Its not no charging issue i know that for a fact because of experience an changing parts i even put lithium battery wit 500 CCAs and nun..its something else these triumph is a pain total pain. Maybe higher gauge wire you use mite help. How is it going did the issue fixed ?
Ook cool, probably you didn't go on a long ride to really test. Because i have lithium battery full of power when start battery is charging 14+ volts and when i go on ride before i start the bike my battery is on 13+ volts so its not no stator, regulator or battery.
@BeastMode-yl5ow I've done a 3k ride in the Alps when hot weather this summer -with zero issue, and some commuting. For me thats not enough to be sure but it's something. Charging problems are always related to the stator, battery or voltage regulator. Could be a relay or fuse but thats another story. If your battery is of a good brand and suited for the bike (correct parameters) then you should measure the output on the regulator and resistance in the stator coils. If your bike is draining the battery its a stator or regulator issue.
Did you actually have a starting issue with the bike? I had hot start issues with my bike and found a melted main fuse in the starter relay. I replaced the relay but do have issues starting the bike sometimes, hot or cold. If I leave the ignition on for more than 10 seconds before hitting the starter the battery will not have the power to crank it over.
Yes, I had the stalling issues and new batteries failing within the year. The fuse on the start relay is only to protect components from current surges when starting. I changed all electrical components when I was at it. The stator measured within specs but changed it anyway. Change a regulator and stator best in sets. Also changed the starter cables for 6mm thickness instead or the standard 4mm. After these repair I had no problems.
No worries mate. 180CCA (Not Amps) is enough with a good working charging system. In theorie the stater engages with 50 to 70 Amps, without the load. To turn the crank in cold conditions you need more but not 210Amps. I know these bikes have strong compression. However, less suitable battery will give you 210 CCA of power. Although mine has 200CCA (check te links), the system does not need it. Usually the issue lays in the charging system. That is insufficient charging and gives starting problems. Battery should always be at minimum +12.5V
@Ciderwinder Varta arguably is the best battery brand in the world. BMW, Toyota, Audi, Mercedes uses them… Nice to know: the batteries in the camera of Neil Armstrong on the moon in 1969 were Varta. Been using them forever and trust it 100%. Personally: Yuasa has been a sad disaster on my Tiger - although was before I replaced all the electrics with premium parts. It’s not only the CCA limit that counts and quality is measured in other parameters. However, thanks for sharing and if it works for you or helps others choose all the better

I had no problems since changing the regulator, stator, and battery. In time I’ll be able to discern better but for now it seems ok

Also, make sure to use premium batteries. Varta, Yuasa, Bosh (in Europe) but nothing like Motobatt or other junk.
What is the gauge of the new cable ?thanks
Do you mean the gear indicator?
@@simDIY1981 sorry I mean the new cable diameter ….the new kit the one you installed for the starter motor …
No worries, I believe it’s 6mm. It’s on eBay: Starter cable kit for Tiger 1050 or something like that. Good luck
I want to find a 210 amp battery on a Triumph Sprint ST 1050, but there are no suitable sizes, all are large. 180 amps is not enough for these bikes.

@NikitaChe76 a Yuasa YTZ14S (has 230cca) is what you want.
