In the car biz we called them drive cycles. A drive cycle = starting the vehicle, driving it until the parameters/operating conditions are reached that conform to that particular OBDII test, and successful completion of the test. Usually two successful tests of a particular system would clear the code (and the light), but a historic code would remain in memory and could be retrieved with the scan tool. An example of this would a gas cap left loose on a car. When the operating conditions are met for an EVAP system test (steady throttle for x seconds, coolant temp sensor reading operating temperature, etc.,) the ecm applies engine vacuum to the fuel system and watches the feedback from the pressure sensor. Since the gas cap is loose the system never holds a vacuum, the test fails, and a fault is stored. Some faults are "two trip" faults, meaning two failures of the test must occur to record a fault and turn on the check engine light, while more critical items can be a single fault failure. In this example, the owner figures out they left the gas cap loose the next time they stop for fuel, they properly tighten the gas cap, and after two successful completions of the EVAP test the light goes out and all is well. If the T800 is indeed OBDII compliant the same criteria should apply concerning a fault causing a code to set, and successful completion of tests causing the light to go out. But there should still be a historic code. The nature of what it takes to set the code (1 trip or drive cycle versus 2) is dependent on the failure being detected (critical or not). Hope that helps!
Parts currently on order. They will call me when they come in, and I will get it done as soon as they have an opening. Not something to put off, IMO.
Had mine done just last weekend at the 12K service. Along with a new centerstand and a waterpump hose.
Which hose and why the replacement - one of mine leaks a tiny little bit no matter how tight the clamp is.
Yes, just this past Saturday. I dropped my bike off for a few hours. I think it took them about an hour to do. Slightly higher shift effort but better engagement. Is seems like I felt my original shifter getting a bit sloppy. Anyway, I think its an improvement. For those that don't know this was mainly for earlier bikes I believe. This might have been the first time I've ever had to take any of my motorcycles anywhere to have work done.
SB 439 for VIN's 466334 thru 501587. This is for a new shifter return spring. Triumph is not sending out letters & dealers act like they don't want to mess with this unless you have a problem. If you call them & let them know that you know, then they'll do the recall.
Got the code read. P0500 speed sensor malfunction. Can somebody please see what the service manual says about it? I cleared the code and I'll check back in later today to see if it faults again. Needless to say, im happy its not major being this far from home. Vacation continues! On to Yosemite!
Do you have ABS? If you do have ABS, then make sure the rings are clean. If you don't have ABS, then it's a sensor inside the transmission.
To be honest, I don't know which hose or why it was replaced. My bike was in to fix some stepper motor issues (poor idle/no idle), and to get the 12K service done. Since they had the bike a few days, they did all the outstanding recall issues-- centerstand, gear spring, and waterpump hose. Senior tech said the new hose looked exactly the same as the old hose. I had no issues with my waterpump (that I'm aware of), or with the gearshift. Although I did notice that the new spring seems to be a bit stiffer when changing gears initially. I think it is smoothing out a bit with use. ...ok...just found this link. Looks like it is for the water pump outlet hose. http://www.triumphtalk.com/showthre...ger-800-ABS-Tiger-800-XC-and-tiger-800-XC-ABS
Decided to get out of the house on a whim last Sunday. Ended up putting around central Florida front and back roads to the tune of about 300+ miles - even swung by Epcot for a pretzel and a beer from Germany (I have a season pass). Couldn't dream of doing that on my DRZ or CRF! Bike performed flawlessly - even through some nasty weather. Me on the other hand, needs some work. I ride every day, but we're only talking 5 mile commutes. After an hour or two on the Tiger, my right wrist would get pretty sore. Guess I need to condition it and maybe look into a throttle lock? Butt would get pretty sore, but I was able to move it around and keep it awake. May look into some different wind screen options. Stock wasn't too bad, but if I stuck my head down a little lower, it was like heaven down there (I'm not that tall at 5'8")! I definitely need a lighter jacket... It was probably in the mid 90's with high humidity, and I was pretty miserable in my Alpinestars black leather jacket. Was wearing full gauntlet roadrace gloves too, which didn't help with the heat... Very happy with my purchase so far! Now I need someone to buy my DRZ so I can afford some farkles :-D
Not yet, though the parts are in. My dealer has done one other though and says it's not a quick job -- whole clutch basket needs to come out, etc. --mark
Now that you mention farkles, I remember a thread awhile ago where you picked up some Givi pannier racks. Been shopping around for some but can't find any around the ballpark figure that you paid. Do you remember where you got yours? Thanks....T
The triumph documentation with spring kit allows 1.5 hours for this job per my dealer. He showed me the parts that had to be replaced.
Yes.. by far the cheapest I found was from http://www.cli-maxridinggear.com/servlet/the-2496/Givi-Triumph-Mounting-Hardware/Detail , BUT it looks like they *just* raised prices If you add it to your cart (PLR6401), it's now $189 + $15 shipping. Still a decent deal from what I remember, but they did have them at like $130 shipped - which I'm not sure how they did since that is by far a butt load cheaper than anyone else! I will say that while I received a bum part (manufacturing defect) in the kit, Cli-MAX has been working with Givi to rectify the situation - and I feel confident they'll follow through. Will update when it happens.
ABS. Our theory is, I had such a desparity between the front and rear wheel speeds that it faulted the computer. Was having a bit too much fun yesterday. Thanks for your help guys. The fault hasn't come back, and i think it was fun induced.
