After a month in the shop, my bike still will not run...

Keeping fingers crossed for ya .........Like I said in the PM it will be something incredibly simple causing the problem .
Now you get to fall in   all over again  

Thanks man.  You are right, we were all sure it'd be something simple.  I just needed Triumph to call our tech back.  I'm told there are 2 and 1 was on vacation.  Everybody has an excuse for being slack these days...

I dunno about falling in love again.  I've had some great times on Woods (my new name for the Tiger :lol: ) but I'm ready to get on a bike I can wrench on myself.  All this electrical stuff is mind-boggling to me.  All the hoses and wires and plugs and sensors for the sake of having EFI.  I'm not sure I'm on board with that stuff anymore...

Sounds like there should be a steamer in your future ...............
No matter what Jetdocx says they are incredibly easy to work on and pretty damn reliable once you get the known triumph bugs out of the mix .....

did I mention how much I love my carbs .

As far as EFI goes Triumph does not make any bikes anymore that use carbs , and a lot of other manufacturers are doing the same thing .

You will be hard pressed to find a bike soon that doesn't have EFI
even the tried and true mx bikes are now EFI , Honda CRF 450 is a perfect example of it .

It probably won't be that far into the future when even your lawn mower and (snow blower for us northern boys  ) will be EFI  

Just go ride that Tiger of yours and the smile will return ............resistance is futile !

Nah, I don't buy new bikes anyway, so I have a few carbed bikes still to choose from.  We shall see though.  8)

:lol:   EFI on my lawn equipment... blech!  Although, electric start would be nice on my 48" Exmark walk-behind!

SUCCESS!!!!

I got the bike back tonight and she is running like a top!  

Thank you to all you guys who pitched in and helped or even offered words of encouragement.  The new gasket between the throttle bodies and the motor did the trick.  

Bob, I'm sorry man but we never did get the readings from the computer.   :oops:   I was just so happy to have it back that I totally forgot.  If he happened to have printed them I'll be sure to report back.
