Yes but when your going off road and you need either stop to open a gate or something of this nature just stall the engine instead of turning it off and on restart it stays in the same mode just saying
@BlueADV214 Ай бұрын
It should stay in the settings I control it to and stay that way until I change it again; I don’t need or want my bike to think for me. And it seems to be lost somewhere in translation/experience… I’m NOT talking about stopping the engine, I’m talking about turning the ignition off and back on.
@markneville5235 Ай бұрын
Hey matey, You talked about the rider mode needs to be changed when you stop the bike to get it back to what you charged it to , well apparently if you stall the bike in the mode that your in then when you restart it it will stay in that mode , I hope this helps , Mark.
@BlueADV214 Ай бұрын
I wasn’t talking about stalling the bike. I talked about when the ignition (key) is cycled off/on as well as having to stop the bike to switch between On/Off-Road modes. I’ll admit, you can hold the mode switch down when in an Off-Road mode and set the bike to Road mode, but not the other way around. Disclaimer: I no longer own this bike and may not be aware of any changes to new models.

I got stuck once in a similar situation once and needed assistance extracting. It the midst of all the frustration and analyzing I now believe it is possible I might not have had the bike in Off Road Pro mode after stalling the first time (This was over 1 year ago so the details are blurry). When I zoom in on your TFT screen during your third attempt it looks to me like you might be in Street Mode… Do you recall selecting Off Road mode after stalling if you switched the ignition off? Just curious… Bruce
@BlueADV214 2 ай бұрын
I don’t recall, but that was one of my big complaints about the Tiger, and I’ve heard others complain about it too. The ridiculous switch back to street after cycling the ignition makes the probability of making a bad situation worse. Doesn’t matter anymore though, I sold the bike and got a KTM 500

It’s a struggle only having one bike, but being able to ride single track and enduro like terrain before all I can do is drag massive amounts of gear down a fire road or to a coffee shop… that’s the important part to me.

There is no possible way to measure exhaust valve clearances with stright gap gauge. I ended up doing the service myself, and i assure you, that friction and tension of the straight gap gauge inserted into exhaust valve clearance with some angle, will cause incorrect values result. You need curved gap gauges. Also, please remember to oil your o-rings, especially the one in chain tensioner. I just wasted the new one because i didn't do it. That's probably the basic knowledge that every mechanic have, but i guess the audience of this video are people like me, that are not experienced, and missing information like that may result in job failure.

@BlueADV214 3 ай бұрын
Sorry, I don't know the diameter of the tool. As to the bushings, they only need to be replaced if worn beyond a certain point... but having to leave the fork apart while you order them isn't ideal, and having them just in case is also sort of a waste when they are so cheap and the fork is already apart. In my opinion, I would just make replacing them a part of the fork refresh, especially if I planned on keeping the motorcycle.
