2011 Triumph Tiger 800 Overview

The 2011 Triumph Tiger 800 is an enduro / off-road motorcycle built around 799 cc of displacement. Under the tank sits a Four stroke, transverse three cylinder, DOHC, 4 valve per cylinder engine, a compression ratio of 12.0:1. 2011 Triumph Tiger 800 delivers 69.1 kW @ 9300 rpm of peak power and 79 Nm @ 7850 rpm of torque. From a practical standpoint, the 2011 Tiger 800 tips the scales at 209.6 kg, carries a 18.9-litre fuel tank, offers a seat height of 810 mm -830 mm and spans a 1530 mm wheelbase. That's roughly 10.8 kg heavier than the average enduro / off-road motorcycle in our database.

2011 Tiger 800 - Pros & Cons

Strengths

Strong power output: 2011 Triumph Tiger 800 makes 69.1 kW @ 9300 rpm with 79 Nm @ 7850 rpm of torque - competitive figures for its class.
Fuel injection: The Multipoint sequential electronic fuel injection system delivers crisp throttle response and reliable cold starts regardless of altitude or temperature.
Large fuel range: The 18.9-litre tank is generously sized, translating to extended range between stops - ideal for touring or longer commutes.

Considerations

Chain final drive upkeep: Chain final drive needs regular cleaning, lubrication and tension checks to get full life out of the sprockets.

Wear Points & Servicing Notes

Cooling system servicing

The Liquid cooled system on the Tiger 800 needs a coolant change roughly every two years (or per the service schedule) - skipping it lets the coolant turn acidic and corrode the aluminium water passages over time.

Fuelling & injector care

Fuelling comes from Multipoint sequential electronic fuel injection. Systems like this are largely maintenance-free beyond keeping fuel quality decent and injectors clear - a fuel-system cleaner every service interval is cheap insurance.

Brake disc and pad wear

The 2 x 308 mm Floating discs, Nissin 2-piston floating caliper (ABS available), Nissin master cylinder, 14mm diameter front brake gives strong, progressive stopping power. Disc thickness and pad depth are worth checking at every tyre change, since worn pads can score the disc surface.

Suspension condition on used examples

Up front, the Tiger 800 runs Showa 45mm upside down forks and Showa monoshock with remote oil reservoir, hydraulically adjustable preload, rebound damping adjustment at the rear. On a used example, check fork seals for weeping oil and test the rear linkage for play - seals are a relatively cheap fix but useful when negotiating price.

Final drive maintenance

Final drive is by chain - expect to clean and lube it every few hundred kilometres and check tension regularly; a neglected chain wears the sprockets faster than the chain itself.

Frame & chassis check

The frame is Tubular steel trellis frame. Swingarm: twin-sided, cast aluminum alloy wheels - worth a visual check for corrosion or impact damage around the head-stock and swingarm pivot on any used example, since frame damage is far costlier to fix than any service item.

Tiger 800 - Buying & Maintenance Guide

What to check before buying

When inspecting a used 2011 Triumph Tiger 800, start with the basics: check the service book for oil change frequency, inspect the chain and sprockets for wear, and look for oil seepage around the engine casings and rocker covers. A cold start test is invaluable - a well-maintained Tiger 800 should fire up cleanly and settle to a smooth idle within a few seconds.

Oil and filter changes

Regular oil changes are the single most important maintenance task on any Tiger 800. Stick to the manufacturer's interval - typically every 6,000 km or once a year, whichever comes first. Always use the correct viscosity grade as specified in the owner's manual.

Fuel system care

The Tiger 800's fuel injection system is durable but benefits from quality fuel and the occasional use of a fuel-system cleaner additive. If the bike has been stored for more than three months, drain and replace the fuel to prevent varnish deposits in the injectors.
