When I had my '08 ST always noticed the gear change improvement with fresh oil, so “normal” for that era. I think Triumph have slowly improved their gearboxes over the years.

It already improved as I replaced the clutch lifter pin with the upgraded version.
I think the next step would be upgrade steel plates with small surface notches to retain more oil.

Went ahead to have the bike ready for next week.
Changed the 2 ball and joint articulations to have a more accurate gear lever.
Did a small upgrade with hard foam and a zip tie to keep the ball & joint greased.
Old ones.
New one.
Then I purged the rear brake on the Sprint ST 1050 it’s convenient to remove the battery to access the brake fluid container… Surprise on the battery 
Looks like the heat of the exhaust on that side didn’t suit the battery.
I’ll ask Motobatt about.
I’ve now inserted an aluminium sheet as an extra heat shield (red line).

Having been to the hospital this morning where the mrs. was fitted with a walking cast I took her Trident to the dealer’s to have the frame sliders fitted that had been on back order.

How’s Jefta progressing? Was it left or right ankle, important if riding again any time soon. 
What!! Are those OE sliders? Triumph managed to manufacture something without plastering their name or logo over it. 
She has a walking cast as of yesterday, and has started fysiotherapy. It’ll be a long process to a full recovery. But for now mobile enough for me to go away for a week…
Yup, came with the deal when we purchased the bike.
Not quite…

I had a rare bimble into Wales today. A rare occurrence for me as the 20mph speed limit and cameras everywhere spoilt what used to be good riding roads.
Have passed many times but never stopped until today. The Old Stores cafe where I had a brew and bacon buttie, a very interesting little place.
