Exterior Lighting · at 7,000 miles · reported Sep 2, 2012
The low beam is very dim and appears foggy inside the lens. It appears the reflector behind the lamp is loosing its ability to reflect the light onto the road. The headlight is defective. Bottom line: the light pattern on the road is almost nonexistent. It is dangerous to ride the bike at night. The rider cannot see the road in the dark. The factory headlight is definitely defective.

On day 2 of ownership of a brand my new 2008 tiger 1050 ABS, I was riding in the rain. Upon stopping at a stop light there was smoke coming up from the radiator which fogged up my helmet windscreen, my mirrors, the instrument panel and windshield. This persisted and caused dangerous driving conditions. Along with the smoke was a noxious odor. I took the bike back to the dealership and could not replicate the problem on a non-rainy day. This happened many times over the next year, every time it rained. I finally got it to do it for the shop and they said they have never smelled a smell like…

Engine and Engine Cooling · at 2,312 miles · reported Feb 17, 2011
My triumph tiger 1050 overheated many times in traffic. The bike would go from 6-9 on the temp gauge very quickly and the overheating warning light would come on. I pulled over to let it cool down and after 15 min or so I would start again and it would take only a few minutes to overheat again. Then I noticed the coolant reserve was boiling and the coolant blew all over the ground. I discovered the cooling fan was not working and checked the fuses. The fan fuse was blown and I replaced it. It would only take about 15 min in traffic for the fuse to blow again and result in overheating. This…

After picking my triumph tiger 1050 from corsa motorsports in nyc for a overheating repair, which all they did was replace a fan fuse, my motorcycle continued to overheat and blow approx 8-10 fuses throughout the day until I could get it back to the dealership that afternoon. I was left stranded on major highways with no shoulder in rush hour traffic while I waited for the bike to cool down. The bike would overheat 5 min after it cooled down and the overheating warning light went off. It blew coolant out from below the bike a few times. I took the bike back to the dealership and they had the…
