I didn't realise, pre 96 had an opening in the cases for easier starter motor removal. :notworthy

Forgive me as my bike has been off the road for a couple of years & hopefully returning to the road shortly.

Just repeating what I've read here and elsewhere.  After I replaced my sprag in the spring, I'm doing everything I can to prevent doing that job again! I never bothered pulling the clutch lever in, especially in neutral, but anything to make easier on the sprag.

Quote from: gcloys on September 10, 2023, 07:08:32 PMAlways use the choke when cold, pull in clutch lever and keep in neutral when starting to prevent Sprag clutch failure.  If it isn't starting 1st or 2nd push of the button, don't keep spinning as that's just hammering the Sprag.  If the Sprag fails, it is an engine out repair.  Pre 96 models had a hatch on top that simplifies the process.

I pulled the pin on Friday, a week earlier than I had notified work, using some personal leave etc so as not to prolong the agony.
Two years of working a large government entity with words of respect, teamwork, accountability were making me sick. What an absolute load of :Topes
Time to restart some projects 
Another automotive project I've been trying to complete had a minor setback after lunch, so I decided to clear the way to extract the calypso tiger from its winter confines catch some sunshine, from behind various garden implements  :icon_neutral:
After the sweep out around the black tiger & some repositioning to the centre of my massive structure  :icon_rolleyes: the first task was to attach the shite flap (sent all the way from Scotland) thanks Niall  :occasion14

Graeme,
Sorry to hear you are giving up riding but when the time is right its right thing to do and you have had a good run at 35 years!

All the best for the future and enjoy your retirement.
Best Regards,
Steve

Well October is nearly done.
Getting motivated to pull both Tigers out of the little shed.
I'm back on track physically but still carrying too many kgs  :icon_redface:
Changing jobs in a week or too, so will really want to see the bike come out of hibernation, before I head away till Christmas.

Hi All,

My time has come....it's time to say goodbye to the forum  :icon_sad:

Having had only Tigers' since their modern resurrection in 1993 with two 900's, an 885, and a 955, I enjoyed owning all of them....they were great bikes  :love10

However, having sold my 955 a few years ago now, my chances of owning another Tiger (with the ridiculous prices of modern bikes) is nonexistent. And more importantly.....having reached fire service retirement age, without having a serious crash after 35 years of riding all over the UK Scandinavia and Europe, I don't want to risk it now I can finally chill out in life. I've seen too many experienced mates bite the dust, and almost come a cropper myself too many times !!  :icon_eek:

It's been great being part of this forum, with it's wealth and depth of knowledge. The things I've managed to fix and modify on my bike due to other peoples' efforts on here is astonishing !! And, along the way, I'd like to think I've made my own contribution....especially with helping to solve the 955 head buffeting issue  ;)

I'll still pop in every now and again to see what you are all up to, but there's nothing for me to contribute any more. And it's great to see that the forum is still in safe hands  :icon_salut:

Stay safe everyone, it's been a pleasure knowing you all  :wave

Cheers,
Graeme.
