Triumph Tiger Sport 800 (2025+) Maintenance Schedule and Service Info
This is the maintenance schedule and associated service intervals for the Triumph Tiger Sport 800. It is the same across all regions and model years from its 2025 release, as it is based on the new 798cc liquid-cooled inline triple engine developed specifically for this platform.
Chassis and equipment highlights:
- Tubular steel perimeter frame with Showa adjustable suspension (150 mm travel front and rear)
- 17-inch cast alloy wheels with 120/70 and 180/55 tires
- Dual 310 mm front discs with radial-mount four-piston calipers; 255 mm rear disc with single-piston caliper
- Electronics package including ride modes (Sport, Road, Rain), cornering ABS, traction control, quickshifter, and cruise control
The Triumph Tiger Sport 800 has a 10,000 mile / 16,000 km service interval. Compared to the earlier Tiger 850 Sport and Tiger 900 GT, the new engine offers more peak power despite lower displacement, and maintenance intervals are longer. Brake components are Triumph-branded (not Brembo), but service requirements remain consistent across markets and do not affect the schedule.

Triumph Tiger Sport 800 (2025+) Service Intervals
The basic service interval for the Triumph Tiger Sport 800 is every 10,000 miles / 16,000 km or 12 months, whichever comes first. At each service, change the engine oil and filter, check for leaks, and adjust the chain. Inspect the brakes, tires, and controls, and make sure the electronics and rider aids are functioning properly.
- Every service: Change oil and filter, check spark plugs, inspect brakes, clutch, suspension, steering bearings, chain slack, and tire condition. Check coolant and brake fluid levels.
- Every 2 years: Replace brake fluid.
- Every 4 years: Replace coolant.
- Valve clearance inspection: Every 20,000 miles / 32,000 km, a major service item that requires tank and bodywork removal.
The 798cc triple is compact and relatively easy to work around, with the belly pan designed for straightforward oil filter access. With Showa suspension front and rear, adjustments are accessible, and the chain-driven final drive is simple to service. Overall, this bike is designed for long stretches between workshop visits, making it well suited for high-mileage riders.
General Notes on Serviceability for the Triumph Tiger Sport 800
- The Tiger Sport 800 uses a liquid-cooled 798cc inline triple, so keeping coolant fresh is important to prevent corrosion and overheating. Coolant is due every 4 years regardless of mileage.
- Oil and filter changes are straightforward once the belly pan is removed, and Triumph specifies 10W-40 or 10W-50 synthetic oil.
- Valve clearance checks are required every 20,000 miles / 32,000 km. This is a major service that involves tank and bodywork removal, so plan for longer workshop time.
- Brake fluid must be replaced every 2 years, and brake pads have a minimum thickness of 1.1 mm front and 0.8 mm rear.
- The chain final drive requires regular adjustment and lubrication (every 200 miles or after wet rides), with free play set between 43–46 mm.
Maintenance Schedule for the Triumph Tiger Sport 800
Below is the maintenance schedule for the Triumph Tiger Sport 800. The Triumph Tiger Sport 800 PDF can be found on the Triumph official site.
The schedule is divided into four parts:
- First service: Due at 600 miles / 1,000 km or 6 months, whichever comes first.
- Annual service: Completed every year.
- Regular maintenance: Every 10,000 miles / 16,000 km.
- Long-term service intervals: Items that require attention at longer, sporadic intervals.
To keep the motorcycle in safe working order, follow the scheduled maintenance chart. Maintenance may be annual, mileage-based, or both, depending on how far the bike is ridden each year.
- If you ride LESS than 10,000 miles / 16,000 km in a year, you still need to do the annual service once a year, and complete mileage-based items as the bike reaches those distances.
- If you ride 10,000 miles / 16,000 km a year, you can usually do the annual service and mileage-based items together.
- If you ride MORE than 10,000 miles (16,000 km) a year, complete mileage-based items as soon as they come due, and also make sure annual items are done once every year.
First Service
The first service / break-In maintenance is usually carried out by the dealer under warranty. It should be completed at 600 miles / 1,000 km or 6 months, whichever comes first.
Note: The chain drive should be lubricated every 200 miles (300 km).

About the 2025 Triumph Tiger Sport 800
The Tiger Sport 800 is Triumph’s latest stab at that sweet spot between everyday usability and weekend escape machine. It sits right in the middle of Triumph’s Tiger family: less burly and long-legged than the Tiger 900 adventure bikes, but a big step up in muscle and features from the smaller Tiger Sport 660. Think of it as the middle child who finally got noticed, and came back from college with a gym membership and a decent haircut.
At the heart of the bike is a brand-new 798cc triple, and it’s a gem. Triumph claims 115 PS (113 hp) at 10,750 rpm and 84 Nm of torque at 8,500 rpm, but the important bit is that 90 percent of that torque is hanging around in the midrange. What that means in practice is instant, grin-inducing drive whether you’re flicking through backroads or sitting at a steady cruise. It has that trademark Triumph triple character: smooth, punchy, and with just enough bark from the stainless exhaust to remind you you’re not riding a commuter scooter.
Chassis-wise, Triumph didn’t cut corners. You get Showa 41mm upside-down forks with adjustable rebound and compression damping, plus a rear shock with remote hydraulic preload and rebound adjust. That gives you 150mm of travel at both ends, which is plenty for soaking up real-world road abuse without wandering into full ADV pogo-stick territory. Handling is sharp but not twitchy, thanks in part to the bike’s relatively light wet weight of 214 kg. Pair that with Michelin Road 5 tires and Triumph-branded radial calipers clamping down on twin 310mm discs up front, and you’ve got a setup that inspires confidence even when you’re loaded with a passenger and luggage.
On the gadget front, Triumph didn’t skimp. You get three rider modes (Sport, Road, and Rain), cornering ABS, traction control governed by a six-axis IMU, and standard cruise control for the long hauls. There’s also Triumph Shift Assist for clutchless up and down changes, and the familiar My Triumph connectivity system built into the hybrid LCD/TFT dash. LED lighting with DRLs rounds it out, giving the bike a modern face and better visibility.
Comfort hasn’t been forgotten either. The seat is set at a reasonable 835 mm, narrow enough at the waist that most riders won’t be on tiptoe. There’s a roomy upright riding position, integrated grab handles for the pillion, and an adjustable windscreen you can tweak one-handed. The tank holds 18.6 litres, which, combined with the frugal engine, makes it a solid mid-distance tourer without constant fuel stops.
So where does this leave it compared to the Tiger 900? The 900 has more outright grunt (95–105 hp depending on trim) and is built for real off-road adventure, with bigger suspension travel and 19/21-inch wheels. The 800, on the other hand, is a road-biased sport-tourer. It’s lighter, sharper, and a lot more affordable, aimed at riders who want corner-carving agility and day-trip comfort without a Dakar rally bike in the garage.
The Tiger Sport 800 is one of those bikes that could easily be “the only bike you need.” It’s practical enough for commuting, comfy enough for touring, and lively enough for Sunday thrashes. If the Tiger 660 felt a little underdone and the 900 feels like overkill, the 800 may be exactly the Goldilocks middle ground Triumph intended.
