That may be good advice...

My solution at this time is to set up the base idle mechanically as opposed to using the Triumph scanner to set the idle. I think the fuel map is corrupt and using the scanner won't solve the problem.
The reason I said that is because some people have already tried to fix it by using the Triumph scanner to adjust the idle RPM's as you have suggested. If you have the "idle problem" and you are near a Triumph dealer, I think it would be wise to exhaust all options that your Triumph dealer can come up with, but if nothing works, then reset the base idle mechanically as I described.

This is a bizzare intermittant problem that not every bike has, and whatever fixes it is a good thing, right??

As I stated... I don't know what causes this problem, but I wanted to try and come up with a fix that a "Harry Homeowner" style of mechanic could do. I know it is a little involved but you have to reset the primary throttle potentiometer which complicates matters as you can see. :-D

If... some of you are able to fix this problem by simply adjusting the base idle with the Triumph scanner... please let us know!! I'm all about doing things the easy way!!!

Thanks Bob!!
