The CURRENT state of Delboy's videos

Thanks to you Matt, I say 'click' whenever I see someone tighten something up (torque wrench or not)

[@233kosta]

You have to manually click for the calibrated torque elbow 😉

Surely a dealership wouldn't just give it's customers bikes to just some bloke in a lock up. If I found out my car or bike had been given to some untrained burk for his KZbin channel I would be asking for a full refund.

I looked up the dealership concerned and they have an Ebay account. They're selling a green Triumph Trident that looks rather like Del's old "daily rider". Is that mileage correct? Says 15K miles.

Just as well or Matt be fucked for content

[@GTMarmot]

He's got a "this isn't me, this isn't what I wanted to be doing, how did I end up here, and I know I won't stay" vibe.

[@GTMarmot]

@@darekm6859 He's quite a bit older than that, I reckon. But it's his situation more than the tools. A business has got him doing this because it's cheaper than employing a mechanic, or even having mechanic tools. And he's stuck and can't back out because it's 1) KZbin money; 2) he's given his "word" - some kind of weird omerta sort of thing. I do resent the fact that he constantly pushed buy-this-buy-that for all these years. People who want to fix/service their bike don't need to buy the Sealey/Wemoto catalogue. They just need correct advice.

[@GTMarmot]

@@darekm6859 He and people like him are one of the chief culprits for pushing this BS conflating needing a "shop" with having a bike. If you have a bike, you don't need a workshop. If you occasionally make something from steel, you don't a belt grinder or bandsaw. Indeed, he was in his 50s when he got these things (thanks to KZbin). And he has no training in how to use them, nor any need to use them. Just because someone has a bike, or works on a bike doesn't mean they need serious tools, or a workshop. I don't have a workshop. I have a garage. You don't need a workshop if you just occasionally make something as a hobby. I have an angle grinder and I will use that to cut steel on the rare occasion I need to. I have the space for a bandsaw, and the money to buy it, but I am not going to buy one. Just mentioning all this in case you were being snarky. Many of my tools are not the best, but they do the job. I am not a follower of Del or of Matt. I just watch videos, so if you have something to say on my channel, feel free to do so.

[@Coorsdrinker]

Keep to yourself, by man who makes videos for the world to see.

[@AdrenoChrome89]

Matt, adults can't be joined by an umbilical cord. What you and Craig have together is commonly referred to as docking.

[@sidwainhouse]

So not spooning then?

[@marcellucassen8033]

Takes out a broken stud, cleans it, then puts it back in 🤨 That must be the weirdest thing I've ever seen ... Edit: Could have faced the remaining few millimeters tread off flat (in a lathe), drill it to the correct tap size, tap to the correct original tread size and screw a bolt in and cut off the head of the bolt and job done, new extending treads to the correct size and length.

[@admshaw]

I thought he was gonna talk some bolloxs about how he's ordering a new one and will fit it off camera.

[@SixWheelsDown]

20:00 when you see Penny's face in the reflection- i call that "Crew or equipment visible" like IMDB

[@MrAli171]

Would it be better if you ran some flushing oil through before topping up with fork oil

[@mikethetrike9193]

Well I do🥸

[@JimBiddle.]

Just when you thought you were out, Del pulls you back in! Maybe he's hoping that by saying nothing, he can't be lampooned! But his particular brand of buffoonery, means that, even saying nothing, his cack handedness, is the gift that keeps on giving. Also heard, somewhere, he's got a bad heart, ooh me angina!

[@233kosta]

Why in the fuck does a tail light need to be "programmable"? Why the hell is there even a microcontroller involved? It's a safety-critical light! When the switch closes it needs to come on. THAT'S IT.

[@miff227]

saves on wiring.

[@233kosta]

@@miff227 I don't see how. You still need a brake light switch, you still need to run power and ground to the light, except now there are data lines involved too. All this does is overcomplicate a mission-critical system.

[@miff227]

@@233kosta you only need 2 wires to loop around the bike, a power ring, and a data ring, then have the lights addressable on the data wire, then switched grounds to the nearest grounding point. Not saying they do this, but it would be a method to save wiring, and also have the lights do extra duty or change behaviour based on certain conditions etc. I agree it is more to go wrong though. Do bikes now flash their brake lights under heavy-braking for example?

[@8610sarge]

I remember when he said he had never heard of Slaphead from TMF, then the next week he'd been a sub for years and having tea and biscuits in his old garage, faker turn a bagful of fake things.

[@misterdinkleburg789]

Can confirm, dyna clamshells (handlebar switch housings), are cast aluminum; in my case up to 2016.

About 5:30 seconds in when he put the lever into the housing he sprayed a load of grease in there but non of it went on the contact faces between the leaver & the housing it just filled the void 😂

[@78Ratje]

Maybe a stupid question, why the necessity to change the fork olie every 2 years, and cars are (mostly) sealed throw away units?

[@user-Merovingian1980]

the 300ml part i bet his desk is not level 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@Davidthomasv8]

Did anyone notice the drill was in hammer action ?

[@TornadoCAN99]

Doesn't the belt tension need to be set with the rear suspension under load (ie with rider seated on the bike), like is generally how a drive chain is tensioned? Otherwise the belt will go too tight as the SA pivots up.

[@some_random_garage]

I presume it's like harley, and there is a tool you use to test the tension as the bike sits on its stand. You mesure the belt deflection. I'd say all belt drives are similar

[@CactusforceX]

to be fair, the fork cap bolts dont have a torque setting on my '85 suzuki :P

[@Davidthomasv8]

My workshop is like that a kitchen its pristine except for the oil that's been tipped countless parts of motorbikes and air rifle bits and pieces and tools everywhere 😢

34:51 how does a swingarm end up looking that beat on?

[@rumien1383]

My thoughts exactly. Especially on a cruiser, whose owners tend to clean and polish constantly.

[@GTMarmot]

Possibly that part is from a stolen bike, where the lock/chain was cut with an angle grinder there. Not sure.

[@8610sarge]

I know with the new Harleys when the belt is replaced you have to replace front and rear pulleys at the same time, i should imagine its the same with that bike, if your belt is that knackered surely the pulleys are done as well, but Del knows best.

[@paulggibbon3057]

[@Honkawsuzyamal]

Not half as pissed off as the poor sods who ride them afterwards

[@ronr6605]

'99 Harley Dyna manual says on page 97: " every 20,000 miles "change fork oil"" so I think, I believe it not. There is no time given... can he still do? Ofc... but why claiming it is written there, if it isn't?

[@MattBracewell71]

Problem with cutting the old drive belt is that it's then tricky to hang it on the nail with the other old shit

[@TheBlibo]

That is a relatively new bike some years ago I had a 20+ year old mercedes I had to replace the cracked exhaust manifold even though the nuts were badly corroded and no longer the original 12mm hex size nearly all round they all came undone without shearing a stud because they copper plate manifold nuts and other fasteners in places of high corrosion just goes to show triumph have cheeped out

[@Mudganon59]

55:25 he cranked right side tensionter to the max and didnt touch left at all in the result wheel is crooked, it rubs on the belt and makes sound and also makes belt go wobbly and not straight

I'm sure that part is identical on the Keeway Superlight (clutch lever bracket ~£20 from Keeway versus genuine Harley part > £50) p.s. it's more like 298ml as you measure from the bottom of the meniscus 😉 p.p.s. WTF Del?! There are specific deflection tools for checking belt tension, they only cost a tenner (for a knock-off.)

[@icklepob88]
