How to Install Triple K&Ns Under BearClaw

[HellFire]

yep..180 bucks just to strap and run so I told him about the cost south and his answer is unprintable , so i am looking at another option.

Go to the dynojet/power commander web site and look for a recommended authorized dynojet tuner. Maybe you can find someone reasonable there. While youre at the site, read up on the PCIII and new PCV (5). They have a good Q&A FAQ thread with lots of info that helps understand what they do.

I also found out by trial and error that the GIPRO I installed had reverted to off/ATRE after installation and that is why I did not notice any changes. so I re-established the #1 profile and we will check it asap weather permitting.

Later on try out the #3 setting ... Loads of fun!

Developing a PCIII trim map using DynoJet Tuning Link software is an automatic tuning process which interfaces the PCIII to the dyno. $180 would be a good price for that. For just running the bike on the dyno to measure power and A/F curves, $180 Can. (which is today practically the same as the U.S. dollar) is f'ing ridiculous.

I can't imagine why it would cost any more than .5 or even as much as 1.0 hrs labor. Any more than that for a few runs is indeed crazy. Thats even one of those jobs techs fight over to do, it's alot more fun than oil services and hanging accessories.
The tuning part is just as painless, it just costs more 'cause you're supposidly paying for some additional expertise. Like Doug said, the new machines practically do it for you anyway, the old heads with lots of experience don't trust them and like to tinker with the numbers themselvs. Ever seen an old timer suspension tech using a state of the art alighnment machine like a Hunter or John Bean?, they still break out the tape measure for lack of trust in technology.

A power interuption causes it to revert back to stock setting. The button sets the display brightness and allows for setting changes to the "aggressiveness" as well as learning the gear positions. Refer to the owners manual for the procedures on both.
You want to make sure it's on setting 3 for the most timing advance in all gears affected.
Setting 4 puts 1st gear back to stock. It is NOT the most aggressive setting!
Setting 4 works well on slick surfaces like rain to reduce engine power in 1st gear only. Just remember that second gear is going to hit HARD if you happen to be accelerating hard.

Skip its not a "reset" button, I just realized what you were thinking. The button is for changing settings, get your user manual back out and its in there. The installation part of the book uses the button during the install to set the gear position indicator, I see now how you misunderstood what it was for. You deffinately should go through the tests in the book to make sure its on all the correct settings.

Appreciate that HellFire,
I'll do that today.
Thanks again,

I didn't mention that my (now) $50 dyno test at the Honda dealer was totally for ****e. I had triple Unifilters on it, TORs/cat bypass, and the Tuneboy tune for that setup. It was a bit livelier than without the Unifilters. As I remember, it dynoed at 132 hp, 137 ft lbs and the A/F was off scale, higher than 16. This was rubbish. I took the Unifilters off shortly thereafter, as Steve Red's bike had burned up with a fire in the Unifilters. My Triumph dealer dynoed it a few weeks later with just the TORs/cat bypass/K&N under the seat and Tuneboy tune for that setup at 140 hp, 150 ft lbs (Wayne at Tuneboy reported 145 hp, 157 ft lbs for this tune with the same exhaust setup), and A/F of about 13.5. My dealer actually did this for nothing just to compare the Tuneboy tune with the Triumph tune for the aftermarket exhaust.

I don't know what the moral of the story is but it isn't that "you get what you pay for".

It's pretty shocking to realize that all that power was there from the begining and Triumph took it out on purpose. Triumph should have made it available to those who asked, instead it takes $160 little plastic box and some wires.

Seriously dumb question alert. Please forgive me but this is the first time that I've ever worked with K&N filters.

Do the triples under the bearclaw filters come pre-oiled from K&N? In other words, do I need to apply oil to them prior to installation? They are currently the red-pink color so I'm guessing that they are pre-oiled. Just want to be 100% sure.

The crankcase and sensor filters appear white in color so I'm guessing that they are not pre-oiled. They come with a small oil bottle. Do you simply run a bead down the crowns of each pleat? Inside and Outside? How long does it need to dry prior to installation?

Sorry that this may be obvious to some of ya'll but I don't want to screw anything up.
