Crankshaft position sensors are a very common problem with these bikes. Had one where the coil was a big fat blue/white spark and the other was a weaker purple like spark. The fault was with the big fat blue white spark surprisingly.

Typical man. Read instructions last! 🤣🤣🤣

Had three Triumphs over my life time. Would never own another. Waited for spare parts for more than 3-4 months. And I'm talking about basic commodity spare parts. Waited three months for an Accelerator cable for my Triumph Thunderbird. Just got sick of waiting everytime I needed something.

Beautiful

What’s the bike on the lift mate?

😎😎😎

Sadly the Kinchome one is sold out I would have grabbed one 😮

Good job woody you legend 🍻🍻🍻😎😎😎

not sure if your blade was dull or the machine is trash. maybe both

21mm is very important the set is a fail

Did the stainless steel hold up to no rust??

That's a definite improvement. My 2007 America has chrome panels there but the chrome is cracking/ bubbling in places so I have been planning to sand them down and respray. I have some expensive chrome paint but not sure how good it'll look, but if it's rubbish I'll go with black.

Hello Woody. I will have to look at mine because I find that I can't turn as tightly going left compared to right so maybe have some sort of ristriction. Keep up the good work.

Thanks Woody! Seems like a cracker for the price mate. Wife checking up on you?? 😅 Cheers knackers

I'm sorry that you are selling this and will give no more videos of the upgrades. Hope it went to a good home.

I have also fitted smaller brighter LED indicators. Yours are a definite improvement, as you suggested, the originals stick out too much. I took a slightly different route & replaced the relay then added diodes to the indicator warning light on the tank cluster but the end result is the same. I'm enjoying the videos - thanks.

Hi Woody. I have the 2007 version and love the bike but it does have unexpected issues. With your box, I think I'd maybe have removed it entirely (with a heatgun & saw) and fitted 2 external air filters straight to the carbs then tinkered with fuel/air on the carbs but it's horses for courses. I will watch your trials & tribulations with much interest & hope it's NOT a glimpse into my future. Good luck.

I like the micky mouse sign 👍🏻👍🏻😎

Got one of them sharpening gadgets too. I can’t shapen stuff well either. That gold knife is definitely a shelf queen mate can be dinging that up 😱

Good for a laugh I like it!

How’s the corolla going mate any issues?

Thanks for doing this mate really enjoy them 😊 Gee would have been great back when you were doing the land cruiser if this TH-cam business was around would have been a good watch!

Looks nicer than stock, but I always worry that cars won't see my signals, so I leave them big. What is the canister looking thing on the left side of your bike?

Got the honour of bringing a dog home from that market about 15 years ago. Old mate had a litter of cattle cross right at the front gate. I was a kid at the time mum and dad picked one out and said if he was there by the time we were done we would take him. Long story short he was the last one.

Looking good mate. Should get yourself a aircon in there to be able to work out there when it’s hot 😎👍🏻

Your shed is looking so good 😊❤

I'm a DIY car guy but have done all my own work on my own and family cars for almost 60 years. I still have my original 60s Sidchrome ratchet, and have never abused it but have also never opened it up. I just give it a bit of engine oil now and again and it still works as good as new.

I’m on my second speed master And you are spot on about where the key is A shit spot

I like mine, but I need to get some more of the Vessel brand "Go-sai" bits for it. They have quite a few different ones on Amazon for it. But, I really like my Vessel Impacta screwdrivers. They're great, I've got all 3 sizes of them now. Their quality for what I paid has made me a fan.

OMG

It's the temporary/permanent gear shift my buddy used to have on his bultaco dirt bike .

I’ve got one in a toolbox, handed down from my dad. I don’t know any history behind it, I only know that for me personally it’s not as effective as Vice-Grips. Trying to set the proper tension with that tiny thumb wheel is less user-friendly than the large wheel on Vise-Grips.

I have this screwdriver, love it ! I found another Japanese brand called Anex, I bought their ball grip ratcheting screwdriver which in my opinion is better, in 1 way, than the Vessell ratcheting screwdriver. To change the direction of the Vessell ratcheting screwdriver they have a rings under the ball section that you twist. I'm always inadvertently changing the direction when I'm using it.

I had bad runs after 10 of these... BAD

First buy a decent vice and then test it

My Aussie made Sid Ratchet, disassembly: take out circlip, push out centre, the pawl comes out by rotating the pawl 180 degrees, do that by pushing inside the ratchet head on one side of the pawl with a very small flat head screwdriver or other tool, there is a spring and ballbearing behind the pawl which will pop out when you rotate the pawl through 180, I guess grease the spring and ball on the back of the pawl but these are not sealed heads so grease not oil, being unsealed I guess regularly perform maintenance because they do fill up with crap, literally only 4 moving parts inside these heads.

Australian made Sidchrome ?

What was ratchet is now perfectly fine. Nice work 👍

This is basically the maintenance I do for the ratchet at my work. I work at a Biogas. And I found filling up the inside with anti seize paste, avoids me having to clean it inside out, every single time it has been in contact with water or slurry. Kept it alive for four years so far, vs the old one that only lasted a year. Sometimes a little maintenance once in a while, really do wonders.

Bloody helpful mate!

Interesting mate. When the drum is empty or at the end of day what happens as in how’s the drum cleaned? Is it filled with water and cleaned out? Or? Overtime is there much build up inside the drum?

You would really like the blue handled picquic called the super 8 plus, the bit holder flips over between 1/4" and 5/16" to use as a nut driver as well, and still has the spot to put a wrench on. Also comes with a valve stem remover in addition to all the ones that came with yours. I love mine, it's a space saver in my toolbag, especially since robertson screws are usually all I use and can never find a phillips, so having both handy is nice.

Looks like a nice beater knife.

Looks good mate handy for a small on the go tool kit of bag. I brought not long ago a big pack of Robertson wood screws I much perfer them over Phillips head. Whys everything Phillips must be a cost factor.

You seem to have mastered the opening technique. I may get one. My local hardware has them for $15.

Hey Woody, that was pretty easy! They are Ace Of Spades by Motorhead, Time Warp from Rocky horror and Jump by Van Halen. How do I claim my prize?

Still kicking mate any issues with it? Maybe a long term review video if you get the time?

Love these mate I’d love some but the price put me off. How often do you use them?

Due for another one of these mate please

Very cool
