Been having a Triumph group chat and the consensus is that the Clutch slave needs a rebuild and that should hopefully fix the clutch probs.  Looking like at least carb clean and balance is on the horizon so I may well be bending your ear @Clive.  Going to order some new rubbers before even attempting to get them off though.  

Yeh new intake rubbers were one of the 1st things I bought for the Tiger, the original ones were badly cracked and had gone very hard.

My problems stemmed from the bike being stood for years, the middle carb was corroded very badly (but Bruce gave me a spare set) so the middle carb was replaced.

I may have got it running sooner and better if I had a ultrasonic cleaner, carb cleaner and toothbrush were not the best for cleaning out the internal passage ways.

Even with the Carbtune Pro that Bruce gave me, balancing the carbs was a fiddle, it took me more than several attempts to get it right.

Make sure he tells you how to flounce after the third attempt.

How did you get on with the bike once you sorted it.

It was fabulous, a heavy beast, but once on the move most of the weight seemed to disappear, very comfy too, but too heavy a bike for a old man like me. Lol
