Thanks for the nice video ! As always, a lot of usefull informations and tips. Your years of experience can be felt throughout the video.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Much appreciated. Very, very informative. This job is to be done in my near future so I'll be giving it another view!
Very very helpful, many thanks!
Thank you, very well done video and good close ups
Great video, just recently found your channel and working my way through the back catalogue of videos. Loving them so far
Awesome. Thanks for your support.
Well done sir!
Nice video...just fitted the same handsome chain with new sprockets to my T7! As well as good looking the bike rides much more smoothly! Cheers, Steve
Yes it does feel smoother. I thought it was just my imagination.
Love your videos keep them coming all the best
Thanks 👍
Been waiting for this video, thanks for a well explained tutorial
Thanks Alan. Glad you enjoyed it! I'm delighted with the new chain.
totally excellent, thanks
Thanks Cal. I hope the video was helpful. The new chain is ace - every time I park up the bike I have to step back and admire it.
Another excellent video
Thanks for your support Gary
Great video good attention to detail and use of correct tools. Not 20 minutes of unwrapping. On a lighter note way back in time the old guys used to renew the chain but turn the rear sprocket around if possible to save money.
Thanks for your support Colin. I remember the sprocket turning days. Not that I would have done so, but this one would not be reversable, as it has a slight offset. It would need shimming to get the alignment correct.
The same gentleman used to tack weld big end and main end nuts. One reason I never purchased a bike from him.
Hi, great video 👍 seeing all the "crud" around the front sprocket area I wondered whether you've ever used the water based degreaser "Bilt Hamber Surfex Hd" which I've been using for a couple of years. I use it regularly to clean my chain/front sprocket areas, it's pleasant to use and very effective. I use it at 10% dilution which is all that is necessary to clean these areas. Also use it as a pre-wash at 5%. A very cost effective product and as I mentioned much nicer than solvent based products. Keep up the good work 👍
I have tried a few different water based degreasers, but have never heard of this one. I'll look out for it. Might make a good video to compare a few!
does the front wheel also need 27mm to remove the wheel?
You need a large Allen wrench for the front axle. I use a universal, stepped tool that is widely available. Google "motorcycle axle hex tool"
Please, I was hoping you will show how to tension that chain. My one is loose and I’m bit worried to do it myself. I know you make instruction videos only when you need to do this to your bike but you did have to tension that chain so please don’t let me down 😃
OK. Next time I do that job I'll record it.
Hi! I am sorry for asking if you have already covered this topic, but curious if you have done de-cat or considering low exhaust? Heat is a bit much, especially in the 40 plus days in the US
Not done decat, but I may do so - look out for future videos!
Great video! As a Scrambler 1200 XE owner, I appreciate them. Not sure if mentioned in previous comments but could you supply the manufacturer and part numbers for the chain and sprocket set? Thanks from Canada!
Hi Darren. Details are in the video description.
i have a new 2022 Triumph Scrambler 1200XC, it only one month old, but there was a tiny oil leak coming from that front sprocket area.
if you look at you video at the 20:53 when you have the front sprocket exposed, to the right of that you have some oil built up on a plate with two screws.
What is that plate for?
Is it possible that oil can leak out of that plate ????
look at 12:53
I’m thinking my mine is leaking from there but i don’t know what that plate is for. i’m also thinking if i tighten those two screws it may stop the leaking.
The oil that is leaking out looks like motor oil. it is gold color and clear.
That's not an oil leak. It's oil off my chain. I lube the chain with chainsaw oil, which flings off and collects under the front sprocket cover.
@@SongsFromTheSaddle: i took the panels off, cleaned it all nice nice.
it was spotless. went for a ride, and there a small leak coming from the the back of the sprocket.
unfortunately it is not the chain lube.
Hey mate, great video but I am wondering if you can link or give the name of the rear stand that you use please?
I bought it at a bike show for £30.
Hi Simon,
A very enjoyable watch. At what mileage should you be changing your chain and sprockets please?
It all depends on how you ride and how well you look after it.
@@SongsFromTheSaddle Well I ride my T100 pretty hard and I am constantly cleaning and lubing the chain. I’m changing it anyway in the next few weeks for a goldy looking chain. Not the sprockets though.
What is your opinion on changing the tooth ratio? I'm thinking of dropping one on the front for some better acceleration.
I'm happy with the standard gearing, otherwise I would have changed it at this opportunity
I had the earlier Scrambler and went up to 19T (from memory) as I was forever searching for a sixth gear. I often feel Triumphs are too low geared. Same with my Street Triple.
@@SongsFromTheSaddle I want to change the gearing on my XE, the chain and a front 17t sprocket are easy to find, I’m struggling with finding the rear in the right pattern though. A black 41 or 42t would be ideal. Any leads appreciated. Would you advise trying the front sprocket first, or replacing all three parts together is the only way (current set up has 4600 miles on it). Many thanks
How many kms did u manage before the change?
16,000km
Great video. I see you moved to more traditional street tread tires? Can you give us the brand/tire model? Thanks Dale
Hi Dale. I made a could of separate videos about the tyres.
The nut on the front sprocket, is that a standard thread? I.e lefty loosey!
Yep
I know you’ve said you’ll only do shop videos as the need arises. But I have taken my own wheels off for a tire replacement. I cannot for the life of me get the rear wheel back on. Is there any tip, trick, advice, or video you can share with me to help?
Sorry to hear that Adam. It can be fiddly getting everything aligned. I can offer a few tips: Spread the brake pads to given more room to get the disk in - you can do this gently with a tyre lever or large screw driver; back the chain tensioners right off, so you can get the spindle in with the chain very slack; Get a few small bits of wood to push under the wheel and support it when you have the wheel aligned; lube the spindle with some grease so it slides through easily. Lastly, be patient - sometime is takes a few attempts to get everything aligned.
