I enjoyed your video on the Tiger explorer. I'm in the middle of getting a used Tiger explorer 1200, it's the 2014 in the same color as yours. Hopefully I will bring her home in the next few days. All the best to you Scott from North Carolina and happy trails.
Have done 51000Km now. Bike running very nicely. Fitted a Metzler Tourance Next front tyre to replace older Pirelli Scorpion Trail 2, which started handling irregularly under hard braking, due to cupping. Metzler tyre is brilliant so far. Bike doesn't like riding under 3000rpm in taller gears, but us happy over 3000rpm. When you hit 4000rpm and above the engine starts to get sporty. Cruising at 100Kmh at 3500rpm is super relaxed and easy and returns over 20Km per litre quite easily.
Hi Marc. Yes, it has a high and low adjustment option. Compared to many adventure bikes this one is lower than average. If you are close to 6ft, it will suit you fine
Hi Aijinkya. I don't notice any noises like that. However the triple engine has a gear-driven balancer shaft, which does produce a slight whining noise, which is normal
Hi Robert. I got one from Hagon in the UK. I am happy with it. Much better than the original unit and it cost me about AUD600. You can get one with a hydraulic reservoir or without-adjustable by c-spanner
Hi Dri3 3. As far as I know, my handguards are the Triumph OEM ones, which will be available from Triumph Dealers and online stores. They are fine. For offroad use, it would be better to get Barkbuster handguards with a metal frame from Ebay or similar
