I had the idle issue on a 2012 Tiger 800, the stepper motor that controls idle is exposed on that year and would get dirty and stop working. Eventually out of frustration, I removed the motor and mounted a locking screw hard stop for the idle and it never happened again, unfortunately cold starting was harder but it was a fair trade off. There are many videos explaining how to fix that. Your camera work is very good btw. Enjoyed your Vid.
Thank you for the detailed explanation! I suppose it got quite a bit of dust on it over a few days in the desert. Luckily it didn’t get me stranded. I suppose renting 10 year old motorbikes can be an adventure.
Thank you! I rode this back in January. It’s probably best late fall through early spring. The temperature is going to be the same or very similar to Phoenix.
Looks pretty cool!
Definitely a unique riding experience! I want to find more like it!
Wow I'll have to check this spot out on my triumph!
Enjoy! And watch out for side by sides!
@@AdventurePiggy Will do!

Great video! When did you record this/at what time of the year? What time would be ideal for such a ride, temperature-wise? Cheers :)
