Then connect the switch harness to the sub-harness. Put that on the little plastic tang on the side of the radiator. That connector has a rubber surround to mount the relay. Put the relay into its connector on the sub-harness (it only fits one of them). Grab the relay and the sub-harness from the fog light kit. The connector at the end should end up in the area of the right side of the radiator. Run the cable from the fog light switch down and to the right, following the clutch cable.

Then tighten up the bolts (top one first). Mirror mount -> spacers -> fog light switch bracket -> heated grip switch bracket (if you have it) -> bolts. It should go like this, from the bar out:

Install the spacers, switch bracket, and new bolts from the kit. If you already had the heated grips, as I did, you don't need the hardware included with the kit. Don't let the mirror fall to the ground! If you had the stock allen bolts there, you will be replacing them with new bolts from the kit. Remove the bolts that clamp the clutch lever to the bar. Dig out the fog light switch and the switch bracket, then use the tiny allen screws to secure the bracket to the switch, like so: Dropping it would be a roughly $900 mistake, so be careful. Now carefully pull the tank to the rear to disengage it from the lugs on the frame, then lift it off the bike and set it down somewhere on a soft surface where it won't get scratched. Just squeeze the end of the connectors and pull down. Also undo the two electrical connectors, one black and one orange (one is power for the fuel pump, one is for the fuel gauge). Some fuel will dribble out of the hose but the spigot from the tank is self-sealing. Squeeze those together and slide the black part off the spigot. That then exposes the two squeeze tabs on the black part of the connector. There is an orange safety lock on the connector which you have to slide out of the way. The fuel connector is a quick-release type. Next you need to remove the fuel and electrical connectors. They are different sizes so you don't have to worry about them getting mixed up later. Now you want to ease the fuel tank to the rear a bit, then tilt it upward at the rear so you can access the fuel and electrical connections on the bottom of the tank. They are located on the sides of the fuel tank and have 12mm heads. Now you undo the two bolts that secure the fuel tank to the frame. Then just slide the panel to the rear to remove it. There is a single screw for each one, located near the battery.

Next you need to remove the fuel tank infill panels (the ones that say 800 on them). Then the whole panel slides off the bike toward the front. Then you gently pull the rear edges apart to disengage a tab that fits under the piece of trim behind the ignition switch. The screws under the headlight have nuts on the back of them so get a 10mm wrench in there to undo the screws. Then two screws at the front, just under the headlight. There are two screws to undo at the rear: This is the plastic bit that goes from under the headlight back under the bars to the top of the tank. Next you need to remove the cockpit panel.

Now the only thing holding the panel on is the turn signal wiring, so pull the plugs apart and then set the panel aside. Triumph calls these the lower radiator infill panels. I thought in going to the Tiger 800 from the 1050 I'd be reducing the amount of plastic crap that has to come off to remove the tank, but it turns out it's about the same.įirst, get behind the front wheel and remove the two screws in each of the plastic panels on either side of the radiator. Now you gotta start removing all the plastic crap in order to get the tank off. Since the fog lights are on a switched circuit and won't operate unless the key is on, I didn't bother. Triumph says to disconnect the battery so do that if you want.

Also, a caveat: installing these lights will add a few steps every time you need to take the tank off from here on out.Įven if you're not installing the fog lights, this should be helpful in learning how to remove the tank.ģ/8" drive ratchet with various extensionsįirst up, put your key in the lock under the taillight and remove both the passenger and rider's seats.
