Displacement:
Approx. 100 cubic inches (1637 cc) - Note: This is likely a misinterpretation of 'Tiger 100' which historically refers to a 500cc engine. The T100C designation often refers to the 500cc Bonneville engine in a Tiger frame. The manual will clarify the exact engine displacement for the T100C model covered.
Bore X Stroke:
Consult manual for specific T100C engine variant (e.g., for the 500cc: 63mm x 82mm)
Compression Ratio:
Consult manual for specific T100C engine variant.
Horsepower:
Consult manual for specific T100C engine variant (e.g., for 500cc Bonneville variants, around 34-42 bhp).
Torque:
Consult manual for specific T100C engine variant.
Carburetor Type:
Likely Amal Monobloc or Amal Concentric, single or dual depending on the T100C variant. Manual will specify.
Fuel Type:
Leaded gasoline, consult manual for octane rating and potential unleaded conversion advice.
Oil Type:
Mineral-based motorcycle oil, consult manual for specific viscosity grade (e.g., SAE 20W-50) and capacity.
Oil System:
Dry sump lubrication system (typical for Triumph twins of this era).
Ignition System:
Positive or negative earth magneto, or dynamo with battery ignition. Manual will clarify specific system for T100C.
Oil Change Interval:
Consult manual for specific interval (typically every 1,500 - 3,000 miles or annually).
Valve Clearance Check:
Consult manual for specific interval (typically every 3,000 - 6,000 miles).
Chain Adjustment:
Regularly, consult manual for desired slack (typically 1/2 to 3/4 inch).
Engine Oil Viscosity:
SAE 20W-50 (common, but manual is definitive).
Gearbox Oil Grade:
SAE 30 or specific motorcycle gear oil (consult manual).
Fork Oil Type:
Specific fork oil weight, consult manual for type and quantity.
Oil Leaks:
Common in classic British motorcycles due to gasket aging and design; manual will detail sealing procedures.
Charging System:
Early dynamo systems can be less robust; manual will aid in troubleshooting.
Clutch Wear:
Regular adjustment and eventual replacement of clutch plates are normal maintenance items.
