    Being pretty much IT incompetent I would have no idea how to alter the mapping for an ideal fuel and ignition map even if I wanted to. I can appreciate that the engine electronics were never designed to compensate for significant changes, such as a camshaft swop. Why would they be? I doubt Triumph expected many, if any, owners to start messing around with serious bits of engine, Triumph would probably assume they would buy a more powerful bike.

    I know the ST engine runs lean, you can feel it on start-up, but generally I'm happy with the way the bike runs (except for throttle snatch, which is annoying, especially when compared to my three 30yr old Hondas, which are sooo smooth).

    However, if it can be improved with not much effort or cost I would be interested.

    If your bike has a fly by wire throttle the answer is probably yes. My son’s Panigale had the same problem, evidently they are known for it, there is a kit consisting of some small spacers that need to be fitted into the twist grip. TMF did a video on sorting his Panigale out, worth a watch.

    Also when son sorted his out he had to borrow my set of security bits to disassemble the throttle housing as the screw heads have a triform “slot” not hex or Torx or cruciform. So ensure you have the right tools to do the job.

    I actually meant improving the bike's running by changing the mapping. But thanks for that suggestion, I shall look into it. Anything that can make the throttle smoother is welcome.

    Yes I must finish the install. I also just remembered I did get a custom tuning map file two years ago from a member of these forums (the one posting the Triumph Rat thread below). So will try that too.

    I found this thread interesting. Havent read it all, but I will :)
