Featured 2018 Speed Triple Rs – Ownership Thread

Today was collection day for me and couldn't be happier! Also got it from Jack Lillley Romford (now Triumph East London) who were stellar with their service
I got the shift assist, heated grips and tank pad fitted and also the passenger pegs and fork reflectors removed. I've got a stash of goodies from Evotech that I'll swap from my Speed R 16, most importantly the tail tidy!
Very interesting to hear about the AR exhaust. I'm also keen on getting a low mounted end can as I liked the look of the lowboy in my previous speedy which opens up the rear end nicely. I may wait until next year to buy one.
Crossing fingers that the mapping solves your issue!
Here she is in all her (dark) glory.

 

Thank you MrT. The beauty of fresh new bike smell Agreed, can't beat that!
I feel Triumph have raised their game in their buying experience with simple things like a fancy document wallet and even including a complimentary triumph branded rucksack to take the paperwork home.
Yes, it sounds like we're not far off and yes, most certainly up for a meet up at the tea hut! I have a feeling white will win over black I'll give you a shout on a weekend with good weather if you're around and free!

 

Mr T this is something I’m interested in getting done on mine, so I would be interested in going up with you as your not that far from me.

 

That looks very nice, any discount on that from the show? I’m thinking about going tomorrow

That’s nice, how much?

Colour was a very hard decision hahaha it's a Screw cap mate, it doesn't come up on the website search your right, found it via EBay.

It's a very well machined piece of kit and looks really nice on but it was a bit tricky to fit.

 

Hahaha I feel your pain, it took me weeks to make my mind up, to many colours to choose from.
The original look is the way to go your right, it looks great and no more hunting for keys in your pocket..... priceless!

More likely to be leaning of the mixture that causes the loss. Back pressure does not affect torque although gas velocity can. Common misconception I think.

 

But... with the baffle in, there was more bottom end , pipes the same diameter.. only the gas flow at the silencer changed ??

 

Butt dyno calibration or ECU struggling with the leaner mixture.

Back pressure does not increase torque. It's a myth.

There's an engine masters episode on this for those who have motor trend on demand. With back to back dyno results to prove it. Admittedly on a huge V8 but the principles are the same.
