Triumph Scrambler 1200: 10,000 mile service
Автокөліктер мен көлік құралдары
In this video I go through the major items included in the 10,000 mile service:
- I change the oil and oil filter
- I replace the paper air filter with a high-flow DNA filter. I also remove the airbox intake snorkel to improve air flow
- I perform an electronic diagnostic and reset the service interval
You can download a FREE copy of the service sheets (both my own service sheet and the official Triumph service schedule) from my Buy Me A Coffee page: www.buymeacoffee.com/fromthes...
The oil I use is Castrol Power 1 10W-40 Fully Synthetic racing oil
The oil filter is a HiFlo HF204
The air filter is a DNA High Performance Filter
The ECU access software I use is DealerTool

What a performance getting to the air filter, ridiculous on a supposedly off road bike where it needs to be done often.
An easy mod to stop your oil filter loosening is to put a hose clamp around it and tie wire the clamp to the frame. I'm sure a seasoned biker like yourself is most likely aware of this, but some of your viewers may not. After seeing a Ducati lose its oil filter on a racetrack, and subsequently spitting oil on the back wheel and sending,bike and rider down the road, rather unceremoniously, it adds a little peace of mind.

Thanks for sharing - great tip
Thank you... Appreciate all maintenance tips as I'm new to the Scrambler world with my XC 👍👍
Thanks man. XE is my first bike and I would love to learn how to service it by myself. Your video helps a lot!
Thank you for all of your videos. I appreciate the time you take to record and post them. Your walk throughs are excellent and I value your opinions.

great video . thanks very much. servicing my boys xe.
Nice to see a job done correctly with good use of a torque wrench. It's surprising how many harleys I've worked on over the years and couldn't the sump plug out because the dealers overtighened it. Great video as always, thanks Proffessori. PS next time you pop in you can do a 50k service on the rune.

Thank you so much for your videos, you have helped me understand my XC. Quick question or rather a request are/could you please do/doing a coolant maintenance video? Thank you so much and greetings from Los Cabos, Mexico.

Hi Jorge. Thanks for the suggestion.
I love your Scrambler videos. Is there any chance you will do a video showing how to remove the tank and do a coolant flush on the XE? It would be much appreciated!

Thanks, nice video with a lot of useful informations. My Scrambler being still under waranty I will let the dealer do the maintenance, but as soon as the waranty end, I would like to do it myself. I'm curious: have you also experimented a very short mileage from the front tire ? The factory one (Metzeler) only lasted 4600 km (2800 miles). I replaced it by a Continental Trail Attack 3 but it seems that it will not last much longer than the Metzeler. I drive mainly on small roads and not particularly hard.

If you see one of my earlier videos, I was unimpressed by the original tyres and changed them soon after I bought the bike. My best upgrade so far. (Conti Trail Attack 3s)

I really like the Michelin pilot sports touring tyres for on road as they last very well around 8000 to 10000 miles whereas the contis square off at 5000 miles on the front and are skittish on the white lines when worn.

@@Ian-bq7gp Thank you for the information. I will definitely take a look at the Michelin tire. I was incorrect about the longevity of the Continental Trail Attack 3. The front tire is nearly worn out, but I have now covered 10,000 km (6,200 miles), which is much better than the original Metzeler. It's true that the sidewalls wear faster, but I suppose those tires were not designed for the winding roads we have here in Switzerland 😀

I lived in la chaud de fonds nearly 7 years. I remember the weather. So much snow from October to may. Your riding there is very limited.
Thanks for all the work you've put into this. Sub from me.
Don't forget to put a tiny allen to fit the stupid key fob if your battery goes play whilst riding out. I did away with mine so as not to get stranded - I never leave the bike out of sight.

Its actually a tiny torx screw. I keep a torx driver and 2 spare fob batteries in the little box under the seat.
Hi Simon, I see there is a fuel filter in the tank to replace at regular intervals and another on the fuel pump that needs cleaning. What is your view on changing the fuel lines as per the service schedule? I never changed any on my old bike. Cheers Bob

Probably should be done, but TBH I don't bother. I've never had any issue on any bike with 'dirty fuel'

Did you ever changed the brake fluids and used the ABS bleeding procedure on the dealersTool? I would like to see that how it works.

I have not bought my scrambler yet. Evidently the engine oil lubes the transmission gears also?

Yes. It’s been decades since we’ve had separate engine and gearboxes.
The scrapes on the bottom of the oil filter are freaking me out a bit. I wonder if there are any reports of filters being damaged enough to cause leaks.

I've not heard of any such disasters, but I agree that its a risk.
I've just paid £238 for a first annual service as it was in warranty and now I'm wondering if it was worth it. I used to service my T140E for 16 years. You are much more skilled than I am, but I could do the basics for sure.

Hello; I think the problem will be in the future when it be in the need of valve adjustment service; like most of the new engines. I need to do it on an Husqvarna 401 and is a real pain in the arse. I need to dismantle half of the bike to only adjust valves! and then at that; when you remove the camshaft/s and try to let the chain in the best position to prevent disengage from down part (to not lose the timing) then do math to see the adjustment! Nothing as easy like an old Triumph
