    Odd Bike Cutting Out Issue

    Hi All Had a friend over in the weekend with a strange fault on his 08 R3. He took it to the local Triumph Stealership and they told him over 2 months before they could put it on their tester! There are a number of weird things going on. 1. The rev counter was playing up. I have fixed this...

    Lighting Question

    I recently fitted LED headlights and am very happy with them. Am wondering if I can remove the Eastern Beaver kit I have and use it on my other R3 that has stock lights? It will also tidy up my birds nest under the tank. My head says this is a bad idea as new headlights, even though they...

    Engine Idle Question

    Over the last few months @Paul Bryant s bike has developed an odd idling issue we have been trying to resolve and its now time to ask everyone. On load it also feels "heavy" The obvious has been tried, TPS ISCV rest and correct, MAP lines all good, new plugs, cleaned air filters, throttles are...

    Clutch Modification

    I seem to recall reading somewhere that the old clutch actuation system may be upgraded with new parts. I understand there is some machining involved but this is OK. Tried searching but couldn't find. Something to to with the actuator rod and bearing? My bike is an 05 and they changed in 2008...

    ECU Map and PVC with AT

    Hi All Had a problem this week, typically it was as I headed off on holiday this, i should have left things alone but it got me to thinking. For some reason I reset my TPS and stepper motor, checked my ECU map then accepted the trims on the PCV AT. I have the POD300 that displays AFR etc but...

    Wiring Question

    Anywhere on the R3 Std I can pick up a 5VDC supply? I know a items like the temperature sensor are 5V but I think they are parts of a loop off the ECU. I need a clean 5VD for a MAP sensor to hook into my PCV. I have the MAP sensor but it requires a 5vdc supply and there doesn't seem to be one...

    Ford Mustang Encounter

    Fuel/Air Ratio Gauge install to WBO2 sensor

    For all you electrical brains smarter than me. I have just got a A/F ratio gauge that arrived from China, it looks pretty good but the wiring instructions leave a little to be desired. It has a positive and negative (the easy bit). There is one yellow wire that also runs to the 12V+ that...

    Throttle body balancing and Tune ECU

    Okay this should be easily answered. I have many times balanced the throttle bodies on R3's, without the stock air box its pretty easy while using Tune ECU. No problems with this. From reading other threads I know that the vacuum hoses crack with age and may need replacing. I'm also OK with...

    Hi all. Firstly Was wondering if anyone that has a supercharger (or turbo) kit installed would be so kind as to send me or post some good pictures of the plenum chamber and also how the pipework routs under the tank. Do you have to raise the tank slightly? I look through under there and...

    Tune ECU Ignition Table Question

    HI looking for an answer here. And hope question is clear. I have always thought that the "I" tables in the ECU mapping were for each cylinder (like the F-L tables). Now I am not so sure as I looked at some Thruxton, Thunderbird and TB Storm maps. They all have 2 cylinders and, as expected...

    Tune ECU / PCV Question

    Hi all, just looking for some confirmation with this and please correct me if I'm completely wrong here (its a bit long winded but trying to get my head around this). The standard computer has F and L Tables with an FL Switch based on throttle position and RPM. These determine the air mass...

    Not an R3 question but looking for input re PCV and AT

    My surrogate son has a GSXR600 track bike, hotted up with Yoshimura exhaust, cams and K&N. It also had a PCV fitted to it. The bike was lacking compared to others. On a thought (probably a bad one) I took the Auto tune off my R3 and fitted it up to his bike (there was a connection for it in...

    Windscreen Recommendation

    Hi All. Am considering a windscreen for mike std R3 for longer rides. I have a small custom made screen I that's always fitted but was looking for more of a "ranch slider" screen for touring around. I am 6'4" tall and had the seat raised another 1" (long legs, this helped a lot) when it was...

    Hi All Just getting my bike back together after a bit of a rebuild. Been running triple K&N's, Sec's removed, D&D exhaust. I am OK messing round with Tune ECU and apart from poor fuel economy (re another recent post) I have been happy with it. I have recently fitted a PVC with an AT200...

    Hi all. Hope this hasn't been covered before but... My front brake light switch recently became intermittent, found out at the garage during my annual Warrant of Fitness, the good mechanic still gave me the warrant but told me to get it sorted, I sprayed it with concact cleaner and it seemed...
