I work as a mechanic at a Honda main dealer and even there I try to give new riders advice, we get a lot of new riders bringing bikes in to adjust chains at £15 a time, I always try to show them how to do it, some we never see again because they took the advice and some understandably would rather have us do it because they have 0 mechanical knowledge at all, but I like being able to show people the simple things and hopefully save them some money in the process

@Moonfleet41 2 жыл бұрын

Liam.. You Sir are a shining light.. that's exactly what every dealer could do, we live in a digital age now and this generation of new riders just haven't had the inspiration to fix things while growing up.. not because nobody cares, but because things in general are less "repairable".. its a throw away age, so the mentality doesn't take route, it's more likely they'll just throw things out and buy new... But costs aside, Main dealer technicians are possibly the most trusted and knowledgeable people available, so a lesson from YOU... is ten times the lesson from a YT video aye.! Thanks for what you're doing mate, and keep at it..! Del.

Gotta say, this was so incredibly helpful. I can do some stuff, but your video was perfectly detailed, straight to the point, and shot perfectly for a pause-and-go instructional vid. I’ve been riding for a long time, but have been wanting to dive in more on maintenance. This one’s outstanding. Highly recommended for anybody who loves to ride and might be a little timid getting into minor maintenance. Thank you!

One additional tip I could give is to use old cable to route the new one in. It is especially useful on sports bikes when you have to get rid of fairings to even get to the cable, and some cables tend to even go through the frame. In most cases simply taping new cable end to end is enough. But beware it's possible to scratch something along the way when, like in case of this Boneville cable is forged.

Hi, this video was extremely helpful. I'm off to the Pyrenees tomorrow, with my 2006 Triumph Scrambler 865 and yesterday discovered my clutch cable was starting to fray. After a bit of a panic, I got a new cable couriered to me overnight from Fowlers of Bristol (I live in Plymouth) and fitted it today, following your excellent and clear guidance. My old, frayed clutch cable may have lasted the 10 days away or given way on a mountain hairpin, who knows? At least I know it won't now. Many thanks.

This type of really basic stuff is what got me started watching your channel, and honestly gave me the confidence to work on my own bike. It is SO IMPORTANT that people who WANT to do it can find the information. Once they can see how easy it is to do, they will try. And by doing small things, you learn you can do bigger things. Build that confidence up. Now I am bidding on wrecked bikes to see if I can fix them up... I have a different problem. :)

@Moonfleet41 2 жыл бұрын

Thanks buddy, am glad you enjoy the videos, and good luck with the wrecked bike projects, but if I may offer one caution to be conscious of any difficulties once they're finished, here in England bikes that have been officially written off and sold by insurance companies can be difficult to insure and re-register and more importantly, difficult to sell... maybe it's different there, but just a consideration maybe before you throw money at it! It's great if the bikes are purely for you and you end up with something that cost you far less than a clean one would have, but if they're to sell on it's worth being aware of those kind of issues... have a great week, ride safe!

@jasonshortphd 2 жыл бұрын

@@Moonfleet41 same here. Very difficult to register for street use. I am actually bidding on some offroad only bikes right now, so no worries on plates here for those. Every now and then I find a bike on my "wish list" that I would keep just for myself. I have never won one of those, because usually someone else also wants that bike to collect. But its fun to look.

Dear Del… , this is very important, teach them well. Believe it or not, there are even so called dealers out there who promise you wonders within no time and ask for little money, but they have no clue , what their mechanics are capable of or not. A friend picked up her 883 and the clutch cable was treated so bad by not checking if you could still steer properly from one side to the other… it was so bad under tension when the front was relaxed to the left while parking … such an easy task but we need you and your way of teaching !!! Keep on such lessons and thank you on behalf of all the new guys out there !!

Even though many viewers will probably know how to replace a clutch cable, it is always very useful to have the procedure explained in detail once again by a specialist such as yourself. Example: position the slots in the adjuster on the the handlebar away from the weather. A good point! You learn something every day. Keep up the good work, glad to see you back on the job.

couldn’t stress this enough, if you own a bike, get the shop manual for it. Once you’ve reviewed the steps that the manual prescribes, the KZfaq videos make 1000% more sense and will stop you from the pit falls that all bikes are adjusted the same. I can’t say that I had any luck with any of the slinky glide products though. The throttle cables literally wouldn’t glide (ironically enough) and the clutch cable was inexplicably 30 mm too short. Had to clean and lube the old throttle cables and sourced a new OEM cable when I did this job. More than anything though, it’s great to provide people with the drive and interest for doing these jobs themselves! 👍

@Moonfleet41 2 жыл бұрын

Yeah, you're right buddy, the service manual is your Bible, even if you're isn't laid out with step by step guides and instruction, then at least it will still have all the correct settings, tolerances and specifications.. and setting things up right is half the battle. Take care and have a great week.. D&Px

Lesson learned yesterday started my 600 and was checking a repair on my exhaust. All fine I set off bike was not pulling right but not that bad as I could only do 30 anyway. On way home it felt jumpy then was reviving at 2.5 not my normal tick over of 1.5. I had a similar problem years ago on my 250 that time it was the cluth plates. I thought this is all I need as I no longer have anywhere in doors to work on it. Got the bike onto my front garden then noticed the problem. I didnt push the choke all the way back doh! I'm 61 been riding since 16 years old. So your never to old to cock things up.

@@garya3056 The only two times i have dropped the tank pump assemblies out is on a Sporty and a Road Glide.. yours most likely lifts out the top like all big twins, the lower half of the internal assembly is hinged, and you need a small screw driver to unlatch it, and then it folds out straight from it's 'dogleg' position, and can be withdrawn.. sadly this was before i make videos... but this link may help you buddy..!? kzfaq.info/get/bejne/l5qXfdiLrJ7bpIE.html

Yeah, you're right, It's a hard debate buddy, they have a right to a living, and a qualified technician commands a healthy salary, then of course all the other overheads... no quibble with the level of dealer bills, they're all perfectly explainable, but with really simple tasks like this, you can side step some hefty bills for a little time and effort yourself..!

@Moonfleet41 2 жыл бұрын

Hi Norman, thank you for your kind words, I actually made that engine guard from scratch myself using sheet metal and welded the frame in behind it... there is an early video series on it in the Triumph Scrambler Playlist on the Channel... you can buy them and they're easy to fit, but they don't come right up the front of the engine in that way!

Great video, Thanks for sharing, do you need to add oil for the slinky glide cable?

@Moonfleet41 2 жыл бұрын

Hi buddy, both the OEM one here and the Slinky are similar construction, and any brand new cable will be fine installed without pre-oiling, It's after that where you need to make a choice, if your bike never goes out in the rain, then it won't ever really make much difference, but on the other hand, if you ride every day in all weathers, then it's beneficial to oil it and keep the inside cable from corroding.

@russcattell955i 2 жыл бұрын

A little oil will always help. Back in the 70's with my trials bike I used to turn the slot in the handlebar adjuster upwards and add a few drops of oil inside, leave it overnight. Because in trials I rode through streams, a little emulsified oil wept from the lower end of the cable. Same with the front brake cable (remember them) !

Great simple skills video Del, especially for a Triumph rider! The only question that came to my mind was when should a clutch cable be replaced?

@Moonfleet41 2 жыл бұрын

Hi Wayne, a clutch cable does a lot of work, and will wear over time, so if you ever see a stray wire that's broken away from the end, that will make it weaker, or when it gets stiff and notchy.. they're consumable like tyres and brake pads, just a bit less often.. so keep an eye on them buddy.
