[ST] New Tune



Hi,

I had the latest tune installed on my ST recently (14K miles). No other 
mechanical changes at the time. As part of the tune they check the CO, 
which turned out to be high at 6%, which hopefully explains my worse 
mileage since the 12K service. This was my main reason for requesting 
the new tune.

Unfortunately the dealer still doesn't get any info from Triumph about 
what has changed in each tune, which I find frustrating. Surely Triumph 
must know that unlike most car drivers, most bikers take an active 
interest in changes and improvements to their bikes, and would like to 
know the details of changes in a tune.

Anyway, from my initial observations it seems to offer a crisper, or 
should that be smoother throttle response i.e. twisting the throttle 
gives a more immediate engine response. Of course this perceived 
difference could be purely psychological- just like how some days things 
seem to flow real smoothly and others are not quite so goo.

Anyone else have any subjective opinions ,or even better, objective data 
on the new tune ?

Scotland - still cold, but at least the days are longer.
