Has anyone had any hesitation issues after you have gotten performance pipes installed on your Rocket?

I recently have had dealer installed Triumph performance pipes put on my Rocket.
The mechanic told me that the computer will have to gather data from the motor, over a period of time, to accurately regulate engine performance. I've put about 100 miles on the bike and I'm noticing a pretty severe hesitation between 2200 - 2800 RPM....almost like it's only running on two cylinders.
Does this make sense?
Should I run the bike for awhile longer or take it back to the dealer?
Any opinions would be appreciated.

TOR's need a tune change depending if you have mufflers only or cat pass + mufflers.
The ECM can't self adjust properly with these pipes.

Your engine may run with lean conditions and that's not good for reability.

The severe hesitation you're speaking about is not normal.

You should take it back quickly to your dealer. :wink:

If your dealer installed the TOR's without installing the associated FI tune knowingly then it is time for you to find another dealer.

The dealer made the necessary adjustments / installations for the pipes.

Still sounds like he didn't install the right tune for your particular configuration, though.

Explain to me what that means?
I'm very new to Triumph (Former HD and Suzuki rider) and the lingo isn't familiar to me.

Thanks for your patience.

On a fuel injected bike the ECM or bike's computer controls virtually everything (spark, air/fuel mixture, you name it). It sounds as if you have a bad tune or fuel injection mapping for your bike. Ask the dealer to reupload the tune into your bike's computer.

ah....got it.
Thanks for the info.
Hopefully the weather will hold and I can get to the dealer this week.

If you have the TOR's and a catalyst you should run 20053

If you have TOR's with an empty cat box.... 20056

If you have TOR's with the cat bypass... 20054

Your bike is a 2005... it probably came with the empty cat box since you are not in California. Your other choice would be if you had that replaced with the cat bypass pipe.

The Tune loaded was 20053 :???: bad...
I took the bike to MCC in Villa Park and they discovered this.
The tech loaded 20056....hesitation issue gone!
Thanks for all of the input and advice!
