I used SuperTech in a 92 Saturn for the last 200,000 miles of it's life and it was running perfectly until I got T-boned. I'm not recommending SuperTech, but does anyone truly know where their oil comes from? Believe half of what you see and none of what you read or hear. I wish I could convince my in-laws to stop watching MSNBC I will probably only use SuperTech this one time to help clean out the engine. I already found some Valvoline on sale for my next oil change.

Gary, ninety percent of the time you get what you pay for. If you buy a three-dollar filter, that's what you'll get. If you had used your time to watch the video instead of criticizing it, you would have seen it is indeed motorcycle oil. This was also stated in the commentary. Yes, Gary, my eyeballs were calibrated in Bangladesh back in 2017. I am now seeing down to 3 microns at 20/20. If this oil didn't look dirty to you, you shouldn't be operating a motorcycle or anything else for that matter. Switching oil brands is something you have to be careful about. Different oils use different detergents. The previous owner probably used something other than Mobile1 for years, and the Mobile1 cleaned out much of the remnants being left behind by this other oil. This is a very good reason to monitor it, change it, and use different brands. Thank you for your concern about my garage floor. I'll try to do better in the future.

@@TriumphSpeedTripleMaintenance I did watch the whole video and did see you mention near the end how it was rated 'motorcycle oil', so I edited out my question whether it was, as you can see. I find if I post while I watch I tend to not forget what I want to say, and respond accurately, so sorry if you read it before I removed the comment. My point is what evidence do you have that your oil needed changing? No one I know of recommends changing at 1,500-miles, unless there's good reason. Most have change frequencies as much as ten times that. Because it 'looks dirty' doesn't cut it, otherwise every oil analysis company in the market would always come back with 'change your oil', instead of hard evidence of deteriorated oil additives, and/or contamination, and/or actual signs of wear particles that are typical of most oil analysis reports. Oil gets' dirty' from the micron sized combustion ash that blows by the rings on every combustion stroke. If the filter is good enough (few cheap filters are) they capture any particles large enough to cause wear or clog up oil flow. Most engines darken their oil within a few hundred miles. Doesn't mean your engine is no longer protected. I've seen Oil Analysis Reports from high mileage engines that show the oil still had high levels of wear protection, and additive quality remaining, while showing little oil contamination, or signs of wear particles. Actual Evidence does not lie... I've seen several high mileage engines torn down that have basically followed manufacturers' change intervals and which had little wear, including still having most of the hone marks remaining on their cylinders. None of them changed oil at 1,500-miles... I've put 165,000-km on my BMW R-1150-RS changing my oil at about 8,000-km on average, and rarely had to adjust my valves, and have almost no oil consumption during that period, and I don't baby my engine. As to your comment "you get what you pay for", why do you think the 'cheapest oil and filter you could find' were your best choice?

@@garymaclean6903 Joking aside, you make some good points. However, for my piece of mind, an oil change is cheap insurance and cheaper than an oil analysis. I am only this particular on my bike and my Vette. My other vehicles are on a 5000 mile schedule. Thanks for you comments.

Oil changes are the cheapest insurance. On my 05 I change every 1500 or so

Hello Herxheim, I would like to know the name of the shop, however, the simple fix using just a larger diameter hose works great. Thanks

@@TriumphSpeedTripleMaintenance the shop is named triumph-teileshop. there you can access the "parts-cataloge" and select your model and type by the FIN.

Thanks again!

Yes, you can refill from the recovery tank if it is a little low on coolant. If you are down more than a pint, let it cool and fill both the radiator and recovery tank.

@@TriumphSpeedTripleMaintenance you are a life saver! Thank you for what you do! I cannot tell you how special this bike is. So unique. The design. Style and sound. It's something special!

Interesting, thanks for the info.

Thanks for the kind words. I'm glad you like them. Good luck with your fuel issue. Let me know how it turns out.

Is it electronic injection?

@@jbean530 yes

The 06 was the only thing available on Cycletrader at the time. It was just pure dumb luck that I ended up with it. I was sick of wasting my time at dealerships so my options were limited. I looked for a Kawasaki 650 for over a year but I didn’t want to spend more than 5k. So after missing my chance on a BMW 800 I narrowed it down to an 05 Ducati (which looked awesome) and the Triumph. I was leaning towards the Ducati. It looked brand new, bright red with a silver trellis frame and 15k miles. But it was the limited production number, availability of parts, and the desmodromic valves that swung me to the Triumph.

@@TriumphSpeedTripleMaintenance man a local dude is selling the 2010 Speed with only 2900km.

Hey Jeremy, I don't think my bike burns oil, however I only have 1k miles on it. I have noticed it's dirtier than it should be for so few miles. I will be doing another oil change soon to help clean the engine.

I researched for hours and went to the end of the internet looking for the correct coolant. Peak European was the closest equivalent I could find. However, if you're doing a complete change and flush any HOAT coolant will work, just don't mix different types.

The upper gold portion of the jack is made by K&L Supply Co. the blue lower portion is a cheap Amazon screw lift. The K&L screw lift is four times the price. I had to modify both to work together.

You're welcome

Peak European concentrate. There are several images of the jug in maintenance video 13.

Thank you, glad you liked it.

Glad to help

Hi Mike, I’m glad you like the channel and can benefit from my experience and mistakes. My next major project will be the fork fluid change.

Thanks for the tip. I’ll check it out.

@@TriumphSpeedTripleMaintenance No problem. If you want to spend a bit less, you can apparently use the shift lever from a Yamaha WR80, but I've never tried it. Since it's meant for a dirt bike, the toe knob is knurled aluminum. I imagine that would tear up a street boot pretty quickly.

@@cordanez Thanks again. I also found some cheap universal shifters on eBay. For 10 bucks it might be worth trying.

@@TriumphSpeedTripleMaintenance Figuring out which parts will fit is part of the fun of owning any bike! Oh, here's another one: if you ever need to replace the fuel filter, you can get one from NAPA Auto for way less than one marketed for a motorcycle. Part # is FIL 3032 Good luck!

@@cordanez Thanks much!

True, and it probably took a little longer and a few more flushes but I didn't want the additional mess of removing the engine block plug.

Hey Jeremy, I don't ride hard and rarely get it to 10k RPM. I just checked it. It's still full but only 500 miles since the oil change. I'll post a small video if I notice it using oil.

@@TriumphSpeedTripleMaintenance any update?

Hi Jeremy, That's a good question. I haven't noticed it using oil but I only have 500 miles on it so far. I will let everyone know if I have to add oil between changes.

Thanks, will do!

Glad you like them. Thanks!

Good to hear, thanks!

Thank you. I will.

Thanks! And you're welcome. Learn from my mistakes. I wish I had just pushed the nipple and hose into the tank. That would've left the grommet in perfect condition. Fortunately the bigger half of my torn grommet was enough to hold it in the tank, especially with the new hose squeezed through it.

You're welcome

132 Newton Meters or 97 Foot Pounds, the nut should not be loose.

4K. What is MOT?

@@TriumphSpeedTripleMaintenance that the periodical vehicle control from the state.

@@jerryx2000 No MOT here that I'm aware of.

Thank you great video

Sorry A.S. not familiar. This is my first bike in 15 years and my first Triumph. I would start with the battery, then the batter connections before swapping out relays.

@@TriumphSpeedTripleMaintenance thank you brotha I appreciate it! Stay safe and have fun👍🏽
