Re: Throttle response during downshifts



Very interesting about the changes to the Y2K model.  I knew about the ECU
change, but nothing more.  Almost sounds like Triumph might be well aware of
this 'quirk' (and others no doubt) and decided to make a change.  If it
turns out that no Y2K models don't have this problem, I wonder how receptive
they will be to a request for an equivalent retrofit, assuming it's even
possible.  Somehow I doubt it, but it's worth a shot.
What do they rest of you listers think about this?  I guess I'm getting a
bit ahead of myself, but I have a suspicious mind.

Maybe I should pursue my dealer a little more on this matter.
