Hey im sorry to ask for the part numbers, but i orderd the kit and its too big but i have the exact engine as you, can you give me the part numbers plz ty so much
Does anyone have the link for the updated sprag and gear?? I have an 02 speed triple 955
I can’t find any parts to change it over 😢 but this video makes it so easy
Can you do this without an oil change?
Thanks Tom. I appreciate that this super video was made some time ago, and will be most helpful in changing my sprag over to the new one on my 2006 955i shortly. I've read on some forums that the sprag gear should be aligned for TDC on the case. The video does not mention this. Does it need to be at TDC?
There's no indicator on the sprag itself for any alignment... And I certainly didn't worry about TDC on my fix.
Thanks so much for replying. I'll finish the job with confidence.
I know im a bit late but was there a part 2 install? I cant see it on your channel
I never got around to chopping up the video. Important parts were to make sure to torque the bolts to the right force on sprockets, mushroom the rivet on the chain approximately, and measure chain slack.
THANK YOU!!!!
You need to position the cam on a suitable solid stand not on you
The only thing worse than a black plastic dipstick is the shiny CNC machined one - now that requires perfect conditions just to be able to see the level! 🤣🤣
Nice video! The dipstick indeed sucks bigtime
Congrats for the tutorial mate, great tutorial✌️ can you tell me where i can order the upgraded sprag clutche?
Hey Thomas, do you happen to know the brand and model of the frame sliders on your Speed Triple? Thanks!
Great help thank you 🙌
I had a 900 Daytona of 1996. Fortunately the sprag clutch never gave me problems in 26000 miles but it blew up. The sprag clutches were hard to repair as access wasn't good and it's a known weakness. I would've expected Triumph to sort it out by the 1050 motor came out.
Too bad the damn head lights aren’t that easy! 😂
I just changed mine with the revised version and it just started making that same noise it made before maybe like 500 miles after the brand new one clutch and gear smh never getting a triumph again
Damn… i was about to buy the kit which seems to be $550! Now you got me scared. Did you change the battery? Did you kept trying to start it over and over forcing the new sprag or it just failed out of the blue? Thanks!
@@Rodterraa , from what I can tell this problem is always exacerbated by bad battery habits and keeping a battery in that shouldn't be. Most of the people I've talked to, that have had this issue had admitted to keeping a bad battery in, never changing it, or using a cheapo battery to save some cash (which just caused more issues). Not saying its the only issue, obviously something here is not 100% on the "reliable engineering" side of the design, but then again they did redesign it in later models, which hopefully helped.
Hey you might not see this, but I have saw you have a shifter with a shift linkage and was wondering where you got that?
Hey sorry can't help on this one... Bought the bike with it like that...
Oh no worries, thanks
I have a Triumph 1050 bike. When it is cold, it works and when the temperature rises, it does not work until it cools down a little. What is the main reason for this? Please answer my friend
Hakim chichi
What is the issue that's being addressed here? How would I know if I had this problem? New 1050 owner asking. Thanks
Your bike won't start. It will go " click click click clunk... And refused to start with the starter button. Common issue on older S3s.
I have two rounded out screws at the bottom of the front sprocket cover. Any tips for getting it off?
Might have to cut a slot into them (Dremel or similar) and then use a flathead screwdriver. I've had luck once with the rubber band trick, you wedge a piece of rubber band between the bolt and socket.... Gives it just enough grip to get it out.. Worth a try
If I replace my sprocket how can I fix the speedometer to show the correct speed on my 09' Speed Triple 1050cc. I really need help!
Not easily.. If you go up or down on teeth it will change your gearing and speedo readouts. I've heard that there are electronic boxes you can put in line, but honestly I've never researched it as the change in speed isn't going to be that great of a difference and I'd only worry about it if there is a cop around.
I can't thank you enough. Had my sprint about a year and this went bad. Absolutely love this bike and it broke my heart. You made it look easy.
Where did you order these parts??
Thank you for this video!!! I have to do this job tomorrow and I feel much more confident now.
Hey man, thanks so much for your video. This will def be helpful. The one thing you didn’t show was exactly what the symptoms were that led you to replacing it. I just bought a Speed Triple about a week ago. Was running well but had intermittent starting issues that got worse day by day. After a few days, I got stranded by it and was only able to get home by roll/push starting it. With that in mind, I’m also thinking it’s sprag clutch or maybe starter. I checked the gears (removed little cover) and everything looked good. I’m curious if you can watch this and let me know if this is what yours sounded like as well. This is with a fresh, tended battery at 100%. It def cranks but sounds pretty terrible and obviously won’t start. ua-cam.com/users/shortsi-JabBxZai8?feature=share
Hey Bro! just one question: What are the threads on this bike? Metric or inch? Thanks: Miklós
I am so grateful for this video, very well explained thru the process, thank you so much! I just wish you should have used a better (cleaner?) camera.. but hey, the message was spot on! Cheers
Looks easier than the earlier engine. That's an engine strip.
Dude, your video is saving my sanity..thank you so much , new to the fuel injection Triumph, (side note I have a 78kz and live it as well) mine just went out, and you make me feel like I can get it done. O5 St 1050, got part any numbers??
Part numbers are buried in the comments somewhere. Glad this can help!!
great video ty. when you tried starting it before fix was there a sharp crack sound
Where could i find the kit to purchase it
No kit but part numbers are in comments below. 3 parts one sprag, two gaskets
Hi mate, have the same problem on my 955i ST. Can you tell me if the sprag clutch of the newer 1050 ST is better? Will it suit mine 2003? Or is it the same big as the 955i
I'm not sure if the 955 and 1050 sprags are interchangeable. The thing I would do is see if the part#s are the same ....below in the comments somewhere are the part numbers I used for my 1050. You just have to hunt down a parts diagram for your year and see if they match up. I really have only experience on the 1050 motors and can't speak much on the older bikes. Good Luck
@@mendeztom thanks mate!
What if i accidently turned the crank a bit while trying to unscrew the sprag clutch? bcz the engine with the chain also moved a bit. didnt i messed any engine marks?
Awe come on, nobody else in the world has a wife as helpful as yours!
Great!!
Hey man. Is this how your bike sounded? I am having starting issue though now it doesn’t turn at all. Only clicks at the starter button. I think my issue is clutch plates locked? Pls check my video on UA-cam. Thanks. ua-cam.com/video/gUwKrSqvkyg/v-deo.html
Nope. That is much worse. My guess is you actually have broken teeth on any of the numerous reduction gears there. I would undo the covers and visually look for metal chucks on the right side first where the starter engages.
@@mendeztom Damn! Man that sounds scary. So I have no clue what that is? Reduction gears. Is this in the transmission or gear box? When you say, remove the right side meaning the 3 covers? Clutch cover and the 2 covers you removed in your video when fixing the sprag clutch? By the way, great video. I have watched it over and over few times. Thanks
If this was me, if first take off the small cover on the starter and see if the gears there are missing teeth or screwed up. Then move down to the sprag cover and see there as well.
@@mendeztom Okay I reread your first msg and makes sense. I think you talking about the starter gear that just turns one direction anti-clockwise? I shall try and open all those covers one by one starting with the starter. May have to wait couple days as it’s gonna be raining on the east coast and I have to work outside. Thanks.
@@mendeztom You are right about that. So I finally had couple hours today and the weather cooperated so I went downstairs late to open up the Starter cover. And I saw some metal shavings and saw teeth broken off a gear. I shall post video for that later. But right now I have major emergency and I think I am screwed. What a dummy I am. Pls check out this video and you will see. Does this mean I have to pull open the Valve cover and strip the engine to get to the screw? Is there anyway I can get through the plates by the chain to get to the gears inside so I can find the lost screw? Thanks Man/ ua-cam.com/video/jBqxlpXhLZU/v-deo.html

This was very useful because I am upgrading the starter and sprag in my 2008 Tiger 1050. I would make a couple of comments - despite what you said, you don’t need to drain the oil first. Also the manual says there is a washer under the head of the crankcase cover bolt which is just to the right of the starter motor cover but on my bike, there is no such washer. You don’t mention it either but watching your video, the face the bolt tightens on appears silver - not black like the rest which suggests that maybe there was a washer stuck to the face of the black crankcase cover????? Also, on my engine, this one bolt is about 5mm longer than all the others which are all the same length. Finally, the reason you struggled just a little taking off the crankcase cover is because the starter motor is holding it with its O-ring. I removed the starter motor first because I am replacing it and the cover came off easily just pulling by hand.
Great video Thomas. But you are to young to own a kick start bikes 😀
Does the bearing and gear need replacing also, aka the full kit, or only the sprag clutch assembly? Thank you so much for the video!
If you check out the comments the part numbers are in them. I reused the needle bearing, the part that is the "sprag clutch" is actually 2 pieces as you can see in the vid. I inspected the bearing and it was fine, but you never know until it is off. No problems since and it has a been working great since the fix.
Massive help! Thanks so much!!
Wow, I want an assistant like that. Radar from Mash comes to mind ;-)
@Calvin Marcelo Flixzone is a scam!
dude you rock this video helped alot the shop tried to rip me off said it would take 10 hours to do it plus 1000 dollers for labor alone not including the part they wanted 2000 or more to do it they thought i dont know bikes lol thanks for the video bro i got a 98 triunph daytona
Glad this could help!!!
Thanks alot man......i just hope i can get the parts
Thomas, thanks for a great video! Can you please navigate me to some video of a speedy with broken down sprag clutch? I am not sure what exactly the "tick tick clunk" sound reffers to. I have also issues starting my 05 speed (video is in my channel) but mine doesnt seem like something I would describe with a "tick tick clucnk" - SOEMTIMES it starts as if there was no "choke" (i know it should be electric/automatic tho) and sometimes it doesnt start at all. And sometimes it starts normally. But my starter motor always cranks like a beast, and it can crank for as long as I have the courage to keep the starter button pressed (which hurts me SO BAD) so I think my problem is not the sprag clutch - any idea from somebody who will look on the video in my channel is highly appreciated! thank you!
Hate to say it but if you had the tick tick clunk, you would know. I had thought that the S3 kills the starter motor if it doesn't start up after a few seconds. Def don't run it continually. I'll look for your vid to comment.
Are you in Chicago ? I'm having the same issue ,,,, i think . Would you mind " mentoring " me as i do this ? Obviously not for free....I'm just north of ORD. . Also ,i dig the frame sliders,,,custom ?
I am... We can talk. 😁
@@mendeztom Damn that was a fast reply ! How do you want to communicate ?
@@ThatsMyBully I think on my channel page under the about is a my business inquiries email.
@@mendeztom I'm not seeing anything. Do you have it enabled on your side . It's not showing your email .
@@ThatsMyBully Weird..I think if you are subscribed it might? Try one more time and if not we'll figure something out...maybe contact me on insta mendeztom
Is the procedure the same for they same year (2006) Daytona? Might be a dumb question, but better safe than sorry
All triples are similar, I would look for a shop manual or hanyes/climer to be sure
Seriously considering buying time lapse cameras to document repairs on my Triumph just to share with other triumph owners.
Hey quick question did you buy the whole kit or just the sprag clutch?
Oh and how much different is the 1050 from the 955i
Just the sprag
Thomas Mendez sweeeeeeet
Hi. Have you had any problems with the engine. Like rough idle?
Yes... Lots of issues with the S3. Overall make sure your gas is clean and add fuel injector cleaner...I was misfiring and that helped the nice idle. Also watch for air leaks and make sure all the airbox parts are on clean and square... That helped a different time.
