My bearings are mint but i have a bit of play with the axle and the bearings. So don't know if i need new axle. The front axle is bad it has a lot more play than the back axle.

@@MuddySump The front axle is 19.88mm. I have just picked up some new front bearings SKF 61904-2RS1. The inside of the bearing is 19.93mm. I do not understand as i have never had play like this on other bike axles. And i have play on this axle with new bearings.

If they’re the right sized bearings to fit the tool I don’t see why not. They all get fitted the same way.

Can this be replaced without removing the valve cover? I just did the 24k valve clearance inspection on my 2016 800xc and they were all in spec, but I'm getting occasional cam chain rattle on startup, usually when it's hot and has sat a few minutes. Currently at 28,500 miles. The rattle lasts 5-7 seconds when it does happen.

You can take it out but you’ll need to take the crank cover off so you can keep tension on the chain until you put the new one in and turn the engine over to release the clip.

Fantastic video(s)! I must be missing something obvious here, as my local Triumph dealer wants £900 for the 12k valve check on a 2014 Tiger 800. So if the valves are all good and nothing needs changing this seems like a very straight forward job for £900. I do understand that if the cams have to come out and shims sorted etc then this is naturally a much much bigger job. surely there should be two different costs perhaps from Triumph?
@MuddySump4 ай бұрын
I think they’ll charge you more if they have to adjust the valves and that will be the price to just check them. Where about are you that they charge £900? Staffordshire triumph seems the worst with £1205 for a 12k on a first gen 800.

I ride almost always in deep silty sand. At 12000 miles I decided to change my chain and sprockets. The old chain seemed fine, however. Front sprocket was chewed up, rear seemed fine. I put a hybrid sprocket on rear, with aluminum insert, new front and new chain. 5000 miles later, the hybrid sprocket, which actually weighed nearly same as stock, thick steel one, had cracked. I put the original back on. Bike is a beast.

I've been following your videos to do my valves. Super helpful! Thank you. We have the exact same bike. (Badass black😁) I'd love to know where you got that little 1/4" extension. It looks great, with a swivel ball at one end to avoid using a separate angle adapter which can mess with your torque specs, and I like the gnarled surface so you can use by hand too. Haven't been able to find anything like it here in Canada. Sometimes the smallest tools like this can be huge when you're working on the bike.

Thanks. The tools will more than likely be from Halfords, a motor shop we have here in the uk. The tools come with life time warranty too so pretty good quality and a decent price.
