Total cost?

Saw this morning the right leg of the front fork's seal popped with oil all over. Does anyone know about any worthwile front fork upgrades looking at whilst getting the seal seen to?

Well put Manic I cannot agree more.

Manic My Explorer was twee keer terug na Triumph SA en al die  stories wat hulle jou vertel het vertel hulle vir my ook. Na die tweede keer is die fiets nou baie beter maar so teen 210km/h begin die weave weer. My punte is: Is daar ouens met 1200gs,990 KTM's en 1200 Super Tenere wat soveel...

Manic Enige verdere verwikkelinge?

@TVB Ek het vir my Explorer 'n Leo Vinci pyp opgesit en dit klink goed! Ry skoon weer soos 'n skoolseun net om daai klank te hoor. Senuagtigheid oor 200km/h-daar is DS fietse wat doodstabiel is teen daai spoed.Gaan ry bv 'n Tiger 800XC wat teen 210km/h nog so stabiel soos nog iets is.

Hi Bosvark As stated previously.The question is not weather I want to ride 220 or not.I bought the Triumph because all the marketing talk from Triumph and their distributors and dealers proclaiming that the bike will be better than the competition (meaning mainly the BMW1200GS).They also said...

Rode my Tiger Explorer this morning after it went back to Triumph SA last week and it felt much better.Still a bit of a nervous feeling over 200km/h but not nearly as disconcerting as before.The front forks dampening action also feels better then ever before.The feedback I got is that they went...

Dankie vir die terugvoer Manic.Hoop Triumph kry myne uitsorteer maar hulle bereidwilligheid om te help se al baie. Net 'n vraag: Het enige van die Super Tenere of KTM 990 ouens se fietse al soveel verstellings nodig gehad om stabiel te wees teen hoe spoed? Het al twee van my vriende se Triumph...

What I could find out-the problem lies with the back shock.Apparently the spring is too stiff and any additional preload causes the weave-too technical for me to understand.On a positive side-the Triumph guys stands by their producys and mine is going beck to them on Friday to get it sorted...

[@Manic Thank you for confirming the problem.Please let me know if you get it sorted and what the problem is (Triumph SA had my bike for nearly 3 weeks,checked whole set up,suspension,tyres,rims ,steering bearings ,etc and not fixed) because I think the situation is that Triumph did not sort the...

What accessories does yours have? Tyre pressure monitors?

Weave starts 10km/h earlier with a pillion

@ Offshore: With a pillion it does it 10km/h earlier.Also tried with the topbox off-same effect  :-\

@Gabies: What accessories does your 1200 have on (ie tyre pressure monitors,etc)?

@Brandt: I have checked the tyre pressures regularly and made sure they are at 2.5 bar front and 2.9 bar rear.

Starting to wonder if I bought a dud....

@ GeoTraveller: From Holeshot motorcycles.Alex contacted Mike at Traditional Triumph who said his 1200 is doing it as well and he dropped the front fork 10mm in the yokes which we did with a slight improvement but not a total solution.Alex at Holeshot and Triumph SA went out of their way to help...

@Gee-SH:I ride with a onepiece leather suite tightly zipped up. @BiganDaft: Triumph SA had the bike for nearly three weeks and tweaked and checked everything. Before the Triumph I rode three GS's (1150,2x 1200's) and at 200km/h they where all as stable as anything. My take on it is that the...

I have noticed when riding at about 170km/h that the front of my Tiger 1200 starts to gently weave or snake progressively getting worse.Not frighteningly so but enough to shake the confidence of the bike.I contacted my dealer and Triumph SA supplied me with a loan bike and took my bike in to...
