You are welcome. The bike has most of its weight on the center stand. The jack pressing on the plastic tray really isn’t that much weight. You could easily hold that much by hand because the center stand is the pivot point. That is one reason why you have to make sure you don’t raise it TOO high, the bike will tip over backwards. You just want enough off to get the wheel out, but still leaving some weight on the skid plate.

@@jasonshortphd Thanks, I was afraid that was going to be the answer as I have a 2023 Tiger GTLow which does not have center stand. I'll have to figure out another way to raise the front. Thanks again!

Those are Hepco and Becker bars. They offer them in white finish. Really sets off the bike I think.

Got it thank you Jason

I got the "Motorcycle Brake Piston Pliers" off of Amazon. They are a great tool to rotate the pistons to help break up corrosion that builds up on them. And yes, it also causes them to not retract as well also. There is no lube for them directly. They have rubber seals inside them caliper that are probably dirty. I pump them out almost all the way, use brake cleaner on the pistons and then push them back in a couple times. The copper slip on the back of the pads helps with squeaking of the pads when you apply the brakes. They vibrate a little against the metal of the caliper. The other thing that can impact retraction is water in the brake fluid. If you have a 20 you are past due for a brake fluid replacement (every two years). The fluid absorbs water from the air, and will become more "spongy" and stop working as well. It's easy to do as well. One bottle of brake fluid can do front and back.

Holy cow that was so much good info! Thank you so much, Jason, for that informative and super rapid reply. I really appreciate it. Happy riding!

Its a Blue Yeti microphone. It sits on my desk, I can't get my in helmet or gopro audio to sound anywhere near as good!

@@jasonshortphd awesome thank you. I’ve heard about that microphone before so I guess it must be good. Might have to buy it :-)

The wheel does not have to come off to pull the pads. You can do it with it on. Disconnect the caliper and you can swing it off. When I do have the wheel off I remove the caliper to make it easier to put the rear tire back on.

@@jasonshortphd thanks, will try again tomorrow.

Good question, I honestly don’t know. Most Triumph measure at the rear wheel speed sensor. I haven’t actually checked the schematics on the Tiger 900. I have a Zumo XT mounted above the screen now and it has an accurate speed on it.

Center stand plus a small scissor jack under the front skid plate.

It’s not a scottoiler. It’s a Tuturo. No power and no vacuum. It works from the swingarm movement.

No problem. Just tell them you have them. The sensors are still working fine.

@@jasonshortphd Is there any truth to the suggestion that once the batteries in the TPMS valves are dead you are looking at a near $300 repair to restore them (parts and labor)?

@@DaveDemase Once the batteries are dead you will have to remove the wheels and replace the batteries. That involves pulling off the tires. Personally I would just wait until my next tire change and do it then. It’s not hard to pull the tires, save yourself a bunch of that labor money.

@@jasonshortphd I didn't pose my question with enough detail. I was under the impression that the batteries were permanently integrated and not replaceable in the valve stem. So the entire valve stem with new batteries is required to be replaced in the repair incurring the bulk of the total cost above and beyond the wheel that has already been removed.

@@DaveDemase Haven’t heard that. Not sure on the lifespan of those batteries. If they are typical lithium ion, probably 3-5 years. I would still probably just run without them until the next tire change. Maintenance happens on all bikes :)

Yes the calipers have to come off.

I have done three week long rides with the bike. That seat is awesome. It has a little cut out for your man parts in the front, so they don’t get smashed on long rides. I honestly hate the seat on my BMW now as a result. Getting off the bike with your boys smashed now bugs me a lot. Ha ha. So yes, I love the seat. Just hit 14,000 miles with it.

@@jasonshortphd good to know!! Been torn between that and the Corbin

I live in an area of the country that doesn’t get very hot. So I do not get very hot on my bike. But I know others who live in warmer places have said the heat on the right hand side bothers them.
