Advice Needed Please

Oh dear, I know exactly how you feel as I've spent the last 6 months with the same throttle issues. When you first open the throttle is dies and often stalls then when you manage to ride around this by reving it slightly to get past the stall point then setting off, I had the issue of slow speed going from closed throttle to open throttle where the bike dies then lunges forward making mini roundabouts no fun at all.
Anyway I've taken piemans advice and bought a tune, air filter and inlet mod from triumph twin power. So far I've only done about 20 miles but everything so far is looking good. I'll report back once I've done a few more miles.
Good luck.

Hi

Hi Andy
As you know I have been having the same problem
Will be very interesting to see if you're happy in the long run
Then I'll be picking your brains to get my bike sorted

Look here , give them a call they are extremely helpful.

 

Removing the secondary air injection system (or bypassing it and leaving the solenoid in place) is a popular mod and is supposed to cure low speed throttle response - search for threads on here.
Also I think there is a thread on the Power Boost Plug which is supposed to cure this as well - have a look at that one too.

 

Here a good video showing how to remove the secondary air injection system.
I used it to remove the air injection system on my carb'ed 2005 Speedmaster. I didn't have the throttle issues (I think this is affects the non-carb bikes)

 

Not rude at all. The price for the tune1, air intake mod and filter was just under £230. I'd already bought the cable for programing and removed the ais and 02 sensors. I think the kit for a standard bike is about £260 from memory but all prices are shown on the ttp site. For those who are interested I'll report back when I've had a chance to test it out a bit more.

As far as I know the poor throttle response is down to poor low speed fueling and is only an issue on injection bikes.

 

Hi Al, if you look carefully down the left hand side of the engine you'll find a knurled knob - this adjusts the tickover speed and perhaps by upping it slightly you'll have less stalls ????? Make the adjustment on a warm engine.

 

You're drunk aren't you?

 

Yep......drunk!!

 

This worked for me! Just turned tickover up a notch, and just learned to ride around it.
Just give it a few extra degree's of twist, didn't take long til I had programmed myself to not try and set off from bugger all revs. Plus it makes more noise, as a bonus.

 

HappyAl,
turning the idle up helped mine but hasn't totally cured the stall..
and now for a bit of silly advice... it might be worth your while investing in a spare clutch lever.
