Hooray! - now it just needs some gentle exercise, a little chip-shop run - Bridge of Allan, near Stirling is recommended! Failing that, swing over to Oban or even Whitby, & watch your fish-supper flapping it's last in the batter trays of doom. Either way, both of you, 'get-down-on-it' & put thy knees in the breeze - the summer of 2073 will be over all too soon! : )xx

That was a joy to watch. Got my XJR in pieces at the moment for tyres, brake pads, chain & sprockets, swingarm grease, oil and filters. As a newish rider these videos have been a great help and inspiration when it comes to diy spannering. Cheers.

Hi Del. Those wheels and tyres look amazing! Noticed on your last shot of the bike you had a bit of wood to prop it up. My scrambler is the exact same, seems to lean over a lot. Would be nice to see you fabricate something to correct this and I could copy 👍

@zm5375 Жыл бұрын

Excellent work as usual Del. I am sure it has been asked many times but do you use the same multi purpose grease for your fork shaft/axle and do you lubricate your wheel bearings as well? Thanks for everything you have made owning and maintaining scramblers and your other bikes simple and easy to DIY!!!

Hi mate, yes for general purpose just use an ordinary LM grease, it does the job and I change it often enough to never need anything more special or specific. Glad you enjoy the videos, thank you for your kind words.

Overall, I like what you’ve done with it. Only thing I would have done different. Add a floater front rotor. I have an 06 and the floater and a set of EBC HH pads made huge difference in stopping power. Left side rotor from a Honda F3 is a perfect match btw. Mine is a EBC for said F3.

Delboy, I saw you wipe off those wheels and tires and it reminds me to ask you a question. I have HD lower fairings. and there is a rubberized surface on the door area of the hard lowers. And it has a whitish residue. Any tips on how to make it just normal rubber color? These are directly from HD and less than 6 months old.,

@Moonfleet41 Жыл бұрын

Hi buddy, the best thing to dress rubber is silicone, you can buy the nice smelling dashboard shine type spray silicone, or even products like GT85, they will leave the rubber with a deep rich shiney appearance and the coating will help the rain water to just roll off, so preserving as well!

If i'm not mistaken (from experience and recognizing the tread design), almost anything will be an upgrade from those Continentals. Had them at the recommendation of a mechanic 4 years ago. Wasn't a fan in the least. I think the new ones will be much preferred.

Hello, I watch a lot of your videos and I learn a lot about the maintenance of my motorcycle I want to ask Up to what size of wide tires can I use without modifying my Triumph scrambler 2008 efi

@Moonfleet41 11 ай бұрын

hi there, thank you for your support.. You must use only the correct size tyres on the factory wheel rims, no wider... BUT, if you fit a 5" wide back wheel rim, then you could fit up to a 180x17 tyre, and a 120x17 tyre on the front, but it MUST be fitted onto a 3.5 inch front wheel rim.! NOT on the factory wheel..! I hope that helps.

Once the forks are clamped in the yokes, they'll stay in alignment unless they get a knock, you don't need to do the alignment for just taking the wheel out, only if you take the forks themsleves out, and even then, they'll self align if you clamp them up from the top downwards,
