Why would I tune a road bike?
There is a common misconception that performance tuning is all about racing bikes, not true. In our experience there is plenty to be gained through various methods to give your bike the optimum performance you didn’t know it had. A good example of that would be when you fit aftermarket silencers in order to improve the sound, looks and performance of your machine, but have you truly improved the performance? In all too many instances the answer would be “not to its potential”. Getting your bike checked on a rolling road will give you the knowledge to know if a significant improvement to your bike could be made. A simple rolling road session could change your bikes performance beyond what you believed possible from a single process.
Key benefits: Better fuel economy – Better throttle response – Smoother power delivery – Increased power.
Is it possible to get my bike serviced while it’s there?
Simply… yes. Here at T3 we operate all the servicing facilities needed to care for your bike. Work is carried out by engineers who have won three British Championship titles and know modern Triumph Motorcycle better than anyone. Our engineers understand the attention to detail that a race bike requires and don’t switch off just because it’s a road bike. Although please make sure your bike is clean before bringing it to us.
How far can I go with tuning?
It depends on what purpose you have for the bike. If you are a road rider then you can add significant power by raising compression, it not expensive to do and will not have any significant effect on reliability. It’s raising the rev limit that causes excess wear, not compression. If it’s a track-day or race bike then the sky is the limit, it all comes down to purpose and budget.
What other services does T3 Performance offer?
Suspension is the other key area we understand. Changes that include springs, fork oil weight and setting changes. Alternatively you can go deeper with compression and rebound stack changes through to compete fork kits. With good set-up nothing quite transforms your bike like good handling.
