How I changed the Oil and Filter on a Triumph Bobber Black.

Watched your video for my 1000 mile change and just watched it again b4 I start my 6000 mile change just to make sure I'm getting it right again😅 doesnt hurt that youre entertaing to watch either. Thanks bud!👍

[@ColinMichael-Artist]

Hi I watch others doing thinking on you tube. Then miss something then watch again 😂 and again eventually my brian ah yes that bit first etc it's all fun and frustrating...then I have a quite beer and think yup did it..safe riding keep it on the black stuff.✌️

Great job mate, I had a tough time draining the oil on my Triump Bonneville Speedmaster few months back and couldn't find any good videos. We appreciate the walk through!

[@ColinMichael-Artist]

Thank you for this. I did the video because I had the same problem as you when searching. No one showed the underneath clearly enough. The only think I noticed after filming is that maybe I should have done it from the left hand side. But I chose the right because of the side stand. Probably silly but hey it was not a great issue. Anyway cheers mate and happy safe riding and doing your own maintenance. 👍

[@aronpoindexter8709]

thanks mate! couldn't have done it without you 💪🏻

[@ColinMichael-Artist]

Happy it helped I too had the same problem and nervous about doing it myself.

[@ColinMichael-Artist]

Glad I could help.

@@ColinMichael-Artist can we expect in couple of months?

[@stuartparry8616]

That drain plug seal you took off is not a crush washer, it's what they all a dowty washer, mainly used on hydraulic hose fitting applications.

[@ColinMichael-Artist]

OK Stuart understand now cheers. Thanks.

[@dmorgado2934]

Great video Colin. Much appreciated. May I ask you what rear stand you are using for your Bobber please?

[@ColinMichael-Artist]

Honestly I can't remember long time ago and there is no logo on it. though its good I would buy a different one now just Google but make sure it canbe used on a bobber there is a hight issue plus the number plate can catch. So check first.

[@andyshaw5378]

Good video. How much did all the parts cost. What did you save in doing the change yourself

[@ColinMichael-Artist]

Thanks. The cost filter and the cap to undo around €40. But this depends where you are. I those triumph parts. You can get cheaper but not by much. Oil I can't remember but that's the big cost. Saving for me around €120. Most important I could do in my time. Not s garages. It's easy to do. Good luck.

[@jacksonmeta]

Thanks. Do we need to replace the washer?

[@ColinMichael-Artist]

You don't have to. But as it cost very little against the filter I decided to. As you see on the video the original was not in great condition anyway.

[@tgiby9062]

Im curious about the stand youre using

[@dmorgado2934]

@tgiby9062 did Colin answer your question about the stand? I am wondering the same thing.

[@ColinMichael-Artist]

Probably sooner...

[@alkantayanc]

Is it necessary to tighten the oil filter too much? Should I force it?

[@ColinMichael-Artist]

No way force it. Though I did not use the manual there must a torque number. Use common sense...

[@alkantayanc]

@@ColinMichael-Artist Thank you very much for answering my question.

[@mrmr-cg9et]

You over tightened that oil filter, that's why thier hard to get off, hand tight only, no need for a ratchet

[@ColinMichael-Artist]

I did not over tighten the oil filter as it was the first time I did it my self....
