Thank you for your participation in the tiger community and youtube videos man 🙏🏼
No problem 👍🏻
I had to remove the front and back wheels today to change tires. This is the first time I have done this on a bike since my RD250 in the 1980s. Way more complicated, but your video was perfect thank you. Keep up the great work!
Thanks 👍🏻
Brilliant video. I’ve never removed my own wheels for new tyres, but this makes it look so easy and saves a fair bit on the price of fitting. Thank you 👍🏻
+Paul Jones thanks 👍🏼
MuddySump, you simply rock! Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge and experience! Thank you for taking time in doing these videos! I find them very useful and they help me a lot!
Merci beaucoup pour cette vidéo!! Celle ci et toutes les autres sont top! Merci 💪🏻
De rien
Hey Muddy, your tutorial vids are excellent, very methodical and professional. Thanks for doing this series on the Tiger 800, I know my bikes mechanics so much better now. Way more fun to work on my Triumph. I think it makes you a better rider too learning more about your bike.
Thanks. Yea, its good to know if something happens with your bike you might be able to fix it yourself and get home
Clean instructions thank you
👍🏻
Wish I'd have watched this before I took off my wheel to put on a new chain. Had the adjuster block on upside down, went out for a short ride and turned back half way cause something was seriously up.. checked the adjuster notches and they were perfectly in line... but the adjuster bolt on the right was almost double the length of the one on the left. Came here to make sure i'd not put in a spacer wrong.. then it hit me. Be careful of this one anyone who takes off their wheel, it's easily done!
I’ve seen it a few times
It will help me for my next travel. Thank you!
👍🏼
Thanks, much appreciated
This is such an excellent video.
Thanks
Yea! The video I've been waiting for. Nice stuff. Thank you!
Left it out on purpose. Chain adjustment video uploading now :-)
Hi, It was just normal grease. Stops the axle from seizing in. If you can find waterproof grease it would be better
Hi MuddySump, I used ball bearing grease for this, would that be allright? Or is normal grease something different for you? Thanks!
Thanks for posting - I've been learning a bunch from your videos. I would ask though -- you left out the bit about adjusting the chain tension and re-setting the adjusters. Can you amend / post another video on how to adjust the chain tension and re-set the adjusters? If I understand correctly, the bike should be on the side-stand (vs center stand) in the video to properly measure chain tension.
Thanks for watching :-)
Disassembled my rear wheel this evening, as I needed to switch the rear brake disk and pads.
Your films were a good help. thx :)
One little question though. You also mentioned some "copper grease" of "copper slip" at some point, adding it on the brake-pads. Can you give us more info on this? I used regular grease. Should that do OK?
Funny thing ... I also have a Tiger 800 AND a DRZ400 :)
Hi Ludo thanks for the feedback. Copper grease works at higher temperatures and is an anti seize grease. Its actually used by the factory on some of the engine mounts. You should be able to find it in a automotive or hardware shop.
The 2 bikes make a good combination :-)
thx :)
awesome.
Thanks 🙏🏼
Thanks for this one too! Most helpful videos. I'm picking mine up in a couple of months. Would it be too much to ask if you can do one for valve adjustment?
Thanks. Hope you like the bike. Which version you going for?
Do you follow me on facebook? Gonna be some info about valve clearances on there soon
I bought a 2014 800XC SE. Will be picking it up to coincide with the Oshkosh Experimental Airshow in Wisconsin. Then driving it home to California - about 2500 miles.
Steven Vontomeyer excellent, nice first ride for it :-)
Thank you, this is a very helpful video. Any advice on checking/ adjusting wheel spoke tension on a 2018 Tiger 800 xca? There's nothing at all mentioned in the owner's handbook, and the pitch varies when tapping the spokes with a spanner, as I've seen done on some videos. Many thanks in advance.
You adjust them with a spanner at the part that goes into the rim. Tapping the spokes with a spanner is how you tell if any are loose. Unless it’s sounds really flat like there’s no tension on the spoke I would just leave it.
MuddySump ok, many thanks for this tip.
what did you put on the axle with the brush, please?
Hi there. Great video. What are the socket tools you're using for the calliper?
Hi. It's just a 12 and 14mm socket
They look funkier than that. Standard sockets?
Ah you mean the tool I'm using...it's the motion pro trail tool, real handy bit of kit. Add some extra sockets and bits to it and can do most things you need
Cool. Thanks. Have ordered a set.
Nathan Clough it’s pretty much all the same fasteners. They’ve changed some fasteners to torx on them though
Great video but you didn't have to remove the rear brake caliper.
+Vic Wiseman more space to work for the sake of removing two bolts
MuddySump I see, that's a good point. I don't like removing the calipers if I can help it because it slowly wears out the caliper bolts.
Hi MuddySump, do you grease those wheel spacers at all before putting them back on?
It just attracts dirt and makes grinding paste between the spacer and the seal. Are your spacers falling out of the seals?
It just attracts dirt and makes grinding paste between the spacer and the seal. Are your spacers falling out of the seals?
@@MuddySump The spacers seem ok. Other than one of them is scored pretty good, might have been from grease in there entrapping some dirt. I will keep the grease off of them.
Jason Keerak yea, that’s what it does. Loses the seal functionality and can let dirt get through
@@MuddySump Do you know why the front tyre is different? I notice that grease is called for on the front tyre spacers.
Any particular brand/type of grease you like? I see in comments you mentioned water proof, but no luck just yet. Did find this. www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000XBH9HI/ref=pd_luc_rh_bxgy_01_04_t_img_lh?ie=UTF8&psc=1 - I found silicone spray for the cush drive as well. I googled but did not find out what the cush drive does?
I just use a multi purpose grease
Hi Muddy,
First, thanks for all these videos, you're a lifesaver. I just took off my rear wheel to put on a new tire- now i'm having some trouble with the rear brake- It looks like the front pin is sticking, or that bracket isn't sitting right- but i just took everything out, greased it up and put it back on before I took the video. I bled the brake and there is almost no stopping power in that rear brake (but lots of heat)
The first one you can see the bracket flexing when I pump the brake, the second video is a better angle of the bracket.
Let me know if you've got any ideas.

Is the bracket sat in the swinging arm properly? Is the little spring plate that’s in the top of the caliper in the right way ?
Hi there, thanks for getting back to me. I got it figured out. I had the front caliper pin cross-threaded, but i was able to get it out and put back in the right way.
Hi Dan French, I have the exact same problem at the moment, I think the issue is the front caliper pin just like you experienced. Got the pin back out with no drama's but each time I tightening the pin I start to feel resistance after a few turns, feels like its starting to cross-tread. Should I expect some resistance when tightening the pin or should I be able to tighten the pin by hand more than two or three turns before I need to use the socket? Thanks
Ian Hutch it should go in easy all the way. Try running a tap into the Caliper and a die on the pin to clean the threads. I’m pretty sure they’re 10mm by 1.0 pitch
MuddySump, you’re a gentleman, thanks for the quick reply. I've had the pin out and the treads on the pin and caliper both look okay, I’m just feeling resistance when tightening the pin. The pin goes in okay when the caliper is off the rail/ bracket, but when I try to tighten it to the rail/ bracket it doesn’t feel right. I’m starting to think it’s something to do with the rubber boot, although it looks okay too. I’m going to take the rear wheel off again and see will it go on without the wheel. As advised above, I’ll check the swing arm bracket and the little spring plate in the caliper. Cheers
These videos are great! I did notice some scoring on my left side spacer. Would I be correct in assuming this is the result of me not aligning the rear wheel correctly?

+Rick Connoly can't open pic on phone. it's probably just where dirt gets between the spacer and the seal. It's common, like grinding paste when it's spinning around.
Perfect... and thank you very much for your prompt reply!
:-)
