After taking the tank off so many times, I just avoided it and disconnection of fuel and connections altogether, and pivoted rear of tank up in air and secured with tie straps or bungees to the handlebars to get clearance to remove top filter box lid
It's even more fun once you add crash bars. I've also got an aftermarket windscreen mount that's got some extra metal braces that share the bracket for the driving lights so it's about 2x more fussy than what this video shows. Mine filter has needed a change for quite a while, and I've just been putting it off.. and putting it off...
Pretty much any sport, sport-cruiser, or adventure style bike has been this way for a minute. My Concours 14 was a bigger pain than this because you basically had to remove the entire fairing and it's a lot more plastic with stupid tabs everywhere. They actually make this seem worse than it is though.
I had a 2013 tiger 800, bought an air filter for it today before a trip around Europe but saw the video and thought how stupid it was just for an air filter change so didn't do it. Wrote the bike off whilst away, now I have a new tiger and going away again this year so going to bite the bullet and use thr filter I bought last year and do it 🤣 you're right shittest design ever

Wow. What a pain. Had many bikes and none come close to this level of disassembly...for an air filter.

Thanks. Pretty labour intensive. But this is the norm for bikes these days hey.
Excellent thank you.
How did you put the air filter why did you skip that part?
You are absolutely right man, that was a mistake. We gave more emphasis to the disassembly procedure. Thanks for watching.
Nice!
This is the most difficult , painfull and tiring air filter change ever....
You should work on more bikes 😁
Triumph needs to fire their engineers ASAP this is crazy to change the damn filter. I wouldn't have chosen the bike had I known this 😡 fkn BS

This is kinda the norm for a lot of bikes except mostly cruiser style. My Concours 14 (sport-cruiser) was worse. The Tiger really isn't that bad.
All these guys whining over nothing haha@@zack2013
