tiger 955i electrical/engine management fault?

Hi Karl, in your shoes the first thing I would do is take the battery off the bike and charge it overnight.

PS Does the bike have any form of electronic alarm?

 

Hi Karl, if I were in your shoes, once the battery has had a good charge and rest for at 30 mins - before reinstalling it - I would check the voltage across the battery terminals; you're looking for at least 12.6volts. And yes I know it's not a 'load' test, but it's a useful thing to do with limited home tools.

I would also have another fully charged battery jump-leaded to the bike to ensure there is no possibility of poor voltage to the bike's electronic systems, before trying to fire it up.

Tigers don't like flat batteries, if the management light is still on then you need to complete the 3 cycle treatment, use the search facility on here to find what you need to do.

 

To be honest all modern electronically controlled bikes are the same - they need a good solid supply of volts or they throw their toys out.

On the EFi Bonnies for example, if the battery has a standing voltage of less than 12.6 volts the ECU tells the starter motor "don't even try mate". I believe this is to protect the ECU, or it might just be some Triumph engineers bad idea.
