Last post by London_Phil - Today at 05:31:19 PMMy Steamer would always, and I mean always have Carb issues whenever not run for a while, and I replaced the Mikunis with Keihins and still had issues..It's why I went EFI...

Steamers (1993-1998 Tigers) / Re: Fuel stabilizer
Last post by Lee337 - Today at 03:53:10 PMI'll use stabiliser if storing the bike for more than a couple of months, but aside from that I don't bother & not had any issues. That's not to say I won't, but Iof the 3 working bikes (all Triumphs) I just use normal E10 fuel. Admittedly every 3rd tank I'll fill up with premium fuel (same with the car).
The Trophy regularly sits for 4 - 6 weeks without running, The Tiger 955i even longer & the only real issues I have are the batteries.

Last post by Titus - May 02, 2024, 06:42:58 PMWent for a short ride today, everything is ok, no more alternator rattle, bike pulls like a banshee and idles like brand new.
Question, where do you set your idle rpms? Found that 1000 is the number but seems a little low, I set it to about 1200 and seems to pull away crisper, what are your thoughts on that?
Searched ebay for a clock, lowest one I found was 100 euros...jeez, waiting for a better priced one.

Last post by Titus - May 01, 2024, 11:16:23 PMAnd a honda xr 500 from 1985 next to the 124, and a volvo 480 wedge on the right hidden behind the tiger. We love our old stuff. 124 is a 2.8 from 93, same birthday as the tiger.
Still amazing how that cdi fooled us, damned thing.
Glad it happened, weather was crap anyway and had do the alternator rattle anyway plus every leccy contact on the bike is clean and shiny and the little f..ker is also brand new.
Most importantly made some friends abroad and found a great forum

Last post by Titus - May 01, 2024, 10:13:23 PMDone, celebrated labor day by working on her. Rebuilt carbs and put her back together, she was a parts pile.
Still need a digital clock because the p.o. thought a fake temp gauge from an old vw was cooler and lost the original clock...
She is soooo pretty !!!

Last post by London_Phil - May 01, 2024, 03:57:19 PMDifficulty comes from the plastic tank.
You would need to ensure additives wont eat the tank away.
Might be worth looking at Trials bike Forums, as they often have plastic tanks, and may have a solution.
BTW remember to be careful with the tank fittings, as they seize, and there is very little meat behind them...
To be honest even before the E10 issue, my Steamer would cause all sorts of issues if left for than more than a few days, with blocked jets. If lucky I could ride on choke then get on a main road for 5 to 15 mile as and it would clear. I tried Mikuni and Keihin carbs, but in the end I went EFI with an 800XC, and whilst I love the Steamer look, EFI, especially where we have emission charges just works
