Triumph Sprint RS 955i baffling

[leener]

So, I have a lovely yellow Triumph with the triple engine (the colour is important, because... it is) - which had the weediest sounding exhaust in the universe.

I replaced it with a blue flame pipe that has no baffle. It sounds freakin' awesome compared to before, and I am not putting the old one back on without a fight. It isn't "too" loud at all. I think it's just right not to upset the neighbours and just enough for people to hear me coming up the middle in traffic.

My question is - does anyone know of where to find, or have a fuel map suitable for it? It feels like it's holding back slightly at times.

I had a little trouble starting it this morning, and it's the second morning starting it from cold. The first morning wasn't a problem at all - but this morning was a little cold outside. After a few go's, I left the clutch out when trying, and just hit the starter instead. It clicked and I kept my thumb down on it for a few seconds. I tried again - clutch in, start, and vrrooom!

The only fault codes on it were about the fuel gauge relay, which I'll deal with.

One thing that I hate about this bike is that when it rains (every soddin' day, ever, since England was invented), the inside of the fuel cap gets water inside. There is a little lip around the inside hole, and the outer bit seems to pool with water. I swear some of this is getting into the tank.

You need to search the web for a map that you can install with tune ecu or get someone to remap it on a dyno using tune ecu (best option)

as for the water it sounds like you have a blocked drain

Also Triumph have a remap designed for the aftermarket Arrow exhaust. But it works well on most other cans like scorpion, yoshi etc.

Give a dealer a bell for a price if you don't want to do it yourself. It'll be about 50 quid.

I found this collection - http://tuneecu.com/Tune_List.html I'll have a go with these later when I get home.

It is booked in for new plugs, oil, filter, and air filter tomorrow. CBA to do it myself, so I'll pay my local mechanic to do it.

Hopefully it starts

Lucky I got the mechanic to do it because I literally have not enough time to make a cuppa anymore.

In cylinder 1, the sparkplug was missing the compression ring, and there was evidential damage to the inner thread inside the head. There was oil over the top and onto the lead and the inner walls of the head for cylinder 1, and a little on number 3. Hopefully the new plugs will be ok... but someone would have had to wind and unscrew the ring to get that off the plug... why?

The air intake, part of that had been snapped off. So, somebody had been messing with it.

What a bloody mess. TF is wrong with people?

All fixed now and purrs.
