  • This is the way I clean and lube my chain, The result of 30+ years of carrying out this task has I believe resulted in possibly the best possible method!
    I will keep you informed on the performance of the Muc off dry chain lube in a few hundred miles!

    Jesus, it all looks such a pain in the arse. That looks like an all day job just to clean the chain. I haven’t got that time. I’d rather ride. And how many products! Don’t get me wrong I love the channel and the instruction is great and I love the pristine look of your bikes.

    Hi Stuart, I too, like Mark below but somewhat later down the road, have only recently discovered your channel and I completely agree with what he has written. After starting my riding 'career' in 1973 on chain driven bikes (using them literally all year round - no car) to commute to and from work and remembering the nights when I'd come home and then have to strip the chain off and heat up a round tin of chain oil/grease and soak them over night, (and then put it back on in the morning), in the late eighties I 'saw the light' and since then have ridden shaft drive bikes. However, just recently I have purchased a Bonneville Speedmaster (previously a Pan European) and put the 'fun' back in my biking! Over the intervening years chains have progressed and the range of products now on the market to keep them in good condition has mushroomed; the choice is huge and this is where your excellent thoughts and advice are a God send as are alot of the other topics you cover..... Apart from anything else, I love your accent and manner of delivery and reminds me very fondly of an old work colleague who came from Airmyn near Goole and with whom I'm still in contact. I digress. Thank you and keep up the great work! 😀

    @chrisheggie952 6 ปีที่แล้ว +3

    Thanks, meticulous as always. Just one thing. When drying the chain off with the cloth I find it safer to always rotate the chain towards the drying hand as the way you have shown it there is a chance you may grip it firmly enough that the pinky gets caught in the chain/sprocket - ouch! I did it once, but never again...

      stuart fillingham..so Much better then the Motul products I was using previously but I clean my chain every 350km or at the end of my ride if it's longer than that anyway. Motul (being sticky) had advantages if caught in the rain....and there is a rainy season we are currently in.

    Given that I'm new to the world of biking, and I fell in love with the Bonneville's before getting my license, I have viewed a lot of your videos.
    Now that I got myself a Bonneville T100 865 ccm fro 2008, I now need to learn a lot about maintenance. Here you also have a lot of videos :)
    But it requires some time to find all of the, if I have found all of them ;) Could you do a video, where you mention and short explains all the thing that one need to look after / take care of?
    Kind regards from Denmark :)

    I will need to use my internet google degree to find some from somewhere.
    Love the video for a newbie like me I have watched this a hundred time, thanks Stuart for such a great video...again. (Maybe a playlist of How to's for Dummies of Triumph Maintenance)

  • @daveharriman2756
    @daveharriman2756 7 ปีที่แล้ว +3

    Very interesting and informative Stuart, my biking experience goes even further back, nearly 50 years, in those days the thing to use was 'Linklife' It came in a can that you put on the stove, in which you immersed your chain.
    when the molten wax or whatever it was inside the tin cooled down, you then removed the chain and refitted to the bike. very messy! if you forgotten it was on the gas ring it would stink the kitchen out, and your Mum would go crazy!
    Of course that was before o ring chains, and no Muc off - just Gunk, which left the bike smelling like an engineering shop!
    happy days! I'm sure these modern products are far better, anyway, always look forward to your videos, keep 'em coming
    cheers, Dave

    • @stuartfillingham
      @stuartfillingham  7 ปีที่แล้ว

      Bloody hell Dave! you don't look old enough! Yeah I remember that well, although I wasn't allowed to do it in the house, my mum made me do it outside on a camps stove! lol I used to hang it on the washing line to cool down and let the excess drip off in to the tin below. I have to admit chains do last a lot longer these days with those O rings I only used to get a year out of a chain before it have stretched to much, mind you I did 12000+ miles a year in those days! Thanks for watching !

    Stuart, I’ve checked recently about the GT85 issue in the States, and it does seem that since I last worked in a bicycle shop there was a liscencing issue or something with GT85 and 8t is no longer imported. I went ahead and tried the MO94 as a substitute and it seems to be a good replacement. Shined up the engine and chassis, and should protect pretty well. I got it directly from Muc Off, as well as the bike cleaner. They still don’t show all their motorbike products available in the States, I would really like to try more of them. Hopefully they will get them soon.

  • @hopgood007
    @hopgood007 7 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Hey Stuart. Hope all is well with you. Another fabulous video that had been eagerly anticipated all week. I've used the Muc-Off chain lube for a while now and certainly on my T120 from new. As you know I do around 250 miles a week commuting and I haven't had that problem from the 'quasi' front sprocket cover (bike has done 1700 miles so far). Hopefully it's the quality of the Muc-Off chain lube! Thankyou so much again for all your hard work producing these glorious videos...even after 33 years of biking they are certainly opening my eyes and adding a new dimension to the care of my lovely T120. All the very best sir and looking forward to next week.

    • @stuartfillingham

    • @hopgood007
      @hopgood007 7 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Pretty much what you've already covered except that I have never had the black gunge build up from it. First use it on my CB650F and carried i over to the T120. I have found that it seems to clean off easier than other brands and is definitely anti-fling. I like the longevity of Muc-Off products and they just seem to have that edge on quality. Would certainly recommend it. Will stick some pics of my chain on your FB feed.

    • @stuartfillingham
      @stuartfillingham  7 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Good feed back thanks Paul! yeah I think the black gunge is a product of the Castrol or an earlier product I tried. Muc off suggested that their dry Lube might solve the problem or at least slow it down! I do prefer chain wax to liquid lubes it seems far less messy!
      Will look forward to the photos!

    @thematchboxcollector ปีที่แล้ว

    GT85 was developed by a Tech in the Royal Air Force. ACF50 is another alternative, however it is no longer used for motorcycle detailing. And XCP is now used instead. However each product is not supposed to be used on painted metals. Which sadly a lot of so called motorcycle detailers do via an airbrush system.

    Uncle Stu, thank you for this and your other great videos! Apologies if you've answered elsewhere (I've checked but cannot find it), but here goes: for regular lubing (when a chain cleaning is not happening), do you remove the chain guard, or, do you apply the lube to the back of the rear sprocket? Or, is there another tip?

  • @jfro5867
    @jfro5867 5 ปีที่แล้ว

    Hi Stuart, i have always used scottoilers. Once installed and set up you never need to touch them again and your chain always has a light coating of clean gear oil. Saves all the fling and gathering of muck you highlighted.

    • @stuartfillingham
      @stuartfillingham  5 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      I tried them back in the 80s but found them a bit messy, though I hear they are much better now. To be honest I rather enjoy the chain maintenance ritual, not sure what that says about me!

    Fortunately I have a Harley certified tech with tons of experience and he left dealership and took his tools with him. He does my stuff for cash at home workshop for A third of the price and has never messed anything up. I go buy parts at Harley dealership and he replaces them. Actually it’s family that owns dealership. We keep it on the down low to avoid more fighting in family😂

    Hi Stuart, as a T120 new owner (about a month now) I really find your videos useful. I live in Sweden. I wanted to ask you about third party sellers of Triumph parts that I can order myself online, my local Triumph dealer is happy to bleed me off my money just to order a simple add -on that I can mount myself. Any tip appreciated!!

  • @davidmain3
    @davidmain3 6 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    @linesmachine 6 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Hi Stuart, love the channel and style, very good viewing and useful tips. I've just switched to a 2017 T100 and am back to chain cleaning. What is the best tool (and size of) to remove the chain guard. Is it a standard Allen key or Torx? I don't do much more maintenance myself than chain cleaning so don't need a comprehensive kit and just want the tools I need - hence the request.

    • @stuartfillingham
      @stuartfillingham  6 ปีที่แล้ว

      They are allen bolts sir, cant remember the size off hand, just get your self a set of them, they are not expensive. the one tucked behind the right hand side panel might actually fit!

  • @HeadhunterUK007
    @HeadhunterUK007 7 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Another great video Stuart. How about a ScottOiler? It uses a light oil that I doubt would cause this gunk problem around the T120's sprocket cover. Given the frequency Triumph recommend lubing the chain it could be a much better solution for the bike. Check with ScottOiler and Triumph before committing to buy of course as I haven't checked compatibility.

    • @stuartfillingham
      @stuartfillingham  7 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Hi, had a scotoiler back in the 80s and found it to be rather messy! I'm sure the latest generation is probably much better but quite happy with my weekly lubing ritual for now!

    @smirnaft 6 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Hi Stuart. I have been enjoying your videos and although I do understand how you can like the ritual of cleaning the bike and chain for that matter, for me as an everyday rider in all conditions I would recommend people to use a pro-Oiler as I have been doing the last 3 years. I just fill the reservoir now and then and my chain needs no cleaning or replacement for the next 30000 km or even more.
    I would recommend it, but I would surely look forward too you reviewing one.
    Keep up the good work with those beautiful Triumphs you’ve got there.

    Hi again Stuart.... Only product I can find here in Australia is WD40 dry lube spray with PTFE so have bought that and have sprayed my Thruxton, hopefully that will work OK. I cannot find any suppliers of Muc - Off products or GT85 here.

    • @stuartfillingham
      @stuartfillingham  7 ปีที่แล้ว

      Hi Paul let me know how you get on with the WD40 it may be a similar product to GT85 as they are now one and the same company. Its strange how you use products for years and assume its available everywhere then discover its only available to a very narrow market! thanks for watching!

    Awesome video. Kudos!
    New Bonnie T120 owner here. I recently cleaned and lubed the chain on my bike, but I did not use the paper wall before spraying the lube on the chain as you did. So, my rear tire and wheel has lube guck now. I am now wondering if I should use Goo Gone (US) or just gentle soap water to clean both. I would highly appreciate your response. Thanks!

    • @stuartfillingham

      Hello I do have a video planned for the matt detailer but I need a matt bike in order to actually do it! I have made some arrangements with a friend but not been able to get anything organised with his busy schedule, please bear with me!

    Very good video! Thank you for the hint with 2 wheel revolutions per 1 chain revolution. I was overdoing it in the past. I'll take a look behind my sprocket cover today, after 5000 I'm curious. I'm using the same muc-off chain wax, it's great. Who doesn't love the banana smell after all? The only difference with my cleaning I use 100% kerosene in the spray bottle for cleaning and soaking my chain. Kero is super cheap and does its job well.

    • @stuartfillingham
      @stuartfillingham  7 ปีที่แล้ว

      Hi Plysovejkaktus! I'm afraid kerosene is not readily available in the UK, I'm sure it can be obtained but I suspect being technically a fuel we would be charged all the UK government stealth taxes on it at around 60% so chain cleaner would probably be cheaper! interesting that you have covered so many miles with the wax would be interested in your findings when you take a look behind the sprocket cover! look e up on facebook and send a friends request!

    Riding the bike across the United States would take a long time if you have to clean the chain and sprockets every 200 to 300 miles.
    I used to lube my chain every morning before riding all day on any of my bikes that were chain driven.
    I would get about 20,000 miles before I would have to replace the chain and sprockets.
    I put 60,000 miles on a GS 750 Suzuki with no chain or sprocket issues. Most miles were 2 up at above posted speed limits.
    Good video, but impractical for long distance riders trying to get across country in a short time.
    That's why I went to a belt drive.

  • @chrisgroove
    @chrisgroove 6 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Hi Stuart, good and informative, there is always something to learn from your videos. Just a quick question since you've addressed washing the bike and the chain in separate videos, what would be the best method for doing both at once? For instance, would you wash/clean the body first and the chain last? One thing that I've noticed with my previous bike is if I was cleaning the chain first and then continue with the body, the chain is exposed to humidity too long and started to show spots of rust. Hence, now I'm always cleaning the chain last and I'm careful not to leave it without (oil) protection, but the only downside with this method is obviously that some muck from the chain/sprockets will go on the (just cleaned) body.

    • @stuartfillingham7011
      @stuartfillingham7011 6 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Cristian Stoica i always coincide cleaning the chain at the same time as washing the bike. Then dry and re lube the chain before detailing the bike.

    • @chrisgroove
      @chrisgroove 6 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Thanks, so would you leave cleaning the chain at the end of the cleaning process, i.e. after the muc-off initial clean and the washing of the tank and the rest? Also, what would you use to remove any chain lube that goes on the rear tyre? Of course that it pays to be really careful when applying but sometimes there are very minor contaminations. Should I be worried about these or should I just drive carefully the first 50 miles or so until they run off the tyres?

    • @stuartfillingham7011
      @stuartfillingham7011 6 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Cristian Stoica no i would make it the first job then you can clear off any residue from the swing arm and wheel/tyre while your washing the bike!

    • @andyrathbun5131
      @andyrathbun5131 4 ปีที่แล้ว

      Thanks for the great video (as always). However, I am still unclear as to when you actually wash the bike. Do you get the chain clean, then wash the bike, dry and lube the chain? Or do you clean and lube the chain, then wash the bike, then relube the chain? Sorry if this seems like a stupid question.

    MO 94 still is a tricky thing to get here without paying an exorbitant price. I tried several links online, and though the product itself saying anywhere from $6-13 US, the shipping is astronomical, as they appear to still be shipping directly from the UK. It turns a $6 can into a $17 can.
