Definitely. I dont actually own any rollers (could do with for the front wheel as that can be a pain to lift). More videos coming soon as I need to service rear end bearings, will the stand for that.
Hi Jeremy, I have never tried with the wheel on the ground. With it off it has the advantage that you can easily check at multiple points. I suspect it would work with wheel on ground, but will be harder to turn, and I would recommend getting a friend to hold up the bike so you dont drop it.
Hi Jeremy, without riding both first its hard to say. A larger front sprocket will mean that you can go faster in first gear, but slower acceleration, so that might mean it's less twitchy as the engine cannot jerk it forwards as easily. On the other hand, it means you need to be more delicate with your throttle, as the same increment of throttle will mean a larger speed difference. With an torquey engine like a 1050, this could be quite noticeable. The other thing to consider is, 1 tooth of difference on the front will make a larger gearing difference than 1 tooth on the rear. Rear is also easier to change, so i would experiment on the rear, as 1 tooth on front is a big change . There is not an easy answer, but my bike needs a delicate hand in first gear on slow speed riding too. I have kept stock gearing. I believe they use longer gearing on the newer ones, maybe you could get a test ride at Triumph?
Cool video thanks for the explanation, could not see how to get to that slack adjustment spot from the manual. Did you have to assemble that "c-spanner" tool? Mine appears to have come in two pieces on the 2019 speed triple rs, but no way to attach the handle to the tool without drilling a hole through it or something.
Hi Sasha, glad it was useful! Yes the C-Spanner comes in two parts, but the handle just slides over the end of the C, it doesn't stay together. I guess its just for easy storage
Hi Josh, the C Spanner comes with the bike, might be tucked under the seat. If you cannot find, best bet is probably eBay. For the manual, I use a Haynes manual (easy to find on amazon or eBay)
Hi Kevin, do you mean the wheel, or the tire from the wheel? I will be making a wheel removal very shortly as I have a job planned - but I send it to a tyre shop for tyre replacement, as I dont have the equipment to bead and balance it at home :)
@@edutainment5431 The whole wheel assembly. I ended up figuring it out. Thanks. On another topic, I believe my Throttle Position Sensor is on the fritz. The bike seems to hesitate at coast throttle. Care to share some info?
No this won't affect that, its routine maintenance to keep drivetrain reliable. To adjust seat height (unless can find a less padded seat) generally you would have to adjust suspension, but need caution as changing the geometry affects handling and potentially safety.
Great video. Very clear and easy to understand. Fixed my t595
Thanks man I was thinking it was going to be a pain in the ass, just got a speed triple. Love it
Easy on a single sided swingarm, and will extend your chain life. Will get a vid out on chain and sprocket when mine wears out 👍 enjoy your new bike
i love your videos about the speed triple
Just ordered this stand from watching your videos - I was looking at the cheap rollers, this seems like the way to go.
Definitely. I dont actually own any rollers (could do with for the front wheel as that can be a pain to lift). More videos coming soon as I need to service rear end bearings, will the stand for that.
its abba superbike right?
Great video, clearly explained!
Good how-to. Thanks for posting.
Thank you ! Nice vidéo 🙏👍
Great info man, straight to the point and informative. Side note, anybody ever tell you that you sort of look like a young Lee Mack?
Thanks! They haven't, but now you mention it I can see the resemblance 😅
Cuales son las medidas de la llave en C que mi moto no la trae🙏🏼
Hi mate does the wheel have to be off the ground and turning?

Is it correct if I use a larger sprocket in the front the low speed (10-20kmh) jerkiness & throttle snatch goes away?

@@edutainment5431 Ok interesting, thanks.
Haynes manual states 35-40mm, but the Triumph owners handbook states 40-50mm? Mostly on the forums they state 35-40mm too? So which is correct?
Hello, my Haynes says 35-40 up to VIN461331 and 21-30mm for above. My service manual agrees with 35-40, maybe 40 to 50 is a later model or misprint?
Where can I get a manual for the 2009 speed triple? Also, what size c spannar should I use?
Hi Josh, the C Spanner comes with the bike, might be tucked under the seat. If you cannot find, best bet is probably eBay.
For the manual, I use a Haynes manual (easy to find on amazon or eBay)
C spanner under your seat in tool kit
Awesome video. Do you have a video on rear tire removal 2000 Sprint st 955i?

Does this lower the seat height?
No this won't affect that, its routine maintenance to keep drivetrain reliable. To adjust seat height (unless can find a less padded seat) generally you would have to adjust suspension, but need caution as changing the geometry affects handling and potentially safety.
Hey mate, what kind of stand is that?
Hi MJ, its an Abba abbastands.co.uk/
Definitely recommend, easy to use and very sturdy.
My man u have a typo in the title it's chain not change
Cheers Mike, my mistake, corrected
