2015 Thunderbird Commander 1700 Top Speed Question

[lawnmowerman]

I have a 2015 Thunderbird Commander, and am wondering if there is anyway to remove the top speed limit on the bike. Does anyone make a product or have first hand experience at actually eliminating the top speed restriction?

Thank you, MC

ECU are locked on the LT and Commander models and can only be accessed by a dealer with the software to communicate with those bikes.

Would this also include re-mapping the engine if you wanted too ?

I can't unfortunately, I just thought I maybe able to do this in the future, seems not but I do know people at Triumph so I'll ask and let you know if I get anywhere.

Thank You, I have checked with several dealers and tuners to no avail. The good times would roll if the ecu could be unlocked! MC

Can get the Triumph TORs(Triumph Off Road) tune for them from the dealer. Need the Triumph low restriction foam air filter and TORs exhaust before they will do the tune to my knowledge. Any lower restrictive exhaust upgrade should also do like Vance & Hines or Remus. No one else makes an air filter for these two models as far as I know. The K&N will not work as it was for the other T'birds. Slightly different airbox in the LT and Commanders due to different frames from the regular T'bird. There may be something else out there now as I have been out of touch with the aftermarket for these bikes since I traded mine.
It wakes the Big Birds up a bit, but nothing dramatic. I had it on mine and liked it with the Triumph TORs pipes. Was not loud or obnoxious. You may get differing results with the above aforementioned aftermarket pipes. The Triumph TORs pipes look identical to the ones on the Commanders.

Not sure you can do much more then. Was not aware a Power Commander would do much if cannot get access to ECM.

The P/C dose nothing for the top speed limiter. Slight increase in the torque in the rpm 's.

Wasn't really referring to the top speed limiter. Know that is your original query, but think you may be SOL. If a ECM can be swapped from a T'bird with the 1700cc Storm engine, may be able to tune it. A bit of research may be required to see if that would even be doable.
