Looking for a smart guy!

You might have the same issue I had. I have a 14 roadster that had the same issue. Ran good, but did not have the torque! My dealer had seen it before 1 time. When Triumph tech during the motor build set the cams in the timing chain they sometimes out some slack in the chain. The result is the cams are spot on, but the slack rolls around the crank and it jumps a tooth. Sure enough mine had that happen. This is my second 14 roadster, so when the problem arose after 1,500 miles, I knew there was an issue!

OK, you're hurting my brain! Whatever you are describing, regardless of how bizarre it sounds, could not be related to the original poster's issue but it's crazy enough to have it's own thread. Please post something to describe better, who, what, when, where, cause that's just not making any sense, and you say twice this happened on 2 different 2014 rockets?

Yeah true i did my first at 24k but some guys still do them at 10k.dealer said the same to me..

So to clarify. My current 2014 RR3 did not seem to have thepiwer of my last one, and it stall twice on me when the motor was hot. That has never happened before on my old one. Stalling coming to a stop when the motor is cold is not a new thing, but after riding for 30 min is! So, I took it into my dealer knowing this is it right. He said the cams are manually set by pulling the timing chain tensioner in to set it, and on occasion there would be some slack below the tensioner that would roll down to the crank causing it to jump one tooth. The bike will run ok, but the torque is way less, and the idle lopes down to about 500 rooms then comes back up. It oh as a hard time finding idle. They fixed it and I can again stick my wife against the sissy bar with a general turn of the throttle!

I don't think it could be that because it ran great when I bought it then poor after they messed with it and better when I put exhaust and air cleaners and a tune, but not great and now it is running great again after it started the stalling again, I believe. It stalled on me once but I have only put about 50 miles on it since then. I took it out for a little spin last night and it is still running great. I think it is definitely electrical. I just have to figure it out.

Goes bad, gets better, goes bad, gets fairly good. I would think flaky sensors and vacuum leaks.
