The Triumph dealerships make this process sound like an Alien is going to work on your motorcycle when you give it for service after the 20,000 and 40,000 intervals. The skill that you have shown is remarkable and hats off to your patience.
Glad you liked the video sir... thanks for watching and keep safe out there... :)
I'm am continually impressed, having watched your videos, how you keep that bike so clean inside and out.
Good job John!
Really good video. Easy, real world tuition. Cheers
Nicely done!
Thanks again John you were a big help when I fitted the cruise control to the Versys, and I now have the Tiger 900 GT PRO and have just done the valve clearances on that with your help again, we seem to have the same taste in Bikes, Thanks again Alan
Very clear on point video , must be a great deal of work ! Thanks so much . I'm doing my first ( on this bike 2018 Tiger 800 XCA . Will be using this to make sure every thing is plumed back in before the tank goes on . Thanks !!!!

Thanks for the very detailed video. You make it sound so simple. Inspiring me to do things on my own. Looking forward for more videos from you. Awesome video.
Good to hear from you sir... Thanks for watching... :)
Great video thanks for all the information
Thanks for watching sir... keep safe out there... :)
Brilliant video. Thanks so much for showing how to check the cam alignment, I'm hoping I can use that technique on my 2018 800.
Hello there sir.. good to hear from you... I do not believe the 2018 800's had adjustable cam timing. I believe that was introduced in 2019 and then carried over to the 900's in 2020... Thanks for watching and keep safe out there... :)
Great thanks, very good mechanic and kind man!)))
This video saved my bike) The only video in the World, which is really helpful.
Many-many great thanks!)))
Good to hear from you sir. Glad I could be of some assistance... thanks for watching and good luck with all your projects... :)
Thanks for sharing sir
Good work 👍💪✌️
Glad you liked... thanks for watching... :)
Thank you very much. This was very helpful. You are a careful and competent mechanic. I've got a 2013 Tiger but you've given me a pretty good idea of the job. Your video on the throttle body synchronization was also helpful. I've just picked up those tools so will be doing that as well. My No.3 cylinder is a little off, which is causing some vibration in the throttle grip.
Good to hear from you sir, glad you liked the videos... Good luck with all your projects and thanks for watching... :)
I wonder if that might be my problem. Tires are balanced, wheels and spokes are true. I'll be doing this service and the throttle body sync on mine next weekend. It would be awesome if that solves the vibration problem. Tired of my right hand going numb so quick when I ride this bike.
Nice job, thanks..
Thanks for watching sir... :)
Thanks for sharing. One question: No need to reset the chain tensioner?
Very impressive and informative. Thanks for sharing the process. I have a 2022 Tiger Rally Pro and would like to know if it is basically the same process?
Good to hear from you sir, Yes the 900 hundreds are the same... thanks for watching and keep safe out there... :)
Great video! Any suggestions on removing the carbon buildup on the intake valves? I have a same issue on my Tiger 900. Thanks!
Hello there sir, good to hear from you. I have been running fuel injector cleaner in my gas in both of my bikes to clean the carbon off the back side of the intake valves ever since I made that video. My V-Strom runs noticeably smoother since I have been doing this. I can't tell a whole lot of difference on my Tiger but I am sure the valves look much better now than they did on this video.. thanks for watching... keep safe out there.... :)
Very informative and well done video! Is the 1200 procedure pretty much the same thing?
hello there sir, good to hear from you... yes the 1200 is very similar to this... thanks for watching... :)
Nice presentation. What do you use for your OBD tool?
Hello there sir, good to hear from you... I use an app called TuneECU. I believe its developers are from England. It works with most of the Triumph bikes. It is available at the Google Play store... Good luck with all your projects... thanks for watching... keep safe out there.. Here a a video on the TuneECU app... ua-cam.com/video/xdgwwmYAawM/v-deo.html
Hi John, Congrats for doing this complicated job so well by yourself ! Well done ! Unfortunately, i don't have this talent; my dealer did this job to my Tiger 800 XCa 2018 recently and i have been said that the valves were ok, in the spec range. But it happens sometimes when i start the bike cold to ear a rattling sound coming out of the engine; to me it sounds like the timing chain, it last just few seconds and it stop. Do you have any idea what this could be ? Thanks and i keep looking your video to get mechanic knowledge.
Hello sir, good to hear from you. Yes sir I believe I do know what you might be hearing on cold start in your Tiger engine. The 800 Tiger engine has a valve that the computer controls that ports fresh air into the exhaust ports to introduce oxygen in the exhaust gases which causes the exhaust gases to burn more completely. The gases burn in the header pipes and creates quite a bit of noise that sounds like a loud rattle in the engine. Normally the computer only opens this valve during deceleration of the engine which masks the noise produced. However the Tigers software in the computer will occasionally open this valve momentarily on a cold start. This causes a rattle sound that can be alarming. I am not sure which model years this peculiarity in the ECM software exists but I do know my 2019 has it and I have seen quite a few posts on different forums discusing this issue. It seems to be the later 3 or 4 years of the 800's that I have seen comments about this. I would say that there is a very good chance that this is what you are hearing. It is not an issue to be concerned about, it will not affect the engine in any way. From what I have read it is apparent that Triumph does not recognize this as an issue. There have been no service advisories or acknowledgement from Triumph that this condition exists so your dealer is not going to know anything about it unless he has ran into this issue previously with a customers bike. I would not worry about it and just rock on. At least that is what I do.... I hope this eases your mind a bit... thanks for watching and keep safe out there... :)
@@ozarksbackroads5484 WoW ! this is an answer. Thank you very much John ! When I expose that problem to my dealer he just said that all Tiger where rattling like that which 😂which was not an answer to me. Know I’m a step ahead in my understanding of the situation and a little less worry. 😌 all the best to you and your bikes
@@ozarksbackroads5484 Thanks for the thorough explanation, John. I also hear it on my '19xca, been told it is normal, now it's nice to know what it is. I appreciate the service video's and really enjoy the channel.
Hello there can u make a list of tools u need to work on these tiger 800s👍 Cheers frm INDIA!!
Hi thanks for the video.
I have a 2019 tiger with the adjustable cam sprockets.
Would you mind confirming the in and ex valve clearance specification as I have checked my valves and all the exhaust valves are wide open (0.33mm)
In the video, you said exhaust clearance is 0.15 - 0.20mm
Big thanks.
Hello there sir, good to hear from you. I understand your concerns with your valve clearances. Triumph has several different configurations of heads that they installed on their engines in 18, and 19. As far as I can tell there were three different possibilities of head part numbers that could be on your bike. .3 to .35mm was one of the exhaust valve clearance possibilities for those years and sounds like what you have there. You would have to check your VIN number against factory specs to be sure. If you google "2019 Triumph Tiger Valve Specifications" you can find a lot of info online that will help you out... good luck and thanks for watching... :)
Hello, thank you for making these videos, they are of great value! can you share a link where to find valve clearance for my 2011 Tiger XC
Hello there sir, I use the Haynes online manuals but they don't give the valve clearance specs in their manuals for the Tigers so I wound up getting my specs for my 2019 tiger from a dealer. I did find this online manual that lists specs however you might give it a look... en.calameo.com/books/002663440a81f417d4ace
Thanks for watching and good luck with all your projects.... :)
Thank you ! Much appreciate
Hello, with how many km is this verification? .... Great job!..Thanks you!!!... Best regards
Good to hear from you sir, My bike has just over 15,000 miles on it so that is around 24,000 Kilometers. thanks for watching and keep safe out there... :)
Intakes .004"-.006" all mine are .006" except one which is probably .0055". Now Exhaust , all mine are .014" ! well above .006"-.008". Using the Haynes manual, intake 0.10 to 0.20 MM , (.0038-.0078") EXHAUST 0.325mm-0.375mm (.0127"-.0147") so, I guess I'm good ?. Where did you get .006-.008" for the exhaust ??? (nice vid, huge help)
Is your bike the 2019 800 with the adjustable cam timing? Mine is... different head and valve specs than all other 800 models. That is why I said in the video to get the correct valve specs for your machine.... :(
hi just wondering where you got the obd link for you phone
Hello there sir, good to hear from you. You can order the obd link from Amizon.com. They are probably the cheapest you will find. Thanks for watching... keep safe out there... :)
Hello Even if this doesn't fit the topic, I have a question? I have a Tiger 800. When the engine is warm, the oil pressure light lights up when idling and goes out when you accelerate a little. Engine oil 15w50 and oil filter is new. Have you ever heard of such a problem? LG Helmut
Hello there sir.. your computer is reading low oil pressure on the engine.. I would have dealer service check your oil pressure with a manual Guage to see if the pressure is really low or if the oil pressure sending unit might just be bad... good luck... thanks for watching...
Hello Thanks for the quick reply. Yes, I will have the pressure measured. However, the sensor is very hidden and it will be difficult to connect a pressure gauge there
Lg.Helmut
How many miles was on the tiger when you did valve clearance and timing check.
Hello there sir, I think it was at 14 or 15K miles when I did that... Thanks for watching.. :)
5.3 thousands? 😂. I get what your trying to say, .0053. Good vid. I'm a machinist, that's why I'm messing with you.
How often on valve clearence?
Hello there sir, the manual says every 12,000 miles on the valve clearance check... thanks for watching... keep safe out there... :)
@@ozarksbackroads5484 Much appreciated..
how did you come up with 4 to 6 thousands on intake and 6 to 8 on exhaust?
Hello there sir, I found those specs in the service manual... have you found information to the contrary? thanks for watching... keep safe out there... :)
@@ozarksbackroads5484 1 mm = 0.03937 inch
So, inlet is .1 - .2 mm and exhaust is 0.325-0.375mm
I use mm gauge, but
.1mm ~= .004"
.2mm ~= .008"
.325~=.013"
.375~=.0147"
Only reason i asked is because my haynes manual says 0.10 to 0.20 on intake and 0.325 to 0.375 on exaust?
@@bowkill32 Hello again sir, yes I too have the Haynes manual for my 2019 Tiger and it has the wrong values listed as well for the valve clearances on the 2019 engine. I found a Triumph Service manual on line to get the correct clearances. The specs given in the Haynes manuals are way off. I don't know if maybe some of the earlier Tiger engines had greater clearance values and they used those for the 2019 specs or what happened there but they are wrong... :)
@@ozarksbackroads5484 I have an online copy too i can look at. Reckon there was a difference between the earlier 17 models and 18 year bike.. Mine is a 17 model..
@@bowkill32 I believe the 17 and 18 year models are the same, mine is a later 19 model with the redesigned engine so my valve clearance specs may very well be different than yours. It is possible that the Hayes manual may have the correct valve clearance listed for your engine but I would check with the Triumph service manual to make sure.... :)
