There is an appropriate 3/8" sq drv oil filter cup socket that properly grips the flutes on the oil filter, making it easy to remove. 65mm/ 14 flutes is what you need.
If its not stock, its 'custom' . Like you I appreciate the full professional custom built bikes, but you can make real visual difference with bolt on parts. I do sometimes get a bit fed up with the bike snobs..... I remember the shit storm when Triumph launched the bobber. Nice vid
Thank you very much Tony! yeah i think its a matter of perspective, some people have the skills and equipment to cut weld and machine and i have the utmost admiration for those people. However us mere mortals who don't and cant afford to throw thousands of pounds at a professional builder, only have to be content with bolt on parts! but i do believe it is a legitimate form of customisation that should still be recognised. Thank you very much for watching and for your comment sir!
Excellent video! Stuart, have you considered recording a video regarding options for a flat tire on a remote country road? I had a flat tire which I was unprepared to resolve years ago while driving a friend’s 1959 Triumph 500. I had to leave the Triumph with a nearby resident next to his driveway while I hitch-hiked back to town and returned next day with a truck and help to load the bike for return to the repair shop.
There are a number of UA-cam videos on the subject, but I’d really enjoy hearing your opinion.
My questions relate to what you would do in this situation?
1. Recommended temporary external fix like sealant, plug, etc.?
2. Carry a portable battery air pump? Any particular brand?
Thanks and keep up the great videos!
Superb video, yes I am catching up with some of your past work
Quality goods from Motone
Pity they don't produce things for other manufacturers machines
How do you go about resetting the wrench "oil change" light after you are done?
Thank you for doing your show. You have saved me money on sum bits for my bike.And help me out on a lot more.Motone has a lot of nice bits i hope to see them all here in the states.Also hope that problem with triumph,will not happen with my speedmaster. Triumph needs to step up if this become a big problem and fix it if it is their doing. For free i might and. Comments! come on people if you cann't say any thing nice ,don't say any thing at all.Just saying! Have a good time on your time ! and ride , ride, ride!
The back of the oil jug says it all. It's JASO MA2 rated! For my Tmax, I have a K&N oil filter removal "cap tool". Works great and I can use my small torque wrench on it if needed.
I've had very bad luck with the seat bolts. I have the pretty useless though pretty Triumph rack and getting the both on and off is still a huge pain. It may be that I have the set made by British Customs and maybe those are not long enough but then on another note, someone walked off with my first set and one fell off with the second set. Without an Allen wrench, you can't tighten these down enough for them to stay on or deter thieves.
I suppose it depends on where you leave your bike sir. removable seatbolts or not i never let my bike out of my site when i park anywhere slightly suspect.
when the oil has settled down to the bottom of the sump, are you still supposed to be able to see the level thru the sight glass? New Triumph owner. Thank you!
Yes, absolutely providing the bike is level.
Nice video! And what comes to custom builds - these newer bikes are as what I believe such that almost any change that you do, there has to be some kind of approval by authorities so basically goodbye self-manufactured parts. That is if you want to maintain street legal status of the bike. Well, I may be wrong...
Iivari Dark that makes perfect sense sir! And i think your right! Most of the relevent parts we are using do have the relevent type approval!
I see you answered my next question which involved whether you used the manufacturer’s recommendation regarding the intervals. Again, I have been riding for almost 50 years and still picked up a few common sense tips for a routine, yet important service. Thoroughly enjoy the Yorkshire approach to motorcycling.
Thank you Jeffrey, yes i do consider servicing and routine maintenance to be very important! look after her, and she will look after you!
Great vid Stu... really looking forward to this series ....
Thanks Dave, and thanks for looking in!
Great video. Thanks again Stuart. Is the T120 any different?
your very welcome Carl, thanks for watching!
Hi Stuart, how many km can you run with this Silkolene full synthetic oil ?
not sure what silkolene recommend but, it should easily be good for 10,000 miles on the T120. i would just stick to the service intervals for your bike.
Stuart after buying my new t100 few weeks later it started leaking oil, finally figured out it was coming from galley plugs. It was under warranty so called my dealer, it was like talking to someone that sold lawnmowers so l repaired it myself. I had to take starter, headers, off to get to plugs, and after draining oil l could not believe how much oil came from the starter portal and galley plug holes.
Hi Terry, ive heard a few horror stories about dealerships similar to this with various warranty issues and have indeed experienced similar responses to problems with the T120, so i know exactly where your coming from mate!
@@stuartfillingham I can relate to this I bought a 2013 T100 new and within days there was a few drips of oil on the garage floor so took it back to the dealer. After a couple of hours he told me he had fixed it and said it was the engine vibration which caused the oil leaks, I told him mate I owned a T140 in my younger days and these don't vibrate.Got home and still had a few oil drips. I contacted Triumph Australia to state my case and their response was take it to a dealer, Triumph showed no interest in satisfying the customers concerns. In the end I got a workshop manual and proceeded to check the torque on all engine and sump bolts and found the sump bolts were way under torqued hence the oil drips. Torqued them up and hasn't leaked since. If you want a job done properly do it yourself now do all work on the bike.
Hi Stuart
Once again a interesting video and some nice touches done on the T 100 .
Can't wait till the next installment .
Will be interested on the oil change on your t120 and the oil .
Please keep them coming.
Regards
Paul
Me as well. Imagine T120 is the same, but don't want to assume it is....
Thanks Paul, i certainly will!
Loving the Motone parts Stuart and the T100 is already looking good. Another great video Sir!
Just the practical bits so far Paul. just trying to offer ideas in manageable bite sized pieces. filming the next episode as i type this!
Nice one matey. Straight practical easy to follow vid.
Thanks Mike and thanks for watching!
I like the way your tutorials are so detailed, with extra information explaining why it is so. A very skilled production 👍
Thank you Phil, and thank you for watching!
The extended seat screws and other matching knobs look great! Most of the bikes here in the US are customized with off the shelf parts. There used to be an oil filter socket that fit the end of the oil filter to a ratchet or extension, not sure if they're still available.
Ive had one or two bad experiences with the oil filter cup wrenches. theyre of very varying quality, but your right if i can find a good one that is definitely the very best tool for the job!
Very informative, clear and concise. Well done Sir !!!
Thanks Lash!
As always, thanks so much for the clear and detailed info; just ran out of oil about a mile down the road from my house, spent the past few hours taxi'ing around purchasing the misc. components needed to change the oil at home, and now heading back to the bike on the street corner to change the oil...all in all, you're a life saver.
Nice to hear from you Keith, i hope everythings ok with the bike, good luck with it sir!
Love your work Stuart ! excellent videos and information for the biking community. Keep up the great work. Cheers !
Thank you Darren, i shall try!

I was stupid forgot my account password. I would appreciate any tips you can give me.
@Clyde Brennan Instablaster ;)
@Logan Mauricio Thanks for your reply. I found the site through google and I'm trying it out now.
I see it takes quite some time so I will reply here later when my account password hopefully is recovered.
@Logan Mauricio It worked and I actually got access to my account again. Im so happy:D
Thank you so much you saved my account!
Great stuff Stuart 👍🏻
Nice one Stuart thanks
Good video and a nice bike. It'll look a lot better with the battenberg gone.
thank you Colin Battenberg already partially gone sir, tis a work in progress!
What year did Triumph place a low fuel lamp on their bikes? I just bought a 2005 bonneville and am wondering if it has one. Thanks.
Did the 15 w 50 due to being stuck in traffic and bikes get really hot on the left side for some reason
I did notice it drinks a lot more of this oil when filling up
Love it
Thank you Martin!
