Thanks for sharing. I’ve been researching the tigers for many months now. Test road one today. Much of what you’ve upgraded is amongst my list as well. Ride safe brother!
CRASH BAR WARNIIG….I’ve got the same bike with same SW Motech crash bars. I had a low speed tip over and sheared the upper bolt that ties the crash bar into the engine/frame mount. Bike has been in the shop for multiple days and they are having extreme difficulty extracting that sheared bolt (>5 hours labor with multiple broken extractors). Shop says engine will probably have to be removed to get the bolt out. I chose SW Motech because at the time it was the only system where sheared bolts hadn’t been reported… Just putting this out there for anyone thinking about purchasing crash bars for this bike.
That's important info. Thank you.
So Bruce, what other options for crash bars are out there. The Triumph ones have many reports of not doing a good job. Here you mentioned your issue with the crash bars from SW Motech. What about the ones from Outback Motortek?
Hmmm. I went with the Outback Motortek, for the same reason...haven't heard of sheared bolt issues, but was told it can still happen with them too.@@saleyoun
I just got a 24 Tiger Pro and I appreciate your video. The rubber guard for the shock is a great idea. I'll subscribe, keep the kids coming biker
Super video, really enjoyed it looking forward to many more
Thanks Man! All the upgrade details very useful and must.
Many thanks.
Great! I'm glad I could help!
Very helpful thank you. That rear shock guard seems very necessary.
Great info! I had NOT realized the chain guard is plastic, nor did I think about that mud guard of the shock either. I like the motech guards but also wish they went higher like you mentioned. Not sure which way I"ll go yet. I'm a big Mosko Moto guy and love their gear so will be doing with their soft panniers etc, like you did on your tank bag. Interesting GPS mount too...hmmm. I'll def be riding off road and...prob only 60-40 which prob means 75-25 however, I live in San Diego and I go to Baja a LOT..and lot's of trails around here so i do think I'll perhaps get to 50-50 as I also have a cruiser. I plan on motocamping and also want to bring my hike n fly paragliding gear on board too. Haven't even orderd the bike yet LOL but will be this year and want to have all my ducks in a row when I do. Great videos man. I've watched a thousand and only came across the guards you mentioned today from YOU. Thanks!
Thank you! I'm glad I could help! I love the Mosko Moto tank bag. Definitely go with soft panniers if you ride off-road. I've seen many a broken ankle from hard panniers. Plus it gives you flexible room for your paragliding gear.
Agree..well thought out upgrades.. like what you did especially the GPS bracket. Few things I did extra.. Added heat deflecters on both sides which minimises heat flow on my legs. I'm also fitting a new rear shock from Touratech as I find the standard one rather limited on settings . Fully agree on the Dunlop tyres..I ride 50 50 and must admit they really impressed me and not too noisy ..all in all..its a great bike
Really need the rear shock? This guy rides it stock..

I ride a similar setup on mine, minus the Outback Motortek crash bars and skid plate, Touratech pegs, stand extender and bar riser, and Evotech Performance GPS mount. Thanks for sharing!
Another great video. Am just close to 1000kms on mine but all coffee shop to coffee shop as you say while I wait for my crash bars to arrive. I ordered the Hepco crash bars and wish I knew before hand about the shearing issue on some bars. Will just wait and see but I do like the look of Hepco bars better. Agree it does not make sense to change the exhaust. Can’t wait to see u off roading.
Thank you! I agree, the look of the Hepco crash bars are much better. Here is a recent video of some off roading. I hope you enjoy!: th-cam.com/video/Gj8dc9foz3E/w-d-xo.html
good tip.abpit the mud on the back to protect the shock
Very good review.
I had to have a dedicated GPS. So I bought a Hex ezCan (from A bike thing in the UK) and ran my Zumo XT2 through to it. I removed the phone charger mount under the pillion seat and set it up there. It offers the addition of 4 extra circuits. I have a set of Denali D4’s driving lights, and a B6 break light connected to it as well. Completely customizable. Easy set up. And it allows me to keep all other stock power outlets available on my 1200 Rally Pro. Worth it,
Cheers.
How do you like the D4s? I have the Tiger 900 RP and...not sure I like the square D4s..and might go with the D3s (and the B6). I think I"m going with A Bike Thing also...is it cheaper that way...or..like me, just cause you like the guy a lot! lol. I think I can get one of his bundles...
Thanks very helpful. For me it's between the Rally Pro and Desert X, but next year. What a beautiful place to live.
Thank you! I'm glad I could help. The Desert X looks awesome! Tough choice. Let me know what you go with in the end.
I went through this, and as much as I love the DesertX, it's a more difficult choice if you want to ride it off-road and on long trips. Unavailable shop manuals, an impossible-to-service air filter, and a 180 Nm rear axle nut torque spec are not what I want on a month-long journey. For me, it was the Tiger or the 890.
Nice upgrades!! The thing to remember with motorcycle companies is that they have to also meet a price point. They can't add all the best of the best and still hit that price point that most of the demographic buying these machines.
Thanks, and great point!
BTW, the new stock bottom and top bash bars are great. The latest Aragon version comes standard with them, and the top one now mounts to the frame as yours do. Go check out some pics of the new Aragon version. Getting one for my wife this week. The salesman also threw in a set of Barkbusters as part of the sale.
Thanks! for some good info... I'm considering a Rally Pro coming off a Gen 2 KLR .... Never owned a Triumph so Reliability is in Question but I've heard good things...
Don’t worry about the reliability mate …these bikes are built like tank…I own an xrx (2016)…,no issues at all.
IdaGonna Thanks for the tour... I like those SW Motech Crash Bars... Did the Rally Pro stock Crash bars fail after a fall ? I 've heard they're a bit light.... Where in ID are you ? I have a sister in Nampa near Boise..
Off road I would always use the clutch. Anyway nice review. I do like the new 900 from Triumph GT pro 2023.
I just purchased a 2023 rally explorer model
I read somewhere that the quickshift doesn't work with 1st-2nd gear, and it works beast when accelerating hard.
Hey there, it does work quite well when shifting from 1st to 2nd. On occasion I get a false neutal. It happens about 1/50 times. You are correct, it does work best when accelerating hard.
I just picked up a 2024 900 RP and just saw this informative video. One question, I see how you mounted the tank bag. Does the top strap interfere with the steering where you have it placed? I tried it there and the handlebars press against the strap. I’m having trouble finding a suitable place to put the top strap because everything is so tight.
Nice upgrades, well done. Now that you’ve had these Dunlops on the bike for a while, can you share your thoughts on wear, and if you still like them?
I still love them. I've put ~1,500 miles on the bike since this video and the tires still look almost brand new. I think I will get 5k+ miles out of them.
They are great for longevity and decent for dry weather off-roading. I almost got stuck on a slight grassy incline after some rain and loose gravel/sand can be tough, but I did get like 8k miles out of my rear tire!
What about the noise guys? My friend could not bare highway speeds on pirelli Scorpions. Are these any better?
Some good ideas for mine. Thanks! Hey, where are you located?
Great! I'm glad I could help. I'm located in the northern part of Idaho, USA. Let me know if you are ever riding up here.
When you dropped the bike on the right side, did the SW motech bar seem to protect higher up on the tank? IOW, did it hold the plastic parts and tank off the ground? Many thanks. subscribed.
They did. More than I was expecting. The plastic parts did not even get dirty.
nice video...question: I have the same bike and ride off a lot...what is the make of your skid plate. and the plastic piece inside your fender to keep rear shock cleaner.
Also purchase info for your head light protector...I just purchased the "Triumph head light protector", but light your way more.If you could provide that info, it would be much appreciated.
Thank you,
Dan
Safe riding buddy
Hey Dan, thank you! Per your questions:
- Skid Plate: SW Motech
- Rear Shock Guard: bit.ly/3Nf23gd
- Head Light Protector: amzn.to/3NNbF1q
What is the brand of your radiator guards? I’m having a tough time finding black.

Do u know what I figured out? I think the way Triumph think about who's buying this bike is in which those road tyres will be used to adapt to the bike and them the time will come to change them, and replace them for off road, so would be next level. However, seems to me, the company don't give the off road tyres because it could make the motorbike price go up...
I think you are probably right. Cost is a bit more. Plus, road tires do add a bit of safety if one is only riding on the road.
Im looking at the SW Motech crash bars, but im scared because they dont protect down low like the original that go right next to the engine. can you mount the SW motech bars with the lower stock ones?
Hi there, great question! Unfortunately, I do not know. You might write SW Motech or search on forums.
Could you comment on the engine heat? I recently test rode a Tiger 900 Rally Pro and the engine heat was definitely noticeable, especially on my left leg and thigh. I'm 6' 3" and I've read that taller riders are having more of an issue with the engine heat on this model. Thanks!
Hi there, for sure! The engine heat is definitely noticeable. However, at speeds of 45 mph or higher, one can't feel it at all. If you are in traffic it can get a bit toasty. The heat is nothing compared to sport bikes though.
6’6” here - I’ve found the heat can be uncomfortable on warm days when I don’t have riding pants on, but it has never been a major issue for me after 36k miles on it
Ok I got my RP Now. I have some questions. 1. What boots you suggest. I have a buddy who had the Sidi Adventures...and is black and blue heel to knee after a rugged 4 day off road trip and said he's getting far more protective boots, stiffer etc...and more coverage so I was surprised by that. 2. Did you just use the 3M tape on the shock guard or did you drill small hole and use their "plugs". 3. Kickstand extender plate ? 4. No fenda extenda or rear tire huggers etc? off road prob too much much etc for those things right? I added grip puppies, Outback Motortek bashplate, lower guards and side racks, Hepco and Becker hand guards, a clear headlight guard as dealer said to get that as rocks eventually get in the metal ones. I went with Givi top plate and 46L Dolomiti top box very happy with. and Voight riser (30mm higher/20mm back) Quadlock all weather charger on anti vibration thing and adding a Thunderbox PDU to have everything turn on AFTER the engine is one. Figuring out a mount for it currently. If you ever come to SW US or San Diego, look me up for a ride down into Baja and some paragliding if you want too. I do tandems for celebs mostly lol. Thanks in advance !
Hey K EE, congrats on the Rally Pro!
1) Boots I find to be a very personal choice. Especially, based on the type of riding one does. I use the Alpinestars Belize Drystar Boots. I like them, but they are a little stiff when off the bike.
2) I used the 3M tape.
3) I've considered it... just haven't found a need for it yet. Any soft stuff I can find a rock easy enough.
4) Exactly, it would probably get damaged easily off-road. Not worth the cost IMO.
Seems like a great build so far! I will definitely take you up on your offer if I am in the area. Ride safe!
@@Idagonia Thank you for those answers! Keep up the videos!
Hi what make are the wing mirrors
You've got your BarkBusters mounted upside down. The U part faces up and the cables sit on top.
You are correct sir. The problem is the clutch cable. It has a stiff neck near the lever. With the position of my levers, the Bark Busters do not provide optimal coverage in the "correct" orientation.
Looks like there are bar risers. I think I'm after some myself
Nice video! I am wondering why the SW Motech crash bars and not the ones from Outback Motortek?
Thanks! The main reason was people have sheared bolts with the Outback Motortek crash bars. There has not yet been a case of that happening with the SW Motech ones... to my knowledge. Check out this video to learn more about the situation. Different bars, but same problem: th-cam.com/video/vsOhOuJKEI0/w-d-xo.html
@@Idagonia Thanks man, never would have known. They all present themselves as reliable products! Just got my very new Tiger 900 Rally, and I am selecting the crash bars. Was about to get the Outback Motortek ones, but I guess it's gonna be SW Motech now...
@@Idagonia But now I see this under the video you posted: "Same problem with my Tiger 900 Rally, SW Motech Crash Bars and the M10x80:din 912 bolt failure. Greetings from L.A-Chile". So is it a SW Motech problem too, after all? Damn...
Hmm... interesting. I haven't experienced the problem myself. I think the best thing would be to ensure the torque specs are perfect... or even a little under-torqued.
What did you get? I went with Outback M after way too much research lol....who knows for sure really.@@VojtechSchubert
My 2020 Rally Pro.... never had a false N.
Why no engine guards
nice
I am 88 year the first owner of triumph tiger rally pro 900
I dropped the bike and dented the feul tank.
I suggest that side protection is must on a bike like this.
Also tires should be the dunlop the ones recommended in the video.

I'm surprised you did not put on Rally pegs?
I've considered it, but I really enjoy the stock pegs. They are comfortable with the rubber inserts, and when removed, they provide great grip with just the right amount of movement for my feet.
What are those mirrors called....?
They are Double Take mirrors.
I WONT TO KNOW HOW MANY CYLINDERS IT HAS
Hey , it’s me again. Not much experience, but I’ll still give you my 2 cents. I’m talking about Pyramid Plastics. One item you left out was the fender extender. Cheap and worth while. Another Pyramid product I installed was that wind deflector down around the key. I don’t notice any difference so I think you folks out there can take a pass on that.
In a previous comment I was still not impressed with the front tire of my Dunlop Trailmax Missions. I’m over it. It is great. I just need to remember not to be a complete idiot.
Hey Bob, thanks for your comment. I did leave out the fender extender. I'm a bit worried adding it to the bike as I think I will break it from throwing rocks up. Thank you for the heads up on the wind deflector! I was debating it. Honestly, tire choice has a lot to do with riding style and skill level. It's quite a personal subject. I'm glad you like it though. I'm loving them.
Try the new, softer, RAIDs...
This guy said a "3D printed mount I made" so nonchalantly. lol
