Hi, I've been thinking about changing the stock slip-ons on the new Scrambler 1200X, but there are a few issues/red flags that come to mind. Maybe someone here has some experience with this and can share their... umm, journey?
The issue could be that now the cat is located inside the mufflers instead of the head pipe like it was on the older models. This means that changing slip-ons effectively de-cats the system. However, the new EURO5+ emission regs possibly could put the bike into reduced power mode (limp mode) if the ECU detects incorrect lambda sensor readings (there are now 2 sensors, one before the cat, one after), which it likely will without a cat present.
Has anyone tried this? Does the official "15 minute Triumph re-tune" work in this case or would I technically need to look for a custom tuner? Since I'm not in the UK, I'd need to look for a system that would allow me to upload a tune file from a device. I know there are systems like this for HDs and other manufacturers (like Dynojet), but never heard of one that would work with 2024+ Triumph water cooled engines.
Any advice appreaciated.
