Looking Good!  That's the spirit.

Did you check the tire pressures?  Sometimes they overfill them.

Yes, I did.  33/34 compare to my usual 32/34.

Welcome Flaboi, nice monster.

Hello everyone, new to forum and Hawaii. Been here for almost a year now and bought a 796 back in December. You guys meet up for rides ever? See lots of monsters around...

Just got off the phone with SS Triumph, my Daytona is ready for pickup after 3 months!!

They said the problem was a bad stator which was burnt & had some SAND inside it!!

Anyone ever heard of that before?

Hey guys, anyone dealt with dyno shop here like Revtek before? Considering PCV.

I believe RevTek has a good rep amongst the Japanese bike owners, don't know how much experience they have with ducactis though...I took my SF to them for a baseline dyno and they were unsure which wire to splice into to get a tach reading.

If you have a late model duc with Euro emissions you will more than likely need an ECU flash to disable the O2 sensors before a PCV will do you any good...if the O2 sensors are not disabled you will not be able to tune at lower rpms because the ECU is running in a closed loop mode...a least that's the way it worked with my bike.

The computer diagnosis....didnt give them any hints....and they were not type of shop to do anything without Triumph USA's direction. :-\ [evil]
