Just bought an 08 Thruxton. This is my first new school Triumph. I admit to know nothing about new bikes. I just needed a new trustworthy daily rider, and it had to be a Trump. I wanted to know when I replace the exhaust on the bike what will need to be done? I know if it was a carburated bike it would need to be rejetted. Also the air box eliminator kit I see everybody use, anything elese need to be done when this is installed? Does the bikes "computer" automatically compensate for this? Sorry for my newbie questions.

Hi meanmopar - don't worry most of asked the newbie questions at some point.
As for your 08, it's carbed therefore there's no computer. Simply choose what type of after-market pipes you want (Predators/D&Ds/TORs etc etc) combined with whatever type of air box elimination you go with (full airbox removal/snorkel only etc etc) and that will determine what rejetting is required. It is different for each setup but you'll find a lot of good info in this link:

This subject has been discussed at length in many threads so it'd be useful to do some searches too & read up as much as you can.
Feel free to PM me or post more if you have any other questions - there are a ton of well informed & qualified riders on this forum
Good luck

If it's EFI then it'll need to be remapped which the dealer can do - you could do it yourself with the right software etc. It must be a late 08 model then as they only introduced them late in 08 as far as I know?
