2003 Triumph Tiger 955i winter maintenance list
Chassis Maintenance
That's a tricky job because removing the bearing destroys them, so if things get that far along I need to make sure I can get new needle bearings... and a press?

Triumph FUEL INJECTOR, F-TYPE, LONG Part # T1240891 |
- clean fuel injectors?
- how to do that except the first comment is not to backflush a fuel injector as they almost never go bad and this can wreck them
- Royal Purple FI PEA Cleaner
- I think I'm going to go with the SeaFoam I've been using if they aren't showing any signs of leaking
- Motion Pro makes a clamp that lets you force cleaner through injectors, but it's expensive (for a clamp) and I'm not sure it's necessary
- Another FI cleaning how to
- And another is removing and cleaning injectors necessary? Evidently.
- I think I'm going to draw some PEA cleaner through with a vacuum pump and let it soak rather than trying to pressure force cleaner through the system
- I balanced the injectors in the spring with an FI vacuum/mercury system, but I'm going to try it again using the TUNEboy diagnostic system I've got.
LED Indicator Light Upgrade
- replace existing LEDs with heavy metal update
- got the parts in
- kept the original flasher relay so if these aren't LED they'll still work
- put LEDs on it aside
Tire Change
- change tires and inner tubes (either through Lloyd or DIY?)
- https://www.cycleworld.com/how-to-change-a-motorcycle-tire/
- looks pretty straight forward - where can I get tire irons? Tire spoons aren't expensive and are available on Amazon.
- Already got the tires in from REVCO.
- Also have new inner tubes with Counter Balance balancing beads already in them
- chatted with our auto teacher at school, I'm going to have a go at this DIY next week in the shop
Brake Fluid Flush And Fill
- Read the BIKE article on braided brake lines
- done this before on the Concours
- Tiger needs new fluid anyway (3 yrs since last flush)
- Get DOT4 fluid
- replace lines with DISCO HEL lines
