Rocket 3 MAP sensor question

[Claviger]

I have tried searching, sorry, my skills (or lack of) fail me.

Installing 2780s tomorrow, couple of questions.

1: Remove crap, install 2780s on TBs. - Simple enough
2: Apply small filter to IAT (Intake Air Temp) sensor and put in front of Cylinder #1.
3: Install filter on engine breather tube.
4: Download new tune.
5: 12 minute calibration.

One step missing, I have seen people say, just zip tie it somewhere.

The MAP sensor. Please someone correct me if wrong, but this provides the map input for the low throttle opening section of tunes. If left zip tied somewhere won't it just read atmospheric pressure instead of Manifold Air Pressure?

It is just mounted to the intake plastics by just zip tie you are still leaving the electrical and vacuum line hooked up to it. It will still function normally.

Hi, on my bike fitted with ram-air filters the map sensor is clipped to the fuel rail, the tubes from the manifold are still connected and as far as i know must remain so if not the ecu will not know what is happening with the throttle openings hope this is some help cahrlie.

As usual you blokes come through as needed. The bit about the hoses remaining connected answers my question Didn't realize it sourced the vacuum signal from a hose rather than the intake pipe itself, what I get for thinking ahead instead of just taking tools to the bike and looking myself

Also while you are in there it may also be worth changing out the triumph rubber hoses for some proper silicon vac hose 3ft should be enough as the triumph stuff falls to bits causes vac leaks and makes the motor run real nasty if at all oh and it comes in funky colours

Done It's really a piss easy job. The how tos I have found for it omit a couple of small steps i.e. removing screws that hold that intake snake to the bike....

Other than that took about 1.5 hours, including fitting the ozclaw over it (not quite as simple as expected but not bad), and flashing ECU with more fuel.

Now I see how the MAP sensor is plumbed, all makes sense!

That induction noise is amazoring with the ozclaw fitted, no crickets like with it off, just roar angry raging pissed off firebreathing torque monster wants to pull your arms off triple.

Holy s*** the sound is incredible on the bike and without a doubt there is definitely more top end power and maybe a tiny bit of bottom end (sub 1800 rpm) torque lost. Huge success no need for an exhaust now I can just listen to that beautiful intake roar.

I know there is more up top for sure, the needle was moving noticeably faster once I broke a ton than it was before. Also, besides much better top end the throttle response is VASTLY improved both quicker to wake up and much smoother when tooling around at legal speeds including much better parking lot behavior.


Going to hand the guy who sold me the bike the keys tomorrow and let him feel the huge improvement. He's probably the only guy I'll pass keys to around here, rides a turbod S&S motor Street glide, its got some balls so the rocket will only be a moderate increase in power for him

Interested to know how you worked your way around fitting the filter to the engine breather ,was the most annoying job out of the lot for me.

So... I kind of cheated

Left the stock oval filter in place, covered up the end of the round rubber bend so any air in/out of the breather is still filtered through the stock one lol. Only temporary until the breather filter gets here in the mail.
