What to check before buying
Before handing over money for a used 2016 Triumph Tiger 800 XRx, cover the fundamentals: service book and oil change history, chain and sprocket wear, and any sign of oil weeping around the casings.

Oil and filter changes
Nothing protects a Tiger 800 XRx's engine like disciplined oil changes - stay on the manufacturer's schedule (roughly every 6,000 km or annually). Match the viscosity grade to what the owner's manual specifies, not what's cheapest.
Fuel system care
Fuel injection on the Tiger 800 XRx needs little attention beyond decent fuel and an occasional system-cleaner additive. Anything left standing for three months or more should have its fuel drained and replaced before it varnishes the injectors.
