Bike isn't old enough yet for its 1st MoT. From what I understand, db is not checked as part of the test. Don't hold me to that though, I will need to check it out before my test is due

I know where you are coming from and agree that suitable chain cleaner would be preferred. There is a mixture of opinions on whether WD is safe to use on rubber and orings. WD say it is, but is that just a sales pitch? Lots of other sources say it is not, but is that founded/factual? Maybe worth a diy test over time to see. In any case, It was all I had in the garage and the contact time was minimal, only used to degrease followed by a wipe down and lube with chain oil.

@@The_Scottish_Biker I'd probably do the same myself.

Brilliant. Thanks for the sub. I will check your channel out. Roll on the better weather

@The_Scottish_Biker Thanks bud, appreciate it & yeah better weather would be great amazing roads you have there & don't seem to be too congested, or was it just a lucky ride

@@SwenglishSteve650 we have a lot of great routes. The standard of the roads varies, like anywhere it depends where you go. This particular route gets super busy in the summer. I got it on a good quiet autumn day. One of my favourites though as the views as you come down through the hills is amazing.

more of a pain that the original spring clips no longer fitted than it was stretching the hose.

I wouldn’t go as far to say it was a ‘direct’ fit, but it was given no choice.

@The_Scottish_Biker sorry big man I was fuckin with you , you're right by the way that chineseium shite is why I left the motor trade

@@nickaxe771 EP90 Gear oil? Is it not sticky and messy when it comes to dirt?

@@The_Scottish_Biker No idea mine is a road bike...to me its far less sticky that the spray on lube. Any fling onlt my wheel and there is not much easy wipes off....not like spray on stuff.

@@haggiswhisperer getting a wee bit too nippy now 🥶

I measure it as 8 inch. I was told these bars were from a USA export T140

Hi m8 thanks for the response just saw your video there unfortunately all the American imports seem to be 7/8" diameter mines are 1" I'll look around sure I will be able to get ones to fit

Thanks for the comment and the sub. The forums can be a wealth of knowledge. Sometimes its the simplest things that give us the biggest problems.

Hi Steve, glad you enjoyed it. I have seen a couple of springer seat kits. Im not sure I like the look and i dont really want to mess with my seat again whilst I have the lights mounted to it. The ride is ok with the upgraded shock and the custom gel seat.

@ ah sweet , it’s always good to hear that the shock and gel seat are a win on the comfort level as well as keeping the back end planted to the road. As for the CoC Customs you may want to give it a peek. Keep the vids coming.

Thanks. I aim to please 😂

Yes, it certainly is not in an easy place to get to. Poorly designed imo. Thats a tough question to answer. Very different bikes. I love the Bobber, every ride makes me smile, but the T100 is more versatile and much comfier. So both have their place.

Brilliant. Thanks for the sub and good luck with the bike.

We could all do with a much bigger garage. Problem is, the bigger it gets, the more s?!t we fill it with 😂

I am sure I know what you are getting at, care to elaborate for others reading?

@The_Scottish_Biker Trying to start the bike with a low battery will allow the engine to "kick back" inevitably destroying the sprag clutch bearing

@@benlynch3783thought that was where you were going with it. In this case the engine was not turning at all, so it wasn’t getting as far as the starter rotating or clutch engaging. You are right though and have given me an idea of some content to include in my next vid though.

That sounds like a terrible experience, especially with a new bike.

You are not wrong. I have a cheap one also, does the job. A failed battery is probably the most wrongly diagnosed component.

👍🏽 Its a likely culprit. New video on my diagnosis coming soon.

Awesome. Where are you?

@@The_Scottish_Biker I'm in a place callled Guetersloh, south of Hamburg :)

I was working in Bremerhaven, though went to Hamburg a couple of times.

@@The_Scottish_Biker Bremerhaven is about the same distance as Hamburg, from where I am.

I cannot confirm or deny 🤣 maybe producing my own battery water

Thanks for the feedback all the way from NZ.

Greetings from West Ak. I’ve got a Matt Black T120.

@@The_Scottish_Biker. 🇳🇿 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿Awesome content and channel.

Thanks for the sub. Great looking bikes. Not the comfiest, but at least you look cool 2

Thanks. I appreciate the feedback. The channel has been quiet for a while but I am back this week. Check it out.

Thanks for the feedback. It is appreciated. The channel has been quiet for a while but i am back in action this week. Check it out. Let me check on the sensor and I will get back to you.

@@The_Scottish_Biker cheers mate! The information you provided helps tons of T100 owners~ look forward to your future videos

Not due its 1st MOT until late next year. My understanding is that a loud exhaust is not an MOT failure. Happy to stand corrected though.

@@The_Scottish_Biker Aye, my flat twin boxer 1200 GSA decatted with a custom straight thru 2 into 1 got through okay but that was a few years ago now. I was wondering whether the rules had changed and they check for emissions now. All the best and keep the vids coming !

I took my T100 in earlier this year and they didnt look at the exhaust or measure noise. Not that it is loud anyway. I do have a mate with a ridiculously loud ducati and he hasnt had any problems…. Maybe depends on who does the MoT 😂

Thanks for the feedback....the further my videos are reaching, the more I am hearing that :)

@@The_Scottish_Biker Dont change a thing love the vids! Been having the same issues with my bike 1 cylinder dropping in and out and the engine suddenly quitting. checked and replaced everything except the coil pickup at this point that has to be it. 2 weeks away got one on order hopefully it sorts this machine out !

I appreciate that, thanks. Ive not posted anything for a while. Life gets in the way. More to come soon though. Good luck with the repair.

He speaks Scottish, Brits speak versions of English, you speak Canadian, I speak American. Some people think we all speak English. BWAAHAHAHA I had to strain a bit listening to him. No problem. Great video.

@@davidkeeton6716English, a language of many dialects and accents 😂

Thanks for the feedback, and good luck with the bike mods. Even youtube subtitles cant understand me 😂

I dont have a video showing them but thats a good idea. They are very visible and very bright for their size.

Pipes are hitchcox short drag. I have the xpipe on aswell. If I al honest its ridiculously loud. Great for showing off… not so much for long rides

@@The_Scottish_Biker thank you sir

I tightened everything to spec. Sorry I cant remember what the torque values are off the top of my head. I couldn’t find any definitive values from Triumph so I used generic torque values for the size of the bolt. A quick google search will give you a chart with values for different sizes. It is always tempting to go that little extra and over torque but you run the risk of ocer stretching the bolt, weakening it, and possible snapping it. Good luck with the new bars.

Thanks. That is an interesting find. I will have a play about with that, could be very useful

Its been a while since i ordered it, i think it was smoke grey or something like thar

No worries, glad to be of help. I wear this shirt a lot and really like it, I just wish it was a few inches longer as I feel like the bottom of my back is exposed. Made for short people I think. I al 6’ 1”

I bet they loved that

Ignition position sensor. Have a look at my other videos and you will see from when it failed, to how I diagnosed it.
