Hi Stuart just wanted to mention that your videos are always very educational and professional. You go through each step precisely and always offer sensible advice. With your educational videos you make tasks that would normally cost an arm and a leg to get serviced easily enough too follow and give it a go on our own with the right tools. Keep up the great work.
I will endeavour to keep doing so sir, I'm glad you find them useful , thanks for your comment!
Just sat down to lunch and the best gift ever a new Stuart Fillingham video! Thanks!!!
Your very welcome sir! enjoy your lunch!
I’m waiting for my gears now & can’t wait !! Thx
Stuart, you are fast becoming my 11th favourite Triumph custom build expert/mechanic/RUclipsr for the quality of your videos and advice. If a Haynes manual could speak and have two legs, it would do so in a Yorkshire accent.
thank you Gerhard.
I do like the look of a goldie looking chain sir 🤩 👍👏
Top vid... best chain fitting I've seen on RUclips ..... thx Stu
Thank you Dave! your very welcome, and of course thanks for watching!
Nicely done, you explained the chain replacement process very well. I hate to admit it, but I've never heard of a cush drive, so thanks for explaining that too!
LOL HI Wayne believe me your not alone! i reckon a lot of people are unaware of their existence!
@@stuartfillingham Knowing one existed on the T100 bike, but never thought of replacing it till watching this video. As a kid we did not have the luxury or cash to change things like that.
Talking to the local (2 hour drive away in Canada is local) Triumph dealer and he said they had not sold one in over 2 years. So obviously not an important wear item to them. Off to order one of these from wemoto right now. Thanks.
Very clearly explained and demonstrated. Totally agree about the Haynes manual, i used them in the 70s, indispensable!
Thank you sir! yes it was a god send for this video!
A Master class in chain fitting , outstanding .
Awesome video !!! I measured mine against my old one before I cut it...
So today I learn about a ‘cush’ drive, well that was news to me.
As always, a great step by step, and easy to follow video. Thanks Stuart.
I’ve ordered a Haynes manual too, as I want to start doing more on my own machine.
Ah good choice Marc! ive been buying them for years, most vehicles ive owned in fact! Thanks for watching!
Great vid Stuart... clear, concise and full of useful information to assist anyone tackling such a job. What a lovely motorcycle to own, She's in really good hands now my friend and her future looks rosy indeed. Thx once again for sharing.
Thank you Mark, and your very welcome sir!
Excellent Stuart, just excellent!
Thank you sir!
Great job Stuart! The bike is looking amazing!
Thank you very much sir!
Another fantastic and informative video, nothing left to chance, well done Stuart and thanks again.
Thank you Robert and thanks for watching!
As a novice i thank you for this segment on how to and why.
Great work stuart. Looking forward for next vid.
Thank you sir! and thanks for watching!
Great looking cover & always good to fit new parts 😀
Wonderful, very much useful and helpful information.
Thanking you with regards 🙏
What a great job! You make it look easy. Just a sweet bike...
Excellent timing Stuart, my recently acquired very low milage '96 Thunderbird has just such a slightly snatchy drive and I am certain a new cush drive is required, so thanks for the prompting. We here in Australia tend to spend less time in built up areas and more out on the open countryside in top gear so I usually go for one extra tooth on the front sprocket to lower the revs in top gear at the expense of a little clutch slipping about town. Horses for courses I guess.
Hi Chris, yes that makes sense, you would soon have clutch problems here in blighty with that set up. i always have the T120 for longer distances. thanks for watching!
Looking good! I like the mesh inserts.
Thank you sir! do you really! i made them myself you know!
Very nice vid, you killed it buddy!!!
Thank you sir!
Great video Stewart bike looks great.
Thank you Paul!
Hey Stuart, fantastic video sir and I loved that opening sequence. I've realised that if you start taking all your opening sequences and edit them together, at some point you will up end up with quite the 'Film Noir' collection. You should market the front sprocket cover mod as 'Maximus' Helmet'. Thankyou again Sir for the instruction, I didn't know about the cush drive either.
Thank you Mr Bond, I shall give that some thought, and dont worry about the cush drive thing i wont tell anyone!
Yes. That looks nice.
Thank you Chad!
Great video as always
Thanks Henry
Nice video work! And good advice!
thank you Mr Dark nice to hear from you!
Nice job Stuart.
Thank you for watching Tony!
Fantastic series, stuart,liik8ng at 06 t 1oo at the moment,getting inspiration here,thanks again.
Another well made informative vid thank you
Thank you Martin and thanks for watching
Great video. Can't wait to see how this T100 will eventually look. It would be interesting to see a review of the bike and how it compares with when you got it, and how it holds up against the T120.
Hold that thought Kevin i have plans fro just such a video! thank you for watching sir!
Great video! Thank you!
I remember checking the cushion drive on my S90 Honda when I was a teenager, and there wasn't much left of it
Very nice 🙏
Another great video. Thank you. Can you please make a video on the essential tools one should carry for Bonnie T120?
Hello sir! Thanks for watching, I shall do my best there have been a few tool video requests! Ill look into it!
VERY nice!
With 50,000+km and being 10 years old, a chain might be in order. So what to do? Look on your channel to see what you did. Now off to buy more parts...
Thanks for the video and thanks for the wemoto link. We are limited here in Canada on Triumph parts sources and no one has heard of Cush Drive!
50000km on a chain! well done Paul!
I wonder if Haynes will put out a service manual for the 2022 / 23 Bonnevilles. I would love to have a copy so I can learn as much as possible about service and maintenance so I can handle some things for myself.
I wish the new model offered brushed chrome engine casings for the T100. I was opening a model eould be announced for 2023 that would hwve brushed chrome casings but I haven't found anything.
Stuart, another excellent instructional video. Really enjoyed it. I know you didn't cover adjusting proper chain tension in this video because you already covered it in a previous post. My question is don't you find that if you turn the chain one complete revolution with the rear wheel still off the ground, that you encounter one area that gets tighter and one area that that gets looser and you need to adjust for a happy medium. Also with these new chains do you have to readjust it after a few hundred miles because of stretch.
Thanks, Hal
Hi, if you have tight spots on your chain, its usually a sign that its reaching the end of its life. i have to say ive not come across that for a long time, but my reaction would be to start thinking about a new chain.
chains do stretch initially but by how much will depend on many things, such as its quality and your style of riding. either way yes you should be checking the tension regularly and may have to adjust it in the first 500 to 1000 miles.
Thank you.
quality ... good quality ..... said about 65 times .... lol
It was originally 185 times but i edited most of them out!
Wonderful video Stuart, did the brake disk slide right out of the caliper when removing the rear wheel assembly? Love the looks of the front sprocket cover first time I've seen this particular one!
Hi Terry Thank you, yes its a curious arrangement as the calliper just slides in to it mount and so is very easy to remove and refit to the brake disc. biggest problem as always is getting the wheel lined up to get the spindle back in!
stuart fillingham yes how well l know, looked like the 2by 4's worked really well and at 70 yr's old l need all the help l can get! LOL.
Hello, thank you for the video question. Where did you buy the Rubber?
Great video - thank you! I may have missed it, but how many links does the new chain have with that gearing? Cheers.
Cant recal but it was a standard chain length for the bike.
Hey Stuart! Another great video. I really like what you did with that meshing on the front sprocket cover.
A question... I'm thinking of buying a torque wrench as I'm getting more and more into fiddling and maintenance of my T120 (in many ways thanks to your channel). There are an awful lot of them out there in terms of range, prices and I suppose quality. Do you have any advice on how to choose the right one? Or perhaps I need more than one to cover the range of torque needed for all the nuts in the T120?
Come to think of it, I'm really interested in knowing about what you would consider the essential toolkit to have for your T120. Perhaps there's another Fillingham Productions video in there?
Hi Jorge Thanks for watching and for your comment, Which as ive found recently is a very relevant one! I did get a torque wrench about a year ago from a reputable brand which i considered neither to be cheap or expensive. They are not something you use everyday but they are essential unfortunately this wrench has let me down twice recently and only common sense prevented me from doing damage to the relevant fasteners! to that end ive now settled on the king dick standard range as a viable option for a DIY mechanic offering excellent British made quality at a realistic price ( though not cheap). i would say you will need a minimum of two wrenches to cover the required ranges and there will be an overlap where either can be used. I will be publishing videos on elements of my tool kit as time goes on and i will be reviewing my latest torque wrench in the next week or so!
Excellent! Looking forward to your torque wrench review then. Thanks Stuart!
Will you pls suggest how to lower the height of the motorcycle by atleast 20mm.
Hey Stuart. Well done and thorough video as always. Quick question..I own a 2017 Bonnie T100 and would love a good service manual to accompany my work. The Haynes publication specifies till '15. Would it still be a good resource when working on my '17 Bonnie? Thanks! These videos are inspirational!
Hi James no im afraid not! but a little bird tells me that Haynes may be releasing a manual for the new water cooled bikes sometime this month!
I have pre-ordered it for the Street Twin, release date is 28th march.
stuart fillingham Great! Thanks for the tip
Steven Hill I hope for the T100 as well. Any idea where I might pre-order?
Yes it covers the T100 It costs £24.99 You can order it here, www.haynes.com or you can call them on 01206 256101 The order code is ISBN 9781785214011
I've decided to change the sprockets and chains myself but in all the videos I've watched once the cover is off the front sprocket is there. My T100 (2017) has got some bits attached to the rear brake covering it and I can't work out how to get to the actual sprocket. Am I being dumb or have they changed the T100 slightly so the videos are out of date ?
No the videos are not out of date Dominic, the air cooled t100s are still the same and have not grown new parts over the sprocket. The new water cooled twins are a bit of a lash up in places and the front sprocket area is im afraid one of those places! few people will have had the need to replace the sprockets on the new models yet so there are unlikely to be any videos available,(in fact replacement sprockets are few and far between) your best bet is to get a Haynes manual released last month, and do it the old fashioned way! Thanks for watching!
It's one of the new water cooled ones, I'm doing about 1000 miles a week and it's my first bike (2nd if you don't include the one I wrote off 3 days after getting it) and I've not been as good at looking after it as I should have so the chain and sprocket have worn a lot faster than they should. I've got access to the sprocket now but it just makes it a bit harder to get to if you're applying the brake to hold the wheel when you loosen the nut. I might need a large spanner rather then breaker bar because of the the access but the principle looks the same as your video.
The principle should be the same on any bike Dominic, its just a shame Triumph made such a mess of it on these bikes! good luck with it!
THERE IS A BELT DRIVE OUT THERE FOR THIS BIKE
Now why would any self respecting biker want to fit one of those?
