drop in k&n

Now thats what I like to hear Canberra. Short and to the point, answered everything I asked and someone that thinks like me . Caution, I have been judged by many to be askew so I am sure folks think the same of you. The new normal we are .

That's a worry.

Asking TORs Owners

I have puzzling noise at idle and wondered if any other TORs owners maybe have the same noise..

I noticed it the day I fitted the Triumph eliminator and the TORs cans but I keep coming back to the same thoery.. Ill try to describe the problem noise.

Cold start once the high RPM drops and it has a stable idles.. the noise is not constant or sequential more intermitant and just above idle dissapears.

The sound resembles pinging.. piston slap.. water detination.. its a sort of metalic tapping noise..can be heard mainy from behind at the TORs outlet.. The motor sounds sweet with no unusal taps or rattles assocciated that I can hear anyway midway under near the eliminator it can be heard but not loudly..

My only diagnosis so far is some sort of fuel detonation collecting it the center chamber of the eliminator.. sort of excess unburnt fuel ignition happening in the chamber.

The Triumph eliminator isnt' pretty like the staintune unit.. the engine pipe is into this sort of pear shaped chamber.. 2 outlets (1 goes to the lower can) but 1 outlet is tee'd for the 2 top cans..

I have tried various tune maps thinking it was pinging but all maps produce this puzzling metal snapping sound, like listening to a valve snap shut... the sound is not really loud but can be intemitantly heard within the exhaust note in all 3 cans also at normal temp. and sometime its not there at all...... bloody annoying me bikes performance is great

Sorry long explanation guys ..... Any Ideas please

yeah, what they said. id sell you my triple under claw k&n's as i am replacing them with a bigger different filter but have only had them for about 1-2k. prob is i think postage will be cost prohibitive. if you plan on going over 200hp the K&N RU2780 might not allow quite enough air. anything over the stock 12?rwhp greatly benefits from the underclaw mod and the sexy induction noise alone from the under claw is worth it.

if alternately you just want a more reliable and serviceable filter that works out cheaper than stock over the long term then the k&n in stock box is a good option.

finally if you are planning on going over 200rwhp long term, skip the crap, bite the bullet and get some big hi flow filters when you can. a good example is hanse's rx4040 filters. they're the ducks nuts and there are a couple other option that have an angle too.

hope that helps

Could it simply be something rattling inside the cat delete, Dennis?

Good point but it sounds more positive or snappy than a tinny rattle mate

From memory some of the heat shield mounts on the std header are clamp on's I would be checking them all and also make sure one of the heat shields are not a bit close to something and tapping together, but I would be checking the clamps under the heat shields first. I just thought when you used the triumph cat delete did you take the rubber bushes out of the cat and did find they were a bit hardened by the heat, they didn't falll apart did they... You don't have metal to metal under there any where

Haven't really felt the need to be honest , flat out keeping a licence in my back pocket as it is. Will do the K&N's when i replace the cam chain. Been told the stock induction gears a nightmare to put back on. Will remove the secondaries and get her dyno'd ... be like having a new bike , performance wise i reckon

Hows the knee today, still in Hospital or home?
