Hi Stuart: Very helpful Video! I was actually watching this one because I needed to remove my T120 rear wheel for a tire change and had a little confusion on the caliper removal. Video answered my question and everything after that went well - Thanks!. But, I do have a question concerning your comment at the 9:24 mark where you said to tighten the Axel nut to 85 Nm. Haynes manual states 110 Nm as does the T120 owners manual. In your "Triumph Bonneville T120, HOW TO ADJUST YOUR CHAIN!" video November 24, 2017 you had a comment that you thought that 110 Nm was excessive. Is the 85 Nm a personal preference or is there a difference between the Axel nut torque specs for the T100 and the T120? Regards
You have me doubting myself now Thomas. Purely from recollection the air cooled t100 2010 model, rear axle nut is 85nm as stated. The 2016 LC T120 is 110 mms I'm sure the values ive given are correct.
What threw me for a loop after watching your video when servicing the rear brakes were the plastic caps stuck on the Rear disc bolts that were not mentioned. I thought my bike's fasteners were rivets. In my opinion even the Haynes manual does not go into enough detail for us over on this side of the pond. It does mention to "prise" these caps off (Chapter 6, Illustration 4.3). In North America "prise" is not a word we would ever use or understand, "pry" would have been more appropriate for us colonials. Well I learned two things today.
Hello again! Love your videos! I have a random question about this video. I'm am in the market to buy a new Torque Wrench and was just wondering what kind you use? Is it a digital or analog wrench? Thank you in advance!
I never understood why the rear caliper is in that spot and I think Motone has a creative solution. Unfortunately, I didn't see a similar bracket for the T-120 :-(
Nice video. I’m sure there are lots of triumph owners out there that would like to get involved but might not have the experience/confidence and for whom this is very helpful. Giving the torque values is great.
Does Triumph have a problem relating to squeaking front brakes/ Callipers ? Owners I have met have said this can be an issue. On a recent test ride of a relatively new 1200 bike I did experience this problem. The dealer denied any problems with any Triumphs they have sold. Can you comment please.
Brilliant explanations and detail. these vids will run for years. Makes me want a bike like this to play with. Not brave enough to tell the missus yet though
Great Video Stuart. Have a question on your choice of SS brake lines. Why did you choose the HEL brake lines? There appears to be a few on the market now, eg Spiegler . I have heard of some that have failed rather quickly and others are twice the price of HEL. Looking forward to your comments as the one on my '09 are original and the manual says you are supposed to replace them every 4 years.
Hi Paul hel performance are a well respected name, and I personally have never heard a bad word about them. Looking at them they seem excellent quality we will see what happens!
Hel are excellent and will make to your spec. I’ve had a few, as have friends and many forum acquaintances. Never a bad word said or heard against them. It’s the default quality choice.
@@stuartfillingham7011 Thanks for the speedy reply. I have been creating my shopping list for parts I need and things I want to do to my bike while the snow is flying and it is -20C outside. You literally just saved me over $100 USD by posting this video today. Thanks!
Always with excellent language, explaining in detail all of your work!! One question is their a specific part number from HEL for the rear up & over caliper position or is it the stock OE PN?
I love the fact you do all of these videos dressed better than I would be to go down the pub. No gloves, coveralls or safety net in any of your performances Stuart. Classic!!
I've never had a problem with my rear caliper as far as wear goes ('02 T100, 28,000 miles); I did forget to torque the mounting bolts fully once after replacing the rear tire, found that out near the end of a 400-mile ride when one of them backed out. The HH pads alone make a noticeable difference in brake performance, did mine a few years ago, new discs and brake lines coming up soon.
I was refering to deterioration of the calliper from being exposed to the elements mr Rider, not wear! I agree regarding the HH pads, have used them for many years!
Fair enough, I suppose I wasn't clear, but I haven't experienced undue deterioration either; possibly it's partly due to the climate difference, I imagine it's a bit more damp there than here!
no Greg still the same one, but I think it is on its last legs after nearly 200 videos! although this has been uploaded in Dolby surround sound which may have changed to profile, dont normally use it, was just an experiment!

@@stuartfillingham7011 That explains it...Totally lost track that it was the air cooled and not the liquid cooled bike. Thanks for the reply!
Great instructive video, many thanks Stuart.

They are working on one Wayne.
As always excellent thank you very much. Very thourgh, an amimated workshop manual. I'm so great ful

well I recommend every owner should get themselves a Haynes manual Steve, these are not difficult jobs, well within the capability of most people!
stuart fillingham Absolutely. And with videos like these on hand it shows the process to those that have never done anything like it before.

They did but its supposed to have been rectified now!
stuart fillingham - dealer responds - when bikes are standing outside dealership corrosion occurs.(even on new ! )
Brilliant explanations and detail. these vids will run for years. Makes me want a bike like this to play with. Not brave enough to tell the missus yet though
Thank you Stuart - great video as always and a very worthwhile modification. I do hope Motone have plenty of relocator brackets in stock!
Extremely appreciate the return of the T100 videos! Thanks again and cheers.
Does this relocator works for triumph t100 Lc?
no but I believe they have one in development.

Ah thanks for the confirmation Steve.@@hollowaysteve
Great video Stuart, and always a good soundtrack choice.
A worthy upgrade! I bought one but didn’t get to fit it before I sold the bike.
Nicely explained - thanks.
Fantastic video Stuart! 👍😎🏍🇬🇧
Always with excellent language, explaining in detail all of your work!! One question is their a specific part number from HEL for the rear up & over caliper position or is it the stock OE PN?
* part number for the up and over position brake hose line from HEL that is.....sorry for not detailing!! Stay safe!! And thank you
Hello Stuart, Love the video. relocating the rear calliper makes lots of sense. Any plans regarding the exhaust system yet ?? Cheers
Nothing decided as yet sir!
I love the fact you do all of these videos dressed better than I would be to go down the pub. No gloves, coveralls or safety net in any of your performances Stuart. Classic!!
LOL its the way ive always done it Nige!
Top quality video, concise and waffle free. Have a well deserved 'like' Stuart.
Thank you Dave.
Should you notify the insurance about this brake modifications?
no Terry, just as you dont have to when you change a tyre, oil, bulbs etc.
Hi Stuart, looks like a useful mod to do, do you know if Motone will be doing one for the T120
in development!

Hi Stuart. Sounds like you have changed your recording microphone. 😉
As always, thanks for video 👍

Still vary good and informative as always.
Thanks for the reply sir
Great video Stuart. Thinking about doing a relocate on my T-120.
motone have one for the T120 on the way Delane!
@@stuartfillingham Will be looking for it!
Well done.
Do they do a bracket for the T120?
I believe they have one in the late stages of development!
@@stuartfillingham Thanks Stuart. I'll keep an eye out. What your thoughts on the new Speed Twin? I'm tempted to trade my T120 this summer?
You make it look easy Stuart .
Thats because it is easy Michael!
