With luggage and pillion, I would set the preload to the 6th notch which is the max setting (max spring compression)

I guess you don’t have to. Just need to remove the caliper covers to remove the brake calipers. I guess I should have named this video front fender and front wheel removal :)

The procedure you’re mentioning is for the new tiger 1200’s (2022 model year onwards). For the gen3 tiger 1200s and earlier (like my 2018 tiger), the manual states fit the new oil filter completely before filling new oil. You can refer to the oil change procedure for the gen3 tigers here: api.triumphtechnicalinformation.com/handbooks/documents/624329815b05bf5ce5065128/pdf#page176

Great video! I just bought the same model and color in Vegas and rode it back to Talladega by way of Sturgis. Just an incredible machine!

Appreciate the kind words 🙏🏽. And yes, both are fantastic bikes! Love them :)

Unfortunately it’s a monthly online subscription at triumphtechnicalinformation.com/. I couldn’t find a way to download it (they make it near impossible to do so). So what I used to do is subscribe for a month (I think it’s $5) when I’d be doing some complex jobs and terminate the subscription after. I’d write down the torque values so I can refer to them later without subscribing again.

@@eazyontwowheels Thanks.

Oh it could be a whole range of issues: 1) do you hear the fuel pump priming? 2) do you hear the click sound from the starter solenoid? 3) starter motor issue 4) fueling issues (if not fuel pump, then could be dirty/faulty fuel injectors? 5) could be a weak battery? The fuel rail is connected to the fuel tank on one end, and to the 3 fuel injectors on the other end at the throttle bodies area.

Ah I just took the old bearing to my local bearing store and they gave me a new one of the same size.

@@eazyontwowheels great and can you confirm the correct size please of 22x26x20

⁠​⁠@@fazfarrar. yup that is the correct size for the shock absorber bearing :) And the rubber seal size is 20x26x4

Awesome! Keep working on your bike! I’ll try create and upload the chain slack and wheel alignment video next week. Also gonna be creating a front wheel alignment video as well :)

@@eazyontwowheels That would be great teacher!! :) A video of learning to "tension the chain" on the Himalayan 450 would be perfect for your students. We will be very attentive to the news of the channel

Thank you 🙏🏽. Yup I believe it’s the same for all the gen 3 models (2018-2021) :)

Ah the vise / clamp i use is from parktool: www.parktool.com/en-int/category/clamps. The motion pro suspension vise (www.motionpro.com/product/08-0628) is a lot better / softer for holding suspension tubes, but it’s also a lot more expensive :(

Ooh I’m sorry i haven’t had to deal with this repair before :(

Ah no issues at all removing and installing the front cylinder spark plug without removing or even moving the tank out of the way. As long as you have a swivel spark plug socket like I have in the video, it’ll fit in the cylinder and you won’t need to move or remove the tank

@@eazyontwowheels ok thank you

Awesome! Hope it went well! About the circlip, I didn’t know what it was for either :). I remember most people on the forums saying they didn’t know either but one guy said it’s for the side stand when you’re lubricating it

Hey! Really appreciate the kind words! Yeah I when I was getting into working on my bikes, watching other people on KZbin and reading forums really helped me out a lot! And i feel working on your own bike makes you enjoy riding it more too. So if i can help just one person get into motorcycle maintenance, i feel like it was worth it!

Black should be ground and red should be positive I believe. One set for each side.

Great question! Before removing the cam shafts and cam chain, and right before the timing marks on the cam sprockets line up and right before you can lock the crank with a 6mm rod I.e. TDC of cylinder 1 in the combustion stroke, you’ll see a little timing mark on the crank gears that get locked when a 6mm rod is inserted. Pay attention to that mark and lock the crank at that exact spot when re-installing the cam shafts and cam chain.

I love Indians brother! Love the look and how they ride!

Appreciate the kind words, brother 🙏🏽. After market auxiliary lights should be no problem if you wire them properly with a fuse.

Ok ,tanks !!

Muito obrigado!!

JK, I see the part numbers now. Jesus, it's like nobody knows what parts are for these bikes. I've been trying to find the front brake part numbers for ages now.

What I usually do is go to revzilla.com and enter the bike model and year, and it only shows parts that fit the bike. You can get part numbers from there. If that doesn’t work, I find the OEM Polaris part number from the Indian website and then google that part number. You’ll almost always find aftermarket parts along with their part numbers that are a direct replacement for the OEM parts

I don’t think you can delete the old sensors. You can only override them with new sensors. It can be a pain getting them to read through the tires, so I program them before installing them. It’s much easier that way!

Thanks 🙏🏽. I will not remove them 😊

You should be aiming for a roughly 30% sag on your rear suspension too. So if you’re aiming for 34mm on the rear, I’m assuming your rear suspension travel is ~114mm? If your sag is more than 30% even after setting the maximum possible preload (tension) on your shock, you’re gonna need a stiffer spring.

Ah the tensioner tool and the 0.6Nm torque tool is to apply the correct amount of tension on the cam chain when setting the cam timing (aligning the timing marks on the cam sprockets), since the tensioner has been taken out and nothing is applying tension on the chain

If I remember correctly, yes it was … “Received vehicle speed has error”

Ah. Regardless of weight, light or heavy, you want to achieve roughly 30% sag. This will need more preload (tension) on the spring for heavier riders and less preload for lighter riders. 30% sag will achieve benefits when riding over bumps and prevent the suspension from bottoming out (as there is still 70% travel left). But also riding over holes, the suspension has the 30% travel to expand and maintain contact between your tires and the road, maintaining traction. If your sag was say only 10%, then riding over deep holes, your suspension has only 10% left to expand and you won’t be able to maintain traction.

@@eazyontwowheels okay, thanks buddy. Really liking the information you’re sharing in these videos

@@brotorcyclist thanks brother 👍🏽🙏🏽

Unfortunately it’s the accent I grew up with outside India 🤷🏽‍♂️

I’m glad it was helpful! Good luck! With the right tools, it’s quite easy!

I didn’t. Not really required I think :)

Reviews look good bro. And it uses OAT technology, so it can be used safely on your triumph tiger. Go for it bro 👍🏽

@@eazyontwowheels Thanks Bro👍
