Great idea with the clamp changed my clutch fluid this week as upon opening the reservoir it looked like thick brown sandy porridge

[@Moonfleet41]

Good call mate, you can never change it too often.

[@wozg83]

@@Moonfleet41 cheers👍🤘🤘

[@alanpaterson5395]

The clamp thingie on the rear break pedal was cool. I had to get into all sorts of contorted shapes to change the fluid on my Sportster and reach the pedal.

[@plageran]

Cool idea with the sandpaper on the filter, i used a belt on my parent's car the last time (my bike uses a reverse threaded bolt for it's filter).

[@DylanGSXR]

I absolutely love the clamp on the brake , fantastic idea , as we all now it can be a pain trying to do it normally 👍

Ive been watching these Bonny videos during quarantine and upgrading my 2015 Bonny Spirit accordingly. Cheers for the uploads.

[@Moonfleet41]

Thanks mate, glad to hear it and appreciate your support, we have a new project coming next month and I think you'll rather like it!

[@marcswanson7066]

Go ahead and accuse me of being a cheapskate but last year I switched to Mobil 1 Racing 4T 10W-40 motorcycle oil to save a little money. I had been using Castrol. With the help of your video on the subject, I installed progressive shocks and springs at about the same time. The ride is considerably more comfortable now with less hammering of the spine under most road conditions. My first motorcycle, a Honda Super 90, was equipped with drain plugs on the bottom of the fork. It made changing fork oil a breeze. I wish it was that easy with the Trumpet.

[@paullandry5907]

So glad I've bumped into this video! Love the way you show us what to do. Brilliant! Thanks for sharing what you do!

Spot on the best maintenance vid for Triumph oil change and brake fluid. Very straight forward and pro. (Also no lame background music!) I laughed when I saw you grab the wood clamp because (hard to believe) I just bought one today at Harbor ?Freight on sale for $3.49. Genius! I put that in my bag of tricks.

[@arnybarmy]

Very useful indeed Del! Looking forward to some more fabrication though! Cheers!

Great trick using that tool to move the rear brake 😊

[@loddude5706]

I know it's wrong to envy etc., but I do like that bike. Excellent film work too - things just gets better & better . . . Pity no one thought to hinge that bash plate up one side of it's length, (couple of pinch bolts to hold it 'shut' etc.) it's only really there to stop rocks going in, not rods coming out, so having it 'burst' proof both ways is slight overkill - even for a Tri . . . . Did I say it's a nice bike? : )x

[@johnhudghton3535]

Oh yes, the oil will go all pver your lift..yes we all have a nice clean garage and smart lift...I've just got the gravelly road outside my house...

Your videos are always great - and your video skills are almost as good as your maintenance skills !!!

[@johnb4445]

Why you pulling the seals out of a brand new oil filter before fitting it?

[@Moonfleet41]

It only drops in to a slot and it's beneficial to get some oil in behind it and then re-install it, which all helps to seat it perfectly when you install the filter.

[@garya3056]

Hey Delboy, like your triumph videos. Saw your AIS removal video but us liquid cooled guys need some help with the EVAP system removal. Got a couple conflicting reports and would love your expertise on the removal with a video.

You never lowered the front fender after changing the wheel size. Looks a bit odd but I’m sure it handles much better.

I bought my 2019 T100 in 2020from the dealer and it had just been serviced with 2200 miles on the clock. I received a message from the dealer that it needed an MOT this year. So I contact them and they offer a free MOT with a service for £335 I’ve only done 2k miles. Think I’ll just service it myself.

[@armymutt25A]

I had my '04 Bonnie on the lift this weekend. Noticed the oil looks murky through the sight glass. Yours also looks murky and it's fresh. My '05 Thruxton looks clean. I wonder if there is something to the sight glass.

[@Moonfleet41]

It's just condensation mate, take it for a long hot ride and it'll burn off !

[@splodge5714]

Nice simple jobs well done. Does ABS cause a problem with changing the brake fluid? Cheers.

[@Moonfleet41]

Nope, just don't run the engine whilst you're pumping it through.

[@shannonmacdonald1440]

Hey Del. Love these types of videos. I use a vacuum tool to change my brake fluid. Have you ever used one? If so any disadvantages that you have noticed. Thanks pal. Keep up the great work.

Hi there, personally I haven't, I just use this manual method and it's served me well for a lifetime. Thanks for your support.

[@istvanvigh2367]

I like this model, it's classic. If I can't take the XJR-1300 anymore, I might replace it. Only the brake fluid holder is undemanding! It doesn't fit, but it doesn't fit a motorcycle!

[@skymningforelsket1302]

I have 2 questions. Where did you get that awesome bash plate that goes up over the oil cooler? Why did you put grease on the brake fluid resevoir bolt, aren't you worried it will vibrate loose?

[@Moonfleet41]

I fabricated the belly plate from sheet metal myself... nothing i liked out there, to ,made my own.

[@CBW0314]

What fender eliminator kit is that and does it fit on a 17’ t120? Nice vid and always a good feeling when you work on your own bike and in charge of your own safety

[@Moonfleet41]

It's a Motone tail tidy kit, you'll have to check with them direct about the right spec for your bike!

[@StevieGstar]

Mega job well done del ..

[@BowserFilm]

Followed this method for a brake flush, but can't get any pressure to the front lever. Any ideas for a remedy? Thanks!

[@matthewfox3760]

I recommend running the fluids at the proper level... bleed some fluid out the same way that you did for the flush before adding new pads... then proceed to fill the reservoir back to the proper fill level. Or better yet take care of the pads now. This only makes sense to be able to reference the factory marks.

[@welderressutti5364]

Nice job!

[@jairvasconcelos2365]

Nice video. Why does Triumph recomend you disconnect the battery before you change the rear break fluid on the liquid cooled bonnevilles?

I have been having some battery issues lately. New battery on the way. I've noticed over the last couple rides my digital odometer hasn't moved from 1789. I have rode 200kms since but no movement on the odometer. Any ideas?

[@Moonfleet41]

I'm presuming your speedo is working or you would have said... and If you've had battery issues, then get the new battery fitted first Stephen, and if it doesn't resolve it then take a trip to the dealer, explain the problems and they'll be able to plug in some diagnostics and check it out..

[@Steve--RR666]

Few good tips Del Sadly cannot do my front Brakes like that as my Z1000sx brakelines feeds the other caliper :(

[@Moonfleet41]

OK, you can still bleed them through mate, or do you mean you have linked brakes? As they can still be done, it's just a matter of operating the cylinder.

I've got to ask, why on earth is it called metric oil. I mean how is oil metric? Oh dear..(hangs head and slowly shakes it in utter disbelief)

[@Moonfleet41]

Metric motorcycles is what Americans call anything non-American, so metric oil is oil for metric motorcycles.

[@royking1]

@@Moonfleet41 sort of figured it, but it really highlights the politics of American manufacturing. Shame really.

[@Moonfleet41]

@@royking1 Actually, if you want to be really nerdy, it's not mechanical engineering that's responsible, but the American building trade, for generations they've resisted any use of the metric system and the schools only teach it on demand, so a whole civilization grows up with no metric and actually, I quite like the old imperial system,after all, it was ours first aye? and is often easier to use in certain applications.

Oil drain plug should be tighten at specified torque otherwise it will damage the threads.

[@Moonfleet41]

Exactly as I did do.

[@herbert4501]

I stripped a plug once while putting it to the specified troque. I used a callibrated (Hazet) torque wrench, setting was spot on, and cleared out the casing threads. It was my first time doing the oil cap to the specified torque, before I just tighten it wrist thight. Never ever had a strip or leak. I torque almost everything to spec but I don't do that for the drainplug anymore. It's a big hard steel bolt in an alloy case. in the end, use a troque wrench but don't follow it blind.

[@Moonfleet41]

@@herbert4501 Alloy threads in things like sump pans get bruised over time due to slight and continued over stretching and end up weakened, chances are mate, you did nothing wrong, the thread in that sump was probably already damaged and you just finished it off... bad luck buddy, things like that leave a nervous shadow every time to touch them in the future aye..
