This bike is truly amazing! Give it an 8.5/10!
If you know anywhere else to get parts/accessories, please list them in the comments.
Thank you for watching!!
Great video. Thanks.
I’m sure it’s been mentioned that you can go from off-road back to road mode without stopping. I recently discovered this myself so I don’t blame you. This is a common complaint so we need to spread the word that it can in fact be done!
Funny thing about that, I was out on a ride today and either forgot how to get it back into road mode, or it no longer works because I had a heck of a time. And It makes it so much worse when you are riding with a group. They either have to wait for you or you have to play the catch up game. Granted it doesn't take long to stop and switch modes, but it is still annoying!!! Thanks for watching.
@@MotoInTheValley I actually had trouble doing it yesterday as well. I’ve only had one successful on the fly switch since I heard about the trick. But it should be: push ride mode button, push again and hold until it switches. Only works from off-road back to road. I’ll give it a try again tomorrow and let you know if it works lol. Completely agree about the hassle with a group!
EDIT: You can go from Offroad to road mode without stopping... however, if you have TC turned off in the offroad mode, then you can't go from road to offroad without stopping the motorcycle.
I’m picking one up this week and coming from a KLR 650 I don’t think I’ll have a problem with any of it. Good information and I’m totally on board with the tires. Actually thinking of telling the dealer to throw in a pair of 50/50s.
You won't regret the purchase! And yes absolutely just have them change out the tires before pick up. Thanks for watching, how you enjoy the Tiger!
Have to agree with all your points. I bought my 21 slightly used in 22. The guy I bought it from put AX41s on it right away. It also had T-Rex bars and plate. Horrendous resonance from them...like tuning forks! Replaced with Akurat parts and it made a HUGE difference reducing felt vibration a considerable amount. He had Pivot Pegz on it, which I dont like and replaced with SW-Momoney lowering adv pegs. I didnt like the flatish bars and replaced them with handlebars from a GT. More sweep which matched all of the BMWs I've owned and much more comfortable. Currently running Missions and very happy with them.
I can't be too mad, overall a very good bike! Thanks for watching.
@@MotoInTheValley Yeah, my original post didnt say how much I love this bike. Spent 10 years on R1200GS and GSA, and it was an adjustment but I really appreciate how sporty it is in the canyons, and really performs off-pavement.
I'm 2 years and 9000 miles in on my RP. With you on the list. I'd put the need to swap out parts tied at #1 with replacing the tires as well (Did mine at the 600 mile service - Dunlop TrailMax Missions 👍). And oddly, you get a heated rear-passenger seat as standard. But it's fantastic bike, love riding it on and off-road.
I just swapped out my tires today, it will be a yearly task. I want the 50/50 tires so I can push it offroad, but I do a fair amount of road riding so they don't last long at all. Thanks for watching!
@@MotoInTheValley What did you decide on? Mine came with AX41s which were fantastic off road, but the rear lasted about 1200 miles (I blame the quickshifter...)
I had the shinko 805 on the rear only because I already had it, and the mitas E-07 for the front... I just switched to the Battlax AX 41 rear and the Tusk 2 track front. Kinda disappointed that you say the AX41 won't last long, but I kind of expected that.
@@MotoInTheValley Depends on how much self-restraint you have =D Between the AX41 and the Missions I'm running now, had an 805 on the rear of the Tiger for a trip...those lasted just under 1.8K (I could get 2500 out of them on the GS). I ran 804/805 on the wire wheel set for my GS, 705s on the alloys. The eight-ohs worked great for me.
The more I learn about these bikes the less I want to own one.
Overall a great motorcycle both on and off road. They all have thier quirks right?
And the more you miss out on life.
toggle switches; yes a problem; use a roller wheel like Bmw !!
21K on Triumph Tiger 900 Rally Pro.
1. True
2. Bullshit
3. Bullshit
4. Bullshit
5. Sadly true :/
I have the same bike. It is marketed as a 24 Rally Special Edition with all the options as the Rally Pro. It doesn't come with heated seats, which cost $575.00 from Triumph. The new 34 models have more HP and a few more options. All aftermarket parts for the 23 fit it.
Yes I agree on all that except the heated seats... mine came with the heated seats. Not sure if that is just a dealer thing or a US thing, but I have emailed Triumph to see why it is marketed as a 24 model. All they said was its because it is a special edition. In my opinion it was terrible timing with the real 24 model being upgraded. But what can ya do?
Wow, I had to buy a set if heated seats from Triumph, and swap sest covers to maintain the special color scheme. I have bought several Pyraimid aftermarket accessories that are useful. Traded in my Tiger 1200 for it.
The 2024 model made a ton of the most complained about issue improvements. I almost got the T Rex stuff but went with Outback Motortek uppper, lower, bash and racks. I got some stuff also from AliExpress, Mosko Moto bags etc etc etc....Hepco/Becker handguards...which stops vibrations... pivot pegz.... Givi 46L top case... Mission tires....(might go Raid next time as I ride in Baja often from San Diego). I LOVE the bike so much..hate the TFT user interface. The 2024 model really nailed it. Of course I bought the 2023 11 mths prior but yeah i love the bike and ride 2 up often and she loves the heated seat. My gas mileage is terrible..even BEFORE I added the mods and bars etc...and regardless of 2 up riding. I'm like, ...37-39 mpg which is about 10 worse than anybody I know worldwide. Drives me nuts.
Yes, I am mad I didn't research more to find out they were upgrading everything before buying my Aragon Edition. And my mpg is about 42 I believe.
@@MotoInTheValley well, it wasn't announced and kept pretty quiet.
lo angle makes it easier to get on the bike; ! wish the seat was as low as the 500x. ; even the 750gs is lower and more level pannier seat. Sure can't depend on hard ground to use the pegs to get on . like the 900xr; you lean the bike sideways to get on.
Luckily I'm tall enough if I have to lift my leg over while standing on uneven ground I can, it's just not easy. I've been in that situation multiple times, it is definitely one of the things that make trail riding not fun.
Hepco and Becker is a good place.... and obviously Triumph has there own accessories too.
Yes I forgot about Hepco, thank you!
Triumph’s reason for having to stop is safety because of TC and ABS being switched off but I think that is stupid simple because if you want off-road mode then that’s going to be off and on road modes it will be switched back on 🤷♂️. In the Uk you do get the option of a more off-road tyre but not off-road enough for you 😂 I’m not sure if this would work but have you tried setting up the rider mode for your off-road exertions 🤷♂️
It says you can't switch into any mode where the TC is turned off unless you stop. And for my offroad setup I want the TC off. So even setting up the rider mode wouldn't help in my case. Thanks for watching!
I bought my wife the same model you have, but with the lowered suspension. On her bike the footpeg is not that bad, and I suspect the issue is because Triumph is using the same footpeg for the GT Pro with the even lower suspension. It would be nice if they offered different options for the different level suspensions. Also, the Barkbusters for this bike is really horrible. I am struggling to get them fitted properly without inducing a very sharp bend in the front brake line. In South Africa Rockfox also makes accessories for the Triumph.
Never heard of Rockfox that's perfect I will check it out thank you!
What I hate is after I service the bike I have to pay the dealership $70 to reset the service light.
100% agree, I tried to do the trick where you get the reader and download the app. But it's cost $30 for the app and it's sketchy. So I will just look at the light until I can get out to the dealer who is an hour and a half away from me.
The laggy display didn't make the list? I played around with one at a bike show but the lag when switching around would drive me insane.
I haven't noticed any lag... but I probably will now that you say it hahaha
Saludos, tengo tambien esta moto y encantado con ella, puedes cambiar de cualquier modo de conduccion, incluidos los todo terreno, a ROAD sin detener la moto, solo tienes que apretar el boton selector de modos durante unos segundos y pasa a ROAD, espero que te sirva para elimonar el punto cinco😉
Whattttt!?!?! I will be trying this immediately! Thanks for watching!
@@MotoInTheValley ya diras como te ha ido✌
@@sergioreyes1725 I absolutely will.
Ok well you were kind of right, I was able to get it out of offroad mode to road mode, but I can't get it back in because I have the traction control turned off in my offroad mode. So I can't switch back into offroad mode without stopping still.
@@MotoInTheValley Para poder poner el modo offroad se tiene siempre que detener la motocicleta, creo que es por normativa de seguridad para no poder ponerlo accidentalmente y desconectar los sistemas ABS
on-off road so must be some mechanical linkgage to get off road ? Seat height, weight could be less !! even at 6' ; its tough.
The offroad modes essentially just disengage your traction control and/or ABS braking. But it's almost necessary to switch because it's so invasive you can barely ride gravel unless you're in offroad mode. Thanks for watching!
How is the heat issues on the 24? I have a 23 and the heat from the fans makes it horrible in the summer months.
It is still an issue when riding in the higher temps, BUT I notice a hugeee difference when I wear jeans compared to riding pants. The riding pants block most of the heat, and I wear riding pants 90% of the time, so for me, it's a minor issue.
try asia for very limited dealerships ! A lot of bikes sitting waiting on parts from UK !
windshiled to be replaced; first think;. accessories in France, Italy.
I was very happy with the windshield at first...... now I see why no one is happy with it, I may have to admit I was wrong about it!
Hi! Can you put the model of your hand gard Barkbuster ?
Barkbusters VPS
www.revzilla.com/motorcycle/barkbusters-vps-handguard-kit-for-78-handlebars
Give it to me then !
It's not going anywhere haha!
Carpimoto to buy stuff. It's cheaper than buying in USA.
Thank you! I will check it out.
List should be 6 things, and the 6th would be, its not a Moto Guzzi V85TT. Triumph dealers suck about as bad as MG, always going out of business. You might look at the V85TT, way simple machine plus you can configure a custom mode and change modes on the fly.
Is the Guzzi that good? That's even harder to find around me!
@@MotoInTheValley The V85TT is a nice bike, low on power at first. Test ride one if you can.
Like my 900 , but probably going to buy something else.
What's top of your list?
y ahora un truco tonto pero muy vistoso con las luces....pasa de las luces de dia a las cortas, conecta los antinieblas y sin apagarlos vuelve a poner las luces de dia dale al pulsador de las rafagas y veras como se encienden todos los faros...cortas, largas antinieblas muy vistoso para sludar a un compañero con el que te cruces o hacerte ver mucho
Dang you got all the tricks!
Puedes hacer un video acerca de eso?
Yes, I can make a video
