Tiger 800 - Front wheel removal, inspection + re-fit

[@mateisons]

You're guides are the best I've seen on KZbin. Really helpful! Thanks.

[@allonmor4078]

Thanks for putting this together. I am just in the middle of the taking the tire off and needed the torque settings plus a 17mm socket info. Great video.

[@TheTriumfAnt]

Cheers mate, you make it look so easy. I'm going to use your vids when I do any work on my Tiger.

[@stevenvt1]

Thanks for this one too. Learning a lot from your vids.

[@MuddySump]

Thanks

[@MuddySump]

Thanks. I filmed the rear wheel vid the other day, just not had time to edit and upload

[@tjannot23]

hello thank for your video, it's just amazing how your bike is clean ^^

[@MuddySump]

I was in my garage in pieces for about 6 months while I was making all the videos 😂

[@MuddySump]

Thanks, glad they can help

[@MuddySump]

Thanks. I do plan on making a rear tyre video too. Should be up in a couple of weeks

[@MuddySump]

No problem. Its a 17mm sump plug tool that I use

[@Brandonbraun]

thank you!

[@banarne71]

Thanks for a good vid! Just a small correction. Before tightening the bolts for the calipers you should pump the brakes so they adjust correctly. After that you tighten the bolts to the correct specs. / Thanks for posting!

[@tinks43]

A great how to, nice one!

[@gormedic]

Good video, thanks man.

[@tacohofkamp]

MuddySump, a great video. I just purchased a Triumph Tiger 800XC Abs. I've got 2 questions. What kind of grease do you use on the axl? and the second question. Do you maybe know what the torque is on de screw that holds the abs sensor? I hope I'll hear from you.

[@MuddySump]

I just use a bit of normal multi purpose grease. The torque won’t be much, it’s only a small screw. Just give it a good nip up. There’s no need to remove it unless your taking the forks out.

[@MuddySump]

No, I give the caliper a little push to give more space when removing from the disc. They shouldn't move in by themselves

[@MrGuitarking82]

Hi Muddysump! Im thinking of changing my own tires in the future. The mecanic at the workshop I normally go to advised me against this though as this would be a really hard job, especially with the tiger 800 xc rims. I was wondering if you agree? I wanted to invest is eastbound levers with bead breaker to get the tires of cause I could also use this on the road. Would really like to hear your thoughts on it!

[@MuddySump]

I’ve only ever changed my dirt bike tyres with hand tools. You can do it, will get easier the more you get used to changing them. Will need to balance them afterwards as well though. You’ll definitely feel an out of balance wheel when you start getting some speed up on the road

[@17messina]

Tanks for you post! Help me allot! See U

[@MuddySump]

👍🏼

[@MuddySump]

Thanks

[@sameermoto]

Your videos are very helpful, thanks! After installing new front tire I get a pulsing brake scraping sound and slight vibration in the handlebar, looks like the guy who put back the front wheel did not align the brake callipers right. What do you think could be the issue?

[@MuddySump]

There’s nothing to align with the calipers. Is the pulsing through the brake lever too? Might have somehow warped your disc?

[@sameermoto]

@@MuddySump I checked both the discs, they are not warped at all. The pulsing is mostly through the handlebar. The wheel is a little out of true 1-2mm. not sure if that has anything to do with it.

[@MuddySump]

Thanks. Don't know why youtube blocked your comment as spam

[@MrAST834]

I can't hear what you are saying at 1:22 Is it a 17 mm allen key?

[@MuddySump]

+MrAST834 yes, it's a 17mm for the front axle

[@MrAST834]

Thanks.

[@Frankmali17]

Did you ever convert to a tubeless tire? Would you recommend a kit?

[@MuddySump]

I’ve never tried them.

[@michaelbennett8847]

Hi. first bike so may be a silly question. I don't have a center stand, and have been looking at paddock stands. From the pictures online, it looks like a paddock stand will work with the front tire of the 800, but not sure it would allow removal of the tire? I would be using a rear paddock too per instructions online for bike stability.

[@MuddySump]

Hi. The front paddock stands rest on the bottom of the forks so should still allow wheel removal. Alternatively you could put a scissor jack under the skip plate and lift the front end up with the bike on a rear paddock stand still. I'd recommend the centre stand though. It's always there for when you need it. Can't carry paddock stands around with you

[@petkopeet]

What grease do you recommend? Normal lithium will do?

[@MuddySump]

For what? Just to keep the spacer in the wheel then a multi purpose grease will be alright

[@blaw918]

Thanks for the great video. How about one showing how to remove the rear??? Please!!! I'm new to motorcycle maintenance and would love to start doing my own work. Especially changing tires.

[@stevenvt1]

How did you get tubeless rims? The 800XC in the US uses tubed rims.

[@MuddySump]

They are the tubed rims :-)

[@BooCooDaBreeze]

Don't the brake pads trend to move in when the calipers are removed? Is bleeding off some fluid necessary for re-installation?

[@bigman-adv]

When spokes are found to be loose what torque do you recommend for tightning spokes, for both the front and rear wheels? I plan to get a spoke torque wrench and couldn't find these values in the owner's manual or shop manual.

[@MuddySump]

Don’t know what it is, I’ve never used a torque wrench on them.

[@bigman-adv]

@@MuddySump Thanks for the input. I know many people go by ear, but thought maybe I'll use accurate torque values. From what I gathered so far the recommended value is around 45-48 inch pound.

[@vicwiseman6038]

I just want to point out that the front brake calipers bolts require 28 Nm NOT 21 Nm. I had to go back and re-tighten mine because that's what's the Haynes manual specifies.

[@MuddySump]

+Vic Wiseman triumph manual says 21

[@tattoodsamurai]

after I changed the tire the TC light came on after I put it all back together. Do you know how to reset it or why it came on?

[@MuddySump]

+roger johnston is the abs sensor on the right way?

[@evilpod]

Quick question... 2 take off both wheels to get new tyres fitted. I have a centre stand and an old motocross style jack to put under the bash plate.. will the bike be OK like this to take both wheels off at the same time? is there a preference to which wheel I take off first? cheers in advance

[@MuddySump]

Yes. The weight will be on the jack so won't tip back. Is the stand the right height not to push it too far up?

[@evilpod]

It's the triumph tiger 800xc factory stand..

[@MuddySump]

+evilpod I meant the mx stand. They're usually pretty high

[@evilpod]

+MuddySump it's hydraulic so I can raise it up under the bash plate to take the weight from it so the bike doesn't tip forward... I thought between that and the centre stand it would be OK. ..

[@MuddySump]

+evilpod yea should be alright. I usually use a scissor Jack and the centre stand when doing steering head bearings and have both wheels off the ground then

[@ggalbreath1234]

What is wrapped around your exhaust pipes there ?

[@MuddySump]

It’s the touratech manifold guards

[@fjaguayos]

hi...do youn know change the control miles for the next oil change??....on the board?

[@MuddySump]

Reset the service light? You need diagnostic software

[@vicwiseman6038]

Great video but I don't think you need to remove the front brake caliper.

[@MuddySump]

+Vic Wiseman does the wheel not hit the calipers if they're left on?

[@MuddySump]

thanks

[@lifeofRyleeG]

what kind of grease do you use?

[@MuddySump]

+lifeofRylee it's just multi purpose grease
