  I ride a 2023 Triumph Tiger 850 Sport (similar) with a smaller TFT screen. I also find it difficult to find the Odometer and mileage. It seems IMO to be a case of technology’s use for the sake of it and to use up a budget. The answer lies in Triumph’s decision to change the TFT on the 2024 model to a more user friendly style.

  @TheD7035 Having recently had a play around with the 2024 model TFT, I actually prefer mine. I've also heard other 2020-2023 model owners say they also prefer the pre 2024 TFT.

  I picked up a 900 GT Pro about a month ago . I am going to swap out the exhaust for an Arrow slip-on b/c I hate the high pitched whistle of the stock exhaust. I have also ordered a custom seat from Corbin b/c the longest I can sit on the stock seat before I need to take a break is 1 1/2 hours.

• 
  @thetaleof2wheels.9473 ай бұрын

  @marklammers6117 I don't find the exhaust whistles at all, it's got more of a bark. The 800 Tiger used to have a distinct whistle. What you will be hearing is the induction noise, as the airbox is at the rear of the tank in-between your legs. If you take the seats off you can see the inspection panel for the air filter. I've found the seat very comfortable and can do about 3 hours before getting any numbness, using the heated function helps blood flow and relieves numbness, admittedly not useful in hot climates. The Tiger 900 so far is my favourite bike I've owned, quick and nimble without too much weight.

The CBF was great on the motorway, with plenty of power for overtaking and plenty in reserve, also sounds great with aftermarket exhaust. A very underrated bike. The only problem you would have is the power over a CB500X would be addictive. I went from a Kawasaki ER6-F to the CBF1000, and the CBF was just so much better.

  @bobfitzy6236 The Tiger has quicker acceleration, as the triple spins up quicker. I think the top speed is about the same, but would have to check the official figures for that. The Tiger is a much better handling bike, more nimble and less top heavy, and in my own personal opinion a more fun bike to ride. The 1200 Scrambler I had did sound better though as I had the SP Engineering slash cut exhaust, and it did have better low down torque. If I had the choice again, I would take the Tiger.

• 
  @thetaleof2wheels.9476 ай бұрын

  @juanmedrano9838 The 1200 Scrambler was an absolute blast to ride and did look fantastic. The reason I changed was given in the "change of scenery" video. Basically I'm a shorty and the 1200 XE is tall ( even lowered) and is top heavy with a full tank of fuel, made more noticeable on off camber roads. Also the Tiger is more suitable for touring and overall the better road bike. Don't get me wrong I absolutely loved the XE, but I'm much happier with the Tiger. I've already done more miles on the Tiger over a shorter period as well, which basically says it all really. You will always ride a bike more if you are more confident and comfortable on it.

What rear suspension settings do you have? I tend to run preload as by the settings, so if I'm solo it's solo rider. The damping I have set a few up from normal, so closer to sport. I only use comfort when doing longer straight roads or motorways. It does sound like you just need to get used to the different riding style of the bike, and maybe just have a try with different suspension settings for the rear shock. If you do really think something may be off with the bike, get it into a dealer or specialist for a health check, as it's always best to be safe than sorry.

  I agree the longer front fenda extender works well. On the rear a hugger is worthwhile too. Several available via Pyramid Plastics including colour matched versions. I went for the matt Puig one myself. Thanks for the vid.

  @tiger8853 The front fenda Extenda Extra is a must for the road, it does work brilliantly. I'm not keen on rear huggers, had one on the CBF1000F and found the rear shock still got pebble dashed, this rear shock shield works a hell of a lot better at protecting the shock. Also makes it easier to get in and clean the swingarm. Glad you enjoyed the vid, although I will admit the sound isn't great as I recorded it on my phone.

  @thelikeablerider8800 I would have thought with the dash on the 1200 being upgraded over the 900 it would have had more info. Good to know this video can help 1200 owners as well.👍😁

  Hi… interesting and helpful review can you advise as to the make of the front fender extender you have fitted please 👍

  @briandocherty7242 The front fender extender is from Pyramid Plastics, it's the fender extender extra. Not cheap but gives excellent coverage, and doesn't require fixing to the front mudguard. It's held on by two shaped metal bars that fix onto the extender and the bottom two brake caliper mounts. Road crap only just makes it above the factory plastic sump guard, and I mean only just, if I had the aluminium sump guard on it wouldn't make it above that. I'll be doing some reviews on what I've fitted to the bike, and giving my thoughts on them. I'm doing video releases every two weeks, to keep things going over winter. So keep an eye out for them.

  So why hasnt Triumph sorted this heat problem out? Could it be because most of their buyers dont ride them, you see very few on the road, style over substance, i can ride my BMW GS all day and no prob with heat, zero ! Same for most Jap bikes, yet Triumph put a bike on the market with a known issue and then expect you to pay to fix it, so what else is wrong in the design? Also Triumph main dealers are reluctant to let people have test rides, i asked for one and they claimed they didnt have a scrambler to test, maybe because i turned up on a much, much better German designed bike 🤷🏻‍♂️ were supposed to call be back and didnt, cant help but think they crossed me off the test ride list like 'he isnt gonna buy one of these, he rode in on a BMW GS' so thats what the main dealers think! I was a cash buyer, got a KTM Duke instead, also a much, much better bike all round as is the Ducati scrambler. Is looking good on a shit bike enough! 🤷🏻‍♂️ a huge number of bikers think so, i just wish Triumph would make more of an effort to sort out their design flaws because their build quality is good, just fix the design
