@steveleegym thank you for the comment, glad you enjoyed it

Hi there, thanks for reaching out and for the kind words. I'm glad some of the content can be of some good use to you. Have you got much to do in order to recommission the bike?

@@thedbsworkshop1 Front fork seals are shot, looking at a refurbed yoke+fork set on eBay but first I want to make sure she's still turning over. Worried about rings sticking. Plan to take the plugs out (thanks for the vid) spray some WD40 in there a day prior, rock it in gear then try turning it over with the plugs out.

Ah right, iv heard alot of people saying to use genuine seals but I was on a tight budget so see how these after markets last. I had the top & bottom yokes powder coated locally for about £30 (aswell as other bits) & look so much cleaner. Glad the video could be of some use to you, you'll have yo let me know how you get on with the pistons.

@@thedbsworkshop1 Not going well. First my spark plug socket won't fit down the plug well (will have to order a thin wall socket). Then when I went to drain the tank nothing's coming out when I switch it to On/Reserve (with or without cap on) - is that normal? I have so many questions!

@ionwerks as for the fuel tank yes that's normal as the tap is vacuum fed, you'll either have to attach a hose to the small nipple and blow into it (which will take a while) or best to remove the fuel tap all together unless you fancy syphoning the fuel out (do at your own risk) *up coming video currently in edit 🙈*

Hi there thanks for your comment. Yes, the steel I had laying around wasn't the right size, so I ended up ordering some of Ebay cut to the size I needed think it cost about £6

Brilliant bike, I do love a yammi. Great choice also 👍, being around for over 20 years they have managed to refine the YZ platform with the X model & the wide range gearbox, can't beat a good 2 stroke imo 😀

@@thedbsworkshop1 Yeah the gearing is perfect for me as I don't do much MX riding anymore, mostly trail and some enduro riding, my bike is perfect for it and have had it for 4 years since brand new and still the most reliable bike I have ever had.

😃 glad to hear, thank you for the comment & feed back much appreciated 👍 ride safe

Oh brilliant, glad to hear it & and you're sorted now. Thanks for reaching out 👍 ride safe

Yes, you could, I worked on bikes for many years in my younger days without one. But being very careful making sure to properly tighten up/secure fasteners properly. Also it's good practice to perform a short test ride then go over & re-check all the fasteners are all still tight & haven't moved. Although I would highly recommend the use of a torque wrench even a low-cost one as I've learnt over the years there is good reason to secure to OEM spec with different strength bolts/clamping forces or in some applications the use of stretch bolts(one time use) etc But of course any work on your own bike is at your own risk.

That's great to hear thank you for reaching out & the feedback much appreciated 👍

Glad to hear it, thank you for the feedback & comment 👍

Interesting choice, BMW or HONDA? do you have a particular favourite model or just a boxster in general?

Glad to hear it was of some use to you, thank you for the comment & feedback 👍

Thanks Ian glad to hear 👍

😀 that's just put a smile on my face, thank you for the kind words much appreciated 👍

Hi there, thanks for your comment. I am not sure on the licence plate holder as the bike came with the tail tidy pre-installed when I purchased the bike. But for the exhaust I have installed a delkevic can & link pipe (KIT29KA) delkevic.co.uk/triumph-sprint-st1050-2005-2007-225mm-oval-stainless-exhaust-kit-KIT29KA.html (It is loud!)

Hi there, I'm not actually sure for some reason I haven't linked it in the description. But I will try and find the artist & song and get back to you when u can.

Glad I could help, thanks for the comment. Let me know what you decide to get.

Thank you for the comment and the feedback much appreciated 👍

Thank you for the comment & feedback

i'm sorry i don't understand what you mean?

​@@thedbsworkshop1 I apologize for the machine translation. i meant, can i install oil seals, collars from other triumph motorcycles on the front fork or on the sprint st only special suspension parts.

@@NikitaChe76 I would imagine it would be possible, but i cannot say for certain & which models. you would have to cross-reference some part numbers. Here is a good source of information for you, www.worldoftriumph.com/collections/bikes/products/sprint-st-from-vin-208167

@@thedbsworkshop1 many thanks. Today i bought a triumph st 1050 2006. the bike is amazing. i can't find the service manual, can you tell me where i can download it.

@@thedbsworkshop1many thanks last question ) I bought this bike today, triumph sprint st 1050 2006. there is a problem, does not engage the 2nd speed on a parked bike, and does not catch the neutral. on the move, the 2nd is engaged with a crunch. if the bike is turned off, everything turns on smoothly, exactly without assignments and extraneous sounds. where to look, the oil level is normal, the clutch seems to have never been changed, mileage 74000 km. for this bike is not enough, but for the clutch is probably the limit of wear?

Hi mate that is with the db killer fitted. It has since the video been removed which was really easy to do with one allen key bolt & pull it out the end if you wish.

@thedbsworkshop1 brilliant, thanks. I'm looking for a bit more than stock but something suitable for living in a housing estate

Hi mate thanks for reaching out, and thank you for the guidance. This is the first time for me working on this style of swingarm setup so your input is greatly appreciated

Yep, this video needs updating showing corrected method of the bike on it's side stand.

Hi there, the brand was K2 brake caliper paint. As for longevity I am not too sure as I had a problem with both calipers bubbling badly. But I am not sure if this was due to a problem with the bleed nipples or brake fluid eating the paint during the bleeding process. All looked great until approx 2 weeks later. Then I decided to re-strip & sent off for professional painting. I would highly recommend the company that I have used a couple of times since now, if you would details let me know. Cheers

@@thedbsworkshop1 The bubbling is usually caused by the old paint, due to a difference in chemical composition, it causes a reaction with the new paint, so unless your 100% the chemical composition of your new and old paint are identical, you need to remove all traces of the old paint also you need to make sure your new paint is oil proof. Iv learned that from a professional car painter.
