I would stay away from any other Triumph tunes besides the basic one. The others actually close the secondary throttle plates even more. I would do the cat delete and remove the secondaries. That will give a noticeable pick-me-up in the lower gears. Just do a 12 minute tune after mods are complete and you should be good.
There is no replacement for displacement.

Ray Jay,

ToRs with the CAT left in will be slightly deeper, but not much louder than stock.

CAT delete and standard pipes will be louder, but not intrusively so.

ToRs and CAT delete is much louder, although a bit quieter than Jardines.

I would get whichever Triumph tune that goes with the set up you go for. I'm not sure the 12 minute tune will take care of the lean spots in the first three gears caused by removing the secondaries without using a specific tune for them out. This would involve Tuneboy, PCIII or PCV because Triumph doesn't do a tune for no secondaries. I've never heard that any Triumph tune limits the secondaries to less than 67% of opening (which is what the standard tune does).

I have the cat delete and stock pipes. Sounds much better than stock. I just did the 12 min. tune and she runs great.

I'm not sure any improvement in performance would be big enough to make much difference. It will feel faster, coz it sounds better. Anything that lets it breath easier can only be good though.

I can sympathise on the spanner front, I'm hopeless. I discovered many years ago that every time I open a toolbox I cost myself more money than I'm trying to save. Each to his own for me. I'll be good at what I do, and someone who's good at their job can work on my bike.

Some people seem to think you're not a real biker unless you can fix em. They can say it to my face, if they can catch me, but I doubt it.





This is what it looked like before it ate it's own gearbox. While it was off the road for the rebuild I accumulated a few bits and ideas for it.

It'll be different again when it comes back out.

My major improvement has been getting an empty cat. Next will be secondaries. Didn't change anything on the tune since I got it according to Dink.

The simplest and most obvious way to liven up any motor is to let it breath.
but of course some like to force feed 'em. lol
