Thought you'd gone big bad beemer

No that must be somebody else. I "downsized" as after a replacement knee the Tiger just felt a bit overwhelming.... I did consider a Tiger 800 but just too ugly for me.

I really like the Wee but miss the big triple.

I was looking at a dressed-up 650 Versys on Friday,  seems to tick all the boxes, cheap, powerful enough (just) light  and fun.

I know, I was being seduced by looks.  I like quirky.  Then I get on the Tigger again and decide I can live with the looks and keep the 3-4 grand in the bank.

BB, I've only just seen your response to my bit about my IACV falling apart when I balanced my throttle bodies.  When I did that job in early August I followed the 'How to' on this site step by step.  The IACV was removed from its mounting by undoing two screws, and the vacuum pipes were removed from the throttle bodies.  From memory I then just moved it to one side on the engine while doing the balancing job.  When finished I noticed the IACV plunger part and spring had forced themselves out of their housing.  It took me a while to work out how to get it back together, I seem to remember posting on here when I was doing the job.  Anyway, after some persuasion and crossed fingers I got it back together without b*ggering it up.  Then I went and did a 3000 miler through France, Belgium, Germany, Austria, Slovenia and Croatia and it was a smoothe as a baby's bum and averaged 50mpg :-)

This is the original thread I started when servicing the bike in July : http://www.tigertriple.com/forum/index.php/topic,12827.0.html    looks like I left the electrical connection on the IACV - should I have disconnected it for TB balancing?

As a rule it should be sufficient to leave the IACV connected electrically and just remove the flexy pipes to the TBs.

For the benefit of others, there are 4 connections available on the IACV but only 3 are live.
Clean the IACV port with a silicon/Teflon cleaner not WD40.
Finally when balancing TBs, the balance needs to be EXACT or vibrations will occur.
