Riding Modes - Instrument Calibration Update

Model Affected:

Street Triple R and Street Triple R-LRH from VIN 982752 up to VIN AC0897

It has come to our attention that the above models do not show all riding modes in the instrument options.
Only Road and Rain modes are able to be selected, with Sport and Rider modes not being displayed. This is
due to an instrument configuration error.
Triumph can confirm that the above models from VIN AC0898 onwards are not affected.
An instrument calibration update is now available to resolve this issue on affected models. Dealers are
requested to download the latest instrument calibration to affected models at the next service/visit to the
dealership.
Note:
•
•

This instrument calibration update is only required to resolve the riding mode issue described above.
The update should not be carried out if the instruments provide the correct selection of riding modes.

Instrument Download Process
1.
2.

Download and install the latest version of the Triumph diagnostic software. Triumph diagnostic
software version 2020-07 or later is required to complete this process.
Before starting the calibration download, make a note of the following:
• The motorcycle VIN
• The odometer (ODO) value displayed on the instruments
• The Service Interval Announcement (SIA) value displayed on the instruments.

Note:
•

Refer to the Owner's Handbook for details on how to access the odometer and SIA displays on the
instruments.

Core Activity

Warning
Always use Automatic Model Selection when downloading calibrations.
Manual model selection must only be used when attempting to restart an interrupted or failed download,
or if an incorrect model is detected by Automatic Model Selection.
Always ensure that the correct model is detected or selected before selecting a calibration for download
and never attempt to download calibrations listed for an incorrect model.
Downloading calibrations for an incorrect model will cause a dangerous riding condition which may lead to
loss of motorcycle control and an accident.

Caution
Do not interrupt or cancel calibration downloads before they have completed.
If a calibration download is cancelled or interrupted before it has completed, the Electronic Control Module
(ECM) will not operate in the normal way. This is because the operating system has been erased from ECM
memory and has not yet been fully replaced. Under these circumstances, it will not be possible to use
Automatic Model Detection when restarting the calibration download.
Turn the motorcycle ignition off for at least 60 seconds to allow the electronic systems to power down,
then restart the calibration download using Manual Model Selection.
If a calibration download fails to restart, it may be necessary to follow a specific recovery process.
Note:
•
•
•

The current password for all downloads can be found at www.triumphonline.net.
It is normal for DTCs to be stored after a download has completed. This is due to the download process
interrupting CAN communications between the ECMs.
After a download has completed, you will be prompted to check and erase any stored Chassis ECM,
Immobiliser, TPMS, Engine ECM and ABS DTCs. This must be completed after all downloads are
complete.
