Thanks again for another great video. My 2009 Tiger 1050 has covered 34,000 miles and is visually in great condition, however with no documented service history, I plan to go through a lot of maintenance work over this winter, starting with steering bearing replacement, rebuilding of the front forks and also checking the valve clearances. I've already made a start by replacing the fluids, filters, plugs, battery and brake pads recently and had never thought about inspecting the fuel tank and fuel pump, so that's another little task to add to my list. Thanks again for your videos and I hope there will be more to come. Along with my trusty Haynes manual, they will all prove invaluable reference guides for me. Take care and best wishes.
Your welcome. Looks like intense work in the pipeline. Be careful with Haynes, although they are good manuals I already had issues following them. Try and find a OEM Manual, especially for the torque specs. and best of luck
It should be noted, contrary to what is stated in this video, that the fuel pump can be serviced. The flat bag style filter, which is freely available, can be replaced as can the actual fuel pump motor unit, again freely available from any number of online vendors.
I won’t discuss this as it’s partially true. Please know Triumph does not sell a service kit, nor recommend opening these pumps. It’s high licking that changing the motor and filter will get you stranded! As the vendors you mention sell third class stuff. Better buy a new pump T2400499, only 380 euro as these probably won’t fail and are lifetime value and maintenance free. On this channel I only recommend OEM or Premium spare parts.
Thanks for the tip. Today I cleaned the tank on my BMW R1100RT. When I received the new part and mount the repaired unit I’ll take your advise in action. Cheers

Fill the tank on the bike, safer
