Thank you for taking the time to make this video, very much appreciated.
Thank you for watching and commenting 👍
thank you so much for these precious tutorials you made. i have a 2014 Street Triple and you have no idea how much your videos are helping me right now on how to understand better my bike :)
many thanks again !
Cheers
Thank you for kind comments. That was my aim in doing this set of videos. I wanted to leave enough detail in so it would be useful :)
Fantastic series of videos! Thank you
Thanks for watching and the kind comment :)
Fantastic series. Thank you for doing this and sharing!!
Thanks for the kind comments. Glad it has been of use :)
Superb videos these buddy 👍🏻 just gone over 6k on my 2016 STR so will have these playing later this month whilst I get stuck in.
Thank for watching and commenting :)
Thankyou for making these guides
No problem and thanks for watching :)
Hi, very good and informative videos, I have recently got a 2010 Street Triple R, although yours is the newer model I think I will be able use a lot of this information, I have recently started my own channel and plan to do a few maintenance and upgrade videos.......so good to see the standard has been set high for me to follow :-)
Good tip on the freezer bag. I generally use no-residue tape, like painter's tape. Wrap around the nut, then a couple strips on top of the triple clamp to prevent scratches. If the tape is thin use several layers. I think the freezer bag would be easier.
Yes I could have used tape but I had some freezer bags to hand so went with those. Thanks for watching :)
Where did you get the socket for this?
I was going to add a comment but it's already been covered! Great minds think alike, and all that....
But you do know that "c" spanner your holding is doing nothing at all! You have it the wrong way round and not bracing the nut against the torque wrench at all!
Its not necessary to counter hold the head bearing adjustment nut while tightening the (2nd castelated ) locknut, the tab washer separating the two prevents movement of the adjustment nut.
Great videos
I do the small service on 2014 Street triple due a 12k service now think I better pay the mechanic As it's running a bit lumpy now . Not sure if that the throttle balance.
good night, great work, I watched some of his videos and found it super cool, I plan to do it on my Street Triple 675 tmb ...
Would you have the pdf service manual for this bike ??? thank you
Thanks for watching if you search online you will find a service manual quite easily that covers up to 2012 for 2013 models I bought a digital copy from Ebay but I lost it when a Hard drive died!
Just hit 12k on my 2015 STR. Thanks for these and will definitely be referencing them while I do all my work.
For the valve checking, did you already have new spacers on hand or did you buy after measuring? I’m trying to limit my downtime as much as possible.
I didn't check the valve clearances on this service as they were due on mileage and not time. If I had of done I would have gone for the 'down time' option as buying a kit of shims can get expensive!
Hello! First of all - you rock! Thanks for all the vids, really informative. One quick question, what point on the bike have you used to jack up the front. I am assuming it's the oil sump, but just want to confirm.
I tried on the sump only but this seemed to make the bike tip one way,so I used a piece of wood and went on the exhaust and the sump together. Thanks for watching.
another excellent video by you, very informative and detailed.
would you make a video of the front forks service (oil change)?
and there is definitely an interest to see a valve clearence / adjust one.
cheers
Gal Mordehai.I may well do a valve clearance one. Mine aren't due untill 12000 miles and my bike has only done 6000 ! but I may do it anyway. As for the fork oil again I'll have a think on that. Many thanks for watching
Hey Man . Please do the Valve clearance video . That is, the 12000 mile service soon. I'm looking forward to it. Infact i was searching for that already . Lovely content bro. I just subscribed yesterday . I can learn a lot of things and save a lot of money too.
Thank you for the video.
If is the freeplay noticeable (same bike as yours) at 25 000 miles, can you still adjust it by tightening them up to 40 Nm and then to 15 Nm? Or at this kind of mileage there is needed a new head stock bearing?
And by the way, that trick with freezer bag i have to try out!
If you just have play and no notchiness and they are standard/stock head bearings then yes (providing its the same bike and year might be different for older/newer ones). That information was taken from the official factory manual. I would suggest at 25000 miles you might want to inspect and re-regrease the bearings.
@@TheSussexBiker Yeah, Street Triple R 2014. Thank you for reply.
Hi .. quick question. When removing the yoke lock nut, would you need to take the weight off the front end (block of something under the oil sump pan) or can the front wheel be on a paddock stand / on the ground?
Hi thanks for watching and commenting, if you are only removing the lock nut then no but presumably you are removing it to either tighten the head bearings or remove the yoke assembly. if you are adjusting head bearings you want the front wheel clear to check for smoothness and feel after adjustment or if removing forks etc then again you would need to suspend or jack up under the sump.
@@TheSussexBiker hi ... thanks for the reply much appreciated! I only want to replace the silver OEM lock nut with a fancy Lightech nut in black... so yea, i wasn’t sure wether I had to take all the weight off the front tyre to do this. Brilliant videos by the way! Helped a lot since I started doing all the servicing myself on my daytona 675. Thanks again !
Hi I've bought the same sw motech risers you have for my street and wondered how you installed them did you completely remove the handlebar as in this video or just rest it either in front or behind the triple tree with everything still connected? do they make much difference? great vids btw
Thanks for watching. I installed the risers just by lifting the bars up it was a bit fiddly
Were did u get the device to rest service light
Online search for 'Dealer tool' HTH :)
What brand and model torque wrench are you using?
kiwi-on-a-bike 660 it's a Snap-on digital one.
Thanks for putting this together. How many hours do you think it took to do all of this?
Thanks for watching, I didn't actually make a hard note of the time. With filming it took a lot longer from memory the whole service was filmed mostly a few hours week nights in two weeks, but I wasn't rushing.
Thank you for all (service parts), when will
next part :-) ? (valve clearance) :D
According to the service schedule they are not due until 12000 miles,which will take me another 3 years to get to that mileage BUT you never know I might just do a video sooner if there is enough interest. Thanks for watching :)
@omgzam I don't have this bike anymore,sorry.
Hi, thanks for the great video, the tork for the front calipers bolts is 55Nm? thanks again..
Yes street r calipers 55nm :)
Thanks
Amazing series of videos. Not sure what I'm going to use to get the front wheel off the ground - would an Abba Sky Lift do it?
Thanks for commenting and watching👍 You could use an Abba Skylift or you could use a motorcycle beam style scissor jack which would be cheaper, but the sky lift is more versatile.
@@TheSussexBiker Many thanks for your advice.
Or look at the British made Big Blue. Mine replaced all my other lifts.
@@bm7760 Thanks for the heads up. Which one is kinder to the bike and less likely to do damage?
@@FunAllDayLong4353 Safest is the big blue and it'll cope with larger machines if you need it to.
Hi what is the size of the castle sucket that you used? Thank you
Amine Salim don't know the size it's a special tool I can try and measure it if you like?
Yes that would be really helpfull. I like the way you do the jobes it is really professional and well explained. I just bought a salvage triumph street triple 2014 and im restoring it. It is hit in the front end and it doesnt start. I already fixed the stator cover and changed all the gaskets. It has the key but the lock is brocken so i connected the wires and turned the ignition on however it doesnt want to start. So i guess its ecu that is locking the system or one of the shut of sencers is malfonctioned even thought they look good and cleen. Do you thing i should do a tune ecu?and see what it says... i cant see that in the speedometer because it is brocken.
Amine Salim outside diameter 50 mm,inside diameter 44 mm. Space between teeth outside 17mm edge to edge , inside 11mm edge to edge. Hope this helps
Yes thats really helpful. Thank you
where can i find that socket ?
I got mine from Ebay - search for 'Triumph Steering Stem Nut Socket- Part No T3880023'
@@TheSussexBiker found! thx
I tried this method but steering now more tight. what will be reason?
Hi. sorry to hear this hasn't worked for you, it's possible that your bike may not have standard or oem bearings? You could try either adjusting again or doing it manually until the play has gone but the steering is not too tight. What was the reason for adjusting? did you have play/notchiness? you may need to strip and inspect the bearings.
@@TheSussexBiker you are right i have non eom bearings. adjustment needed as there was little play in bad roads. now i re did it. it's good but if I remove hand from handlebar, it won't stick to straight line. is that now loose?
@@anytube1 Not all bikes will steer straight when you let go of the bars. There could be a few factors for example, something out of alignment on the front end/ front tyre condition/pressure/ road camber/ even where the rider is sat on the seat. If you steering is smooth and not notchy or sticking in one postion and rides normally when you are riding with your hands on the bars then I wouldn't go chasing rabbit holes.
@@TheSussexBiker ok got it thanks. 😊
never heard of a hardwood stick or brass rod for knocking things off that are tight
I'm a Car Mechanic/Auto Tech and have used this technique and never had a problem. I've also used brass drifts for tapping out bearing races.
Hi, street triple r 2010 from Italy bere. I have seen your video and besides some mistakes, they are good. But next time you wanna rise up the upper plate, use a rubber mallet. Do not be the guy that own a snapon torque wrench and not a rubber hammer.
Cosimo Marotta thanks for watching. As you can see I used a plastic hammer and a bit of wood where I could. To be honest my home tool kit is a bit limited compared to my tools at work so I was using what I hand too hand but yes a rubber hammer might have been a better solution.
And, not as a critic, at that point I would have checked the grease on bearings and for mud or water infiltration.
Cosimo Marotta. I should of have explained in the video that my bike had it's head bearings replaced under warranty a few thousand miles ago so I didn't need to check. However if they hadn't I would have.
well done, bro!
