2008 Triumph Tiger 1050 CCM ABS Electrical system Problems

“Less than 2 hours after picking up my Triumph tiger 1050 from trebour motorcycles and after the shop manager joe reassured me that the bike was in top-notch condition after my over heating and non starting repairs by his shop, the bike started to overheat in traffic. I was on a dangerous road without a shoulder and was luckily on a downgrade. I noticed the coolant in the reserve tank was boiling so I turned the bike off and coasted down the decline. …”

“My Triumph tiger 1050 has been plagued with relentless starting issues and over heating issues. On this day I went out to start the bike and it would not turn over. I tried for a few minutes and it would not start. I eventually took the battery out and hooked it up to a charger to make sure that it was fully charged up. In the coming months I tried multiple times to start the bike with a fully charged battery to no avail. On today feb 17, 2011 I had the bike towed to locomotion motorsports to see what the issue is this time.”

“Around the end of may and beginning of june 2010 my Triumph tiger 1050 would continue to overheat in temps higher than 75 degrees and I would have to pull over to let the bike cool down. On around june 24, 2010 the bike would not start again, and with my recurring over heating issues I had the bike towed to trebour motorcycles. The bike was in their possession for approx 1 month. At which time the shop manager joe could not get the bike to overheat. Although he never test road the bike in the type of conditions that I specified. …”

“My Triumph tiger 1050 would not turn over or start in the morning. I tried to push start it to no avail. The guys at corsa motorsports picked it up that afternoon and had it for repairs for approx 40 days and upon pick up they informed me of what was wrong. They replaced all of the following under warranty: sump gasket (from an earlier problem), sprag clutch, starter motor, bearing needle and respective gaskets. The shop also told me they replaced the dead battery but it was not on the repair order so maybe they just charged it up. …”

“In the morning my Triumph tiger 1050 was having a very hard time starting. It took 15-20 minutes or so to get it to turn over. Once I was able to get it started I took it to corsa motorsports to see what the problem was. Less than 3 months prior the bike would not start and the whole starter system had to be replaced and I thought the battery was replaced too but it was not documented on the work order. The shop checked the charging system of the battery and deemed the battery weak and replaced it under warranty. This was my second starting issue in 4 months.”
