I feel like I have sinned. I have not used my Tiger for about 2 months possibly longer, can I be forgiven for this!!!!!

My question is that as it is about a couple of months since I have used her and she is stored outside but covered I want to know if there are any particular areas I should check other thank brakes, lights etc?

Looking forward to getting back on her after getting some extra parts painted and fitted soon hopefully!!

:evil: 2 months out of the saddle its you that needs checking not the Tiger. No seriously check the lot m8 if its been stood outside. Check tyre pressures they will be way down. :hammer:

You should be good to go.

Ditto BaldEagle's comment on Tyre pressure.

I presume it started up right-off - heh?

I heard the UK was getting cold weather and snow.

Have a safe and enjoyable ride!

I am considering some sort of therapy to resolve the withdrawal symptons I am having!!

!!

Other than trye pressures which I tend to check before most just to check they are ok as had problems on previous bike.

Other than that if she starts and the lights and brakes etc are fine and quick check she should be ok I take it?

there is nothing specific I should do?

just ride her hard for a while to blow the cobwebs away

Make sure the battery is fully charged or you risk jamming the starter motor.

You might find the plugs have a build up of condensation with sitting outside, especially with the weather here in the UK. It is a known problem with the Triumph engine.

In any case, shame on you ya eedjit for leaving the poor beastie unused and unloved for so long. :-D

Well I started her up and bless her she started straight away :wink: oh and I did charge the battery first.

I have just got to sort the chain guard/rear hugger and off I go will ride her continuously if I can to show her she's loved.

I have also managed to re-fit the radiator and oil guards after having them resprayed to Lucifer orange, and took a photo as I thought they looked really good.

Will have to post them on here any advice on that?
