Hi all… totally new to all this and just joined…
Bought my first triumph 4 months back. A mint 12 plate tiger 1050se . Come from jap sports bikes but at 50 I needed something comfy … absolutely adore this tiger it does everything great and surprisingly quick BUT ??? I can not cope with the snatch and low speed hunting … is there anybody within a decent distance from Scunthorpe who could hook her up to the ecutune and change the map ??? Took it to team Robert’s paid £40 for what seems literally nothing … obviously I’ll pay for any help …seriously don’t want to get rid of the bike but it is becoming annoying especially two up… thanks in advance
Has it been serviced and the throttle bodies balanced?
When I bought it I did the works everything from oil, filters plugs brand new clutch kit sprockets chain tyres everything… and the throttle bodies where checked while at team Robert’s he said they was bang on
Cheers
You wrote “Took it to team Robert’s paid £40 for what seems literally nothing”, but assume they checked the throttle bodies sync?
I’ve not heard of snatchy throttle on a 1050, the original 1200 Explorer, but not the 1050. I would assume something is wrong, so would check everything else first.
Yeah they checked the throttle bodies …
tbf I’ve spoke to a few people who have experienced the snatchy throttle on the 1050. Been on with Geoff at hilltop motors and he’s done loads of these so think I’ll just head down to Hinckley and get it remapped by him… also spoke to BSD performance and they also said they have done loads for the exact mentioned issue … I’ll just chuck £400 at it and hopefully job done … and get more mid range torque
Let us know how you get on.
I will . On holiday all next month so probably be new year when I get to take it …
