My New Ride: 01' Tiger 955i.. in pieces. :)

    My New Ride: 01' Tiger 955i.. in pieces. :)

    Just finished removing all the nests! Took her outside for a good rinse. Plugged up and taped up everything important. Doesn't look like any critters nibbled on any of the wires or anything, so I think I'm in the clear. But I still have to double check everything and throw some new lithium grease in all the clips anyway.

    Here she is!











    Here are the super fun nests I had to remove... Notice the charred and gnawed remains of the air filter .





    During removal of the tank I accidentally snapped one of the fuel hose couplers coming from the fuel pump.

    I was able to save the threads on the fuel pump housing using a dremel and pick to remove the threads of the damn coupler. What a dumb idea to use plastic...

    The machines I work on use a similar style connector for fluid supply.

    Indeed, they are a suck.

    You can get metal replacements. Search around on TriumphRat.
