I have some trouble with the 5 to 6 upshift on my 06-any body got any ideas or a like hang up??
My tops of my toes actually hurt from the force required after a busy ride. I do wear boots (not flip flops like CB)

There was a thread on this a while back. Apearently it is a warranty issue and your dealer should take care of it. From what I read it's just a couple of springs that need to be replace. Mine does the same thing, I thought it was just me until I read the thread on it.

I've got a 2006 model with about 7000kms, (dont ask me miles, no idea). When I first bought it I found all of the shifting took a bit of an effort compared to jap bikes. This has settled down though, and although I may be imagining things I feel it shifts better once the bikes warmed up and moving after a few k's.

Specifically however, yes there is a definite false neutral when I change up from 5 to 6. Its not hard to change at all, just has that double movement feel.

There was thread here a looooong time ago about taking off the shift, checking the lube on the joints, and then whacking them back together. Its easy to do, takes about 15 minutes. This may be your problem if the shift is as hard to change as you say, (which just isnt right). As for the false neutral between 5-6, I just live with it.

Hope that helps some.

Try reading n6yga's thread about "Warrenty Issues".
He had his problem fixed under warranty and loves it. I think his was the same year and had the same symptoms as your bike.

Every Triumph triple I`ve had has been similar. My Tiger got better as the mileage increased but initially they were all the same, including my new 07 S3. An occasional false neutral and a stiff shift or a 'double click' between 5th and 6th. My Sprint seemed to be worse when I was riding slowly and changing up at lower revs.
I found an easy solution. If I short shift (no clutch) up the box, the problem dissappears and the change is super smooth. So for the last couple of years I`ve been short shifting from 3rd gear upwards.

My Daytona 675 doesn`t do it at all and doesn`t seem to have a typical trumpy gearbox.
go figure!
