Hi Guys,
Is the wirring sound from the tiger motor normal? sounds like a timeing chain rubbing on its guide (if that makes sense). Not a new noise, its been there since I got the bike. any ideas?  ??????

The F.......g centre stand from triumph is trying to knock holes in the rear swing arm. Anyone else got this problem?

Very sensitive throttle response - especially in 1st, first time I have every worried about this, the faster my Ducati takes off the better, but yesterday with the Tiger, I almost put myself over the side of Magalisburg. Any ideas on how to soften this for offroad use? (and before anyone tells me to ride faster and use 2nd, the road was full of rocks etc.)  :biggrin:

Apart from these small niggles, great bike.
