Steamers (1993-1998 Tigers) / Re: Steamer/Trophy 1200 engine...
Last post by Belco100 - February 04, 2025, 12:40:27 PMHate reviving such old threads, but has anyone ever actually seen a 1200 Steamer? I have the option on a 1200 that i would love to make a Steamer out of, but I really can't see what to do with the fuel tap - it literally sits where the 4th carb will go. I know there is a picture in here, but has it got a fuel tank on it?
Unfortunately the Facebook page has long since gone

Last post by ghulst - January 28, 2025, 11:48:44 AMI use a scissor jack lift under the center of the bike. I put that where the centre stand is, but it is a bit wider and more stable than the centre stand. I like that solution for my bike. I can lift it higher than the rear wheel sits, so the weight tilts to the front wheel and the back is free to work on. You can see the blue rectangle below the Tiger in this picture. 
I don't really have a shot from the side.

Last post by Flyingwombat - January 22, 2025, 04:02:44 PMHopefully the last post in this saga.
I went through the injectors again, cleaned them all up, replaced the one that had been misfiring (again). Rebalanced the throttle bodies.
Then ran the engine, still a little rough but the backfiring into the throttle bodies appeared fixed.
I plugged in the airbox sensors and it ran fine. At this point I dropped the airbox and it pulled the temperature sensor wires out of the connector. This was in August.
After that I had to to find a wiring loom with the same plugs to splice, but also had to do loads of DIY in preparation for the birth of my first child.
FINALLY got back to it! Spliced the plug on, double checked I hadn't missed anything and reassembled. Will take it for a spin soon but looking good so far.

Last post by Flyingwombat - January 22, 2025, 02:31:13 PMI love my 885i but there's one issue.
Lifting the rear wheel for servicing.
I have fitted a centre stand. This is not that stable, causes me worry.
Paddock stands on the swing arm are unstable and doesn't lift high enough for the wheel to clear the ground, no place to add bobbins either.
Abba stand, does not work on swing arm pivot.
So how do you do it? It's more awkward than with my other bikes!

Last post by Beernard - January 20, 2025, 02:20:27 AMHow annoying. I'll be very interested to see who the culprit is.
Good luck.

Last post by fishnbiker - January 14, 2025, 08:57:08 AMCheers, will look into those suggestions. My thoughts were toward a loose wire in the loom connector (from what I remember).

Last post by London_Phil - January 13, 2025, 03:12:03 PMI 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...
