SOURCE: tiger triumph 2008 brand new wont start... help

ok
you have a problem with the starter not turning the engine. so we probily not sending a signal to the starter.
you realy confused me when you started talking about gas and choke?
if the engine doesnt turn over none of this even matters.

these new bikes have many safety features .
you have a sensor for netural and you have a sensor for your kickstand and a sensor for your clutch
and all of these have to be workinf right for your engine to turn over.
so with your kickstand up and the bike in netural and the clutch lever pulled in
it should turn over and start.
when it doesnt you need to check your wiring to the switches one might have come loose.
or could be a bad switch.
let us know what you find

SOURCE: Engine does not start

JUST A SHOT IN THE DARK ON THIS.

TRY DISCONECTING THE POSITIVE POWER CABLE ON YOUR BATTERY,AND WAIT TEN OR TWENTY MIN.THEN PUT THE POSITTIVE BACK ON IT.

SEE IF THAT WILL RESET IT.

HOPE THIS HELPS

SOURCE: Can't start my Triumph tiger 955i 2005

let is sit for a day and dry out. you probably got moisture into the spark plugs, or the distributor, or the wires. if you have a battery charger, charge the battery while you are waiting.

SOURCE: oil leak out of a breather hose

a small amount of oil from the crankcase vent hose under hard acceleration is most likely normal.American bikes don't leak oil,they mark their spot!

First, do you have fuel, and then do you have spark at the plugs. Check the source.

Gas leaks from hose running from tank connected to nothing

i would guess that that is your fuel line and reconnecting it would be a good idea as leaking fuel and motorbike engines dont mix that well and normally result in your bike going up in flames

Tiger triumph 2008 brand new wont start... help

Hi and welcome to FixYa,

If I may suggest:
  • re-charge fully the battery. It may have run down on the previous tries;
  • thereafter, switch IGN to ON and verify pump running felt on the tank;
  • neutral, engine switch ON, IGN switch ON, clutch IN, start.
Just a start, do postback how things turned up or should you need additional information. Good luck and Thank you for using FixYa.
