To check the engine oil level, first ensure the motorcycle is on a level surface and the engine is warm. Turn off the engine and wait a few minutes. Check the oil level through the sight glass on the right side of the engine. The oil level should be between the minimum and maximum marks.
The recommended tire pressure for the Triumph Tiger 800 ABS 2011 is 36 psi for the front tire and 42 psi for the rear tire. Always refer to the owner's manual for confirmation.
If your Tiger 800 won't start, check the battery connections and charge. Ensure the kill switch is in the 'run' position, and the bike is in neutral. Also, inspect the fuses and fuel supply. If problems persist, consult a professional mechanic.
The air filter should be inspected every 6,000 miles and replaced if it appears dirty or damaged. Regular maintenance schedules can be found in the owner's manual.
Triumph recommends using a 50/50 mix of ethylene glycol-based antifreeze and distilled water for the cooling system. Ensure the coolant is suitable for aluminum engines.
To adjust the chain tension, place the bike on a stand. Loosen the rear axle nut and adjust the chain tension using the adjusters on both sides of the swingarm to achieve proper slack, typically 20-30mm. Retighten the axle nut and recheck the tension.
If the ABS light stays on, it indicates a potential issue with the ABS system. Check for any obvious damage to wheel speed sensors or ABS wiring. If no visible issues are found, consult a professional mechanic for a diagnostic check.
To improve fuel efficiency, maintain proper tire pressure, perform regular maintenance such as oil changes and air filter replacements, and avoid aggressive riding. Smooth acceleration and maintaining a steady speed can also help.
To replace the brake pads, remove the caliper bolts and slide the caliper off the rotor. Remove the old pads, clean the caliper, and insert the new pads. Reinstall the caliper and bolts, ensuring everything is securely fastened.
To reset the service indicator, you may need a diagnostic tool or software compatible with Triumph motorcycles. Alternatively, a dealership can reset it during routine maintenance.
