2021 Triumph Tiger 900 GT PRO - Wheels off and brake cleaning
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 30 апр 2022
- I had about 10,000 miles on my 2021 bike and although the tires could have made it longer, I am planning a 5,000 mile trip and didn't want to have to replace them in the middle of the trip.
Got new Metzler Roadtec tires from RevZilla, and has them mounted at Cycle Gear.

Thanks for showing how all of that stuff comes off! I've been wondering!
Great video. Very informative. Thanks for taking the time to make it 😊
Great review! Thanks for the tips and insights
Thank you for the informative video. I appreciate it.
Really helpful and informative video. Thank you.
Great vid. Thanks for taking the time and going into detail. One question, what is the jack lifting up on? Is it pushing up on the exhaust? it looks like you have the plastic belly pan as I do too so I'm curious what the jack is pressing against to lift the bike up? Thanks
You are welcome. The bike has most of its weight on the center stand. The jack pressing on the plastic tray really isn’t that much weight. You could easily hold that much by hand because the center stand is the pivot point. That is one reason why you have to make sure you don’t raise it TOO high, the bike will tip over backwards. You just want enough off to get the wheel out, but still leaving some weight on the skid plate.
@@jasonshortphd Thanks, I was afraid that was going to be the answer as I have a 2023 Tiger GTLow which does not have center stand. I'll have to figure out another way to raise the front. Thanks again!
Thank you for video sir. Where did you get that red hex tool that you lossen the pinch bolts etc with?
T handle hex. Got it from Amazon.

Jason thanks for the video, did you post all the torque specs anywhere? I’m doing tis same job tomorrow and will replace tyres on Friday.
The torque specs are in the text of the video. Click the little …more below the title and you will see them. Thanks for watching.
Got it thank you Jason
Hi, did you remove the rear brake pads before refitting the wheel and then refit them with the wheel back on the machine? I'm struggling refitting my wheel but I thought it said the wheel has to come off to change the pads. Thanks
The wheel does not have to come off to pull the pads. You can do it with it on. Disconnect the caliper and you can swing it off.
When I do have the wheel off I remove the caliper to make it easier to put the rear tire back on.
@@jasonshortphd thanks, will try again tomorrow.
Maybe a dumb question but what microphone did you use for the voiceover? I've been making a few vids of my Tiger 900 RP but my audio is terrible!
Its a Blue Yeti microphone. It sits on my desk, I can't get my in helmet or gopro audio to sound anywhere near as good!
@@jasonshortphd awesome thank you. I’ve heard about that microphone before so I guess it must be good. Might have to buy it :-)
Would a slightly taller front tire compensate for the speedo being 7-10% optimistic?
Good question, I honestly don’t know. Most Triumph measure at the rear wheel speed sensor. I haven’t actually checked the schematics on the Tiger 900. I have a Zumo XT mounted above the screen now and it has an accurate speed on it.
Good job!
Great vid, Jason. Super informative. Where did you get that caliber piston rotating tool?
I can’t seem to get my pads to retract back far enough and the pads are constantly rubbing on the disc. If I jack the front up and spin the wheel, the friction quickly slows it down. Mine doesn’t spin nearly as free as yours. Is there a way to lube those pistons? Or is the copper slip to help the pads retract? Sorry, that was a lotta questions. 😅 Great looking bike. Mines a ‘20 Rally Pro.
I got the "Motorcycle Brake Piston Pliers" off of Amazon. They are a great tool to rotate the pistons to help break up corrosion that builds up on them. And yes, it also causes them to not retract as well also.
There is no lube for them directly. They have rubber seals inside them caliper that are probably dirty. I pump them out almost all the way, use brake cleaner on the pistons and then push them back in a couple times.
The copper slip on the back of the pads helps with squeaking of the pads when you apply the brakes. They vibrate a little against the metal of the caliper.
The other thing that can impact retraction is water in the brake fluid. If you have a 20 you are past due for a brake fluid replacement (every two years). The fluid absorbs water from the air, and will become more "spongy" and stop working as well. It's easy to do as well. One bottle of brake fluid can do front and back.
Holy cow that was so much good info! Thank you so much, Jason, for that informative and super rapid reply. I really appreciate it. Happy riding!
I really like your Crash Bars. Where did you get those ?
Those are Hepco and Becker bars. They offer them in white finish. Really sets off the bike I think.
What kind of jack did you use, Where did position it on the bike?
Center stand plus a small scissor jack under the front skid plate.
How did Cyclegear do installing tires with the TPMS sensor?
No problem. Just tell them you have them. The sensors are still working fine.
@@jasonshortphd Is there any truth to the suggestion that once the batteries in the TPMS valves are dead you are looking at a near $300 repair to restore them (parts and labor)?
@@DaveDemase Once the batteries are dead you will have to remove the wheels and replace the batteries. That involves pulling off the tires. Personally I would just wait until my next tire change and do it then. It’s not hard to pull the tires, save yourself a bunch of that labor money.
@@jasonshortphd I didn't pose my question with enough detail. I was under the impression that the batteries were permanently integrated and not replaceable in the valve stem. So the entire valve stem with new batteries is required to be replaced in the repair incurring the bulk of the total cost above and beyond the wheel that has already been removed.
@@DaveDemase Haven’t heard that. Not sure on the lifespan of those batteries. If they are typical lithium ion, probably 3-5 years. I would still probably just run without them until the next tire change. Maintenance happens on all bikes :)
How do you like that Sargent seat? Comfortable for long distance?
I have done three week long rides with the bike. That seat is awesome. It has a little cut out for your man parts in the front, so they don’t get smashed on long rides. I honestly hate the seat on my BMW now as a result. Getting off the bike with your boys smashed now bugs me a lot. Ha ha.
So yes, I love the seat. Just hit 14,000 miles with it.
@@jasonshortphd good to know!! Been torn between that and the Corbin
Don't have to take off speed sensor from front to remove the front wheel.
Which Scottoiler unit did yo7 run
It’s not a scottoiler. It’s a Tuturo. No power and no vacuum. It works from the swingarm movement.
Do you have to remove the breaks to remove the tire?
Yes the calipers have to come off.
Tool for removing front axle? And where does one find the tool? Thanks

What are the torque specs? Don’t see them in any notes
They are listed in the text description for the video.
Can you feel very hot whe you are commuting?
I live in an area of the country that doesn’t get very hot. So I do not get very hot on my bike. But I know others who live in warmer places have said the heat on the right hand side bothers them.
Do you have the torque specs?
It’s listed in the description for the video.
