Cheers, will look into those suggestions. My thoughts were toward a loose wire in the loom connector (from what I remember).

I know they are discrete component systems, so should be repairable. I did take some pics of the board on my old one..
If the bike is your long term keeper, a spare ecu is probably not a bad idea. Most 3 cylinder bikes of that era will share an almost identical ecu, wityh only minor differences in rev limit and suchlike, but might be a quick way to check. There are at least 2 on eBay uk for less than £100gbp and I think they are both 1290061's which are compatible with the tiger.
I seem to recal the driver transistor for the cylinder failed on somebodys a long time ago...
I'll see if I still have the pics, they may be on the forum...

Steamers (1993-1998 Tigers) / Number 2 Cylinder Misfire

Last post by fishnbiker - January 12, 2025, 11:57:58 PM

My old '95 FELIX is undergoing a ground up repaint & cleanup. After doing a test run I found that the #2 fires intermittently. New plugs, new leads & new coils have not made a difference. With rebuilt carbs & a second rebuilt set used always finding the same problem. Sometime ago I read on a 885 Steamers Facebook thread alluded to a loose connection in the CDI to wiring loom connector (sounds logical). The #2 header pipe stays cool after startup, while #1 & #3 get hot. Not remembering which wire might be faulty is why I'm asking if anyone here has any insight?

Thanks,
Ken/Fishnbiker

Thanks Russ.
Happy New Year to you!
I grew up out west. I love it but I agree that the middle of summer is truly punishing.
All the best.

Typical Aussie Enginuity.
Wel done mate.
Happy Christmas & New Year.
We spent Xmas with our kids out west but came home Friday, not wanting to endure 40c

I feel your pain 
I sit towards the rear or middle of my steamers seat.
I'm going use the spare seat & build it flat from front to back.

Good luck with your quest

Space, pace and grace.....and a heater.....

I'm currently treating the rust around the top of the Saab windscreen so I can try to reseal it, as it leaks like a seive where the screen appears to be a poorly fitted replacement at some point....
Hoping to get the new garage ready to get the bikes down to the south coast before spring..

Happy Christmas all..

Supposed to be taking the bike down to Mrs L's sisters for Xmas. Taking separate vehicles as I need toco.e back early. 120 miles each way.

At least that was the idea, but may take the Jaaag instead.
