Just wanted to say, you can replace the air filter without pulling the tank, all I did was remove the 4 torx holding the rear tank bracket to the frame and pulled the left breather hose and was able to lift the tank up to get the job done.
I am about to attempt this and it's my first time doing it. At what time in this video do I stop what they are doing to be able to just lift the gas tank up and change the filter out? Just so I am not doing anything that's unnecessary.
Okay I just want to say thanks to these guys for making this very useful and detailed video. I will say doing this by one’s self is I would say 6.5/10 hard. I was also doing it in the Florida rain under a tarp. So I’m sure if you have the right setting and patience the novice can easily do themselves and save $hundreds in labor fees.
Just did the DNA filter on my 660…couple of notes. This indeed can be (and was) a one man job. Secondly I did not have to disconnect the fuel line under the tank. Getting the air box screws out required my lifting and holding the tank while I unscrewed em. Hardest part was realigning the bolt on the front right hand side of the tank.
Thanks for following up your last Trident video with this one.👍🏻. Just saw you remove the Positive on the battery first - it’s recommended to remove the Negative terminal first. I’m not sure why…but it’s in the Service Manual.
Sorry for the delay, we were waiting on the tuning device to arrive. Hopefully the feedback was helpful and thanks again for the battery tip. I don’t know why it matters either but I’ll make sure for the future!
@@MotoViceOfficial If you've got a tool on the positive and touch anything metal, you're going to arc. Undo the negative first and it opens the circuit and less of a chance to weld a wrench to something :)
@@MotoViceOfficial Ive just found out the hard way radiator mounts on this thing are of thin gauge metal. Frame sliders & radiator guard are very necessary on this bike.
They designed it as if the air filter will never be removed. Thank you triumph engineers. Need to sell the motorcycle before the air filter gets dirty.
Hi, I saw that you removed the battery then when you refitted it did you have to reset the engine lights or nothing? Thanks I ask because otherwise I have to get a diagnosis thanks in advance
This is the most complicated air filter replacement I’ve ever seen… And I’ve been riding motorcycles and repairing them for over 40 years… I just bought a tiger 660 sport… after seeing this video… I’m gonna sell it as soon as I can…
@Le0L0mas I think you're missing the point and I say this as a trident owner (as well as owning several other bikes). The point is it shouldn't take 3 hours to do something that would only take 15 minutes on any other bike.
I reply to all comments on my videos, so please support the channel by dropping a like, comment and subscribe for future content!
Sweet Jesus! Could Triumph make this any more difficult? Geez!
hahaha your telling me!

left and right as well? I see there are two breathers on the tank
can confirm, just did it
@roadchildx I just pulled the one on the left, seems like it's just a touch too short to get the tank high enough

Thanks for posting this. I did this job in early February, without instructions. I wish i had recorded it. I'm glad you did.
I hope it will help any other triumph owners with their bike!
3:51 Always disconnect the negative terminal of the battery first. To install is the opposite way, connect the positive first.
Thank you! A previous viewer let me know that as well.

@@MotoViceOfficial I really like your explanations, with tool sizes being mentioned every time. Really helps to plan the job.
@@wl660 Glad it’s helpful. Trying to improve the quality of my content with every video!

@@perpetual98 thank you! I’ve always wondered the correct order.
All that just to get to the air filter? Holy crap.
Yeah! Your telling me!
Man what id give for a larger tank on my trident! Just an extra gallon is all it needs!
My buddy said the same thing!
@@MotoViceOfficial Ive just found out the hard way radiator mounts on this thing are of thin gauge metal. Frame sliders & radiator guard are very necessary on this bike.
I don't imagine it's much different for the tiger 660 sport. great video yall!

Thanks for the video, I just used it to changed my filter to a dna one.
Nice! Glad it was helpful!
Iridium spark plug install video please.
I'm interested too 😅
A great video, very informative, thank you. Question - Is the fuel line self sealing or does the tank need to be drained?
Nope, the fuel nozzle is self sealing.
Damn, i'm coming from a kawasaki trail bike where the air filter was like 4 screws away and i just bought a Trident, this is scary😂
Clean bike😮
Can you do a video replacing/upgrading stock fuel controlers on direct fuel injection bikes? Thanks!
If the issue comes up with a friend's bike definitely!
Where do you get engine internal parts or gaskets??@@MotoViceOfficial
@@MotoViceOfficialspecifically for this bike. Thank you
Where did you get your wheel decals from? They look awesome!

Bro you live in santa clarita? Can you help me install a rizoma drag bar and dnk airfilter on my triumph trident 660? :)
Woodland Hills. Got a lot of riding buddies up there though! Drag bar? Do you mean the handlebars that bend down?
Nice job!
Thanks!
would been better if u wrote down the tools you used :)
Goodjob! How to remove spark plug bro
Yes that would be great video.
Iridium spark plug install.
It look’s overly complicated to change a filter. I suppose it’s not something that you have to do too often.
No a good filter should last you at least 6k miles.
Triumph recommends 10k miles (16k kms)
Yall think I should replace my spark plugs while I’m at it? I need to find me a manual hahaha
Just lift the tank up on one side to change the filter. No need to remove it.
Well I guess we took the hard route, but either way, if someone needs to take off their tank for any reason, this video might be helpful.
I do not like the idea of disconnecting fuel lines.
I had to loosen the hinge bolts to slide it back but the hinge does work.
@@brodymader687 Good to know. Thank you!
Do you need to remove the tank cover?
Convive cambiarlo si vede una differenza come prestazioni??
Cant find the tune video bud?
where did you buy those frame pads on the engine?
Hey there. Do you mean the frame sliders?
Where's the ECU in this bike?
I'm waiting for your response.
Hi there. What response are you referring to?
@@MotoViceOfficial UA-cam thumbnails?

Really?? Over a filter? Well how much you want the bike for and where do you live?
Too soft for the bike imo lol I just did plugs and air filter. Took me 3 hours. Not hard or complicated. Get a scooter, bud!
