Totally agree, the odometer should be displayed, at least when turning on or off for a few seconds at least. I am almost finished running my 2024 Explorer in, and its a PITA to keep having to go hunting for the mileage. Apart from that, its an awesome bike.

I have forgiven Triumph for the Odometer issue. The menu on the previous generation was superior and the display was tiltable. Thanks for the comment! 👍

I bought mine a year ago, it was 7 years old and had been ridden only 2,700 KMs. Now approaching 18,000. Yes I ride to burn gas but also go to a shop. That's a round trip of 30 miles. On a narrow backroad, With straights and twists. These well engineered bikes are a lot of fun. I like the low revving motor with enough torque. Its a light bike with excellent handling. I put T120 gearing on it and it lopes along at low revs, 3300 at 65 mph.

How do you like the windshield extension? What model is it and why do you have it so low?

@ttrguy9952 10 ай бұрын

The wind deflector is made by MRA in Germany and it's the X-Creen Sport Universal Mount. It is a "Must Have" and it has been on all my Tigers. It is the best on the market. Because the screen tilts and can be moved up and down, you adjust it to where you want the wind to go. It looks low on my windshield but it is adjusted so the wind is going about a foot over my helmet with the main windshield all the way down. Check out my "Triumph 2023 Tiger 1200 GT Explorer Add Ons" video and it's near the end.

I'm another one that doesn't miss the odo. I don't even think about it. I DO have some dash dislikes though... 1. Display icons move around. Surely with all that acreage they could have put warning/status icons etc in the same place irrespective of display mode? 2. Some of the info is unnecessarily large. e.g. TPMS display is huge. Fuel info is oversized. I tend to just prefer the simple display as too much info on the screen is distracting. In that respect I think it's good that Triumph didn't try to cram too much on the one display.

@ttrguy9952 10 ай бұрын

I'm used to the work around for the ODO now. Yes, the screen moves to the left and squishes to see the TPMS and Fuel status menu but I am also used to that. The display to me is perfect being very nice to read and simple. Thanks for the comment and for watching!
