> they tell me that the engine management system can self tune by 5% as needed so a remap is not needed.

It can adapt to a change of as much as 5%, true, but that's not really enough for maximum effect with the new mufflers. Here in the States, most any dealer is eager to install the new map. I wonder why they're reluctant to do it?

Congratulations on the new bike, and for getting the scorched yellow. Mine's neon blue, and I'm a lot happier with it than I would have expected from the pictures on Triumph's web site...but after I saw a yellow one in person recently, I'm really impressed with it too. Either color shows the lines of the bike very nicely.

I have nothing against black. The S3 looks really aggessive in it, and two of my other bikes are black. But whereas my Tiger doesn't show dirt or fingerprints enough to notice, the Rocket definitely shows them to a larger degree. I guess the effect must vary by model.
