2013 Triumph Tiger 800 Overview

For 2013, Triumph offers the Tiger 800 as an enduro / off-road motorcycle with 799 cc on tap. The 2013 Triumph Tiger 800 is built around a Four stroke, transverse three cylinder, DOHC, 4 valve per cylinder engine, a compression ratio of 12.0:1. Out on the road, the Tiger 800 delivers 69.1 kW @ 9300 rpm of peak power and 79 Nm @ 7850 rpm of torque. In everyday use, the 2013 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. Every technical detail, from suspension travel to tyre sizes, is covered in the full 2013 Triumph Tiger 800 spec sheet below.

2013 Tiger 800 - Pros & Cons

Strengths

  • Strong power output: Peak output on the Tiger 800 is 69.1 kW @ 9300 rpm and 79 Nm @ 7850 rpm of torque - strong numbers for what it is.
  • Fuel injection: No choke, no jetting, no altitude compensation to think about - fuel injection just works across a wider range of conditions than carburetion.
  • Large fuel range: With a 18.9-litre tank, this isn't a bike you'll be stopping for fuel every hour - a real asset on longer trips.

Considerations

  • Chain final drive upkeep: A chain drivetrain is the most common setup in its class, but it's also the one that demands the most regular hands-on maintenance.

Wear Points & Servicing Notes

Cooling system servicing

With Liquid cooled, thermal management is largely automatic, but the coolant has a service life of its own - replace it on the manufacturer's interval to protect the water passages and thermostat.

Fuelling & injector care

Fuelling on the Tiger 800 comes from Multipoint sequential electronic fuel injection. Cold starts and throttle response stay consistent across altitude and temperature, the main practical edge over a carbureted equivalent.

Brake disc and pad wear

2 x 308 mm Floating discs, Nissin 2-piston floating caliper (ABS available), Nissin master cylinder, 14mm diameter up front provides the primary stopping power; inspect disc thickness and pad wear at each tyre change to catch scoring before it becomes a rotor replacement.

Suspension condition on used examples

Suspension duties are handled by Showa 45mm upside down forks up front and Showa monoshock with remote oil reservoir, hydraulically adjustable preload, rebound damping adjustment at the rear. Weeping fork seals aren't a dealbreaker on a used bike, but they're a fair basis for negotiating price.

Final drive maintenance

Chain final drive on the Tiger 800 means routine lubing and tension checks are part of ownership - skip them and sprocket wear accelerates noticeably.

Frame & chassis check

The Tubular steel trellis frame. Swingarm: twin-sided, cast aluminum alloy wheels chassis holds up well with normal use; on a used bike it's still worth checking the head-stock and swingarm pivot area for impact damage or corrosion.

Tiger 800 - Buying & Maintenance Guide

What to check before buying

A pre-purchase check on the 2013 Triumph Tiger 800 should cover the same ground every time: service history, chain and sprocket condition, and any oil seepage around the casings. Start it from cold if you can - a well-kept Tiger 800 settles to a smooth idle within seconds.

Oil and filter changes

Oil changes are the cheapest insurance you can buy for a Tiger 800's engine - keep to the manufacturer's interval rather than stretching it. Use the viscosity grade the manual specifies, not whatever's on sale.

Fuel system care

Injector systems like the Tiger 800's hold up well with basic care - decent fuel, an occasional cleaner additive, and draining old fuel before any layup longer than three months.
