- 1993 Triumph Trophy 3 900cc needs a new sprag clutch, Strip and rebuild, new upgraded sprag clutch fitted, This is just the way i do it and is filmed in real time and not edited,
Well done mate, you saved me from going bonkers trying to fault find my clutch. Lovely clear photography. Now if only Haynes manuals learned your style! Thanks a million!
Thank you so much, this is what the internet was made for, 👌🤟👍👏👏
Great video! That spacer getting lost in the gearbox would have been a nightmare.
Good video. For information, it's now possible to buy only the sprag clutch as an aftermarket part, instead of the entire assembly, which makes the job a lot cheaper and obviates the need to grind away part of the casing. You take apart the assembly by removing the external circlip which holds the thing with holes in it against the toothed wheel and this will allow access to the sprag. I purchased my new sprag from a shop in Dylaki, Poland which sells on ebay and it works fine
Hi mate, thanks for the information, would it be possible for you to share a link or a website with the part so I can look for it ? Many thanks buddy.
Excellent Video.......👍👍Just replaced my starter motor on my 1994 Trophy 3....Also had to remove a lot of parts to get to the starter motor 🏍🏍🏍
Well done great video well filmed and good voice to listen to.
Brilliant video. Thanks very much!
Did my 900 sprint l reg a few years back mine had the bigger one fitted already found that out after I stripped it down I was told it might have so best check before I bought the new sprag only prob I had was one of the 10mm bolts on clutch basket snapped I got it out put a new one in n put it all back together was my first one so felt well pleased with my self always make sure it has a fully charged battery Now because I was told that's wot weakens the sprag spring
Thanks for the video.I'm about to do mine over the next week or so.
The sprag on my Bonneville America is going soon. Do I need to buy the big gear and the freewheel bearing clutch? Or just the bearing clutch?
IS this the same engine and procedure to do in a Tiger 900??
If the tiger motor has the top access panel then it is the same engine and the same procedure, but like the trophy some had the other style engine without the top access panel and these motors had to be taken out of the frame and the engine cases split to do the sprag clutch,
Hi Pick, I have the 1995 model 900 sprint, and it doesn't have the removable cover over the sprag clutch, my engine has a loud knock from what seems to be the lower end, I've been told they are prone to breaking the bolt between the sprag and the alternator, is there any around splitting the engine?
I don't know of any way around splitting the cases, To be fair I have only done one where I had to split the cases, It's not difficult just time consuming.
Agree, great vid to make - seems to be the main achilles heel, with the early
Hinkley range, should be very useful for a lot of people! :-)
Still a problem on the newer trumpets
@@richardrichard5409 So I hear ... Disappointing that T haven't got a better grip on their design/quality. Sadly, because of this, I wouldn't touch one with a barge-pole > potentially worse to deal with, with the new stuff - as it's more complicated
@@kwakkers68 absolutely, I'll stick with Suzukis and V Stroms in particular 😎
Hi great video very grateful; hope you don't mind an odd query, what diameter was the bar you used? Would love to have the right one handy before I started working. Many thanks
Hi, the bar i use is 13mm brass bar
@@pick6667 many thanks thats very helpful appreciated.
great vid where did you buy the upgrade from and how much are they plz?
Hi Sean, The lad who's bike it was bought the parts and I think he got them from EBay, as to the cost I don't have the faintest idea sorry,
Great video mate. I am gonna have to do mine soon to get it back on the road so this should help quite a bit. Thanks
This is the job I never did. 20yrs ago, my'92 750 Trident broke its sprag just when I had zero spare money available! I couldn't even afford the replacement sprag. I ended up selling the bike off cheap to some guy.
Hmm, didn't Triumph do an electrical upgrade too? To allow the engine more revolutions before getting a spark?
Excellent video! Thanks for posting.
Whoever bought off on that idiotic design should be disposed of by scaphism. There's no excuse for it.
It baffles me. Later engine still has same weak spag AND NO COVER so it's even trickier :(
Dublin Street Gallery Wonksteps How is the later one repaired if there is no cover? Does the engine need to be removed? This has put me right off buying one of these. Thanks for a reply in advance 👍
@@listairgin The later ones without the cover have ta have the engine removed and the crankcases split to do the work,
Pick666 thanks very much for the reply, that is way too much work and it highlights the pathetic attitude of a certain design team. This fault throughout a range of very desirable motorcycles has blackened the Triumph name with my circle of friends. I really like the new model trophy 12se but I wouldn’t touch one as I wouldn’t trust Triumph after all the bullshit for years and years with the sprag troubles. Whoever was responsible for this accessibility flaw has done irreparable damage to Triumphs name. This is so annoying. Bastards is what they are! How this came about being signed off should be investigated.
@@listairgin Your view is very undaerstandable. Personally I love these bikes but would not touch a later example where the plate over the sprag doesn't exist any longer. Now that IS inexcusable, given the problem didn't go away and might just as easily surface. Having said that, these engines have shown that they can run over 100,000 miles with little if any major problem , if cared for , and set against other makes and designs this is a plus point. John Bloor didn't skimp and certainly built these bikes with in built over engineering, determined to draw a line under the old Meriden/ Small Heath triple, which iteself wasn't a poor design ( rather innvative actually, given the limited finances available for development), though variable in production quality.
Hey pick 666 where did you find the gaskets for the bike? I’m about to replace my starter clutch on a thunderbird 900 and having trouble finding gaskets for the top clutch cover
Hi, I think the gaskets were bought off Ebay, but if you can't find any you could buy some gasket material and make your own, gasket material isn't too expensive,
@@pick6667 hi mate. Do you do the sprag replacement for other people?
Thanks for your video! Sprag clutch for triumph 955 fits triumph 900? Where you bought your part?
what were the symptoms/noises leading up to the replacement?
Hi Ava, the bike made a metallic clanking sort of noise when trying to start it, also the sprag clutch would not always bite and would slip so that the engine would not turn over when trying to start it,
Is it the same proses for a 96 model? Cheers
Hi Chris, If your motor has the cover over the sprag clutch then the process will be the same,
Pick666 what’s the procedure if it’s the later type without the cover? Does the engine need to be removed? Thanks in advance for a reply 👍
@@listairgin Hi, yes the engine needs to come out and the crank cases split.
Pick666 thanks so very much for the reply, I had a very strong notion of buying a nice trophy 1200 but if I ever do now it will have to be the earlier one with the cover. I mean having to remove an engine and split crankcases to fix something that does apparently give trouble is absolutely pathetic, shame on whoever let this design through to production. Thanks for your reply and excellent and very well explained video. A lot of people will really benefit from it for sure. Just think of the man hours of removing the later type engine and then the nightmare of splitting it and rebuilding it again. Wow nightmare!!!
THANK YOU FOR THE LESSON
Excellent vid
