Hey guys,
New here, and not the most mechanically minded chap... , so please go gentle..
A few months ago, I bought myself a 2015 ST3 RX... and have been loving it ever since..
Shortly after i bought it, i wanted to replace the exhaust with something a tad louder (for practical reasons in traffic as much as anything else!), and that was smaller etc..
Read heaps of reviews of the Two Bros Carbon "Slip On" and ended up importing one to NZ from the States..
I fitted this no problem (which for me was an achievement!) and a couple of other bits such as a tail tidy etc.. Found out it was WAY too bloody loud, and then had to import the baffle bit separately..
I wasn't sure at this point whether a remap or anything needed to happen, but lots of folks were saying you can, but it's not essential.. (including the triumph dealer, as it's a slip on..)
I ended up going on a reasonably sizable ride around the top of the North Island in NZ, and loved every minute, and other than a bit of backfire and rumble on throttle off or rolling off, all was good!
After got back from the above ~3k KM trip, the bike was ready for it's 10KM service with the dealer (I bought this bike at 8K KM). When booking it in, i discussed with the chap on the phone about the exhaust again, and they said that whilst doing the service, they could upload a more appropriate map for it...
So, i took it in for service.. They mentioned when I collected the bike, that they couldn't find a map for the Two Bros exhaust, but that they loaded a more open than standard map, and that should be fine..
Well, with Xmas and being crazy at work, i've not had much of a chance to ride, but over the last couple of weeks, i've been using to commute a few (non wet) days each week..
What i've noticed is that occasionally, when i'm sitting at a set speed (doens't matter what gear), that the bike will react as if i've started to close the throttle, or as if it's hit a bit of bad fuel etc.. It's not major, but enough to keep me on edge if i'm close with other traffic, or lane splitting etc.
As i thought it might just have been a bad bit of fuel, I ran that tank of gas as empty as i could, and then filled up again, which made no difference.
Like i say, it's not all the time, but just sporadically, and feels a bit rough when it does do it!
I've seen that there are the different ECU maps out there, and that the can be loaded on via a USB cable and the Software etc.
I'm always putting either 95 or 98 RON in there too...
Does anyone else have the Two Bros slip on? has anyone else had similar issues?
Would be great to hear some thoughts on this.
Cheers,
Sly
