learningtofly Posted October 5, 2020 Posted October 5, 2020 Hi all - my Bike is going in for a service later today, and I have a booster plug fitted. Given that the technician I just spoke to on the phone doesn't appear to know what I'm talking about, should I be asking them to disconnect the plug for the service and then reconnect it afterwards, or will it not matter so far as diagnostics are concerned?

Mississippi Bullfrog Posted October 5, 2020 Posted October 5, 2020 Shouldn't matter. It only fools the ECU into thinking the bike is running a bit cooler so it ups the fuel mix slightly. Quote
fastbob Posted October 5, 2020 Posted October 5, 2020 I don't know what one is either so I wouldn't worry about it . Quote

A common mod on the Triumph 1200 engine as the torque on them can make them snatchy to ride in lower gears due to how lean the mix is set for emissions regs. The booster plug simply sits between the intake and the ECU and tells the ECU things are cooler than they really are so it richens the mix slightly. Some riders find it smooths things out. On mine I am just careful on the throttle and if necessary slip the clutch in lower gears. If I know I'm filtering a long way in heavy traffic I occasionally slip it into rain mode, but that's very rare. Quote
learningtofly Posted October 6, 2020 Author Posted October 6, 2020 Just for others’ benefit really, but all was fine with the plug left connected Quote
