Featured Tiger Sport 660

How was the engine on those fast French roads?

 

Hi there I've had mine 14 months now and just come back from nordkapp in norway from poynton 4600 miles didn't miss a beat its now got 14000 on it the only issue has been cutting out whilst on the move a took it to the dealer under warranty and it was a blockage which is a known fault and never had a problem since I wish they would n
Make a 765 version I would but tomorrow

 

This has happened several times on my Street Triple and to a few other Street Triple owners I have "talked" to online. Some of the dealers they went to about it told them it was a known fault, some of them said they had never heard of it happening. It has happened to me I think four times in the 18 months I have been riding the bike - mentioned it to the mechanic who did my 12000 mile service this week who had not heard of it but he did reset the neutral position adaption in case this could be the issue. It's obviously difficult to know whether this has made a difference or not because the fault is really infrequent.

The others with this issue who have been to a Triumph dealer said that the dealer just reinstalled the standard map.

It may be obviously that the faults on the Tiger Sport and the Striple have entirely different causes but I would be interested to know the outcome @Wessa.

 

The "dip clutch n engine dies" is well discussed on the other trident and tiger forums. I had it happen while on my skye trip, multiple times a day, across the week. The home mechanics solution is to remove the brass restrictor in the hose between MAP and throttle body. It now looks like a recall had been issued in the USA, so be interesting to see if it happens here too.

 

Yes mate it happend to me in Portugal took it back to staffordshire triumph and the sorted it under warranty dirt and oil get in somehow its not missed a beat since and has got just over 14000 miles on the clock now

 

That's awesome, It's great to hear that you've made the switch to the Tiger 660 and are enjoying it so far. Sometimes downsizing can still bring plenty of excitement and satisfaction. The punchy engine and brilliant ride must make it a thrilling experience. The new bike looks fantastic. Enjoy many more amazing rides on your new Tiger 660.

 

Looking to get a TS660 in the coming weeks after losing my trusted Honda NC700X DCT! Glad to read the positive feedback as well as seeing that issues that come up get addressed. Guess I should make sure the dealership had seen the recall and addressed it before I take delivery!
