First bike triumph tiger 955i

[Triumphant]

Just passed my test and bought my first bike a tiger 955i.
After long first ride I noticed on a couple of occasions when changing gear it would not engage properly and felt like it was stuck between gears. It would only go into gear once I'd slowed down to about 10mph. Anyone had this problem or is it just user error on my part. Also when I finally finished my ride I noticed coolant leaking from hose under seat by back tyre. I've noticed a few posts on this with regards to rad cap but would like any advice on what else to check etc.

hi there and welcome to TT from Scotland , your gear problem could be rider error as I get it some times when you miss time a gear change or you just hav'nt clicked it in right .
the coolant leak could be that your header tank is to full and is getting rid of the excess coolant , I would check the level and top up if need be and I would also check your fan is working as it could be its getting a tad hot and the fan is not cooling it .
