Triumph Tiger description

I bought my bike in Nov 1970 from another serviceman who bought it new from the triumph dealer in el paso, tx but was shipped out to Vietnam and had to sell.  I used it as my primary means of trans to school and work during the early to mid 70s and had the bottom end and new pistons done by Bills Triumph in San Bernadino, Ca at 25k it has been garaged its whole life and last year I took it apart and polished every bolt washer and nut on it.  I had the fenders, tank, side case and chain cover painted in orig colors and the painter researched the paint to get it just right.  I put new tires battery and rubber fork covers on as well as the other misc rubber items.  The bike runs exc all the chrome is orig and in exc cond.  It shows it has been pampered I am selling as at 64 I find I have lost my nerve to ride anymore.

Street Triple gets a Yoshi boost

Fri, 21 Jan 2011

Yoshimura, the purveyors of fine aftermarket exhausts have put the heads together for these fine looking high-level cans for the Triumph Street Triple. According to the PR; the exhausts offer a considerable gain in performance over the stock items (dyno results below), with a significant weight reduction. The stock exhausts top the scales at 7.2kg and with the top-of-the-range carbon slip-ons, the weight is shaved down to 3.5kg.

Triumph Tiger Explorer and Trophy SE Recalled for Throttle Position Sensor Error

Wed, 29 Jan 2014

Triumph is recalling a combined total of 2,800 units of the Tiger Explorer and Trophy SE due to a problem with the electronic control unit detecting the throttle position. According to documents released by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, the ECU’s detection threshold is set too tightly and it lacked proper signal filtering, causing it to prematurely detecting a deviation in the throttle butterfly position. The ECU would then activate the ride-by-wire system’s safety shutdown, closing the throttle butterly valve and cutting the fuel and ignition.
