Girly Talk (1999 - 2006 Tigers) / Re: non regular idle revs on 8...
Last post by Lee337 - Today at 08:03:38 PMStart 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.

Steamers (1993-1998 Tigers) / Re: Steamer with bad habbits
Last post by Lee337 - Today at 07:54:57 PMOriginal 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 - Today at 02:55:22 AMMy 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

Last post by Titus - May 08, 2024, 10:20:00 PMManual 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.

Last post by Titus - May 08, 2024, 09:26:34 PMI found nothing, only the relay for the highbeam, I have left headlamp on with low and both on with high, bike is made for german market I guess, lots of factory stickers under seat in german.
Both are h4's but the highbeam one has only 2 wires, one for 12v comes from high relay and one for ground. If I monkey a wire from the left lamp to the right they both light up and work as you want but it strains the alternator alot, you can hear it, also dimms heavily on idle, so not good.
I'm sure there is a way to do it properly.

Last post by 93TigerBill-2016 - May 08, 2024, 12:17:17 AMHey Titus,
Good work in sorting out the CDI issue.
My '93 (with painted side cases) has always had both headlights on High & Low beam.
I seem to recall this was an issue with later 955i 'bikes, which needed an extra Relay to have both on?
Have a good look at the wiring diagram, or have a look for 'empty' relay socket?
Regards,
Bill

Last post by Titus - May 07, 2024, 08:42:35 PMAlso, how do you make both headlamps turn on with the lowbeam? Only highbeam makes them both light up.

Last post by Titus - May 07, 2024, 07:34:27 PMYes it's a drain, found it in a parts manual, and it should have a cap/plug, will fit something there.
Temp gauge goes to max if earthing it, so that is normal, just weird that it always stays so low, only if warmed up after a ride and left to idle the needle barely moves. Seen some youtube vids, some seem to be doing the same thing, others work just fine.
Bike is running perfect and I'm here bothered by a little temp gauge
