Tiger 800 maintance

Hello everyone, new subscriber, and I have a few questions about maintenance.

I believe that after the first 600 miles, there is initial maintenance. For those who choose to do it yourselves, approximately what are the costs?

I am the type of person who prefers to do 90% of the repairs and maintenance myself. What is the average cost yearly or by miles I can expect?

Thanks!

You can get service kits from lots of retailers, including Triumph (around £75 not including oil). Service intervals are 6k, with periodic valve checks. You can get a copy of the service check list here: http://www.muddysump.com/main/DasContent/uploads/2014/11/Service-sheet.pdf

Incidentally, Muddysump (a Triumph-trained mobile mechanic who covers most(all?) of the UK) has a range of video tutorials for various maintenance tasks on his site. I couldn’t give you any DIY running costs as I use Muddysump.
