August wasn’t a good month for Triumph’s Tiger 800 and Tiger 
800 XC as recall notices were issued in the past week or so not once but twice. A problem with the engine management software on certain 2011 and 2012 models, which could cause lower RPMs and stalling when decelerating, affected as many as 1,485 bikes.
