Re: Throttle response during downshifts

["Neil Lindsey" <neil@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

I dropped by my dealership on Saturday to let them know that, on the one
hand, I was very pleased with the new tune, but that, as expected, it hadn't
solved the response problem.  I also mentioned that I had heard that the CO
level should be at 3% and not the 1.5% that he still uses.  I suggested that
maybe he should confirm that with Triumph rather than relying on hearsay.
His response was that he would use 1.5% until Triumph tells him otherwise,
which I took to mean that he wasn't going to follow up any time soon.
Aargh!!  Pretty pathetic if you ask me.  The good news is that my dealership
has an EGA, so I'm going on the assumption that they've actually used it on
my bike.
