Triumph Tiger 1200 - Fuel Tank Removal, Air Filter Change and Throttle Body Balancing

In this video, I do a 16,000 km service on my 2018 Triumph Tiger 1200 XRx. I walk through the entire procedure of removing the fuel tank and body panels, followed by an air filter change and throttle body balancing. I already have a video showing an oil and oil filter change, which you can watch here: • Triumph Tiger 1200 - E...

Karthik, Just too good, Nice to see you helping the Bike Enthusiasts for good maintenance of their Bikes Keep up the good work Karthik 👌🌻🙏🌷

Excellent video , perhaps worth mentioning that you should check the necessity for throttlebody balancing before removing the compleet airbox. Keep the video's coming !!

[@eazyontwowheels]

You’re right! I might make a video just focusing on throttle body balancing when I do my 32,000km servicing in a couple months time!

[@senthilnathan9184]

Too good Karthik, Keep up the good work, 👌👏🌹

Great video, I have a 2015 tiger explorer. Not much out there showing the how to from step 1 to end and back.

Great reference video, thanks.

[@bedevere007]

Love your videos

[@eazyontwowheels]

Thank you 🙏🏽 I’m in the process of doing my valve clearance and a few other things. Will post those videos up soon!

[@milesdavis8665]

Thanks for this video. Maybe when it's time you can make one on how to do valve checks and adjustments. Thanks 😊

[@eazyontwowheels]

Oh absolutely, I’ll be doing my 32,000 km service in a few months time. Valve clearance and camshaft timing. Look out for that video :)

[@PhilStonewallTiger]

Hi from Belgium 😁 very nice and explicit video !! Crazy work for change air filter 🙈 mine is a XRT '16 😊

[@milesdavis8665]

@@eazyontwowheels I sure will. Thanks

[@jpacadventures]

Great video. I am going to replace air filter and spark plugs on mine Tiger soon. Do you need to disconnected the battery before disconnecting and removing the tank or that does not matter?

[@eazyontwowheels]

Thanks! I’ve got videos for those too :) I’ve never disconnected the battery unless I’m wiring up electrical accessories and everything’s been fine so far 😅

I was able to purchase the fuel line connector you linked in the description. I have a 2017 explorer. Any more insight on how to connect to the fuel rail? Thank you for all the videos.

[@eazyontwowheels]

Nice! I assume you're referring to part #3 in the description above (the 1/4"rubber hose with the 5/16" fuel line coupler)? The only reason you need that is because you'll need to run the engine with the tank off the bike to have access to the throttle bodies to balance them and the fuel line on the bike is not long enough. So it just serves as an extension to the fuel line. So you'll just need to connect one end of the rubber hose with the male fuel coupler to the fuel line of the bike (this should be the female connector that was originally connected to the tank). And then connect the other end of the hose with the female fuel coupler to the tank. Hope this makes sense :)

Hi, I recently bought a 2012 Explorer. The motorcycle wouldn't start for whatever reason. I have been going through the fuel hoses carefully as it was leaking fuel. I am curious to know where the fuel rail goes to. Would you or anybody here be able to help me out?

[@eazyontwowheels]

Oh it could be a whole range of issues: 1) do you hear the fuel pump priming? 2) do you hear the click sound from the starter solenoid? 3) starter motor issue 4) fueling issues (if not fuel pump, then could be dirty/faulty fuel injectors? 5) could be a weak battery? The fuel rail is connected to the fuel tank on one end, and to the 3 fuel injectors on the other end at the throttle bodies area.

I would recommend not using a torque wrench to loosen fasteners. 23:25

[@eazyontwowheels]

Lol. I agree. Got lazy for a minute :)

[@stevek4449]

What should one expect to pay dealer to change air filter?

[@eazyontwowheels]

For only an air filter change, I think an experienced mechanic can do it in an hour, maybe an hour and half. So whatever labor costs where you live for 1-1.5 hours plus the cost of an air filter which should be less than 20 bucks

@@eazyontwowheels awesome thanks.any drive shaft spline lube issues like BMW sometimes has or are there zirks to insert needed grease?

[@eazyontwowheels]

@@stevek4449 nah I don’t think so. Pretty much maintenance free.
