Greetings everyone. Just picked up a 2000 Triump Tiger 885i! She's a bit a of a basketcase at the moment, but couldn't pass up the chance to save her from the scrapyard. Unfortunately, she sounds like a dryer full of gravel at idle, but off of idle goes like a champ. Something normal for this bike, or did I get a dud? Oil and other fluids look to be fine.

Welcome... Bag of spanners you say....judging by my Steamer and my 800xc its generally normal., but there are plenty here to help if needed.
My Girly sounded like a box of spanners at idle, My Tiger XC sounds the same & my Trophy sounds like a tractor, so I think you're in good company.
There's something about Triumph Triple engines
