New Member: Transmission Fluid/gear oil Tiger 800

[mbellantone]

Hey People!

New Member here and very excited about my new 800 that I'm in the process of purchasing as I write this (waiting to hear about OEM centerstand/grips/risers and whether they are back ordered).  Traded my 2006 Ducati Multistrada for a street version, Venon Yellow... again, very excited.

One question:  Does the transmission share motor oil or does it use it's own gear oil?

Simple question, right?

Thanks!

Venom yellow, sounds interesting, pic please  8)

Ummm, i actually just changed the color a couple of days ago.  After some thought, the venom yellow doesn't really come across as yellow but more like, as a friend of mine called it "Gangreen".  The color started to bother me after a while.  Not really yellow at all but more like a "squidbike green"

I opted for the white.  I pick it up tomorrow with bar risers, heated grips.  Center Stand is on perpetual back order as it's waiting for a "design review" by Triumph..

well they've had 2 recalls on the centerstand so far, with a 3rd on its way!  :roll:  

venom Yellow? the colour does change depending on the light, but I described mine as 'metallic mucus' and t'other half insists its Orville Green'..

Just to make sure I am not upsetting anybody, I was having a laugh at the various names, not the colour itself

Ha, that's the best i've heard.

Well, yes boys and girls, on Friday i took delivery of my new "police radio car" white (as my wife calls it).

I love it!  Having a hard time keeping the rev's down during break in.

I hope this one is a keeper.  you'll see in the attached pic, my 2006 Ducati Multi that I traded in for the Tiger.  I wish i would have liked the Duc but it wasn't in the cards.

I don't understand what is so hard about getting the Center Stand right. It's not like it's a new technology.  If you notice, even twisted throttle doesn't have one for the US, only Canada. I wonder what that's all about.
