    Nah that one sounds like a tune to me ! Tell ya who is a genius though, is marcus, the mechanic at the bike clinic in pram !
    They dont have the triumph diagnostic tools but he just happens to be an IT wizz as well ! Could be as simple as a new tune or could be the throtles aint opening even !! Mine aint that bad, i'm booked into motomart for a dyno and them guys are ex trumpy techs from WMC so they have the knowledge (i'm hoping lol)
