Triumph T120 X pipe problems De cat pipe fitting precautions.

Avoid damaging your bike when installing your X pipe

[@mattsurrey6138]

Another tip I found the hard way, Put some thick masking take under that main T55 bolt so it doesn't damage the frame paint when its loose.

14:17 - love that!!! That dog knows a punchy parallel twin when he hears it!

Good to see a video with someone who’s done the job and can identify problem areas. Good job. I did a review of the x pipe itself on my channel. Nice to see a real persons review.

Too late now, probably, but the clamp shown at 11:58 would not appear to be correctly installed. The clamp should contact and hug the flared flanges all the way around, with about four threads visible where the tip of your finger is. I see eight threads. For me, these clamps were very fiddly and a bit frustrating to install.

Thanks for the tips! Starting up my swap now

Thanks for the tips, I'm about to make a start on fitting one onto my Thruxton.

[@MrImarcus]

Good luck! You will love the difference I'm sure.

@@MrImarcus Thanks. Giving myself plenty of time ready for when it warms up and the salt is off the roads!

Thanks for the comments looking forward to fitting mine with a set of remus exhaust 🏍🏍🏍👍

Great tips there sir. I have a spring puller if you want to borrow it - might save your knuckles!

Many thanks my mate for the vid....ordered a TEC X-Pipe yesterday....so fitting soon.....want to make a before and after road vid before I change it. Some great tip there....most helpful. You sound just like me...I don't trust anybody else working on my bike....every where is so slap dash these days....killed me having to take my T100 back to the dealer for its first service.....could do it with my eyes closed but did not want to risk the warranty....or having aggro over it. I was trying to compare the Motone re the TEC part as I did not know which one to go for.....did you find out much about the Motone pipe before you got yours.....did you find any performance gains after fitting? You sound like a norther lad like me...Runcorn..... I agree these bikes OOooozz quality. Thanks again for the tips. Nick.

Brilliant video, only useful one on KZbin. I am about to do this job and will be referring to your video cheers

[@sparky337]

Great video ! Very informative with the best tips out there 👌 You’ve just swong my dessision to fit one ☝️ more bloody money 💴😂

[@stevethomas3406]

Excellent vid mate those bloody back clamps are twats lol I ended up buying new graphite seals made it much easier. Tec shocks next and your right about the quality 😍👍

[@MrImarcus]

Thanks pal glad it helped. Look forward to that roar under throttle. Nothing like it. 👍

Can I as were did you get the tank rack from with suckers.....yes indeed its very lovely.

[@MrImarcus]

Sorry just seen this mate. Motone custom I believe.

[@nickaxe771]

I wonder has anybody had the fuel injection system re-mapped after fitting an X-Pipe. I ask as I fitted a TEC X-Pipe to mine around a year ago to my 2020 T100. Love the engine sound and feel of the bike now and notice an increase in MPG. But what I have recently noticed and I am not sure if this is normal but took my spark plugs out recently and found the hot end to be quite white.....in me old carb days this would have been looked as as the bike running lean petrol/air wise and would not be good. Unfortunately I didn't check the plug color before fitting the X-Pipe. Of course with euro 4 emission standards it maybe right. Love to hear anybody's comments on plug colors before and after fitting the X-Pipe. Nick from Cheshire.

Thank you

[@hlpang1075]

Doggy doesn’t like the X pipes 😂

[@mcplutt]

Install the clamps on the x-pipe BEFORE installing it in the bike :-)

[@manithaariyathilaka5182]

Just a newbie question, did you re use all the seals/ gaskets or is there anything worse you need to purchase other than the x pipe? Also did you use any grease before putting back together? Thanks

[@MrImarcus]

Sorry, just seen this. All original seals mate. Greased nuts and exposed metal but no exhaust paste.

[@mcplutt]

At least replace the crush gasket rings in the cylinder heads. They can't be reused at all. The graphite gaskets in the x-pipe connections can be reused, but be careful. They are easily damaged. Use ceramic paste grease on threads.

Moral to this story???don't bother fitting one 🤣😃🤣

[@MrImarcus]

Indeed sir, but each to their own Jim. Not an easy job but I would fit one again. In my opinion the benefits outweigh the hassle...

[@jimclements3190]

@@MrImarcus Yes mate not a criticism more of an observation. My recently purchased 2019 Street Twin is fairly loud already so I don't think I will fit one, as you say everyone to their own👍

Fit one if you can't let it be. I couldn't :-)
