Sprint ST (99-01)
25 Apr 2008 12:51 |
I've had a Remus Revolution can on my 99 Sprint ST now for some months and love it. Definitely better noise and a noticeable pick up in the bikes general performance.
What I'm confused about is what I should be running tune wise for the bike.
Remus sales blurb states that no rechipping etc required so I've put the latest tune available for my bike 10150 and left it at that.
Having run a few thousand miles on it now I note that I get considerably less miles to a tank. I didn't have the same effect when I put the Remus cans on my Ducati.
Two questions then:
1. What tune would people suggest for the Remus setup, standard or tune for aftermarket can?
2. What are other peoples experience regarding fuel usage once an after market can goes on.
Thanks in advance for thoughts and responses.
Neal

Right then, I'll answer my own posting then.
Having run for the last ten days and 2500 miles with the standard 10150 tune the bike ran OK but with some low rev snatching 2500 to 3000 rpm. Fuel consumption though took a nose dive losing 30-40 miles from a tank, (200 miles + standard).
For a change I put in the Triumph afer market exhaust tune 10078 and ran with that for a day or two.
Low down response was instantly noticably better and crisper.
I took it upon myself to have a chat and eventually visit Tony (and son Alex ?) Woodhouse down at ADC Dyno in Chesterfield armed with my TuneBoy release code.
First time for me ever using a dyno and so interesting to see what goes on. Apologies to Tony for the numpty questions and thank you for answering them!
Using the base Triumph tunes whether for standard or aftermarket exhaust resulted in the bike was running between high low end lean spots and rich top end to lesser or greater degrees.
After an hour of playing with tunables I now have a much sweeter running bike with a flatter A/F curve across the range and an extra 9 hp to boot.
Ride home suggests that the fuel economy has been improved from prior to my visit.
I also have a better idea of what can be done with the TuneBoy software and ready availability to a dyno.
Could get expensive if you let it!
Hmmm where did I put my cheque book...........

As has been mentioned on other threads the standard Triumph tune does appear to leave alot to be desired, if you want a sweet running machine, as opposed to one that just passes the manufacturers build and associated environmental standards.
Aftermarket exhausts even if they profess to being a straight swap do need setting up as every bike runs differently even with the same fueling parameters in.
Remus state that their exhausts dont need rechipping or remapping to take place and on the face of it everything will run fine but with a little investigation one can find that conditions are far from ideal.
Tunes from the KBase that members have developed wont be an ideal straight fitment for another "identical" model bike. Individual fettling should be expected.

Just so, its why I hesitate to put modified tunes up to the knowledge base because we find so many variables with tose tunes and TBH many are changed beyond recognition and we have many steps in between the start and finish.As a starting point though they are much appreciated as they save many hours of tedious dyno work.
Anybody that wants to pay for the many hours of tedious dyno work is welcome though.....
