Yep been a long time, Glad it’s finally sorted. Got to give her a good clean polish and once over for a fresh MOT. Looking forward to tagging along on a ride asap

Hi everyone just thought I’d give you an update. Finally the bike starts on the button. The problem I assume was the battery was to weak even though it was “new” i pulled the trigger on a brand new lithium battery from NOCO This battery is a beast! And so far so good. Attached a pic of the box batte...

On the ktm 990 you're not supposed to mess with it (factory set according to the workshop manual). Many owners said they adjusted theirs and got better / smoother low end throttle response so I decided to give it a try. That's when I found out TuneECU wasn't fast enough, at least not for a v twin. ...

Is this still open to suggestions?

I looked at throttle balance with tuneECU on my 990 (vtwin).... Forget it! The live update is way too slow and the values weren't stable enough to work with. The next thing to concider is whether it's best to have the throttles actually balanced (real vacuum comparison) or adjusted so the sensors a...

I have used tune ECU for years on Triumphs. Originally so I could reset the service light. It doesn't run on the latest android phones and tablets. I generally run it from my circa 5 year old smart phone which works well. So an old tablet or phone is best. Looking to get a setup as cheap as possibl...

Before I need help with anything specific to my bike I need help with getting a "set up" to use. Cheap tablet suggestions? Thanks for all the help so far

Looking for some help from anybody that uses TuneECU Preferably on their Triumph T.I.A

Thanks I'll give that a go the way you described. Plan to have another look about the weekend will have to re read people's suggestions again I think lol

All the things suggested are possible. Eliminate earth issues as per Ruffian's post then work your way through. I would suggest a proper drop test on your battery. Most are pretty awful quality I've just gone through three battery warranty claims on a works van with supposed premium battery, all sh...

On another note got new front disc rotors delivered and dry fitted them this evening as old ones were on the wear limit. Think they look sweet as considering the price

Scott, I'll double Brian's offer :)): . However, if you really DONT want to part with it in disgust and you have the time to coax the trumpet to east Devon I'll be happy to investigate the offending bike's innards with you, tea and coffee on tap, I have the time nowadays, mostly. Seriously, drop me...

that is probably the cost of the part or how much it is going to be to fix this when i finally find it HOPEFULLY!
If all else fails when I feel like torching the bloody thing I'll bare your offer in mind thanks haha.

Scott - getting back to the upgraded starting cables, this is the recognised upgrade for the Sprint ST (and GT) 1050. They're made and supplied by Jeff 'Pudding' Halford here in the UK. Is the Speed Triple the same layout? As supplied - Sep' 2019.JPG 25052026 (2).jpg 25052026 (1).jpg On another not...

Absolutely buzzing with the amount of replays and new suggestions to try thanks everyone. Will be working on this over next few evenings fingers crossed we get it sorted thanks again!
