MY TRIUMPH TIGER 1050 WOULD NOT TURN OVER OR START IN THE MORNING. I TRIED TO PUSH START IT TO NO AVAIL. THE GUYS AT CORSA MOTORSPORTS PICKED IT UP THAT AFTERNOON AND HAD IT FOR REPAIRS FOR APPROX 40 DAYS AND UPON PICK UP THEY INFORMED ME OF WHAT WAS WRONG. THEY REPLACED ALL OF THE FOLLOWING UNDER WARRANTY: SUMP GASKET (FROM AN EARLIER PROBLEM), SPRAG CLUTCH, STARTER MOTOR, BEARING NEEDLE AND RESPECTIVE GASKETS. THE SHOP ALSO TOLD ME THEY REPLACED THE DEAD BATTERY BUT IT WAS NOT ON THE REPAIR ORDER SO MAYBE THEY JUST CHARGED IT UP. THEY ALSO …

IN THE MORNING MY TRIUMPH TIGER 1050 WAS HAVING A VERY HARD TIME STARTING. IT TOOK 15-20 MINUTES OR SO TO GET IT TO TURN OVER. ONCE I WAS ABLE TO GET IT STARTED I TOOK IT TO CORSA MOTORSPORTS TO SEE WHAT THE PROBLEM WAS. LESS THAN 3 MONTHS PRIOR THE BIKE WOULD NOT START AND THE WHOLE STARTER SYSTEM HAD TO BE REPLACED AND I THOUGHT THE BATTERY WAS REPLACED TOO BUT IT WAS NOT DOCUMENTED ON THE WORK ORDER. THE SHOP CHECKED THE CHARGING SYSTEM OF THE BATTERY AND DEEMED THE BATTERY WEAK AND REPLACED IT UNDER WARRANTY. THIS WAS MY SECOND STARTING ISS…

ON DAY 2 OF OWNERSHIP OF A BRAND MY NEW 2008 TIGER 1050 ABS, I WAS RIDING IN THE RAIN. UPON STOPPING AT A STOP LIGHT THERE WAS SMOKE COMING UP FROM THE RADIATOR WHICH FOGGED UP MY HELMET WINDSCREEN, MY MIRRORS, THE INSTRUMENT PANEL AND WINDSHIELD. THIS PERSISTED AND CAUSED DANGEROUS DRIVING CONDITIONS. ALONG WITH THE SMOKE WAS A NOXIOUS ODOR. I TOOK THE BIKE BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP AND COULD NOT REPLICATE THE PROBLEM ON A NON-RAINY DAY. THIS HAPPENED MANY TIMES OVER THE NEXT YEAR, EVERY TIME IT RAINED. I FINALLY GOT IT TO DO IT FOR THE SHOP AND …

UPON PICKING MY BIKE UP FROM AN OVERHEATING REPAIR THE SHOP INFORMED ME THAT MY REAR BRAKES WHERE WORN DOWN TO THE METAL AND REPLACED THEM. SINCE BRAKE PADS ARE NOT A WARRANTY ITEM I PAID TO HAVE THEM REPLACED. I QUESTIONED HOW BRAKE PADS CAN WEAR SO QUICKLY. THE BIKE HAD ONLY 2337 MILES ON IT AND WAS ON THE ROAD FOR 6 MONTHS. AFTER READING SOME SERVICE BULLETINS FROM TRIUMPH ABOUT CALIPER ISSUES I WONDERED IF MY REAR CALIPERS WHERE DEFECTIVE BUT THE DEALERSHIP SAID THEY WERE NOT. *TR

DRIVING DOWN A WELL MAINTAINED GRAVEL ROAD, AT UNDER 20 MPH, I HIT A RUT, THE SUSPENSION BOTTOMED OUT AND I HEARD A TWANG SOUND. A HUNDRED MILES OR SO LATER I GOT OFF THE BIKE AND FOUND THAT THE MAIN FRAME WHERE THE TWO MOLDED IN BRACKETS THAT CONNECT THE UPPER ARMS OF THE SUB FRAME TO THE MAIN FRAME HAD BROKEN OFF. THE ONLY THINGS KEEPING THE SUB FRAME FROM COLLAPSING ONTO THE REAR TIRE AND CAUSING LOSS OF CONTROL OF THE MOTORCYCLE WERE THE THREE 8MM IN DIAMETER SCREWS THAT HOLD THE GAS TANK ON THE BIKE AND LUCKILY TO THESE BRACKETS ALSO TH…
