Watch me change the chain on my Triumph Tiger 900 Rally pro.
I neglected my bike for around 3 months and it just sat not being used or Maintained. Clearly my old chain had seen better days, so out with the old chain and in with some new Gold bling.

YIKES, there is a lot of drag on that rear wheel!!

Before or after the the chain replacement? The bike had not been ridden properly or maintained for about 3 months, chain seized, pads rusted to the discs and I realised the wheel bearings need replacing. I ride it hard off road in the Welsh summer months so it’s no surprise

Hi Dan, I've just done the same, question ? 5:30 Did you grease the link pins and X rings on installation ? It was not shown in the video, it's a very important step as the grease in the little blister pack with the link needs to be used.

hi dan i think you need to put some mitchelin ankee wilds on. very good on road and off road . i had them on my tiger 800xcx and got them on my raid. if you are up for it come and have a ride out with me. you must be near bye the trails you ride.

@advdan 3 ай бұрын

I’ve got my trail tyres back on now. Done them the day after this video. And took the pannier racks off. Got another set of Metzeler karoo 4’s as they done me well last year but I definitely want to try the Michelins! Would definitely be up for a ride out. Yeah we must be pretty near each other or atleast ride the same trails

The bike is filthy, do you not clean it?? The state of the old chain says it all😢😢

@advdan 2 ай бұрын

I do clean it after every ride with a jetwash, just no point making it showroom shiny when I ride 90% off-road. Once a month it gets a solid clean though. It hadn’t been ridden for 4 months over the winter and my garage is really damp, so it’s pretty unavoidable to get rust on the chain

What mileage are you at for a chain replacement?

@advdan 3 ай бұрын

I’m on about 8000 miles. I unfortunately didn’t ride it for a few months over the winter and didn’t keep up with the maintenance so the salt on the roads absolutely killed the chain while it was stationary over winter 😞

It’s not essential to change the sprockets if they aren’t worn out.

Nice video Dan! Just curious why didn't you tighten the chain adjuster lock nut? -- kzfaq.info/get/bejne/gZOZi6uozJymnIU.html. Also when you rolled it away I heard the wheels squeal. Mine does that too. Do you know any way to fix it? I tried brake cleaner on the brakes pads which helps but after one ride the squealing is back!!!

Well, the morning after I filmed this, I took the wheels off and got the tyres changed over for summer off road ones. To be honest, I just had to put the wheel back on for video continuity 😂 The only thing I can think of is that the wheel bearings are on the way out. When I took the wheels to the shop for tyres, the guy noticed that the spacers have worn out on one side, which means the bearings are loose. (wish I could post a photo on here so you could see what I mean) The noise could also be to do with the fact that I didn’t ride the bike for 3 months before the new chain 😐 ashamed of myself for the lack of maintenance
