executive on Sunday.Everything was great until I stopped for a coffee then when I got back on the bike I couldn't get out of second gear.When I got home after 30 miles of this and had a look the lever wasn't returning when I kicked up.I noticed that the linkage bar has got a slight bend at the foot peg end,is this right or should it be straight? The bike has been dropped on it's left side at sometime in it's life but I've owned it for 2000 miles without a problem before.In fact I've always been amazed how much smoother the gearbox is compared to my 955 ST!

A happy bunny!

sprintster1 aberdeenshire, United Kingdom Posts: 138 Sprint ST (99-01) 25 Mar 2013 19:14	Yeah,I'd say as far as the clutch/gearbox goes Triumph took a step backwards with the ST.

But a hydraulic clutch would be a good idea. The only problem I've know was with my Father-in-laws Aprilla where the clutch fluid used to 'boil'.
