    Re: Tiger Exhausts

    In regards to my exhaust, I bought the can off Ebay, decided to stick it on and test ride, first most noticible thing was a huge hole in the power! lower revs had a huge hole in the power so off to the local dealers in Aberdeen for a re-map!

    I'd suggest a re-map even with the standard can as it free's up a bit more power as the Tiger's strangled for the Euro regulations and the race map lets it breathe more freely!

    The filming was on the Col de Galibier from Italy to France just after the Stella Alpina rally 2yrs ago, great fun! You can just catch the Tiger bouncing off the rev limiter towards the end of that clip!

    Re: Tiger Exhausts

    I take back everything I said earlier about not needing a race can. Here's why.

    yesterday I was having a mardle with a Varadera rider who has had two or three Tigers. He asked if I'd had all the ECU updates. I said I hadn't a clue but when he described what a Tiger is like without them (e.g. lumpy and snatchy around 2,000 rpm) I reckoned mine hadn't had them.

    Today I took it to the dealer and asked them to download the updates. They said it would take 15 minutes, so I wandered round the showroom.

    A couple of minutes later the chap appeared.
    "You do know you have the Triumph race can fitted, don't you?".

    "Err, no I didn't." I replied. "It's whatever it had on it when I bought it from your other (Honda) dealership."

    "You hadn't noticed the 'not for road use' stamped on it? Anyway, we've re-mapped it and it's ready to go."

    I have to say, it absolutely flew home! Pick up from low revs was hugely improved. And it was only £16.
