This is absolutely a recall. They have refused to acknowledge this consistent issue.... not limited to just the tigers either. I have a 2017 with this EXACT issue.

Torque setting for the drive gear assembly nut is 54nm. Hellishly tight basically. The other 6 fixings are 3nm. Info straight from my service manual.

That seems like a probable recall situation. Great job getting the alternator back in a very tight space.

Set the nuts and bolts to the German Guttentite standard.

Lucky the bolt got stuck where it did and went no further. Interesting video.

Nice job. Enjoyed the video and RIDE SAFE OUT THERE!

Would like to clarify, you did not have to remove the airbox or throttle bodies to replace this alternator? Plus only the tank cover came off not a case of draining any fuel or coolant at all? My manual states all of the above need removing. Oh okay, just noticed by looking at the parts list that the black dome IS the airbox and not the tank lol. So it would appear that just the fuel tank needs removing.

You need the locking tool in order to torque the center nut correctly. It is a hollow tube that locks into the 33 tooth spline on the clutch on one end, with a hex on the other end. You can then fit a wrench onto the hex to hold onto the clutch while the center nut is torqued.

The same problem with my Tiger Explorer 2015, 30, 000 kms, I think Triumph must change the design for the alternator or change their alternator provider (Japan) for better quality, is a common problem but when you need to change the alternator, the price is extremely expensive compared with the same item for a car

Thank you for this video, very helpful, I don’t need to strip down my clutch or cam covers. I couldn’t get out my alternator on the little hole like you, but I’ll try again tomorrow 😅 I have got a second hand alternator from a low mileage bike for 260 quid, because the new from Triumph crazy expensive 😢 (my one is a 2018 year Explorer with 24k miles)
