Triumph has sent a bulletin which recommends a level of 3% for all the new 
tunes, so this would apply to the ST as well.

This is a must - the "gameboy" only has reference numbers - for example, my 
bike at 3% might show 22 on the "gameboy" while your bike set at 3% might 
show 38. It must - must - must be set with a gas analyzer. As I stated in 
my previous post, my similar problem with a 509 was cured after the dealer 
got a hold of a gas analyzer and used it instead of guessing for the right 
spot. It can be a big expense for some smaller dealers, but if they only 
realized how much better they could make the bikes run, they all would have 
them.

I still believe that Triumph should include a gas analyzer in the new 
dealer kit - it should not be left as an option for the dealer to acquire.
