- Hello Everyone,
So I've managed to burn the clutch in my Triumph Tiger. I've cleaned everything and put a new clutch in it, but in this video I'm taking the sump off and cleaning the inside of the engine as good as I can.
Hope this video was helpful and I'll see you next time!
Thanks for watching!
• Triumph Tiger 900 Clut... - Zábava
I had two of this roaring flying carpets and loved them. Your video is really well made.
Yes, they are great bikes. Really enjoy mine when it’s running right 😂
Thanks for your comment! 😊
Its imperfection is its charm. I had a Tiger955i between the two 900s and didn't like its over-efficiency.
I recently did a sump off clean on one with only 35k and a full service history, it wasn't any cleaner than that, so it's worth doing regardless of the clutch. Good clear video, right down to the horrible rear sump screw.
Hey Niall, Thanks for your comment and for watching the video. Really appreciate it! :)
Yes, you are right. It’s worth taking it off and cleaning it occasionally😊
Thanks a lot for that man. I have to do the same on my 900 thunderbird. I was a little frightened of the job, but you make it look so easy. Cheers
Hey there. Thanks a lot for your comment! Glad it was helpful and hope it goes well with your thunderbird 🙂 They are awesome bikes in my opinion 😁
Enjoyed the video, great bike the old Tiger, and I’m with you adding grease to a paper gasket seal.
Hey Jon. Thanks for your comment and for watching the video! :)
Yes, it’s a great bike. I do enjoy it :)
excellent video as usual. very informative.
Thank you Jeffrey! Glad you liked it! 🙂
I have one of these which doesnt want to work. Only done 20k. Iv just take. The carbs off and cleaned them. Doing the oil and fuel filters next so this is very helpful.
Hey there. Thanks for your comment and glad you found the video helpful.
Hope you’ll enjoy the bike. They are awesome 😁
Hello brother,there is a part missing from your sump,the part is placed over the net filter and has a U shaped pipe,it also helps to keep the debree on the net. give it a search
Thanks for your comment. Didn’t notice anything missing, but I’ll have a second look.
Thank you! 🙂
Great video friend. Im wondering what sizes are the star screws in the rear suspension? Thanks.
Hey there. Thanks for your comment and glad the video was helpful. Do you mean the bolts holding the suspension linkage together? I believe they are M12 fine pitch thread.
Hello!!
Could you tell me which givi plate you have used to mount topbox....see that you drilled trough the tubing...but Which plate lie's under monokey plate......thanks! Like your channel 👍
Hey there. Thanks for your comment. Appreciate it!
I’m not sure I fully understand, but under the Triumph (made by givi) top box mount, there is the original rack for n the back that I’ve cut and welded to work.
There is a separate video on my channel in which I talk about the top box and pannier rack if that’s of any use 🙂
Nice video. How many miles does have the motorcycle? Which is oil quantity, when you replace it, including oil filter. Finally, what is the pickup sensor air gap.
Hey there. Thanks for your comment!
Bike has about 50k miles
Oil capacity is 3.75Liters
Air gap is 0.6 to 0.8mm
Hope that helps.
All the best!

My friend has this engine with a full original 7500 km, I wonder if it is a solid engine.
They are pretty good engines. Their only weakness known to me is the starter sprag clutch. At 7500Km I would assume it still has the original one.
Hello there,.I have thesame bike which I have been restoring, there are two small screws next to the oil cooler lines, is there a special washer for one of those screw, as I am leaking small amounts of oil from one of those screws.
I’m not sure to be honest. I never had it off. Is it a banjo fitting? They usually have copper washers.
I have been thinking of getting one of these bikes,(thats how i came across your videos) are they unreliable bikes? Or are there any major pitfalls with owning one? Great video by the way. Many thanks.
Hey there. I may be biased, and my point of view not very broad, but I think they are great bikes. I’ve had carb issues with mine ever since I’ve bought it (they have been messed with) and came to the conclusion that the only way to fix it is to do an efi conversion, but even so, I’d buy it again. I love it 😁
They don’t have many known issues to my knowledge. People complain about the air filter being to hard to replace, they suffered from spag clutch failure and some had issues with the alternator rattling, but I think that’s it 🙂
Ok, thanks for letting me know. I think I will go ahead and buy it then. I have found a lovely purple and silver one but I was undecided, after watching your video it seemed fairly easy to work on so, congratulations you are responsible for another old Tiger adoption.
I hopefully you’ll enjoy it and have a great time on it. Where are you based? Keep me posted on the bike 🙂
@@garage_tales Stamford in Lincolnshire, I pick the bike up on Saturday. So thanks again I have wanted one of these since I was about 12.
@@PolarbearsandPandas Hope it all goes well and many happy miles on it 🙂 I’ve heard there might be a steamer meeting later this year at Hinckley or somewhere. Might be worth going 🙂
All the best,
Vlad
It has 7500 km on it for my friend. I wonder if it can be purchased. Does he have any chronic problems?
Hey there. They are pretty good engines. They only suffered from sprag clutch failure so ask if that’s been replaced 🙂
@@garage_tales How many thousand kilometers do engine blocks see?
How many years of experience do you have with these engines?
I’ve only had mine for about 3 years now. It had around 75000 Km and the engine itself is still good.
@@garage_tales can i follow on instagram
Still took less time than changing the air filter haha.
It’s not that bad 😆 Could be better, but not the end of the world 🙂
@@garage_tales The air filter, the fact you have to drain the oil to do the chain and sprockets and the plastic tank swelling from using e10 petrol are the 3 most annoying things about this bike.
It takes me only 1min to take out my K&N air filter 🤗
Witam czujnik polozenia walu gdzie się znajduje
Right side behind the smaller cover. You’ll see the cable going in.
@@garage_tales dziękuję za pomoc 😊
@@wojtekwodkowski6262 All the best! 🙂
@@garage_tales do you have the service manual in pdf
Love this bike , but it's awful to work on , so many weird design choices.
Maybe weird, but not that bad. There are worse things in life 🙂
