Triumph - Sensor, Air, Pressure, Airbox - T1292006

I recently purchased a 2013 Triumph Thunderbird Storm 1700 from a seller near Houston, TX. After getting it home and taking some short rides the engine management system trouble light came on and the motor lost power and began running like the fuel injection system wasn't working properly. The engine began surging, gaining and losing power like an on/off switch. Getting the bike home I plugged in my OBD reader and using TuneECU to diagnose the problem fount the DTC error was a barometric sensor. That lead me to consult the repair manual. That showed a sensor located in the air box and there was only one cure for that faulty sensor, replacement. Ordered the part on line from Adept Powersports because it was the lowest price I could find (cost ranged from $147 to $98 depending on source) and it arrived in about 8 days to Texas. Replacement required removing the seat (3 screws) remove the negative lead from the battery to access the sensor in the top of airbox and under the battery lead, remove the two retaining torx head screws, pull the sensor out of the airbox and uncouple from the wiring loom. Installation of the new unit required putting some lube on the O-ring, couple to the wiring loom, insert the sensor into the airbox, install the two torx screws, torque to snug, replace the battery negative lead, reinstall the seat and then clear the trouble code with TuneECU. Fired the bike up and it ran flawlessly. Overall time was maybe 20 minutes.
