Why would they need your consent to dissemble the top of the engine if you brought it to them for repairs?

Because when they write you an estimate, it should be for specific repairs and include a dollar amount. I asked them to diagnose the problem first and talk w Triumph warranty dept before starting any repairs. The dealer quoted a price for that diagnosis. Triumph warranty then “approved” further diagnosis which included doing a leak down which lead to them dropping the engine and pulling off the head. I, as the owner, didn’t approve the additional work. Triumph bailed on the warranty coverage when they heard about the aftermarket exhaust and “carbon build up” (the engine builder that rebuilt it said there was no excessive carbon build up and that everything was in exceptional mechanical order. I.e. he didn’t do anything but put it back together). So Triumph didn’t want to pay for the work and I’m not paying for work that I didn’t approve. Therefore, I reported the dealer to the state attorney general for illegal work and took them to court because they wouldn’t release my bike back to me. I did have to pay for the initial diagnosis bill of something like $200 but the dealer was demanding for over $2000.

Technically, no. However, the dealer can use whatever excuse to refuse a warranty claim. That said, if you had an issue with the bike unrelated to the motor and its performance, then they can't void your warranty. If you were to throw a rod that may have been caused by whatever reason, they can easily blame it on the exhaust. Basically they have to prove that whatever problem you're experiencing was caused by the aftermarket exhaust. Otherwise, they can't just void your warranty simply because they see an exhaust installed.

Yup I’m in right now for a coolant leak the streetfighters are having issues with it from the water pump gasket

I’m fully tuned they didn’t give me any issues, that said if you come in with a fried piston they will blame the tune

It's out just got mine I can't tell if it's more top end but bottom end feels more alive I'm throwing it on the dyno soon. Deff starts better and the idle is smooth. I kinda feel like I lost some higher end pull but I only have 20 mins on it

Hello , with our flash you will never have loss of power throughout the entire power curve. If you need help with tuning your motorcycle properly with a proper flash let us know.
We can also activate your fan early, plus matching rev limiter incase you didn't receive these options with your current tune.

Best regards,

SLR is a high quality tune, I am very happy with the product and Frank's service.
 
Understood on Frank..in first 5min i could tell he was something special.

So i pay 800 for the tuner delivered to my door, then copy the base file from the bike, email that to Frank..he sends me maps to upload into handheld then you flash it into the bike ECU....

He said he can put the fan's on earlier, and eliminates some of the stock fueling issues....

He also said i can get a dyno run, and send him the data for adjustments to my canned tune...seems like a good investment for the bike.

Really i'm just concerned with a lean condition leading to another blown motor. My 1199 had ducati upmap (termi slip on only) and i know the bike ran lean based on how my blown to .... piston looked haha...

Do i have this right fellas? and appreciate all the help guys!

Yes, that's basically how it works.

Bren got a bad rap from some dubious marketing nonsense with some Troy Gleason character and .... posting on forums. It was worse on the jap bike forums than here. So you have all that drama, and the polar opposite which is SLR. If I were going with a Dimsport tuning option, yes the hardware is the same, I'd go SLR. The tunes between SLR and Bren are the result of the tuner. I think there was an old thread on here were someone was having problems with a Bren tune and went to SLR to get it sorted out.
 
Thanks dude for all the help today. So the other option is looking like wool rich tuning.

Price is basically the same do you know if they are offering a can tune at all or would I need to find a custom tuner which is proving extremely difficult here in Texas..
 
Woolich has an auto tune feature where you ride and it logs the wideband O2 sensor. It matches this to various points on a chart, a map if you will. You then go back and correct these values to what you want. Tuneboy did the same thing with my 1199. I found I wasn't able to reliably hit all of the points on the street which is why I think its better done on a dyno. I think Woolich is the better, more feature rich option, if you know what you are doing or have access to someone that does. If you are looking for a very good plug and play option, SLR is the ticket.

A custom tune will be better, no doubt. I'd only argue to the degree in which it matters.
 
I've got the SLR tune on my V4R, and the Woolich on my 2022 Panigale V4.

I'd say the SLR gives more features - Frank mapped a quick action throttle, adjusted EBC fuelling, and tailored the 'canned' tune based on AFR from a dyno run. I have the handheld unit and can read and clear error codes with it.
The Woolich, arguably, gives a better 'tune', as it is custom mapped to your bike on a dyno. Arguably, if you buy the software, you will then be able to add more features as Woolich adds them.

Riding both bikes, both maps are very smooth and effective.
 
thanks for the feedback Rick. placed order with SLR this morning. decided against Bren tuning b/c of the drama, and comments that their tune was basically the upmap, which i already have and not happy with at all.
 
Brentune is worth every penny. All you haters calling it a canned tune can think what you want. I just did a stage 2 on a 22’ V4S and it’s worth every penny. Gets rid of the twitchy throttle, gets rid of the quieter DB when in neutral power is consistent throw the whole rpm range. The stage 2 feels like 25% more power as well. Maybe it’s not that much but it feels like that much! Worth every fricking penny!
