Triumph 12 Minute Tune - RTFM #3
Вставка
- Опубліковано 27 сер 2024
- Many modern Triumphs self-tune over a period to adapt to different environments or changes in equipment, e.g. exhaust change. The Tiger 1200 has this self-tuning, but you can "force it" and do it yourself. If you find your bike running a little rough or have changed the exhaust do the 12-minute tune before looking for other problems, it might just save you a lot of time. It's not a magic cure for all ills just a good baseline of your bikes state of tune.
Thanks, Terry. Here in India, we weren't told that one has to wait for the fan to kick in to start the 12-minute adaptation process. I just count 12 minutes from when I start them up. Will try this now.
Exactly. That's what I did yesterday and there was no change. Now it feels like I just wasted some fuel and time lol. I'm gonna try the proper steps today.
Cheers for confirming this Terry, I had heard of a reference to it but not what was actually involved. Pull the clutch in ☺️👍
Glad it was useful. They really should call it the 20 minute tune though, it’s like watching paint dry 😀.
Excellent! Something else I did not know. I appreciate your videos very much!
Thanks a million Tim.
we were all yelling CLUTCH at the end!!!!!
🤣😆😀
I don't get this. Clutch in when killing the engine or something?? I didn't yell clutch :/
Appreciate it
Cheers mate just changed the Arrow to a Scorpion so will give this a whirl :)
Nice, just what it is for.

For the 12 min reset tip
@@solentmotorbiketours9545 Yes, I know that. :-) I said "just what it is for" not "what is it for". He he. Good luck!
Very interesting, just what i need to know as it only will see a dealer with major problems. 1000km to triumph dealership. I give a service every 6 months filters and oil.
oil and filter is al it needs really, apart from a few brake pads. That's a very long way to the dealer!
@@terenceokeeffesmotorcyclestuff CHEERS. Love my tiger. It tours , roundup my mate on HD and i can take it down gravel to beach for a can or two and watch the sunset. Do you know of any upgrades on headlights or riding lights.
Cheers
Keith Andrews - not sure you can do much with the stock headlights being LED but there is a wide selection of aftermarket LED auxiliary lights out there. Depends what you are after. Go for a 10 Degree spread for a penetrating light or 30 Deg for a more general wider illumination.
Just got a '23 900 Rally pro.
Loved the "FAIL" vid you did on that btw. Does the tune work for these models?
Saw Someone say it also tuned and/or smoothed out the quick shifter as well. Any truth to that?
Cheers
It does work for the 900 but there is no reason why it would have a direct effect on the quick-shifter. Having said that a smoother running engine after a tune could make the QS feel more slick than before.
Hahahhaaaa..
don’t touch it..!!🤣🤣🤣
Big Thanks
Does this work on my Boneville speedmaster from 2018?
I would expect so as it is so modern.
Ahhh the clutch hahaha
🙄
Put back on the stick exhaust and sometimes on the low gears has a bit of a sudden burble. This was in the morning from cold and been riding it for 20 min. Is it bad fuelling? Should I do this and see?
The bike should automatically tune over time but it is always worth doing the 12 minute tune if you make changes to the exhaust. My bike is stock and it has always burbled a bit on deceleration.
@@terenceokeeffesmotorcyclestuff doing it now. Took 20min for the vent to come on 😅
@@armandblake it does take a while.
@@terenceokeeffesmotorcyclestuff yeah... unfortunately didn't fix the issue. Bike still ticking a lot at low rev and loud exhaust noise coming from the collector area 🤯
@@armandblake oh dear, sounds like an air leak.
Is this for ALL Gens of explorer 1200? TIA
I’m pretty sure it will be, underneath the hood a lot is the same across all three gens.
Hi, will this work for a full system? I have a Street Triple 765r 2021. Any help appreciated :-)
I'm not sure as its own capability of making adjustments might be out of the range that is required for the full system. It won't take you long to find out though!
I was told to start and run it for 15 and turn it off. Slightly different, can you verify?
This is definitely the procedure from a printed Triumph service document which takes a good bit longer than 15 minutes. It is possible Triumph have since changed the procedure on newer bikes.
Terry I thought I was the only tool who forgot to clutch😳😳😳only ever happened once though🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️.....will this work on my 1050?
John Fitzsimons - I think it does on yours yes John. I forget the bloody clutch all the time!
Does this work on a Tiger 2012?
Not sure but worth trying for what it is. It went back a good bit.
Can this model be done? ,Street scrambler 2019
Danusorn Boriboon - pretty sure most of the modern stuff can be.
Dose this work with older triumph models
It does, they have been using this for a while now, how far back though I don’t know.
I thought once the fan had cut in that was it, turn off job done
Definitely not, 100% sure on that.
Does this work on the older models too?
BigBear Boyes - I’m not sure how far back this goes. It’s been around for a while. I’m guessing, and it is a guess from around 2015 (2nd model Tiger 1200). It is used on more than just the Tiger though. If unsure I would just ask your nearest dealer.
@@terenceokeeffesmotorcyclestuff I have the gen 1, 2012 1200.
BigBear Boyes - I didn’t think so on the Gen 1 but I’m open to being mistaken.
