There is no possible way to measure exhaust valve clearances with stright gap gauge. I ended up doing the service myself, and i assure you, that friction and tension of the straight gap gauge inserted into exhaust valve clearance with some angle, will cause incorrect values result. You need curved gap gauges. Also, please remember to oil your o-rings, especially the one in chain tensioner. I just wasted the new one because i didn't do it. That's probably the basic knowledge that every mechanic have, but i guess the audience of this video are people like me, that are not experienced, and missing information like that may result in job failure.

Sorry, I don't know the diameter of the tool. As to the bushings, they only need to be replaced if worn beyond a certain point... but having to leave the fork apart while you order them isn't ideal, and having them just in case is also sort of a waste when they are so cheap and the fork is already apart.

Those engines are good for well over 100k miles and is probably the best triple out there and very strong as it seems to share the same crank specs as the daytona 675 but detuned by one third on the bhp but with more low down torque. I had a 1996 daytona 900 and i really loved the torque of that motor. These tiger 800s are far better with a better sprag clutch, more reliable engine. What a great bike.

Can you use this to unlock some more HP and perhaps fuel economy. (For one year of ownership Im getting 38 mpg (2023 900 RP) while most everybody else getting about 50mpg. I have all the required items as you've stated, just wondering 1. can I tuneECU for better fuel economy and also, can I get the new 2024 increased HP etc?).
@BlueADV2145 ай бұрын
Sounds like it may be something to talk to the dealership about. I don't know anything about editing fuel/air maps and would refer that to a shop with a dynamometer and specialized equipment/training. And any increase in HP usually comes at the expense of MPG... just saying. In my opinion, the bike doesn't need more HP; it needs more torque on the ground and less weight overall. The weight of the bike/rider/luggage/etc. is all going to that little contact point on the rear tire and for off-road, that's a small area that the tire just spins on without more torque and tire contact (tread dependent). I would gladly take this bike with half the cc's... A Tiger 450 or 500 with a slightly smaller fuel tank would be awesome.

We're all brave to buy Triumph as it inevitably does shake itself apart - a healthy amount of patience and money must be set aside for the middle life of these bikes. My biggest gripe though is the lockdown of the service manual combined with the apple-like lockdown of "service needs to be done by certified dealer and details updated with us" idea. As you mentioned - no updates come along to say drop that mode-change behaviour. All this adds up to a pretty user-hostile product. It is only a great product until it leaves the shop - after that you are only of interest as you choose to go back for original farkle or "certified service". I still love mine (got a 900 GT) and will drive it till one of us is dust...

Grazie ottimo lavoro pollice su per te 👍
Sweet! I miss Texas. Maybe there will be a BDR there some day… a super long one I’m sure.
i see the texas logo on the tank...yeah...I am from Houston
What crash bars are those ?
They are the original designed crash bars from Trump. The new version is much better and has a third attachment point now.
Nice taste for car and motorcicle!! The same couple of mine!!
Can you use this to unlock some more HP and perhaps fuel economy. (For one year of ownership Im getting 38 mpg (2023 900 RP) while most everybody else getting about 50mpg. I have all the required items as you've stated, just wondering 1. can I tuneECU for better fuel economy and also, can I get the new 2024 increased HP etc?).
Sounds like it may be something to talk to the dealership about. I don't know anything about editing fuel/air maps and would refer that to a shop with a dynamometer and specialized equipment/training. And any increase in HP usually comes at the expense of MPG... just saying. In my opinion, the bike doesn't need more HP; it needs more torque on the ground and less weight overall. The weight of the bike/rider/luggage/etc. is all going to that little contact point on the rear tire and for off-road, that's a small area that the tire just spins on without more torque and tire contact (tread dependent). I would gladly take this bike with half the cc's... A Tiger 450 or 500 with a slightly smaller fuel tank would be awesome.
Hey dude, I successfully completed the valve clearances and got them perfectly set. Bike is all together, did you do throttle body balancing and if so, what pressure did you set them at? Cheers.
I didn’t balance them. Over 22k now and still running great.
is that a 2023?
2020
Hallo, where is the video which show how to reset chain tensioner ?
Was the engine hard to turn with the rear wheel ? I have the spark plugs removed and the bike in a high gear and it seems way more difficult to turn than it should be.
Are you in 5th or 6th…. I don’t remember it being difficult to turn, but I think 5th should be the easiest gear to turn the engine.
Thanks!
Thanks for the video! Were those allen or torx screws primarily?
Allen
We're all brave to buy Triumph as it inevitably does shake itself apart - a healthy amount of patience and money must be set aside for the middle life of these bikes. My biggest gripe though is the lockdown of the service manual combined with the apple-like lockdown of "service needs to be done by certified dealer and details updated with us" idea. As you mentioned - no updates come along to say drop that mode-change behaviour. All this adds up to a pretty user-hostile product. It is only a great product until it leaves the shop - after that you are only of interest as you choose to go back for original farkle or "certified service". I still love mine (got a 900 GT) and will drive it till one of us is dust...
Subscription earned!
That looks like an expensive service.
Certainly something to consider, especially if looking at purchasing any bike. Fortunately, I enjoy the work, but I would be interested in what the cost would be to have the dealership do the work.
@@BlueADV214 Right now 13.5.2024. i got the dealership price quote for this service 750,00 euro for the whole job. this is a required maintenance at 20.000km
@@kresimirbajuti3254 I’m not sure of the exchange rate, but I was recently quoted $2,000 USD for this service. I sold the bike instead and got one that was more suitable for me.
@@BlueADV214 here in Croatia it would be 810,00usd and eur/usd is 1,08 ATM
Really appreciate your video, thanks. Looks like you did not adjust the tension on the cam chain tensioner. The manual calls for an adjustment with a special tool. Did you feel this was unnecessary?
The alignment looked good so I made the call to postpone it until 24k miles… which is coming up very soon. I’ll make sure to add a video of that process.
will the obdlink mx+ work with our bikes ?
The best place to check the current compatibility is through the TuneECU website/forum.
thank you @@BlueADV214
what a shit load of work this is. I have a R1200GS LC and what a breeze that is. The cilinderheads are on the side and very very easy to work on. But now I see what a job it is to do this on my Tiger 900 GT Pro......poor me.
We all need a KTM 690!! 😂 I agree with you, it’s a lot!

@@motorcyclistfromholland8856 I’m going to be doing some new vids on front wheel bearing/seals, fork oil/seal replacement, as well as upgrading the steering bearings from ball type to tapered. Hope you’ll subscribe and check those out!
@@BlueADV214 I already did! You have an informative channel and a good knowledge (or a great actor) of the work.
