Hello from Ottawa, R3 Touring info

Up to you Bernie,if you paid the first dyno guy,he did something wrong,that’s way low,if you want to save some money,or at least have a better setup when you go back somewhere else,take a rip up the 401,load my map,you’ll feel the difference. Of course,after all that white stuff leaves.
I had great experiences with Richmond Motorsports south of Ottawa.
 
Who you calling old? :) only kidding...not part of any MCClubs, never been on a group ride... just not our style,,,, me and the misses like to go and stop at will, never more than 30 - 45 minutes at a time. We love quebec drives up to mt tremblant thru hawkesbury and back thru /gatineau/ottawa on the 5 / 105....
 
Welcome from Florida! I have a 2014 R3T I bought in April, 2018 with 2800 miles on it. I do not live far from @Fingers in Ocala, FL. We were on a ride and at lunch I told him I did not see myself doing the mods many talk about here to increase the torque/hp of which these detuned motors are capable. This bike has more torque than any bike I have had (all 2 of them over 12 years) and it is instantly available regardless of gear.

Famous last words.

In another thread, conversation was of course about performance, and @BillyIndiana mentioned he had a set of TORS (Triumph Off Road Silencers) available. He gave me a great deal on them. These do not have the catalytic material in them unlike the stock silencers so they flow more freely.

Well... (If you give a mouse a cookie...)

I have ordered the RamAir intake filter and the Viking crossover from @Paul Bryant (a member of this board, a manufacturer of exhaust systems for this and other bikes, and a man of integrity). These choices were made based on what other members have said about these individual components and about them being used together. I will be adding the tune Touring Tune by Nels at TwoWheelDynoWorks which is designed for the TORS and RamAir setup and is in the Resources section of this board. It was posted by @Claviger, another quality, knowledgeable member of this board. If I need to, there is a dyne shop not far from me who can fine tune the bike (Thanks @Fingers ). Are you seeing a common theme here?

Once all of the pieces come in, I will be putting them on and looking forward to the changes. This is a great board, with lots of knowledgeable members who are more than willing to share their knowledge and experience with others.

Now, if I could only stop reading all of the posts here. Carpenter.....Supercharger.....OzClaw....Wheelies.....Suspension Improvements....Blowing off sport bikes.....

I think I might need a horsepower/torque/performance addiction support group. Any suggestions? ;):roll::thumbsdown:

Welcome to the insanity and from Indiana. Paddy is a little excited. We have all been there. Some never leave. Enjoy.

I go up there a couple times myself,big difference now that the roads have been redone. Another nice scenic trip is down Hwy 44, south of me to old HWY 2, ride the St. Lawrence,Thousand Islands Parkway,tour back,stop in Merrickville for ice cream,back to Kemptville along the Rideau River.
