Title: Have I bought a Massey Ferguson??
Post by: griffon62 on December 13, 2012, 05:55:19 PM
Hi Everyone,
Just bought my first Triumph today and I wondered if they all sound like tractors.
Its a 2000 model Tiger 885 with 20,000 miles on it but the engine seems to make an awful noise on tickover.(in comparison to the cbf600 I have been riding.)
There also seems to be a knocking noise coming from the clutch. Is this normal for these bikes. I heard they were over engineered and basically bulletproof.
Apart from that its a joy to ride :new_xmas.
