WHEN DOWNSHIFTING FROM 3RD GEAR TO 2ND GEAR, THE TRANSMISSION DOES NOT ENGAGE SECOND GEAR, BUT GOES INTO NEUTRAL. THIS HAPPENS IN MOTION AND RESULTS IN A SUDDEN LOSS OF POWER OR ENGINE BRAKING. IT APPEARS TO HAPPEN IN BOTH HIGH LOAD AND LOW LOAD SITUATIONS AND AT VARIOUS SPEEDS. THIS OCCURS IN BOTH STREET AND HIGHWAY CONDITIONS AND MOST ALARMINGLY WHILE TURNING. THIS IS APPARENTLY A WELL KNOW ISSUE WITH THIS GENERATION OF TRIUMPH TIGER EXPLORER MODELS, WITH NUMEROUS REFERENCES TO THIS ON THE OWNERS FORUMS.
