R3T derestricting

[Roger]

I think I have found the correct tune on TUNE ECU. I know it says it's attached here but I am not seeing it. Anyway, I cannot a link to the video that shows step by step instructions. Anyone know where I can find it?

Thanks a bunch

Just installed Power Tripps R3T for stock _slipon map in my 2012 with RAMAIR and stock exhaust and I am very happy with the proformence it brings that I'm ridding a rocket smile. Can anybody confirm it is suitable
Thanks to all those

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 at higher rpm and higher gears. In the exhaust, the header is the same, but the box after the header is very restrictive. Slip-ons (TORS and D&D) really don't do much except for sound.

Neither do air filters under the seat. Triple K&N RU-2780 filters make a bit more from 4000-5500 rpm, but have the same peak power output as the stock air filter. The stock intake plenum and ducting actually makes more torque under 3000 rpm than triple RU-2780 filters under the bearclaw. It is not until you go to a full exhaust system that the RU-2780 filters make a difference.

A stock R3T or one with a slip-on exhaust tends to make ~86 hp on my dyno (~ 13% lower than a Dynojet), and 130-131 ft-lb of torque. Simply re-calibrating the ECU (mapping) tends to result in 115-117 hp, and 140-142 ft-lb of torque. A very nice improvement.

Attached is a "tune" for stock and slip-on exhaust R3T models, as well as a graph of output differences. Dashed lines are torque. Red is an R3T with TORS and stock air filter. Yellow is after tuning. This resulted in 43+ mpg cruising at 70 mph on 87 octane fuel. Speedo corrected for stock tire. Speed limiter raised. Ignition timing improved in lower gears. ENJOY!

Hello. I am a new owner of a 2011 R3 tour and it is bone stock. I am wondering where to start with tunes. Researching if that crossover bypass is worth it. My thoughts are to do the simplest things first and nothing too dramatic. What would you suggest?

If you are asking about running this tune, I have two words for you.

DO IT!!!!!!

That's the tune that I ran when I had the stock exhaust and air filter. You can not believe the amount of power that's in there to be had for a 30 buck investment in a cable.

YeeeHAA ! I am going for it but I have to learn more about this stuff in general and the impact of changing tunes. I guess when I install the tune, fuel economy will go down. Any idea how much? Not a single Triumph dealer near me but for now the bike is in NoVA and a good dealer up here.

Man is this massive machine intimidating. I have had my roadstar since 1999 and know how to adjust valves, replaced pistons with HC ones, changed cams, lifters and rods. That one is a simple straight forward machine. I noticed in the R3 manual that the valves are supposed to be adjusted every 10,000 miles. . . .Lord help me. I helped a friend do valve adjust on his 60s Jag and what I remember from that one was a box of shims, half case of beer, f bombs, and "who the H engineered this". Seems that Triumph could have easily used hydraulic lifters. I know little about this engine, heck, it might have overhead cams as far as I know. I need y'alls help so please excuse my dumb questions, comments.

One of these days we got to get together. I live in the SC low country, south of Myrtle Beach so if you are ever down here I would enjoy having a burger, beer, and pickin your brain a bit about the R3.

I would say my everyday mileage is about 28-30mpg. (R3T, TORS, RAMAIR.)

I noticed in the R3 manual that the valves are supposed to be adjusted every 10,000 miles. . . .Lord help me.

Valves are adjusted every 20K miles, that is a change that came out of Triumph several years ago, the manuals don't reflect that.

Thanks. Do you adjust them yourself? I have an old Benz diesel and it's valve adjustment is fairly easy to do.

I never have but will be doing them this winter along with some other maintenance. Quite a few people have done them themselves. I am going to use a home made tool (another member made it) to do mine without taking the cams out, hopefully push down the bucket far enough to remove and replace any shims that may need replaced to adjust the valves. Without the tool the cam ladder and cams have to be removed (IIRC). Others have used the tool and it seems to work.

Well, it the bike is now in the people's republic of northern va I presume that at some point it will be headed back to the low country which means you're going right past here.

Simple solution! Stop by here, let it cool off overnight, drink beers, stuff the new tune in, reset adaption and ISVC, do the 12 minute tune, pat ya on the bum and send ya home.

I didn't notice any real change in fuel mileage on mine. Probably going to see a reduction in rear tire mileage though.
