    Hi new to all this
    I have recently purchased a speed triple 1050 registered 2010. Noticing a few issues if someone could help
    1st issue only every now and again its impossible to move it from 1st gear into 2nd ? I took bike back to garage but they said it did not happen to them since getting it back its done it a few times.

    2nd issue when riding its making a ticking noise from the engine ? Is this the injectors ?

    Hope someone can help.

    thanks Nei

    Hello Neil and welcome.
    Do you mean the gears won’t shift while you’re riding or when stationary? Sounds like the clutch isn’t disengaging fully so make sure the cable is adjusted correctly with about 2/3mm free play at the lever. Also check the chain is correct adjusted with about 25/30mm of movement in the centre of the lower chain run and with no tight spots.
    You shouldn’t be able to hear the injectors whilst running but diagnosing noises and rattles is nigh on impossible just from a description.
    Good choice of ride tho, best of luck with it.

    Thanks for the reply and advice mate. I will check all them things best way to describe the gears when I pull away in 1st shifting up to second is basically impossible it’s like it’s jammed. And the ticking noise sound like tapets on an old car. Love the bike I have a bmw 1200gt too and it’s amazing to ride compared to that.
