Be aware of the plastic spigots on the tank the fuel connectors feed from. They snap easily,why not replace them with the metal equivilent from here ( they may have been replaced by the P O.

To my knowledge, maybe someone will confirm this?

 

Yes Daniel, that’s the right part number that @Sprinter has linked to. Just check how many you need. I believe the 2nd gen bikes changed to a single fuel line at some point, so you may only need one, not two fittings like my 2001MY. Hopefully your bike will already have the metal hose fittings, just be aware that these don’t have a valve in them like the tank fittings so you’ll get some fuel spillage on disconnection.

It’s worth getting some spare O rings before you start the job. The ones here are the ones you want https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Triumph-TIGER-955I-124106-198874-10-X-Fuel-Line-O-Ring-ORing-NEW-T1240181/231970069311?_trkparms=aid=111001&algo=REC.SEED&ao=1&asc=20160908105057&meid=5a1ebfacda10491bbb6bae4aae07c990&pid=100675&rk=1&rkt=15&sd=231970069311&itm=231970069311&pg=2481888&_trksid=p2481888.c100675.m4236&_trkparms=pageci:001c4401-acae-11e9-971b-74dbd180b547|parentrq:1aede3a416c0a9e8a24cd315ff5e6d51|iid:1
I’ve never had one leak but they are easily damaged.
I’ve found that if you hold in the release tab all the way while inserting or removing the hose you’re less likely to nick the O ring.

I’m afraid I can’t help with the throttle cables, I’ve not done one of the twin cable bikes.

 

The male fitting which is on the hose to the fuel rail should already be a metal one.
There was a recall by Triumph on the older bikes to replace the plastic fittings because of breakage, but they only did a half arsed job by replacing the male fittings for metal but not the tank ones.
I suspect from the age of your bike that you should already have the metal male fittings fitted from the factory.

 

I’ve always found those lubricator things rubbish.
For the price of them, I’d just put a new cable on. Newer ones are often Teflon lined so shouldn’t need lubricating if they’re routed correctly.

 

Hi Daniel , when you do the throttle cabling , adjust the return / close cable first ! Adjust it so there is little to no movement in fully closed position. Then you should adjust opening / accelerating cable with as little to no movement as possible. You do it this way round so throttle cabling will allow the return springs on the carburetors/throttle bodies to fully return to closed position. Then you can get idle adjustment right !

Did the cables on my 1994 Trident. The acceleration cable frayed and was staying partially open , sometimes at over halt throttle ! Luckily there's that return / closing cable !! It can n really save your bacon !
