I'm beginning to appreciate the ease of adjusting my carbs even more although there are pluses to EFI.



I'm sure it is easier, especially as there is such a knowledge base out there about carb set ups. Heck, even the dealer techs probably know how to do it by now!

Anyway, a quick update..

Installed chevy605 pipes, like the sound, decel popping didn't bother me.

Removed the AI, and had problems getting it to idle at startup. Found I had a small air leak, as 2 of the rubber caps are too wide for the small tubes on the throttle body. Replaced them with smaller vacuum caps, tinkered with the idle screw and it ran fine, but did have the Check Engine light on all the time. Davo on this forum suggested a way to get the light off but I didn't try it then.

Concerned about running too lean, I went and had it re-mapped, for TORs installed. Dealer tech didn't sound like he knew what was going on. Ran like garbage. Seems Chevy605 pipes are a bit more restrictive than TORs, so really don't need the re-map. Tech re-installed small tubes to throttle bodies, don't think that did anything.

Took it to a 2nd dealer, had it re-mapped back to stock map, it still ran like crap. It did get the CE light out.

I had a 700+ mile round trip to do to Ohio, so I re-installed the AI. Got the CE light again, but did as Davo suggested and it worked. Bike ran like a charm, no problem on the trip.

Am going to remove the AI again, then the same way to get the CE light out. If that doesn't work, there's a write up on the TriumphRat forum on removing the AI from a EFI Thruxton, where the guy used a resistor to tell the ECU that the AI solenoid is working fine.

Will post again after the operation!!
