[New-Tiger]

2005 Silver Tiger.

Triumph Off Road can.



Purchased last year brand new. My first Motorbike(33 yrs old)

Live in London and ridden to Cornwall, Wales(apologies to Tiger Ride out group for slowing them down, I was with my girlfriend..) Amsterdam twice and St tropez(1800 mile round trip) I've covered 13500 miles and absolutely love riding the Tiger. I can't compare it to other bikes apart from the one i did my test on,  but the bike seems to get smoother as time goes on. I'm yet to wheelie, or get a peg down but i think these will come with time. Even if they don't i don't really care. I simply love riding my bike.

Modified crankcase breather

What is this?

[Foxy]

Modified crankcase breather

What is this?

Owing to the previously discussed issues with 885i bikes that crops up when they are dropped on the left side while running I decided to modify the stock breather to prevent oil entering the air box and being drawn into the cylinders. All it is is a much longer breather hose connected to the crank. Instead of going straight up to vent into the air box it is coiled into one loop that runs across the width of the bike, from left to right and back to the left again where it connects with the airbox in the normal location, the hose being held in place with a few cable ties. Couple of quid and about 15 minutes to do, including removing the tank. Potential savings - thousands.

Good idea... I wonder if it should also be done for the 955i cats...?

No need, the pick up for the breather isn't located on the end of the crank as on the 885i - a design flaw that Triumph addressed themselves.
