After watching this video i feel confident that i can tackle this job. Thanks for the great video again John!

I have a 2018 Triumph Tiger 800 XCA and I love your videos. They really help guide me through projects I’m working through on my Tiger. Thank you and keep doing what you’re doing!

This is a really helpful video, thank you. One tip in return is not to overpack your bearings with grease - grease is very viscous and the rollers will not turn properly, the grease will be hydraulically forced out of the seal lips leading to stiffer movement and premature seal failure. The reason everyone thinks Triumph don't put much grease in the bearings is because they put the right amount in.

Excellent job sir !

Wish I could say my Tiger is as ready for the next riding season as yours is, Jon. Thanks for another informative video, keep up the good work!

I have a 2014, nice to see some of the improvements in the bike. I am doing this very service today, thats how I found you. Nice video, thanks. Your bike looks a LOT cleaner than mine. :)

Another great video John! I enjoy all your videos. Your bike is so clean. When you go to sell that bike someday, someone is going to get a very well maintained clean bike. Wish mine still looked like that! When I repacked my draglinks a while back, one of them was bone dry. Luckily no damage had happened to anything else. Next for me, the headbearing, which I was dreading until I watched your previous video. I'll be using your easy method of , not, taking the whole front end off. I like that. Looking forward to your next video.

You are saving me SO much money. Thank you Sir.

Nice & easy being as it’s relatively new 👍🏻

Great video. Thanks Jon.

My pappy always said to me: Don't fix it if it ain't broke. Looks like new to me.

Great video! Thanks for sharing.

Excellent video! Thanks! I just did my 2012 and they still use the same major components as seen in this video. NOTE: I was even worse at doing this maintenance then Keith in the comments below. I have 52,000 miles on my Tiger 800xc and all my bearings were still fine, no extra grease left but no play and no damage. I'm not advocating not doing this regularly, I just didn't read the service intervals on this item. Perhaps my regular use of multi-purpose lube on the joints themselves helped me out because this bike has seen a lot of dirt, mud and water so I would recommend externally cleaning and lubing all of these joints often ;-) Also, my swing arm guard was worn out, especially on the bottom, got a new one and I'm all set!

Thanks for that John. I need to grease my link bearings. Seen a video of an older Triumph Tiger 1200 with rusty bearings. Not good !

Thanks for sharing sir.

Nice job, very thorough. One question,, could you get a bigger tool tube?

Great video as always. Could you please make a video showing how you jack up the bike?

Could you share what you used to protect the rear shock from debris thrown by the rear tyre? I hate cleaning the rear shock as it's pretty darn tight to get my hands in there. And thanks for your informative videos on the Tiger 800.

How many miles are on your machine? I know after watching all your rock road videos, that service is in line. Great video, thanks for the lesson!

Have you rebuilt the forks yet? I’d LOOOVE to see a video for that since as far as I can see there is no fork service video for the wp forks on the triumph tiger

After you have everything together, and the bike is on center stand, if you lift on the rear wheel do you feel any play? My 2014 has a about an inch of free play when i try to to lift the rear wheel. Wonder if that is normal.
