I am so glad you do these videos, I'll rather spend my money on tools on my bike than pay a mechanic. I have pride in doing my own maintenance at home, thank you!

Really well explained video it helped me with my fork rebuild, not long had my 2015 Bonneville newchurch with only 5,000 miles on it but could hear a clicking coming from the forks so decided to strip them and have a look, I was shocked to see both bushes with a lot of wear on them so decided to go with a Tec bike parts full fork upgrade progressive springs eliminators and adjustable pre load tops and the difference is massive. I was talking to a suspension firm who told me they have had speed twins in with 1,000 miles on them with worn bushes so not a good advert for triumph, but love watching your video's by far the best on KZfaq.

Hi Ian, good to hear from you, and what a great plan to totally re-vamp your forks... I've also been shocked a few times at how quickly the factory bushes wear and replaced those in our bikes almost right away... great to hear the TEC kit did the job, not only is it great quality equipment, but great value too... and as a company their service has never let me down, they're there for the passion of bikes, not just for profits. Take care and keep safe and enjoy your new bike!

My 13 speedmaster forks are almost the same, I have played with different grade fork oils as I grew heavier! once I put hagons progressive springs in, I have lost alot of weight, time to change oil back to 10 grade, first fork all went ok, but second leg all ok apart from after tube,washer,spring & old oil out, pushing by hand pushed tube down, it jammed almost solid, only moving 1mm, no amount of rarving would pull it out, alan stud just turned round and round, watching your video has helped me 100%, I think the lower bush is my problem, hopefully by mid day tomorrow it will all be in pieces,....just need a brush shaft....

Hi there.. Thank you for your kind words, when re-installing fork legs, the machined bores of the top and bottom yokes will automatically align them with each other. . just tighten the pinch bolts first while leaving the top yoke centre nut till last, and you'll see, the steering will be bang on straight.

Stripping down my forks on my Scrambler and tried your broom handle method to extract bottom bolt. Great idea but did not worked in this instance. Purchased holding tool and still could not free bottom screw. I’ve found out since that Triumph stud lock the bottom bolt in place. Think they used super glue on mine. I’ve since drilled the head of the bolt and even in a tube vice and stud extractors the screw is stuck solid. Now just waiting for the Christmas post for the correct 9.1 drill bit and M10 x 1 tap to put onto lathe. Love your channel by the way. Keep the good stuff coming.

Another wonderfully instructive video!! Changing the fork oil is actually my next job after greasing the suspension linkage arm. This is what happens when you buy a 18 year old bike with 16k miles and NO service history. Anyway, still waiting for my Abba stand as I am done mucking around with an ancient car jack, jack stands and ratchet straps tied to the railing on the parking lot! As far as which way around to install the springs, I use the Kawasaki maintenance manual and Haynes as my guide. Both tell me to install the tighter wound side down. On the F models it's the other way around. So, how they are thinking obviously varies from model to model, on essentially the same bike. So, I doubt if a catastrophe ensues if you just try it out and see what happens. On a different note, did you not do the whole fork balancing thing this time or is that only necessary under certain circumstances? Keep well and warm :)

@Moonfleet41 5 жыл бұрын

Hi Patricia, good to hear from you again! With the progressive springs, I've tried them both ways up in Penny's Scrambler and neither of us can tell any difference either way, it rides the same, despite all the criticism that people make, it's usually based in 'guessed theory', many people take the view that to deviate one inch from the manual's recommendation is 'dangerous' and will cause imminent death which, of course, is most usually not the case at all... try these things for yourself, take your time and be careful, you sound like a competent person and you'll be just fine... with your final comment on fork balancing, am I right in presuming you mean 'fork alignment' so the front end rides straight? If so, then generally, if you take one fork out at a time and replace it before you take the other one out, then it should stay aligned... mis-alignment occurs when the top and bottom fork yoke (triple tree) twist against each other and rotate slightly, which causes the forks to sit out of alignment... olnly impact on the road, such as pot holes or kerb stones, can knock them out of alignment, but simply taking the forks our and putting them back in, shouldn't cause a problem, as long as the top nut on the top triple tree stays tight, they'll stay in position... Hope that helps you Patrician, take care, keep in touch, D&Px

@patsonabike 5 жыл бұрын

Thank you for that missing bit of information. For me it will be essential to take out the forks one at a time anyway otherwise I'll probably end up mixing up parts between the two. According to Haynes that will also lead to imminent death ;). Good night!

Is it possible to replace the fork stanchions of a Street Scrambler with longer ones i.e. 1200 XC length? Would I need to replace my TEC spring or just the spacer?

@Moonfleet41 6 жыл бұрын

Hi mate, yes I've thought of exactly that, I love the idea of putting sportsbike running gear in old style retro bikes, there is often more to it than you think though, if you want to put upside down forks on your Bonnie, you'll need some yokes to hold them at the exact correct width for the wheel you're proposing to use, am not sure if the mag wheel from your Bonnie will fit, it's certainly the correct size being a 3.5x17, but you have the issue of axle diameter, is the rim the same as the fork legs, then there is the fun and games of mounting the brakes... if you're gonna use forks with a radial caliper from a late GSXR then the discs need to be spaced so there's a lot to it mate... but it's a project I'm looking to take on myself in the next built, so will do videos of that some day, just gotta get the current build done first !

Do you have any clue where to find heavier springs or any way to make a 2013 Street Triple S front shocks to handle more weight. I think I have tried Race Tech and Traxxion Dynamics's with no luck. Or do shocks lose there tension after wear and tear? Any info would be appreciated, thanks a lot. I was thinking about trying and thicker oil but wasn't sure if that would even be worth it. My front forks keep bottoming out on bumps around the neighborhood. We do have pretty bad roads here though.

@Moonfleet41 5 жыл бұрын

Hi buddy, interesting situation... I'm wondering if they're actually bottoming out, or something I've heard called hydro slamming... which is when you hit a pot hole that is so sharp and so instantaneous that the impact on the forks is too hard and fast for the oil to squish through the holes in the damper rods, so effectively it acts like a solid fork and you get a detectable impact... for your forks to bottom out on a standard Street Triple S, then you're either a mighty big lad over 20 stone, and if not, it's more likely your damping... Have you got the damping wound up too hard? If that's a maybe, then set everything to factory 'middle' settings and see if that improves it... if the fork oil has never been change din 6yrs, then for goodness sake, do that first before you make any changes, because 6yr old fork oil won't be performing well any more, should be swopped out every 2yrs for fresh. Once again, try that and see how it goes. Finally mate, it if it weight and you're just a big guy needing more front support, I don't know a source for heavier weight springs that would be aftermarket, but if I remember rightly the 'S' is the lightweight version of the bike, so perhaps look at changing for the regular springs from the non-S heavier bike? As in theory they're designed to support more weight, but they could actually well be the same springs though, so check the part numbers of the springs on both bikes with Triumph and if they're different part numbers, they'll be different springs... there's a few ideas buddy, hope that helps you.

@Moonfleet41 4 жыл бұрын

You said "I need to put a spacer in"... is there already a spacer in your forks, (like in the Bonnevlle)?, and is that on top, (it should be), if so, then it's always a good idea to go with what the factory did.. if there is no spacer in there.. and yours is all spring.. are you fitting a spacer for more preload?.. if so you can buy some adjustable preload fork caps from TEC bike parts..!

Hi Del& Penny, Great watching the video, So it would appear that Triumph specs were already set optimally! Still it is good to fine tune the feelback, May it bring comfort and joy to your ride penny and no more rolling off the side stand! Hey Del, what effect does it have if the internal spacer tubes are altered? Kind regards Warren

@Moonfleet41 6 жыл бұрын

Hi Warren, hope you're well mate... the tubes in this are cut down 2" and the springs aren't standard, they're the TEC bike parts progressive Thruxton springs, and it was a marked difference, just adding the Slinky Glide seals and washing out 5yrs of sludge... we didn't think that going down to 7.5w would make such a marked difference, but it truly does, I wouldn't say Triumph have optimised it, but the oil thickness certainly suits the damping spec and what I mean by that, is the size of the holes in the damper rod, now in really serious fork tuning, many people will weld up the damper rod holes and re-drill them smaller, but more of them, so changing the dynamic again... fork tuning is an endless quest for perfection and you'll never get it perfect for all riding... what you get with these forks is a set menu that seems to work, and we weren't prepared to get in to re-designing the damper rods, so going back to the 10w oil simply allows them to work best as they are !

Perfect solution and probably better than the milk carton as it's thinner, it doesn't pay to stretch the seal too much, but I think maybe more of us have a milk carton in the bin than acetate int the drawer, but if you have some, then it's definitely a better solution !

@Moonfleet41 6 жыл бұрын

Yes you can mate, it's the same overall carcass circumference across the radius, but simply more is sidewall and less is tread, so it's kinda not the clever way to go, if you're gonna make that swop, then it's better to go the other way from 100 to 110 as you end up with more tread area as opposed to what you're looking at, which will leave you with a lesser tread area, but hey we're only talking about a total of 10mm in tread width, and if you look at your current 110/80 and see how much of the sides of that tread are untouched, then you'll know whether you're using it all , or not... if you currently have 10mm either side untouched, then you're reasonably safe to drop down to 100, but if your front tyre is worn almost off the edges already, then I would steer clear and get a 110/80, as you clearly use it all , hope that helps mate, all the best, D&Px
