- This video is part of a series of videos covering the complete dismantling, refurbishment and reassembly of a 1975 Triumph Trident T160 engine. This particular video looks at the clutch and how best to set it up in order for it to work as efficiently and effectively as possible.
Great vid as usual chris, a top tip is get a surface table/ plate , great for checking flatness of heads ,covers ,carb bowls etc would have been perfect to check the fingers and spring flatness on that clutch assy 👍
Well I hope you decide to do another. We all appreciate you taking the time to share your knowledge. RMM. British Iron of Connecticut. USA.
Thanks. Appreciated. 👍
Lol Well that was easy Chris. I remember doing mine and I did everything you did and I was lucky to get it right the first time.
I went by your book and that help a lot .Well done my friend.
I still can't quite believe it was right first time - but I'll definitely take it!!😁😁😁👍👍👍
Can't wait to see your first ride out when all your attention to detail will (hopefully) be rewarded.
Didn’t have problems on my T150V, same clutch. I did although have to relocate the clutch cable due to it being really stiff, was my fault really, the tank pinched it, once moved it was a dream.
Just to clarify, what way round does the bearing go in?? Inner race thick side to pull rod?
Yes, that's right. The head of the pull rod should sit in the thick side of the inner race. I'm just doing another video about this on the T150 engine I'm rebuilding, and it may be clearer on that.
Hi Chris great video like the content where did you get your bearing and center pull for? Cheers Clive
Hi there,Clive, I'm glad you like the video. I bought those parts, and most others, from LP Williams Triumph Spares. They are Triple specialists, but not the cheapest supplier. Good luck. 👍
Great video Chris, thanks for all the pointers. Could you clarify where you sourced the replacement tapered rollar bearing for the clutch hub and do you have the specific product number?
I think that several suppliers stock the uprated clutch bearing, including TMS in Nottingham. I bought mine from LP Williams. I think the part number is the same as the original bearing, but with a suffix letter, to show it's the uprated version. Can't remember the suffix, but look on the LPWilliams website and it should show it.👍
Chris great rebuild. I have a chance to acquire a T160 thats been in storage for 30 years. Can you tell me best sources of T160 parts. This bike will likely need a lot
Most classic Triumph motorcycle parts dealers stock parts - some parts are common across the range e.g. gearbox parts, and these include such as TMS, Draganfly. Specialist parts suppliers include LP Williams and P&M motorcycles. But be warned, parts aren't cheap!
@@Chris.rooke150 Thanks, I have a Mk3 Norton Commando, I am prepared for parts costs. Now, I just have to get my hands on that T160.
Great rebuild Chris, I'm just curious why you uses bathroom towels to rebuild on. I think I've always used newspaper or blue workshop wipes to rest the parts on. Looking forward to hearing the new engine run.
It just keeps the bench clean, gives me something to wipe my hands on, and stops small bits rolling away. New towel for each operation.🙂
@@Chris.rooke150 I'm just wondering how the swarf doesn't get transferred to your cloths in the washing machine. Could be painful.....:-)
Definitely don't ask/tell my better half about that!!😁😁😁
