I’ve serviced the rear brake callipers on my 2017 1050 sport and took the rear sprocket off to access it. Simple job and made access to the calliper a doddle.
Another great video. Ive been looking at dealer tool & tune ecu. The tune ecu seems really flakey...as ive got the same model as you, it would seem that dealer tool is the way to go?
I'm impressed you managed to do all the rear calliper work with the wheel in place, did you manage to get a torque wrench on that top bolt? I ended up rounding off my pad retaining pins (I think the factory do them up way too tight!) I replaced them with stainless steel DLC coated pins from Pro bolt.
Hi I used a shallow socket but one viewer has provided some hints and tips which I will do in another video. For the rear caliper he suggested removing the rear sprocket to get access
@@upnorthbiker Yep, I saw the comment, and took a look at your chain and sprocket vid to check, and there is a (very) brief shot that shows that top caliper mount bolt, so I'll next time I'll give it a go.
One tip I got was to remove the sprocket which is easy on a single sided swingarm and gives good access, especially if you don't have a centre stand or paddock stand.
@@upnorthbiker Did my coolant recently (just aquired the bike recently from a dealer by the way). You'll need to access the radiator cap under the L/H tank fairing. You probably already know how to remove the fairing but just in case. Remove the hidden screw/bolt up front under the headlamp, then the fairing slideds forward 2 inches and comes away. Then disconnect the indicator connectors. Nice design I thought. Previous owner/idiot thought it pulled off and wrecked the plasic lugs. Left me with the the mess to sort out. Thought I'd mention it just in case. looking forward to seeing how you do it.
Thanks Phil when I changed my plugs I had to remove all the fairing parts and someone bodged the screws under the nose. I have a bit of a repair job there to do at some time. I could not get the recommended coolant but all the web sites were saying it has been superseded with another triumph variant D2053 rather than HD4X.
I just did mine today. Only got just under 2 litres back in but that was about what came out. Couldn't get the bottom hose off the water pump so took the radiator hose off instead.@@philhart3878
Again thank you. Your video helped me with servicing the rear brake calipers

Never thought of that as you can easily get the sprocket off. Good call.

Tune ECU can do a bit more than Dealer Tool but I am not interested in remapping the ECU so Dealer Tool does what I need,

Slacken those slide pins on callipers while the calliper’s still on the bike. If they’re tight they’re a bugger to undo with the calliper dangling.
Another good hint, thanks Phil. Changing coolant is next followed by fork oil and headstock bearing regrease and adjust so hints and tips welcome.
