Tommy,

 The more miles or kms you put on the bike the smoother it will shift. I
would say that 6,000 mi is when my Sprint St started to smooth out. I
Have been told that Triumph uses square cut gears and it takes them a
little while to break in.

 I hope this helps, and welcome to the list.
 Ride safe
