The Auctioned 1050 Tiger Sport RUNS!!!

In this video I finally get the tiger sport back together and running, starts and runs like a dream. although there is a small set back with the leaking fork, I have ordered new seals and upgraded springs. I reckon a few more weeks and this Triumph Tiger 1050 Sport is going to be ready for the road.
P.S apologies about the audio, I was testing out an external mic for future videos to make the audio quality better.

I stumbled across your channel the other day because of the grom video. You should be doing this as a full time jobs soon with the channel growth you've had.

[@Stealhhisdark]

Yes Dan! Can’t wait for a ride out….Jambo got his test in a bit so we can get out and about

[@DGMotorcycles]

Yes she we will back on the road very soon, ready for loads of road trips. Got my fingers crossed for him, he will smash it.

Good Work ! Enjoyed the e content !

Quality work Dan. Useful and informative. I have the same bike (amongst other Tigers, see my channel) and bloody love it. Never had an issue with the softness of the forks though. I've also done the same thing (auction bike +rebuild) with a 660 sport (no vids of that though I'm afraid) and am about to rebuild an 800 XCA. Looking forward to seeing you enjoy it.

Thankyou, il go check out the channel now. yeah the satisfaction of buying a bike that needs some TLC and getting the work done yourself is just awesome. cant wait to get this out for a ride.

@@DGMotorcycles appreciated, couldn't agree more, there's nothing like making something good by your own hand.

[@MJ83MJ]

That engine sounds sweet mate!

[@DGMotorcycles]

Love the sound of the triple 😊

[@raymorris952]

Sounds good, do it a massive favour and stick a fuel system cleaner in the tank.

Think you might have a problem with dip beam, should be working with the engine running, also looks like the centre stand isn't coming up, maybe needs some lube, or there's a spring missing? You seen very keen to replace the fork spring, just wondering which forum you've been on? I'd fix the seals, use the bike and see how you get on, change the springs if you're not OK with the OE set up.

[@DGMotorcycles]

Yeah there’s still a few more steps I have to check and run through. Lots of people on Facebook forums and online forums complaining about how soft the suspension is, I know I should test it out first and find out for myself. But if I’m going to be pulling the forks apart again I might aswell put some stiffer springs in whilst I’m there. The springs are not very expensive.

[@gpzfan5272]

@@DGMotorcycles the guys complaining could all weigh 30st, in which case they would feel soft. Best to find out for yourself first instead of making the front end too stiff, which would be worse than too soft

[@Big_Chicken_Lips]

Im a big lad and dont find them too soft personally. Maybe for the track, not for the "quick" road riding I do@@DGMotorcycles

[@mstead50]

What screen is it? Do you have a link please?

[@DGMotorcycles]

I got it from Facebook market place. It’s a MRA Vario touring screen
