I picked up my bike from the Triumph dealer today, and I had quite the lengthy conversation with the service manager. As you may or may not know, I've had bad experiences with dealer service depts before (not this particular one, but others), so to say I'm leery of them is an understatement. According to this guy, they did a pretty thorough going over on my bike, to include using their diagnostic equipment, and he said everything checked out. He even said their tech rode the bike and he didn't experience the problem. I find that tough to believe. He thinks the problem is in the tune (the one thing they didn't check out, I told them not to). As I was about to write them off, I decided to ride the bike and see if anything was different. When I pulled out into the street and shifted gears (which is one the areas where problem occurs), the problem was gone, until the engine started to warm up, and then it came right back. Now this makes me wonder if it is in the tune. Isn't the A/F ratio richer when the engine is cold? If so, then it sounds like my map has a lean spot...if the problem is not there when it's cold, and then it comes back when the engine warms up, that sounds like a tuning problem to me...am I way out in left field here?
