Tiger 1050 clutch issues

Hi John & welcome to the forum - what year is your Tiger and how many miles has it done? Also do you know if it was a demo bike for a dealer.

 

So the manufacturers warranty is definitely out then - have the dealers said if they will cover it? Also did it feel ok on the test ride? Lots of questions but once everyone has the lowdown someone may shed some light on it. I'm no expert but I think its the same unit as in the Speed and no ones reported any issues on here that I'm aware of?

Under 7k on the clock doesn't seem much for a clutch to go? unless the last owner was Kevin Carmichael! Best of luck fella and I hope the dealer sorts it. keep us posted...

 

As mentioned the gear box can be a little clunky on the 1050 but clutches can go at any time depending on the owner/s if they had a tendency to slip the clutch a lot then that maybe why it has failed? When the garage does the warranty find out why it had gone and the possible cause?

 

Pleased its all worked out (and foc!) Enjoy the bike when you get it back - I must say its nice when a dealer gives you a bike or a car to use while ones own is in for work. mind you the last time that happened I bought the one they lent me...(car)

 

Cock! (Just sayin'...). x

 

WTF was that for? nob-head! x :biggrin:

 

He was probably just letting us know what he wanted for Christmas...

 

Well tell me something i didnt already know x

 

Cool at least they found the problem and resolved it..

 

Pleased to hear its sorted - and under warranty John :upyeah:

Just re-read it and not entirely sure (I've slept since posting). x
