[ST] Re: RS neutral switch

I'll keep looking and may have to purchase Tuneboy if I can't hack the
interface myself.

My bad news is that it went for 12k service with the No 1 Triumph
Dealer in the UK with the fault pointed out, and has come back with just
a marginally lower idle (1500 rpm and not steady).

likely to be to raise the idle when in gear due to the extra drag. If
the revs rise substantially when in neutral I would suspect a fault. <

Hi Chris - how are you getting on with yours? Mine does exactly the
same - I've tried the neutral switch as you tried yours and it's the
same, i.e. it works fine, but the revs rise in neutral! 

So where do we go next? Someone on this list (sorry, I forget names
real easily) said that updating the tune solved it, and now I can maybe
see why. Trouble is I think I'm on the latest tune. Which may be the
problem of course. Perhaps I should ask my dealer to go back to an
earlier tune? 

But maybe it isn't the tune so much as the way the ECM responds. What
if there's a hardware fault (an air leak, say, or imbalanced
butterflies) and the ECM is just doing it's best to correct? 

I'm due my 36k service soon so I think I'll wait for that and ask them
to check the physical setup, then we'll see. Meanwhile if you do find a
solution, please let us all know!

Barry, 2000 RS
