Unfortunately, there's not any way for an owner to adjust the fuel injection map without a special tool. The Tuneboy is available for private individuals, giving owners the ability to download various tune maps, and even programming your own.

Triumph dealers have a similar electronic device they use to download tune programs into your bike's ECU. Since your starting problem is most likely a fuel map or sensor issue, you may have to take your bike to a Triumph dealer for them to properly diagnose the problem.

Sounds like it might be time for a valve job to me.

Hm, could be. I hadn't thought of tight valves.

I had problems starting my 01 cat after it got hot. I tried everything, and eventually found it was the sprog clutch. Not sure if this is the same issue you are having. I had > 60K on the big cat and have been riding it hard off road for a while before this started.
