Bike: 2007 Triumph Tiger Bought: 19-APR-2007 (0 miles) Sold: 1-SEP-2010 (33,694 miles) Reason for sale: Leaked oil; Burned oil (Nice combination!); Felt I was being mistreated by the local dealership; Needed a TPS O-ring + TPS reset (requires Triumph tuning tool); All around, I now feel like this bike was a huge mistake, and I am glad that I got rid of it (especially based on the issues that Stierhoff had with his '07 Tiger). It may have never happened, but every time I got on the bike (which was less and less), I felt like I was waiting for the engine to seize / destroy itself because of the ongoing oil issues that I have noticed/encountered. Whether irrational or not, why would I want to invest more time and money into this scenario? (to put this in perspective, I would rather sell the bike back to a dealership and take a huge hit in the price in order to avoid another individual having to deal with all of the issues that I perceive this bike to have) Comments: Interesting link: 2007 Triumph Tiger specifications |
