@@AUTOT3KHCL Triumph increased valve gaps on 2017 ? onward, to allow for a bit more wear, but 84,000 miles 😮! My exhausts valves were just out at 12,000 miles…

Well when you have that unnamed dealer over on Blackfoot charging people $1300 to do the job, somebody might need to budget for a month or two to get it done and go over the miles!

@@AUTOT3KHCL yep, I hate those guys 😡

I've started ordering all my triumph parts from Argyll up in Edmonton and they've been more then happy to help out with shipping so maybe an option for you to avoid going to the Calgary place

@@AUTOT3KHCL thanks for the tip bro 👍👍

@@AUTOT3KHCL In california the 12K is 1600 to 1800 bucks

Was the valves out of spec? What's the ticking noise all about? Cam Chain tensioner?

literally?

Bought a tiger800 w 47000km Ticking sound is common on those engine and probably not a valve sound ! Unless its reallyyyy loud then probably cam tensioner. Check different sounds on youtube

My first one: 7 valves were out of spec. My second one: 4 valves were on the tight end of spec. I would say do it before 30k

Any time I've ridden mine without a helmet... its so noisy. I think thats just a character of the triple. If its a new tick and more of a clacking... id consider the tensioner and chain guides before I replaced a head

No, they're very easy to replace though so I wouldn't think a video is needed!

@@AUTOT3KHCL To replace the tensioner do I need to remove the crank case cover and put something to hold the chain in place before removing the old tensioner?

I had a coolant leak last August so when I fixed that I had to refill the coolant. So there won't be a coolant flush video in my near future

@@AUTOT3KHCL No problem. Maybe a video on how to do a brake fluid flush including the ABS unit?

60k kilometers at the time of this video

That does sound very tight. Try rotating the engine over a few times and reset yourself then measure again. If you come up with the exact same measurements then you may be right and definitely double check after you swap the shims

@@AUTOT3KHCL Thanks!

It's adjusting by replacing the shims. Changing the size of the shim to adjust the valve clearance. Doesn't sound like they're trying to fool you or anything

@@AUTOT3KHCL thanks..yes that's always the concern. Appreciate it.

20 k is nothing to care about. I got it adjusted at 60 k and they were pretty tight already...80 k nothing. Let's see at 100k.

I sold my 18 tiger 800 when it had 127k km. Now I have a 23 tiger 900

12k miles? I believe it's 12k miles or 20k km

@@AUTOT3KHCL Yes, just seen it’s km doh. I’m in UK so miles for me. Did you do cam timing, the chain can stretch first 20.000 km ? Thanks for the vid, very limited videos on the 765 street, lots more on the xc800, I guess that shows the type of rider for each. I like to do my own, so this has really helped. Good riding !

If you already have the cam timing tool just check the cam timing every adjust, the service kit comes with new sprocket bolts. Mine was out by almost half a tooth the very first adjust so you're right. Stretches a lot first time around

@@AUTOT3KHCL Hi, thanks for confirming, just seen a few vids, (muddysump) I was hoping to just to a gap check, but most seemed to have chain stretch and tight exhaust valves at your 20k. Not done mine yet, just trying to pre empt what I need to do, and your video really helps. I ordered the cam sprocket alignment tool from Triumph a few days ago.

​@@douglasalexander4348 how was your major service went bro, did the chain stretched?

60k km

@@AUTOT3KHCL aah thats a good stretch

Hey I'm also west coast Canada and looking at the 900 GT pro. Little different but I'm sure close enough. What are the service intervals and costs at the dealership if you know? Any big issues I should know possibly? All the answers from the dealer are too biased. Thanks if you have any answers it's much appreciated

Well im actually in alberta but same thing. Yamaha is 24k for a valve adjust i thought and I bet its similar labour so dealer will probably want $1200-$1500

@@AUTOT3KHCL thanks for the info. Much appreciated

I hope you are correct about this😂 took the bike to a shop for its first 20k major service and there was no need for adjustment made to the valves but now 4 years later the bike now sits at 45k, should i take it for a valve clearance check????

Good point. Almost all Japanese and Korean cars DO NOT use any hydraulic valve lash adjustment technology. They are solid valve lifters all the way, and yet you never hear of any valve problems whether it’s a 4 6 or 8 cylinder engine and all of them are 4 valves per cylinder. The dealers never mention it. As long as you change your oil frequently and use an OEM air filter changed on time, your engine will blow past 200,000 miles (300,000K) and the camshafts cover has never been off. Yet with motorcycles, it’s a subject that pops up as often as drive chain maintenance. Look at U-tube and see if anyone is popping off their Asian car cam cover to check the valves. You won’t find much or maybe nothing about it.

Not sure what you car you drive rev s to 11.500 rpm ? Think how many times those valves go up and down compared to your car, so yes, they do need it. And who do you know who replaced their cam chain after a year being as they last 70,000 miles ?

If you know which dealership they had the bike serviced at then yes you can phone with the vin and they can give you the service records for that bike

There is no other way to tell otherwise right.? Either I want to see a invoice for the work done (Valve Clearance Check / Adjustment) or call the service center and give them the VIN, right.?
