    Have an issue with my Tiger 2013 model
    I need help from all of you guys my bike has been to two Triumph main dealerships and despite spending over £800 in repair bills ( new brake levers ( don't even ask !!!) and tank clean x2 ) the overrevving /hunting problem is still there
    1 it over revs really badly between 2 and 4 thousand revs
    2 the issue happens when cold or hot and it is intermittent
    3 feels like water in the fuel but the tank has been drained twice and no change
    4 additive has been added to disperse water also not any better
    5 when I pull the clutch in to change gear it overrevs momentarily
    6 last service was done at 14000 miles for shims

    Probably not these but simple stuff first.
    Throttle cable issue, too tight, badly routed, sticking, twist grip sticking.? Do you have slack in the cable, should be 1 or 2 millimetres free play?
    On my bike I would be checking the 3 vacuum pipes to injectors but don't know if you have these.

    Yes all good tips here. Also make sure the springs levers and gubbings are oiled up. Check for leaks. Welcome to the family aswel.
