    I just purchased a Tiger 900 GT Pro and having trouble maneuvering the TFT screen. I have read the manual numerous times but seem to always run into a road block. Can anybody help? Some of my questions: how to select one of the four screens, getting tachometer to show numerically instead of the graph, visual tray, information tray, rider only mode.

    Not sure how many people have been able to buy a 900 yet. My local dealer didn't even have them in the showroom the week before lockdown.

    There are a number of 900 GT pros and 900 Rally pros on the west coast.

    Looking at the manual you get 4 different templates but it didn’t really show how to change the odometer. Did you look at this ? Not sure it shows it tho

    I figured out the TFT screen to solve my dilemma. When starting up the bike and the screen first appears you must push toggle switch up or down to do where you want. I did that and got the screen display I wanted and also got the rpm's to show numerically. The manual should have said that.

    You read the manual? Call yourself a man? Unless you’re a woman of course, then carry on, well, unless you identify as one.....oh hell!!! Glad you got it sorted

    I bought my first motorcycle in 16+ years ago 2 weeks ago, a 2018 Speedmaster. So thrilled to be back to riding, and quickly a Triumph fan. I seriously think a Tiger 900 GT Pro will be #2 in the hopefully not far off future.

    I purchased my Tiger 900 GT Pro a couple weeks ago and thoroughly enjoy it. This will be my 3rd Tiger and it is by far the best. Wish more people had one so the forums would have some Tiger 900 posts.

    I'm sure more people would like one but we have the slight issue in that our Triumph dealers are all closed! :D
