On the topic of tunes, is it as simple as pre-configured tunes exist for people with intake/exhaust and you load it in and are good to go? Or are people buying tuning cables and doing their own maps? Coming from SXV world I was able to create my own rather easily but plug and play sounds awfully nice as I'm sure with this bike being out for 9 years, others have perfected these tunes.

If yes, it'll throw a fault, is there anything I can do to eliminate this before I get my tune? Kresh said: I have ordered the Akrapovic. Will I throw a fault for the elimination of the exhaust valve? Can I put the new exhaust on without a tune and be "okay"? I realize I won't maximize the benefit of the improved volumetric efficiency but I won't have time to do a tune before my next track day. I purchased a used MIVV exhaust, complete from header to muffler as the stock stuff looks absurdly heavy. Obviously this is a hell of a weight difference and first and foremost I'm trying to trim the fat as this will be a track only bike. There are no YouTube examples of removing the cat on the new 2022 E5 bikes & only very basic ones on the E4 bikes so don't start what you can't finish is my advice.I recently came off an SXV550 to an 08 1100 Hypermotard. Luckily I did my research before I bought the bike & am well equipped to do these tasks. Likewise, you cant fit an X pipe as you won't have any rear pipes after eventually removing the cat. You have to remove both frame tubes to get the cat out which for most will be a very involved task. Another BIG so called upgrade not to tamper is the cat that is now fully welded to the rear pipes so to remove it you need to do some advanced surgery to remove it. I've fitted it & it runs fine with the mute as advised. I've fitted a TEC 2:1 full exhaust system to it but have been told by TEC that you must use a mute or it will not run. You should be able to fit headers or some baffled silencers but the cat removal is on a different level of difficulty. The ECU on these E5 bikes are now tamper proof so you cant re map, fit a fuel booster to correct the fuel or cant change the tune at all or fit any aftermarket ECU like Power commander etc. I bought a brand new E5 2022 Speed Twin 2 months ago, July 22. Prior to that the earlier Sagem ECU's would adapt within 30secs if left to idle without touching the throttle. It does this continuously or it can be forced to adapt, a process that, once up to temperature (72☌, having risen at least 20☌ from cold) and since the introduction of Keihin ECUs in 2005, takes 12 mins, not 15, of idling with no throttle input. Like most every engine management system Triumph's systems are adaptive which means the system is able to learn and adapt to new or changed operating conditions. To flash an ECU is to load an updated map or tune which is quite different to the 'Adaption Routine' that Triumph's have featured for many years. The ECU flash does both of these things while also controlling ignition mapping, fan temperatures, rev limiters, OEM o2 sensor functionality, editing individual drive modes, engine. Typically a Power Commander will only alter your fueling and enable quick shifting. It's the use of the term '15 min flash' that rattled my goat a bit. An ECU flash is far more comprehensive in its ability to alter your motorcycle. Come to think of what do BC say? Have they got a custom tune available or do they not know the answer to your question either? Maybe they have something for the '22 Speed Twin 1200 when fitted with a BC cat delete x-pipe and mid pipe. This has forced companies like Rottweiler to invest heavily in developing their own custom maps. KTM still offers an Akrapovič performance exhaust for it's 1290 SuperDuke and 890 Duke (which are Euro5) but their dealers are under strict instructions not to allow use of the associated map or tune with any other brand of exhaust. Happy to be corrected on this if I'm mistaken. Looking at the approved accessory range I don't think Triumph is even offering factory approved accessory exhaust systems for any model anymore which is rather telling.

The lack of alternate tunes or maps from Triumph for specific sports, TOR or track use only exhausts suggests Euro5 is way more restrictive than before. I suspect they will adapt themselves to freer flowing exhausts and suchlike it's just that you can't 'force' it to do so. Prior to that the earlier Sagem ECU's would adapt within 30secs if left to idle without touching the throttle.Īs to whether the very latest Euro5 compliant bikes still allow forced adaption or not is unclear at this stage. It does this continuously or it can be forced to adapt, a process that, once up to temperature (72☌, having risen at least 20☌ from cold) and since the introduction of Keihin ECUs in 2005, takes 12, not 15 mins, of idling with no throttle input.
