Just found your channel and love your methodical approach, so happy to subscribe. Regarding the failed fuel pump connection, I've always been a bit wary of those worm drive hose clamps; you never know how much they've been tightened, they don't clamp the hose evenly and they can loosen over time. Whenever I'm replacing a fuel filter, I always replace them with a stepless Oetiker style clamp. They apply an even pressure all round and won't loosen over time. They're single use only, of course, but that's a small price to pay for peace of mind. (I noticed when I went to replace the filter on my Ducati that they came with stepless clamps as standard.) Keep up the great work.
Hi I've watched a few of your videos and I have not heard you moan once Nice to watch someone with great knowledge and who just cracks on with the job My local dealer moans just when you book a bike in for service Keep doing what your doing as you do it well 👌
Fantastic that you fixed it, I'm having exactly the same issue with my yzf600 thundercat, think you've given me something else to look at and may have saved me a few quid in the process 😂
Yeah, broken fuel connectors were a well known and common fault. And one of the few faults that Triumph ever held their hands up to - there was a recall to replace them. Best solution is, as you say, replacing them with the metal ones.
Good job. Always nice to find a smoking gun problem. I had the same problem with my CB500F, and when I pulled the pump, everything was very rusty. Replacing pump was easy and cheap. but fixing the tank was very time consuming. Also - a tripod and zoom would let viewers see what you're wrenching on. I'm wondering how you can make a go of it - having to drive to and from customer's locations - you must charge a premium for that?
I owned a ‘99 955i, worst bike I’ve ever had, always off the road, dodgy this, dodgy that, fuel leaks, sensors, failing non stop. So glad I got rid of it. Lovely looking, but that was about it.
I need help with my zx9r i could cry. Just got this machine with a few issues. Last owner sold me a lemon. Misfiring gets hot cuts out. I fear the head gone. Shall I go slap the bloke? I got it from. or scrap it and buy another bike. I feel like taking a baseball bat to it. Who got a head for c2 zx9r that isnt crap. Looks like I'm using my fzr600 forever. Help help help.
anyone know whats up with my speed triple it was running fine I parked it up for winter and a few days after I did I tried starting it and it start rough idled rough and when giving throttle sounded like it was missing or had fueling issues but was idling okayish so left it running thinking it was just cold went in house she cut out five mines later trie restarting it and it sounded like it was running on one cylinder and cut out never to start again Ive check spark which seemed fine all the air box connectors seemed to be fine fuel pump is working but still non starter any help info would be great im trying to fix it myself as I bought the bike on a thursday and by the next day was very ill ending up in hospitol for 3 weeks and a major scare with cancer and a big op on my bowels I don't have the money to pay a garage to look/fix it sorry for the sob story but a bit of background as too way I can't pay a professional to look at it.

Yet another successful job for the magician of the motorcycle mechanic world 👍
Don't keep cranking the starter on a T5 series Triumph with a low battery. Unless you really like replacing sprag clutches...

No problem 👍
Good find 👌🤘
It was a common fault. Bravo for finding it, you can get aluminium dry break connectors instead of the brittle plastic ones.

Good work great viewing 👍
Well done for sorting that tricky one out 👍👍👍
Very interesting, knowledge like that is good to have.
Another good job done Steve!!👍👍👍
Nice work!

We are cheaper than most shops as we don’t have the massive overheads.
awesome diagnostics!
Really? Spark and fuel are the obvious first steps of any non starting I.C.E.🙄
some people are easily impressed.

Hi Steve
A coomon fault after a new fuel pump or filter has been fitted, and or someone forgot to tighten up the clamp properly at the factory.
Top man, no messing about.
Enjoyed this thanks

funny old thing....mine was exactly the same
I had a 595 that was absolutely perfect, funny old world
I've had mine 20 years, no bother apart from pump relay.
I have owned mine 18 years best bike ever
Filter could be blocked causing back pressure to blow off pipe, would have changed that
Don't think he carries fuel filters for every make and model of bike in his van.
👍
That was a tricky one. It could have taken hours to find that fault

Common problem, i would have changed the filter whilst the tank was off??
