I have two issues...

[ski]

First. every time I shut down the bike it resets the clock too 1:00 and both tripometers to zero
Second, about once every 5 times I shut down for a short period, say a gas up, and restart the beast, it runs like crap. Cuts out at low speeds and dies while shifting. This goes on for about 5 minutes and then runs fine. I did have the TORS tune and pipes installed before my 2700 mile trip. I this an adjustment or is the TPS shot? It did do this one time before the new tune but I thought that time it was just a glitch. She's got 5200 miles on the clock now.

If the problems only started after have the dealer install the TOR's and tune, I reckon the dealer has fu^^ed something up.
I have had something similar happen to me a couple of times when the beast was new...........Figured they were 1 off's as one happened the day I was taking the bike in for the 800km first service, told the dealer and they checked it out couldn't fault anything

It sounds electrical to me. Make sure that the battery terminals are on tight, and that all the obvious plugs and things around there and the ECU are connected correctly. When you disconnect the battery the trip meters will reset to zero, not sure about the clock on the current models. Therefore it is possible that a loose terminal could make that happen when you put a load on it.

I've got a lot of issues......

That's what I thought Jim .. only two .. lucky bugger.

Ski- your dealer needs to resolve that issue. Resetting like that means the battery has been lost in the circuit and restored -or- could be the CPU is buggy.
I noticed the CPU on the bike needs to boot up before I can engage the starter. I am ready a second or so before it is. I also noticed that on startup idle takes about 30 seconds to even off. My engine cut out once coasting towards a red light. Hasn't repeated yet.

I'm far from an expert, but personally I'd hook up TuneECU to the bike and see what it's saying about faults as step 1. If it's some problem the ECU knows about you'll know too, then.

If there are none, after that, I'd probably get the proper tune (Power-tripp's great map from the derestricting thread) and write that into the ECU, reset adaptations and let the bike do the 15 minute idle to begin to recalibrate. But of course, that may be totally the wrong advice if the bike has some actual fault, so don't do this until some more experienced hands have chimed in.

I'm just wondering if the dealer put in some crap tune or somehow fouled up the ECU, or didn't reset adaptations, or if the ECU just got - as the brits put it - buggered by them.

(And of course this presupposes you have the prerequisite cable and a Windows PC.)

PS. Never make major changes to the bike before planning a major trip. If things are ever going to go bad, that's when it will!

I have the cable for the ECU and do want to put Power-Tripps tune for Tourings on. It does need more power don't you know. I still haven't been told by anyone, on here or the dealer, if an aftermarket tune will void the warranty. I bought the extra 5 year warranty. When I asked the dealer about it he said " It's not a problem, until it's a problem." I do know about saving the original tune and replacing it if there is an issue. I'll be calling the dealer when they open, so I can get it in, so I can get it back by the weekend.

Well, just hooking it up and seeing what the diagnostics say is a quick operation. If there's something going on you'll have a little bit more data. No need to flash in the tune at that point.

I dunno, does Triumph offer an extra warranty or is that some third party thing? Because I would have gotten an extra warranty if it had been an affordable option...

The Extra warranty is 3rd party. It cost me $1200 tacked on to the cost of the bike. I figured it was money well spent as I tend to keep my bikes and cars for a long time.
I will also download the tune into my net book computer. Hook up and check the diagnostics. Been wanting to do that. Thanks for the advice.
