No, go to the sticky at the top of the Girly section and look in the "how to" near the bottom, use the firstone, the second is how the dealer should set up a new bike before selling it.

Any motor accessory shop should sell the hose, especially the sort that sell kids bling for the Fiestas. Or if you can wait a day or two, take your pick, you can even get it to match your bike:

the tiger is going in a local bike garage mike hose m /cycles going to get throttle body s balanced and new tubes on the ivac probably be worth getting the air filter done at the same time hopefully this will sort out tick over problems i found the throttle sloppy so considering adding a extra spring just to firm things up any one else ever tried this

It's tough reading when folks have to use a dealer to fix stuff that isn't that hard when you are lucky enough to know how. I hope he does a good job and doesn't do too much damage to your wallet.

I heard yesterday that our local now charges £100 per hour.  I'm not as quick as him, but I'm no-where near as dear :hat10

Completely agree. The trouble with these Tigers is that it takes an hour just to get into what you're adjusting. And another hour putting it back together. So that's ££2££hours££labour without actually doing any real work.

Now, as for adding another spring. No, it doesn't need it IF everything is lubricated "like wot I did". The throttle is fairly heavy anyway so I wouldn't want to add anything to that.
You said it felt "sloppy". Perhaps you have too much free play in it??????

i ve been quoted £100/120.00 for throttle body balancing new ivac tube s and new air filter to be honest if i had more time and more importantly some were warm and dry to do it i would give it ago ive rebuilt engines changed bearing etc in the past but i was young and single then with all the time in the world so i  will start with the simple stuff and work up haha

I used to have long hair, took acid and went to hip joints. Now I long for hair, take antacid and need a new hip joint

You can't balance the throttles with TuneEcu on these Tigers. You need vacuum gauges.

Which are £57. I recommend spending the extra few quid for the pouch too http://www.carbtune.com/

You only pay once and have them forever. :thumbsup

Just to sum up:

TuneECU - free
TuneECU cable - about a tenner
IACV tubing - less than a tenner
