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

Why do you have to remove the fender to remove the wheel

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 :)

For anyone watching, fill the new oil before putting on the filter. The manual makes it very clear there is a risk of air locking the oil system on these engines if you fail to do this, if you don't know what that means your engine has a very high chance of failing if it does form the air lock.
@eazyontwowheels26 күн бұрын
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

Hi, Have you got a service manual? Been trying to find one online.
@eazyontwowheels26 күн бұрын
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.

Hi, I recently bought a 2012 Explorer. The motorcycle wouldn't start for whatever reason. I have been going through the fuel hoses carefully as it was leaking fuel. I am curious to know where the fuel rail goes to. Would you or anybody here be able to help me out?
@eazyontwowheelsАй бұрын
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.

How is it to install the front spark plug? There seems to be very little space due to the size of the tank. I'm worried that you didn't show how you did it. Is it necessary to remove the tank? In Harley Davidsons, the spark plugs are angled so that they can be removed without needing to remove the tank. Thank you.

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

Great video. Thanks for sharing with us. I have a question for you. When you were checking for TDC on cylinder 1, how did you know it was on the compression stroke and not the exhaust stroke? If you got it wrong, wouldn't the ignition timing be out 180 degrees? Thanks
@eazyontwowheels3 ай бұрын
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.

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

So what if my front suspension is kind of OK at 34mm play yet the rear which should be similar is actually at 49mm and it doesn't go any tighter?
@eazyontwowheels5 ай бұрын
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.

@brotorcyclist5 ай бұрын
Hey, thanks for making this. I have a doubt. If I’m on the lighter side, why should I adjust the preload so that it brings the sag higher to 30%? I understand why I need it if I’m on the heavier side.
@eazyontwowheels5 ай бұрын
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.
