The squeaky wheel gets the oil, and the bet up Talaria finally gets some love.
After about 400 miles of riding, and with a big trip to Colorado coming up soon it's time to get the Sting back into tip top shape! Stick around for the next video where I test the maintenance. I compare the stock used brakes o the brand new ones in a brake test, and see if fresh oil affects top speed or acceleration. Have a Good One!

WARNING to whoever is cleaning their chain; DO NOT use the throttle to move the wheel instead of by hand I was doing that and my finger got sucked into the chain sprocket and I almost got my finger chopped off!! I got lucky and only the top part of my finger was cut off thankfully my whole finger wasn’t removed and only the skin was cut. WARNING learn from my mistake be safe and turn your wheel with your other hand

Almost happened to me, the brush I was using caught the chan for a second and almost pulled my fingers right into the sprocket, luckily my chan wasn't tight so it didn't do any damage to my bike.

Good video. I have a few suggestions: - Before you start with all the chemicals, grab the chain with a rag and spin the wheel to remove as much gunk as possible. - An O-ring chain doesn't need to be sparkly clean. The goal is just to get most of the junk off not make it look brand new. - Cut a piece of cardboard about 1' x 2' and hold it between the chain and wheel while you're working. It keeps the overspray and debris from contaminating the rotor, pads & tire. - Talaria MX4 pad bolts don't have a clip like yours, it's only a bolt. Use Loc-Tite on the threads (sparingly!) to keep it in place. - When torquing down the pad retaining bolt, use only the short end of the allen key for leverage. This makes it less likely to strip because you can't apply as much force. - When reinstalling pads, insert the bolt through the pads and spring to make it easier to install. This keeps everything in place as you insert the pads around the rotor. - Use resin pads if you have brake squeal. They also have better brake feel "modulation" but they fade more in wet conditions. I run resin up front and metal in back.

nice vid dude. when I did my first oil change, I had my Talaria leveled on the ground, not resting on its kickstand. drained it and filled it just like that. it had gray goopie hair conditioner look and consistency when dirty oil came out like 50-60ml. no metal shavings that i could see. the debate about lifting the front tire to get the maximum 120ml is an overreaction, from my opinion. i filled it with a syringe kit from amazon until the dipstick check was sufficient and the oil did not overflow when placing the cap back on. I ride full throttle on sport mode daily 80-90% of the time and the gearbox is functioning very well with just the method I used watching the few early Talaria riders on YT like @Electric is better and @Oregon Motorcycle.

Thanks man! I couldn’t agree more about the oil change controversy. GritShift and I contacted Talaria to put it to rest and they confirmed you don’t lift the front wheel because then the excess will leave through the vent tube, onto the tire. They also said the manual has a typo that’ll be fixed in 2023 models. It’ll say only 75-95ml to refill. I’m so thrilled with how the gear box performs though. It’s snappy, worry free, and very quiet. I also owe big thanks to Oregon Motorcycle for his early videos. They definitely swayed me to buying the Talaria. And I wouldn’t change a thing.

@@haveagoodoneyt Oregon Motorcycle also helped me choose the Talaria. I'm 5' 11" and that's too large for the SurRon. Plus the Talaria has a longer stronger swing arm attached to a gear box that produces less noise...it's like a no brainer the Sting is and was the best choice. It's time to bring the SurRon updates or seriously reduce the prices.

It’s in the owners manual but the first oil change should be around the 300 mile mark. After that they say you can go around 3,000 miles in between oil changes. So it’ll be awhile before you’ll have to get back in there for sure

Mineral oil. Pick some up from your local bicycle shop. It’s my understanding that the bicycle specific stuff has a higher boiling point than regular mineral oil from a hardware store. Maybe twice a year or so depending on how much you ride and the style of your riding. You can also look at the sight glasses on the very front of the master cylinders. If it’s perfectly clear you’re still good. If it’s dark or especially black it needs replacing. Thanks for watching!

Question: Let's say with the thicker brake pads or with a thicker rotor how do you loosen the brakes a little so the brake ads dont rub.
@haveagoodoneyt
@haveagoodoneyt 9 ай бұрын
Different calipers are designed for different rotor thicknesses. If you’re getting constant rubbing throughout the wheel’s rotation you might have a rotor that is too thick for the caliper. If the rubbing is only happening once or twice per wheel rotation then the rotor is slightly bent. You can bend it back using a rotor adjustment tool, sold at most bicycle shops. If you haven’t replaced any brake parts except for the pads then just makes sure the caliper is centered on the rotor. You can do this by loosening the caliper so it moves freely left to right. Then while applying the brake tighten the caliper back down.

As shown in the video: - Make sure to **NOT** follow the directions in the manual and re-fill the gearbox with an **INSUFFICIENT** amount of oil. Great for increased wear! - Make sure to spray chain care products so that all of the over-spray goes all over the brake rotor (contaminating it with grease) and drips all over the rear wheel bearings so it dissolves and washes out their grease. Again, great to drastically increase the rate of wear on these components!

From an email chain directly from Talaria UK… “Hi Matthew, You are correct, there is no need to lift the wheel. Rolling back and forth gently will ensure the oil is dispersed around the first gear to get the right fill level. Lifting the wheel as you describe will result in excess oil in the gearbox which will be ejected through the breather and could contaminate the rear wheel while riding. Regards, Colin Llexeter Ltd” Just want to throw this out to help with the confusion. According to Talaria Canada, Talaria UK, and Talaria Corporate you DO NOT lift the front tire. The owners manual will be updated next year to state the proper fill amount,”between 75 and 95ml”, says Talaria Canada and Talaria Corporate.

@haveagoodoneyt
@haveagoodoneyt Жыл бұрын
That’s a great question and the answer definitely changes depending on who you ask and what style riding you do so I’ll give some general rule of thumb intervals. Chain after every off-road ride or every 100 miles or so on pavement. Gear oil should be changed every 600 miles. Brake pads should be changed when they start wearing thin. They require a visual inspection. Check tire pressure every ride or at least weekly if you’re commuting. And that’s about it.

Also I don’t know if you are able to do this or not, but could you contact Talaria asking if the 2023 Talaria will have customisable gear ratios, this could be a feature in a phone app if they make one, (so that the bike will be good off the line and also so you can increase acceleration more when going at high speeds). I thought that the Sur Ron was great at this so I hope in the future the Talaria can do the same 👍

I don’t understand the confusion with the hole changing the gear box oil. Correct me if I’m wrong but according the the manual 120-150ml of oil needs to be put into the gear box and they also have an add/full line on the dipstick. Make sure bike is flat ( not leaning ) and fill it to the appropriate amount. Haven’t heard any gear related thing having to fill 100% to the point it’s over flowing out of the please where you measure the amount of oil needed. If you lift the front up and fill it, once the bike is level you are now over filled….. if you have it to full you will have aeration in the oil = bad for any gears. If I’m wrong please let me know. Changing the oil more then what the manufacture says is better by the way. It’s cheap to do and dose not take long to do and plus it’s good to see what the oil looks like because the oil will tell you everything that’s going on inside the gearbox. But that’s just me👍🏼

First off you should start by riding the bike around to heat up the oil inside the motor. Then drain it while it’s still hot. (You’ve never done an oil change yourself, on anything in your life, have you? Then you’re supposed to throughly clean the drain plug and clean inside the drain hole (the threads) before reinstalling the drain plug. Did you even wipe all those metal shavings off the plug??? And wtf was you doing using that stupid little bottle?! (like cutting it was gonna make it bigger) you would have had a better shot draining it into that “cheap” 5 gallon bucket 😂😂😂 and I hope you brush your teeth better than you did that chain. You should move the tire 6”-8” then scrub tf out of it( up and down, back and forth, in and out) vigorously. Then move the tire another 6-8” and repeat. And you want to COMPLETELY let the chain dry before apply any chain lube!!!! 🤦🤦🤦 I wait AT LEAST 24 hours before lubing the chain and lastly never touch the brake pads or rotors with your hands!!! (Because the natural oils in your hands get on the brakes and will squeal so horribly) and imagine you just changed the oil , mind you, with no latex gloves on, and got more on the ground than you did in the Snapple bottle😂😂😂 I recommend wearing latex gloves to clean the chain, do the oil change, and replacing the brake.( very good maintenance practice to prevent cross contamination) You got an “A” for effort though, nice initiative, this video made my day😂😂😂👍👍👍
