After complaining about the music on the last video, I quite like it now! Watching you tear down the mighty 1050, you realise that you actually get a lot of motorcycle for the money!
Yea it’s the only way I could do it to keep my head straight, I’ve seen people use several bins to sort them but with my luck I would have mixed them all up lol
@@mendingmotos In the end you always figure it out but with the different lengths it can take a while. I found it a useful trick and going to use it myself.
May I ask if all of the gears were in good shape on inspection? They looked pristine in the video, but I've found the gearbox to be a bit agricultural in general on the 1050, and with the shift assist, I find that while the change up from 2nd to 3rd is silky smooth, some of the higher gear changes are more clunky. Smoothness seems to depend on how well the chain tension is set up and maintained. I also found that compared to the new 1200 RS, the down shifts using the auto blipper can be quite harsh. Some owners have reported on various forums that they trashed 4th gear in particular and struggled to get the issue fixed under warranty. I don't use the shift assist much as a result. The dealer told me that the 1050 gearbox is not really suited to quick shifter use, while the new 1200 gearbox was designed with this in mind. They had to fit one on later RS models, as this was a competitive requirement. If the bike's previous owner has subjected it to spirited riding, using the shift assist a lot then it may be worth a careful look while everything is apart.
Every thing was perfect I was worried a small rock got in them but I didn’t have footage of me COMPLETELY FLUSHING THEM with brake cleaner and then blowing them out and then dunking them In oil. But once the bike was back together and I got to ride it…. Like butter… I will own a triumph in the end it has been my all time favorite bike due to its smoothness all around from fueling to shifts to sound lol
@@mendingmotos You certainly won't regret getting the 1050 RS. It's an amazing bit of kit, and I particularly like the way the power is still usable at sensible road speeds.
Building bike, It’s just adult legos, I promise lol as for the welding now that is wizardry, James really is a professional and it take year to get that good at welding.

Haha yea I just wanted people to be able to chill and watch a bike build to a bit of musics instead of silence with the occasional ratcheting. Lol
I bet the rear shock linkage needs fresh grease after the clean up.
Yea it does need a once over with some lube, that simple green even though it sounds friendly it is one of my go to cleaners for tough jobs.
What a colossal job! Well done! Whats the torque on the bolts of the engine cover (where the stator is)
Nice job, love the cardboard approach for the casing bolts

That’s good repair
Thanks!
How did you disassemble the rear drive hub sprocket carrier? Thank you
With this build I actually did not need to do that, it was only the engine and stator cover that needed a full clean and add replacement parts
