I Brought a WRITTEN OFF Triumph Tiger 1050 Sport

I brought this 2016 Triumph Tiger Sport 1050 from Copart as a category N. we take a further look at why it was written off, give it a wash and start stripping the front end to see if there is any hidden damage.

Cool vid Dan 🙌

Good choice. I have the exact same bike, same colour,same year and I love it. I would strongly advise you to change the front springs for stronger ones. Triumph installed way to light springs , even for light riders, they are not OK. The static sag ( without rider ) is already 60mm (of total 140mm). You can set preload and damping all day long, it just doesn't work. I installed hyperpro 9N/mm lineair frontsprings and it changed the bike into a well handling sportbike. I measured around 0.611kg/mm on the OEM springs....not good. Changing just springs is cheap ( If you manage to do it yourself) but makes a world of difference. Depending on your weight, the rear spring will be fine. If you way over 90kg (without gear) , another rearspring may be advisable. However, on the Tiger sport, the frontsprings are the real culprit of bad handling

yeah I see this question always popping up on forums about stiffening up the suspension, the best comment was someone said they felt sea sick. I'm keeping the bike stock for now until I get it back on the road, then will be doing upgrades. I know its a bit more work for me in the long run but would be good to do a comparison video on this issue with the suspension

Também tenho uma aqui no Brasil, gosto muito.

[@brandon2103]

Mint video bro, subscribed! Once its complete, I dont suppose you could do a walk through the process of getting bike from copart, I'm tempted but it seems a lot of faff, any insight would be appreciated! Looking forward to the next one!

[@DGMotorcycles]

Top man, appreciate it. Yeah In the next part I’ll run through the process of buying through copart and cost as there’s quite a bit of taxes added.

[@brandon2103]

​@@DGMotorcycles Cheers mate, do you have an idea of what your upload schedule is going to be yet? or just as and when as you're channel is just getting going! I think you'll do well on here, good content, good in front of a camera, best of luck with it!

The motto 'Sero, Sed Serio' is inscribed on the portrait and translates as 'late but in earnest'. Scottish clan mate

[@DGMotorcycles]

Legend👍🏻, I suppose that makes sense as I believe the bike was owned by someone up or around Scotland way.

17:57 - it's actually looking like an Aprilia Tuono fighter V2

Ive bought a few cat N bikes over the last few years, they can be great value. Unfortunately, a lot of people are very afraid of touching them when you go to sell them on.

[@DGMotorcycles]

yeah that's the biggest downside is trying to sell them on, very limited as lots of people want the clean title.

Part 2?

[@andrewpalashewsky2150]

WRITTEN OFF, man, WRITTEN OFF.

[@jamesperrin5691]

what did you pay for it fella?

[@DGMotorcycles]

With all the fees and taxes plus delivery cost me £3647. I will do a full breakdown of cost once I have finished and got her back on the road. As I have a couple parts to buy still.
