Dead Tiger 900 GT Pro

[Deano]

Hi all, a mate of mine has a 2019 Tiger 900 GT Pro that has decided to play dead, after never having played up previously.

Turning the ignition switch to the on position brings nothing on at all, despite the battery having been charged & showing a healthy 12.6 volts. After removing the ignition switch I was able to confirm that there was voltage up to the switch & on the other contact when the key was turned, proving that the switch was good. The immobilizer antenna coil that fits around the switch was then tested & this measured approximately 10 Ohms resistance. Does anybody know if this figure is correct vs factory spec for the part? Failing this, does anybody have any other suggestions as to where else to look? All obvious checks, such as trying the spare key, fuses, tightness of connectors & a good earth to the frame etc have shown no issues. But whatever the problem is, it's something that's common to the whole bike as it's totally dead apart from an occasional red blink on the bottom left of the display.

Any help is very much appreciated.! Thank you.

Triumph do seem to like hiding the fuses. This video may be helpful;

Thanks for that, much appreciated. We had already checked the master fuse under the battery & it was good, so the search for the problem continues...

On the air cooled modern Bonneville line, there is a large crimped metal ground fitting connecting several wires together. It sits in a fat cable bundle bending around the steering head, hidden by the fuel tank. It gets some flexing by way of turning front wheel, as cables move from headlight assembly etc. The crimp likes to fail from cracking and or corrosion and gives strange problems as it does. Hard to access as insulation etc needs to be cut away. Some fix by loading with solder rather than attempting harness renewal.

Might be something similar on the tiger. Need to research on TRat forums.

That’s certainly worth a look, thank you.!

Sounds like theyre just like the old ones .

Restoring a WIRING LOOM , I armour all all the wires , if I get the chance .
PaRENTLY PLASTICS GOT A MOISTURE COUNTENT REQUIREMENT ( AND nYLON )

anyway , it rejuvinates the flexability of the WIRES , like wotcher want there , at the steering head .
Anyone , nincompoop or not , should CRC 666 ( ARGGH ) the conectors . ALL of them , or use similar
Moisture Dis[placement & corrosion inhibitors . Tickly on a computerised sod .

Soundls like you need a continuity meter . The old battery & lightbulb on a long wire ,
to see if both ends connect .

Dump the key hole full of WD 40 too , like hinges , they NEED MAINTANCE . Tho theyd rather sell you a new one .
" Sorry , we dont have those . Can we sell you a new motorbike " .

My tiger is fixed,
Symptoms- dead bike! no screen when the ignition was turned on, 12.8volt at the battery
Fix
Check the ignition wiring under the righthand side of the fuel tank, look for a grey connector with four wires coming out of it and check for damage on the blue and white wire. It’s the voltage/power for the ignition switch, on my bike it looks like the wire had been damaged and moisture had got in causing corrosion and eventually the wire had broken down to only a few strands leaving the ignition with only 2.4volts getting to it which was enough to power the immobiliser led in the bottom righthand corner of the dash but no power anything else! I cut out the corroded wire and soldered in a new piece and the bike fired straight up and is now fixed!
Make sure you peel back the loom tape and throughly inspect the wires for damage and it was quite easy to over look it!! Also it’s a tank off just unfortunately.
I hope this helps anyone on here looking for answers!

Thank you closing the loop. Valuable information.
