Tiger Explorer Tiger 955i

Umm. Are you sure that's not an 885i ?

 

Bike needs to be dead vertical and level.
Run engine. Switch off. Wait ten minutes then check level.
I usually give it best of three checks.
For some reason both my bikes...955i Tiger and 1600 tbird are a pain to get an accurate oil level reading.

 

I have the same bike, it does take about 4 liters of oil, definetly more than 3l.
Maybe the sight glass is not positioned correctly? The original cover does not have a side glass... Id try with the stick-plug, if it has the right length and position you shoul be able to put in 4l (remember to prime the filter).

 

Yep....bike in the photo is STILL not a 955i.

 

Bike IS 955i very early Tiger they didn't go single sided swing arm on the Tiger ! I've got a late 1998 Sprint Executive 885 and that Tiger certainly isn't 885

 

The second generation Hinckley Triumphs were 885 injected - based on the original T300 (like @capt 's Sprint) but fuel injected - so the subject of this thread could very well be an 885i not a 955i.

 

It is an 885. It's got the old sprag clutch arrangement motor with ' Triumph' script on the barrels.
