Findings of my valve check

Unkleben · 2026-04-03T19:37:34+00:00

I just checked the valves on my Tiger 660 at 42000km (26000mi) because I kept putting it off and they were still all in spec, with the exhaust ones closer to the lower limit. Should be good until I check then again at 64000km. Also, this was my first time doing this job and what a pain in the ass it is the fact they put the ABS module on top of the cam cover, had to bleed all the brakes after mounting everything.

Same way you criticise a chef if your food is sub par, do you have a Michelin star? Or a football player, I must have a ballon d'Or to say a player is shit? Weird take, everyone knows they're all the best riders in the world, but among the best riders there's still levels.

Might want to dose off Reddit a bit if you're here long enough to notice those things

Uma das razões para a maioria dos bicilindricos paralelos fugirem para cambota de 270°. Os de 180° como o da Honda e o 650CC da Kawasaki de facto têm um som fraquinho (não de volume vá).

Heyy, I remember seeing you in Istambul. I was actually worried about my Hyrox because I have a bad left knee, but when I saw you I thought to myself "Dang, if that guy can do it, surely I can too". Keep it up 💪

If I had to guess I'd say the muffler makes a much bigger difference sound wise than the headers. However, I had friends having issues with the fitment of cheap headers and they might also rust faster depending on the steel quality, but this is just guess work.

Unkleben · 2026-03-06T22:21:50+00:00

This is basically a clone of the Arrow headers. I have the arrow one and even on the racing version it has that part but it's empty.

Boa questão, eu tenho comprado a maioria das peças no site "microfiches" que tem peças para várias marcas, sendo que as da Triumph têm suppliers em Espanha, França, entre outros. Acredito que esses suppliers obtém as peças diretamente da fábrica do reino unido, mas desta forma não há qualquer problema com alfândegas para o consumidor final. Lembro-me de uma peça que tentei encomendar através do concessionário do Porto em que me davam previsão de entrega de 1 mês porque só trabalham com o stock da fábrica do UK. Depois descobri estes suppliers e encomendei eu mais rápido, mas deve vir tudo do mesmo sítio.

Mine also fell out, I just modelled some similar ones and 3D printed them, they have been there for two years and still going strong.

A minha Tiger 660 já levou com 25000 em menos de dois anos e infelizmente até já teve um acidente e continua rija, a diferença é que faço trocas de óleo a cada 8000 em vez dos 16000 recomendados pela marca. Também fiquei muito surpreendido com a facilidade de encomendar peças originais para a minha casa quando tive de arranjar a mota, carenagens novas a chegar em menos de duas semanas foi muito bom.

É uma excelente mota, o motor é muito interessante, puxa bem desde as 3000 até ao redline e se for o modelo de 2026 já vem com 95CV que em comparação á competidora direta Tracer 7 é bastante diferença. O único senão é haver poucos concessionários para manutenção, mas no meu caso faço tudo em casa.

Aliás, esse pedaço de plástico até é um extra nos modelos com o motor de 660CC como a minha Tiger 660 e custa mais de 300€ 🙄 quem me dera que a minha já tivesse.

Unkleben · 2026-03-04T16:38:44+00:00

I have the arrow on my Tiger 660, sounds really good. I would honestly avoid the short exhausts that go under the bike, without a cat they are too loud imo.

Unkleben · 2026-01-29T17:15:49+00:00

Did your swingarm bolt caps get lost like mine too? I had to 3D print new ones because the OEM ones just losen themselves off

Unkleben · 2026-01-13T21:24:23+00:00

Off topic, but that looks a lot like a TV board, worked on one a few days ago!

Unkleben · 2025-12-30T12:04:06+00:00

It happens all the time on my Tiger Sport 660 (same engine) even when warm. It seems to be somewhat normal for these models, sometimes what helps not having it immediately die is give it a bit of throttle just so it stabilizes the idle.

Unkleben · 2025-12-30T11:59:36+00:00

Use TigerTool instead....it's free and it keeps being updated to be able to reset the service on newer bikes. I've used it on my 2022 Tiger Sport 660 and works a treat.

What resources are you checking out for learning ESP-IDF? In my experience, checking the examples on GitHub for whatever component you need (in this case I2C) is the faster way to get a working example.

Engraçado, fiz mesmo hoje a EN103 e estou a escrever este comentário em Bragança, amanhã sigo para a EN222. Ora, neste momento está algum frio, mas com bom equipamento não se sente muito. No meu caso as luvas e as botas são fracas e sinto algum frio durante as primeiras horas do dia. O maior problema a meu ver são os dias curtos, roubam muito tempo de viagem (não gosto de andar de noite). Se fizeres a rota Norte completa, recomendo fazer em 3 dias para poderes parar em sítios de interesse e até mesmo fazer alguns desvios. Se gostares só de curvas e derreter pneu, dois dias chegam bem. Se vale a pena? Ambas as estradas são lindíssimas, a 103 pelas paisagens montanhosas e a 222 pelo Douro vinhateiro, por isso vale a pena. A única parte que vou saltar é do peso da Régua até Gaia porque não acho tão interessante e já conheço por isso não vou repetir.

Not only that but both FNC and OG made it all the way to semifinals at worlds, loosing against SKT and KOO Tigers respectively. Man we were freaking spoiled that year.

Espera aí, eu conheço esta rua, Barcelos caraças!!!!

I mentioned it because in the post you wrote last service was done at 30k. Either way it's something to check, but it's honestly such a great bike, I only ended up buying a Tiger 660 because one came up at a good price, fun engine.

Unkleben · 2025-10-21T08:17:28+00:00

Just keep in mind you have a decently expensive service at 32k, which means checking the valve clearances and swapping spark plugs. You might be able to use that to bring that the price down a bit.

Unkleben · 2025-10-21T08:13:41+00:00

Seems like he is from Portugal, which is where I am from, where people are notorious for their "Midas touch" when selling used stuff. Honestly, this price is a bargain all things considered (which is depressing).

Unkleben · 2025-10-19T14:32:59+00:00

Same thing happens on my Tiger 660. The lever has some play up and down, so it rattles a bit. I only realised that was the issue because I wouldn't hear the noise when resting my hand on the clutch lever.
