Rather than purchasing the TOR can and dealer installed tune I got the Tuneboy and installed the TOR tune myself on my 00 855i with stock can. Interestingly the operating temperature was reduced by half. In stop and go slow traffic the temp gauge rarely reads above the half way mark and it has never gone into the red zone since.

I’d read that Triumph recommended that dealers load the latest tune each time a machine was in for service. The Tuneboy indicated I had the latest 955i tune in it at the time. Just for giggles I loaded the last version of the 885i TOR tune and was really impressed with the changes. The bike became more driveable at lower speeds and fuel mileage improved. The engine had a different sound at idle. It did lose its burst of power after 4k rpm but I rarely reach those levels anyway.
