Yes Phil, my thougts exacly, the manual has very a clear wiring diagram, will copy it, I think my clock arrives on monday/tuesday, fairings need to come off anyway so will do it !

Any thoughts on crash bars? Heed makes them and are availible, dont really like the look of them.

I had Thunderbike crash bars on mine. They were very solid..

They are literally duplicated relays driving both dipped, the same as the mains.
Bit of wiring and your done..

The steamer has both on for highbeam, problem is on my bike there isnt anything to plug the second relay into, it's just wired that way, only thing I can do is redo the wiring to add a plug for a second relay.
Bummer, I like to keep stuff original but hate the one eye look...

Start with the easy stuff & check the hoses from the iacv. They are a weak point & can split. Most owners replace them with 6mm internal diameter (i think) silicone hose.

In most cases this is the cause of a rough idle.

Original UK bikes had only one headlight on low & one off from the factory. My 06 Tiger was like this when I bought it. Something to do with car drivers seeing two lights & not being able to tell if it was a car a long way away or a bike close up. All UK bikes, not just Triumphs were at one point the same.

I bought an extra relay from ebay & plugged it in to the empty plug on the left under the nose cone so I could have both lights on dip.

Can't rember if only 1 or 2 main beam lights came on originally but they do now.

Engine and Transmission / 2003 Tiger 955i engine swap

Last post by pit0rz - May 09, 2024, 02:55:22 AM

My 03 has been down for the count for a while now.  Dealer diagnosis  was low compression, possibly needing head work / valves etc.  Couldn't justify their estimate so the bike has been sitting in the garage.  I'm looking at maybe an engine swap, found a 2003 955i from a Sprint.  It looks like it's a direct bolt in.  Anyone know for sure?

TIA

Manual states 2 relays, wiring diagram has them, bike doesnt...
Just have the one relay which sends power to the right bulb when high is pressed. Right bulb socket only has two wires, so never meant to have low beam there, bulbs are both h4.
Found a relay kit from sprintmanufacturing which they say fix the problem...they are just two car relays, no extra wires no nothing, so doesnt fix anything.
