Thunderbird Storm Tors Re-map!

Don't know the answer mate but do Triumph not do short TORS for your year model Storm??
If they do then couldn't the re-map for that be installed??
Can't see how 2yr old TORS should make a difference! How would the bike know?
If Triumph says there is no map available but it's ok to run then maybe you'll just have to run with that
If you're happy with the sound,looks and performance as well as Triumphs email that is?
Was warranty issues not mentioned?

 

I have heard what your saying before, people have been advised to run them as is and let the bike make its own adjustments over time. I cant see there being any problems, is it running ok or are you having any problems at all ?
if not just run it as Triumph advised.

 

You could try an email to Triumph yourself and ask the question again
Ask them if there is a Euro 4 spec remap in development stage.....could be?
I would ask about warranty issues as well
Keep us updated mate cos the Storm could be my next bike if I can swing it

 

The issue with the ecu remap could be the way the newer maps work and are loaded, I saw quite a bit of this in the past where you cant go backwards with an ecu reload / remap due to the way its written now compared to the older software. This would make sense with regard to Triumphs advice re running the bike and allowing it to do its own adjusting. The only other option would be to try something like tuneecu and reset the adaptations back to factory spec and let the ecu work it out from there ...... might be a quicker settling down period ??

I would have thought that the main dealer should have tried to reset the adaptions for you as they were hooked up to the bike anyway.

 

It might be that Triumph don't facilitate a retrograde step which might affect the EURO 4 status of the motor. I can't help wondering if there is a difference between the TORS old and current models and when they try to re-map and but the old model TORS part number in the diagnostic machine, it just says no.

Are the model numbers the same for the TORS you bought second-hand and the TORS available for your EURO4 bike ?

 

I have Remus slip on's installed, see pic, manufacturer told me no mapping needed, Plug n play.

 

I also have stock pipes with less than 50 miles on them. For sale if anyone is interested. Year 2014 LT . Perfect condition 200.00 USD

 

I think on some of the newer Tbirds they locked the ECU's

 

I think you may be onto something Tez217....
I was talking to a guy from triumph the other day who said that his 1200 r Thruxton was ecu locked. I think that's gonna become a common thing with new bikes. As for messing about with your own tunes & tuning software should you be able to get into the ecu, I think any running issues you have with the bike in warranty may have triumph frowning intensely should you need a repair because of your tuning attempts. Just my opinion of course

 

Reading some threads on another forum(www.thunderbird1600.com) about locked ECU's from 2015, trying to re-map them can cause it to lock out costing you in excess of a grand to replace, frightening to be sure, so best do your homework before even trying to plug in and mess about.

 

I'm glad I read this post, I have a 2017 T'Bird storm, I was going to decat it and fit some David Platt mufflers, that sounds like it is not possible if no retune is available

 

Check it out first is my advice Bobbyblue,
I originally put it up after reading other forums so I cant confirm its fact but you need to be sure before messing.

Tez, I e-mailed Triumph and they confirmed the ECU on Euro 4 and newer bikes can't be re flashed, to try to do it could lock the ECU, this is their reply to my mail.

Thank you for your enquiry.

I can confirm that there is no tune to support the accessory silencers for Euro 4 model Thunderbirds, however the bike will adapt to them over time.

If the ECU is flashed by an outside source, it is possible that the ECU will be locked and can only be reopened by the factory.

If you decide to fit the accessory silencers, it will be fine on the standard software.

Best regards

Very interesting Bobby, So fit and let the bike adapt itself, sounds the way to go mate and a lot safer and cheaper option.
Happy Days Bobby, Thanks for sharing
PS
Will pass on the info,

 

This is very good info all bikers to hear, thanks for the update BB.

 

Hey Darran, I know this is a late response. But I have recently went through all of this on my storm. I purchased the cable online along with downloading a after market map that I found on Tune ECU, the map I have takes into account, aftermarket Full Exhaust, heavy breather intake, O2 sensors being capped. I just had my bike put on a dyno this week and after running it for a few hrs we realized that the map I downloaded was pretty much the best one we could come up with. We made a few minor adjustments to that one and rolled with it. If your still in need for something let me know and Id gladly walk you through it along with emailing you the map.
