Great excitement Mark! I love them 1050 Tigers! Always wanted one of them! 😀👍😁

[@marksavage]

i've all the other triumphs so made sense and to be honest even as this was it ran and rode very well take care bud

[@andrewfishy34]

Hi Mark. I had one the same colour (Burnt Orange) cracking bike with an Arrow can and the raspy sound was great. Cant wait to see what you do with it.

[@marksavage]

they are on here bud and worth a watch top man

[@jimbothethimble]

Wishing you some good rides ahead Mark 👍

[@marksavage]

thanks bud yes should really enjoy it once i've sorted it out but to be fair it rode home very well take care bud

[@bm7760]

I picked up the same bike recently for £1,300. Some cosmetics and the need for a thorough service but it runs sweet so I guess that's the main thing. Putting a lowering kit on as I can't flat-foot it.

[@marksavage]

i have done a few videos on lowing bikes on my triumph trophy , it really made a difference bud , enjoy as fun bikes to ride

Had a Speed Triple and that's a great engine in that bike. Look forward to more vids on it.

[@marksavage]

have to love the triumphs as they do have great engines , thanks for watching bud

[@philwatson1178]

Hi Mark just been watching your Tiger 1050 videos. I have my Tiger 14 years now, and managed to cover over 50,000 miles. The bikes not perfect, very tall, heavy and stock luggage not that good. Overall Tiger is 90% the perfect bike, you commute, tour, track day and do the Sunday breakfast run, without any problems. I don’t think I will ever change. Ps enjoyed you videos, Like you, I do all the servicing on the bike unless I have get into the engine.

[@marksavage]

50k wow thats amazing , i'll be looking into all the things that have ben said so will sort it thanks bud

[@pja7]

Hi Mark. Can I ask more specifically what you disliked about the triumph 1200. I love the looks of it and the shaft drive, but I’m also considering the 1050 SE. Prefer shaft drive as there’s a 1 kilometre dusty gravel road to and from my house that I have to use daily here in Spain . Cheers.

[@marksavage]

I say in the 1200 rather than on it lol But I'm only 5 8ish and getting smaller every year it seems !!! I had the 800 and loved them If your taller then the 1200 us great all but a bit heavy ! This 1050 suits me and i enjoy the style and the way it handles bud

[@scotty_beast_rider]

Try black widow Exhausts. Got one on my V-strom and it sounds and looks great... Brackets not the best but it is budget.

[@marksavage]

your the 2nd person to say about them so best i look them up thanks and for watching bud

[@philhart3878]

I’ve got an arrow on mine. Love the sound.

[@marksavage]

will have to see how the bidding goes lol but i will be getting something

[@3647Edd]

Nice choice fella, and the coat matches the bike colour too! Nearly bought one myself a few years back but the engine was such a stormer I knew I’d just ride like a twat everywhere so I made the sensible decision and bought another DL1000 V Strom. It will sound fab with a can too. Love the drone of my V twin with open cans.

[@marksavage]

you know i thought that as i was riding home lol to be fair i know they v stroms are good valve bike but im not a fan of the v twins are a incident with a tl1000 many years ago and a round about at high speed !! but like the multistrada and the gs so maybe i've got more used to how they ride with the engines as i like to drop it down a gear to slow down but found the twins like more brakes than gear down but anyway thanks bud and for watching and take care

[@tims2676]

Seen one the same for sale and it's about 5 grand with low mileage. It looks mint on the pictures though. No luggage but very tempted 🤔

[@redleadervfr-v4906]

Don’t do the arrow it’s too quiet!! Go for an SC Project with baffle that can be removed! But be warned they will run lean with an exhaust with baffle out, tune ECU and a remap is your friend :)

Do Blueflame or Max Torque / Quill do any exhausts for the 1050?

[@philstevens2493]

Hi mate happy to see you still active on here. A quick question what size jet would you recommend for a SF2 100cc with tecnigas exhaust? & what’s the make of the original carb? Can the original carb be upjetted? Thanks!

[@marksavage]

Stick with the sp2 carb but check what you have in there now Most of the time they will run great just with the exhaust change ! But check size in and go up in 4s so buy 2 extra 4 up ie if 84 in get 88 or 92 Sports air filter Should be fine

seating it much better as its more sit up , less power but nothing to moan about to be honest . i rode both and have videos on the st , gt and tiger 800 all worth a watch bud

[@danielsmith8793]

Hi Mark, Have you mentioned the model year of this bike?

[@marksavage]

tiger 1050 2009 bud

[@midvarrasso4900]

Nice mark 👍 how did you find it compares to your sprint st? The Tiger looks to have shorter gearing 18 front 44 rear I think. While the sprint has a 19 front 42 rear, did you find the tiger pulled harder at low revs compared to the sprint? And was it more wheelie happy than the st? I've got a 2006 sprint st. Lovely lovely thing

[@marksavage]

To very different bikes to ride bud All but the name they ride different and feel very different However I enjoyed both but for all year round it has to be the tiger

[@midvarrasso4900]

@@marksavage yeah I think if you could only have one bike the tiger would be perfect.

[@garythompson1629]

Hi Mark I've just brought the same bike ... I'm 5'8" 29/30 inside leg.... I'm a bit worried about it being to tall for me. How easy is it to lower it... the rear seem easy enough but it the front that worriers me ... any hints Cheers Gaz

[@marksavage]

just do the rear bud as you don't need to touch the front , you are the same size as me and i haven't lowered mine as im used to it 1/2" on the rear is 2" as the rear wheel so this will really help bud all in great bikes and enjoy

[@andyhoney7030]

Gary, I have the same bike & I’m exactly the same measurements as you. It does feel a bit tall & top heavy but you get used to it. Anyway, I did lower mine. It’s a simple job. You can get the lowering kit from lust Racing. About £70 last time I looked. I dropped the front forks thru about 12mm too to keep the bike level. There’s plenty info on the Tiger 1050 forum about it. TBH I’m debating putting it back to stock height as I feel it did slightly affect the handling although only very little & could just be me. Possibly a better option although more pricey is have the seat re modelled. You’ll quickly get used to just putting one foot down if you can’t flat foot with both feet, this works for me. Also I don’t try duck walk the bike backwards as this is where your likely to loose footing & drop it, hop off & push it back. Much easier. Anyway ride safe & enjoy this cracking motorcycle

[@abuelofm5]

I owned a 2009 Sprint ST 1050cc and ended up selling it because the heat of the engine went to my legs (specially left side) and was unbearable! Given that you had a Sprint ST, is this anything similar I have been offered one of these bikes, I want it, but the heat issue (if it exists) is holding me back.

[@marksavage]

i had the same with the st bud and its common also with other bikes like the z1000. with this tiger 1050 no bud no heat at all and they are fun bikes to ride, give one a test ride

Mark, i got a nmax 125 and i install a exhaust sc project chinese and the bike lose power. Theres something that i can do? I work all day, and i need to be noticed.

[@marksavage]

this can happen and you may need to have a sports air filter too so you get more air in as you now have more gasses getting out , this should help otherwise a small upjet on the carb they are good exhausts but if this doesn't help you may have to get another exhaust bud

[@emme_brush9119]

Ive got a speedfight 2 and it dosent want to pull away when cold but it works kinda okey wen hot, it starts fine cold and hot but when iam giving it zero thorttle to full trhottle it stutters and lags and then it yakes away. Whats the issue?

So its bogging down? what air filter have you got on, carb. size jet . exhaust, roller weight ? i have many videos on all of this but under tuning etc

[@holdencaulfied7492]

@@marksavage One more thing, I found the Tiger 1050 to be so lean from the factory. Do the pipes, the air box mod (it's simple and makes a huge difference) and reflash the ECU. It'll be like a new bike. Oh, and most bikes the gearing is too tall, this one I found the gearing to actually be too low so added an extra tooth sprocket, also a good improvement. Cheers.
