Hey all,
Please don't shoot me down in flames, as this is my first post here and I have only just picked up my Tiger 800 XC.
I purchased it second hand, it has 3500 miles on the clock and the service record shows it had its first break-in service at 500miles.
Since picking it up I have been loving it, but the engine is REALLY loud. I know the whine is that triple at work, so am not worried about that part of the noise. The loudness I am referring to is the general engine noise itself seems excessive. Is this something I should worry about, or is it normal......it pretty much dominates even over the Arrow Exhaust note when standing at traffic lights.
Just to reference this, I had a 2008 Suzuki GSXR750 previously, so that is my point of reference.
I hope that I am just worrying for no particular reason and that its normal, but having never had a Triumph or an adventure bike before, I thought it was worth a post.
Thanks,
Rob
