I’m sure the new Tigers are great with the new tft screen and all but I’m not in the market for a new bike. My Tiger is a month or two older than yours but I haven’t done half the miles you have!
Bit of catching up to do then haha, I do.like the tft screen in the New but it's deffinatly not worth changing for I think. Plus I can't bear to sell this bike haha
Interesting solution for the extra water & petrol! I considered extra water, too, but for various reasons was not happy with placing them on the side boxes. I never even thought of the top box! 🤦♀️ Are these the Trax parts? Did you experience that the ground plate does not sit tight on the box and makes noises while riding? (I read that comments about that...) Thanks & Safe riding!
You still got the tiger? I’ve had mine for 4 years and I love it and it’s been bulletproof! Mines the XC and I’m looking at getting the big 1200 rally pro explorer next year… if I do I hope it’s not a mistake.
@@tigerben4857 just run in then! How far up did you get in Norway? I’ve done the artic circle in our old Land Rover discovery but would love to do the Nord Kapp on a bike… cracking scenery.
@@PillSharks I went to Nordkapp and back. Explored the west coast and then a run back through Finland and Sweden..safe to say Norway was more interesting
Back then, it was a Samsung. I've never had an issue with phone mounting on the bike. However, these days, with the more sensitive camera mechanisms I don't mount it to often, and when I do, I use a vibration dampener
Just got an XRX : love it but like you not happy with the front end look. Where did you get the beak, how much was it & is it easy to fit? Thanks again for a very informative video 👍🏽
@@tigerben4857 is that an official Triumph part ? I contacted them and was told there is no such part listed for an XRX so must be an after-market part.
Thanks for the reply I was about to buy one 2018 with 6000 on clock but signs of heavy use off road checked some reviews the cam chain issue raise its head made me think twice about it
Hi Jason, I had an issue with that scottoiler in the end and removed. (It was 2nd hand) I since replaced it with their newest version the scottoiler x and its brilliant
I ride an 800 Xrx (2015) and do gravel and that kind of stuff. Nothing really too technical but every forest road I can find. I am 62 years old and in my case the limitation is certainly in the driver and not in the bike. And I do that with 90/10 tires. I am sure, it will get even better with 80/20 or 70/30 tires, - which I will try in the next season and do a bit more bumpy roads - if my knees can take it!

That was a good review, straight to the point and very informative. Cheers buddy.

Is that an iPhone you have mounted? What about all the hype lately about vibration damage? No problems?

Yea official triumph part. It comes under high level front mudguard
Watching with subtitles on and it describes your spoiler as a 'pubic wind deflector'...... Do you have much of a problem with pubic wind? :-)
😂😂😂😂 not that I know of
Hello, I'll pick up my Tiger 800rxr tomorrow. It's a great bike. Are you still excited about your bike? Greetings from Germany
Hi Michael, yep still love the bike and wouldn't change it for the world
Have you had any cam chain adjuster problems ?
Nope not had any issues with the bike at all
Thanks for the reply I was about to buy one 2018 with 6000 on clock but signs of heavy use off road checked some reviews the cam chain issue raise its head made me think twice about it
This is not a review, this an accessories showcase.
Nice video, what are your thoughts about the scottoiler?

Have a look at the Tutoro Automatic Chain Oiler. Works like a beauty on my Tiger 800. Safe riding.
Hi, good review. May I ask if the Arrow has the baffle fitted or removed here? Also, has the mpg been 'ok since fitting the Arrow? Thanks.
Wonder if it suitable for Off Road (not hard core) ?
