FAQs

Are these fork tubes sold individually or as a pair?

These are typically sold as individual fork tubes. Please check the product listing to confirm if a pair is offered or if you need to order two separate tubes.

Do these fork tubes come with fork seals and oil?

No, these are direct replacement fork tubes only. You will need to purchase fork seals, bushings, and fork oil separately. It is highly recommended to replace seals and bushings when installing new fork tubes.

What is the primary material and finish of these fork tubes?

The fork tubes are constructed with nickel chrome plating, offering durability and a polished appearance.

Can these fork tubes be used on other Triumph models?

These specific fork tubes (MPN: 100-0050964) are designed for the Triumph Tiger 800 XC 2011-2017. Using them on other models may result in improper fitment and compromised performance.

What is the typical dispatch time for this part?

Based on the product information, these parts are usually dispatched within 3-4 business days (Monday-Friday).

Is professional installation required?

While not strictly mandated, installation of fork tubes involves significant disassembly of the motorcycle's front end. Professional installation by a qualified mechanic is strongly recommended if you are not experienced with motorcycle suspension work.

Troubleshooting

Fork tubes do not fit

Double-check that your motorcycle is a Triumph Tiger 800 XC from the 2011-2017 model years. Verify the part number (100-0050964) matches requirements.

Sticking or rough fork action after installation

Ensure fork seals and bushings were replaced and installed correctly. Check that the fork lowers are clean and free of debris. Verify fork oil level and type are per manufacturer specifications. Ensure the fork tubes were installed straight and not binding.

Early signs of rust or corrosion on the new tubes

Immediately clean the affected area with a soft cloth and mild soap. Ensure the surface is completely dry. Avoid exposure to harsh chemicals or prolonged moisture. Contact the manufacturer if corrosion appears rapidly.
