08 r3 touring
anyone have suggestions about un de-tuning a touring model? ive never been a fan of companies doing that. id rather let my wrist do the de-tuning. i have a 08 touring model. i would have preferred a "regular" one, but this became available, so i pulled the trigger. i have the dealer tune connector which i bought for my 2010 thunderbird (which i traded-in).
 
I used to be a big fan of Harlingen back in the day. Home of the Confederate Air Force, and all that lovely citrus, enjoyed a number of trips down there.

What is it exactly you are trying to do with your Rocket ?

Have you looked through the Touring forum, maybe do a few searches -- MUCH has been done and even more said about the Touring and how Triumph chose to change the mapping for the motor vis-a-vis the Roadster.
 
Just got it but i want all the power tgey took away.

Brother, I think you are a victim of marketing. The Touring was not de-tuned, it is re-tuned for its intended purpose. And that is touring and two-up riding. The R3T has more low end torque than the Roadster has. The roadster has more high end horse power. Unless you are banging the RPM off the limiter, the R3T is better suited for city street and highway use.

I added the TORs slip-ons and the RamAir breather, for these you need to update the ECU tune for better breathing . These mods are easy to do and do improve power and sound.

Enjoy your new bike, I have 74K on mine so far.
 
Thanks for that info. I got the "dealer tune cable but it seems im going to need tuneecu. Im trying to google a site and its been difficult
 
This is a thread started in 2013 (the original poster is no longer around - his ECU map, if you want it, is still available on this site in the Resources forum) and has had enduring interest. This would be a great place to start, and have a good sense of the community about performance considerations for the Touring model.


R3T derestricting

Ladies and gents, I have had more than a few calls about Touring model performance. This should help out more than a few of you. The Touring models are the same except for the exhaust and ECU calibration. BOTH are very restricted.The ECU controls the secondary throttles and actually closes them...
