The clamp thingie on the rear break pedal was cool. I had to get into all sorts of contorted shapes to change the fluid on my Sportster and reach the pedal.
I recommend running the fluids at the proper level... bleed some fluid out the same way that you did for the flush before adding new pads... then proceed to fill the reservoir back to the proper fill level. Or better yet take care of the pads now. This only makes sense to be able to reference the factory marks.

Spot on the best maintenance vid for Triumph oil change and brake fluid. Very straight forward and pro. (Also no lame background music!) I laughed when I saw you grab the wood clamp because (hard to believe) I just bought one today at Harbor ?Freight on sale for $3.49. Genius! I put that in my bag of tricks.
Any reason you changed to dumping the front brake master cylinder as opposed to cautiously (not below cylinder hose level) siphoning it out in your previous video?
I bought my 2019 T100 in 2020from the dealer and it had just been serviced with 2200 miles on the clock. I received a message from the dealer that it needed an MOT this year. So I contact them and they offer a free MOT with a service for £335 I’ve only done 2k miles. Think I’ll just service it myself.
How do you know how many times to fill the reservoir (brake fluid) - I couldn't see the difference between the colour of the old and the new fluid when I did it and had no idea of what the total volume of brake fluid was
On average a twin caliper system will take, maybe, 3-4 full reservoirs to purge through at least, it may not change colour, but it's the water content you're looking to get rid of!
I had my '04 Bonnie on the lift this weekend. Noticed the oil looks murky through the sight glass. Yours also looks murky and it's fresh. My '05 Thruxton looks clean. I wonder if there is something to the sight glass.
I suppose am a bit confused. The bike has sat over night and on its side stand. When I look thru the site glass I don't see any oil. Does it need to be on its center stand to see the oil level? Sorry to be a bit slow.
@@ferdinandnovilla5151 No problem buddy, it's a common question, you check the oil level with the bike upright, and as the sight glass is on the right, it will naturally disappear when you tip it on to the side stand... so centre stand is good, and if you don't have one, a paddock stand is just the same!
I have 2 questions. Where did you get that awesome bash plate that goes up over the oil cooler? Why did you put grease on the brake fluid resevoir bolt, aren't you worried it will vibrate loose?
I know it's wrong to envy etc., but I do like that bike. Excellent film work too - things just gets better & better . . . Pity no one thought to hinge that bash plate up one side of it's length, (couple of pinch bolts to hold it 'shut' etc.) it's only really there to stop rocks going in, not rods coming out, so having it 'burst' proof both ways is slight overkill - even for a Tri . . . . Did I say it's a nice bike? : )x
Thank for the video . Btw , may i ask where did u bought the Radiator +machine cover ? oder did just design that urselfl ? i would love to have one for my Bonn

Hey Del, grat work on your vids. What is your take on dealing with a ABS system after bleeding the brakes? I know this is a 2013 so no ABS. I got a bobber 2019 with the modulator though…
I saw recently on Amazon a bag (qty 20) of those aluminum drain plug washers. Have you had any experience with the aftermarket washers? I did fluid change, last year, on my Rocket III and I had three of those washers.
I stripped a plug once while putting it to the specified troque. I used a callibrated (Hazet) torque wrench, setting was spot on, and cleared out the casing threads. It was my first time doing the oil cap to the specified torque, before I just tighten it wrist thight. Never ever had a strip or leak. I torque almost everything to spec but I don't do that for the drainplug anymore. It's a big hard steel bolt in an alloy case. in the end, use a troque wrench but don't follow it blind.
@@herbert4501 Alloy threads in things like sump pans get bruised over time due to slight and continued over stretching and end up weakened, chances are mate, you did nothing wrong, the thread in that sump was probably already damaged and you just finished it off... bad luck buddy, things like that leave a nervous shadow every time to touch them in the future aye..
@@herbert4501 Wise words indeed mate, you can actually buy aluminium sump plugs which will sacrifice themselves before the sump thread if you're worried, but hey, there's no substitute for temperance.
@@royking1 Actually, if you want to be really nerdy, it's not mechanical engineering that's responsible, but the American building trade, for generations they've resisted any use of the metric system and the schools only teach it on demand, so a whole civilization grows up with no metric and actually, I quite like the old imperial system,after all, it was ours first aye? and is often easier to use in certain applications.
OK, you can still bleed them through mate, or do you mean you have linked brakes? As they can still be done, it's just a matter of operating the cylinder.
I like this model, it's classic. If I can't take the XJR-1300 anymore, I might replace it. Only the brake fluid holder is undemanding! It doesn't fit, but it doesn't fit a motorcycle!
Hey Delboy, like your triumph videos. Saw your AIS removal video but us liquid cooled guys need some help with the EVAP system removal. Got a couple conflicting reports and would love your expertise on the removal with a video.
Hi Del it's a service that you are doing for guys like us world wide. It's always a joy watching you work. It's like watching a meticulously planned surgery. Del I have a query as I live in India and sourcing parts for the bonnie is a big procedure, can I use a matching oil filter that runs on a suzuki 1lt 16 valve DOHC engine. The dimensions of the filter are identical and it costs one tenth of the ttiumps
Hi Prasad, I hear this a lot with India, it's a real shame you don't have a better parts back up over there... What you're suggesting is sound thinking, and yes indeed oil filters are pretty universal, provided the fittings are the same... the Bonneville's actually use a very short filter, so that it doesn't hang down below the frame rails (being mounted under the engine), and then it can't scrape on the ground, or a kerb, or get hit by rocks and be torn open... so if you are using a filter with the same fittings, that fits on cleanly, then make sure it is the same height as a canister and doesn't hang down below the frame rails.... then it should be fine.
@@Moonfleet41 thanks for the prompt reply. The dimensions of the filter I found is identical with that of the Bonnie's. It's manufactured by Suzuki. Now that you have cleared my doubt I am much relieved. Thanks a ton and keep up the good job..
I wonder if you can make a video of checkin and calibration of torque ratchet? I have a 2000 HD Night Train and I have greatly benefited from the videos you posting. Thanks.
Hey Del. Love these types of videos. I use a vacuum tool to change my brake fluid. Have you ever used one? If so any disadvantages that you have noticed. Thanks pal. Keep up the great work.
In an earlier video, Del explained that he removes, completely lubes both sides,, and then reinstalls the filter gasket to assure the gasket is slippery so it won't 'pucker' up when the filter is torqued down.
Hi Del, great vid mate, can't beat a bit of regular servicing, like you said all ready for the new season.. Quick one mate, is that front mudguard standard it looks too sit quite high, just wondering, great looking bike though, ride safe, and batton down the hatches, storm Dennis is a coming aye.. 👍👍🏍️
Excellent as always. Looking to upgrade my ride to a Bonneville now I have an open license. My mechanic has warned me of leaks. Is this an issue with the bike or poor use of the bike?
Great idea with the clamp changed my clutch fluid this week as upon opening the reservoir it looked like thick brown sandy porridge
Good call mate, you can never change it too often.
@@Moonfleet41 cheers👍🤘🤘
The clamp thingie on the rear break pedal was cool. I had to get into all sorts of contorted shapes to change the fluid on my Sportster and reach the pedal.
Ive been watching these Bonny videos during quarantine and upgrading my 2015 Bonny Spirit accordingly. Cheers for the uploads.
Thanks mate, glad to hear it and appreciate your support, we have a new project coming next month and I think you'll rather like it!
I recommend running the fluids at the proper level... bleed some fluid out the same way that you did for the flush before adding new pads... then proceed to fill the reservoir back to the proper fill level.
Or better yet take care of the pads now.
This only makes sense to be able to reference the factory marks.

Why you pulling the seals out of a brand new oil filter before fitting it?
It only drops in to a slot and it's beneficial to get some oil in behind it and then re-install it, which all helps to seat it perfectly when you install the filter.
Where is the front mud guard you made ?
Great tip on the level being replaced the same as it was Del !!
Spot on the best maintenance vid for Triumph oil change and brake fluid. Very straight forward and pro. (Also no lame background music!)

So glad I've bumped into this video! Love the way you show us what to do. Brilliant! Thanks for sharing what you do!
You are so welcome and thanks for your feedback mate.
Any reason you changed to dumping the front brake master cylinder as opposed to cautiously (not below cylinder hose level) siphoning it out in your previous video?
Cool idea with the sandpaper on the filter, i used a belt on my parent's car the last time (my bike uses a reverse threaded bolt for it's filter).
I bought my 2019 T100 in 2020from the dealer and it had just been serviced with 2200 miles on the clock. I received a message from the dealer that it needed an MOT this year.

I absolutely love the clamp on the brake , fantastic idea , as we all now it can be a pain trying to do it normally 👍
Could you do a video on the valve clearance check on a bonneville?

Never fail to drop some obvious but overlooked knowledge and tips.

Quick one mate, is that front mudguard standard it looks too sit quite high, just wondering, great looking bike though, ride safe, and batton down the hatches, storm Dennis is a coming aye.. 👍👍🏍️
Factory Scrambler mudguard, the bike just has different wheels, 17x3 on the front, rather then the factory 19x2.. leaves a bigger gap.!
@@Moonfleet41 cool jobs a dream, cheers Del.. 👍👍🏍️
As always a very helpful video!
Thanks Harold, great to hear form you, simple routine maintenance, you can save yourself a lot doing it at home!
Amazing bike!!
Amsoil - best oil you could ever use (in my opinion)😉
not like my old bonnie
Nearly 5 litres? 🤔
Excellent as always. Looking to upgrade my ride to a Bonneville now I have an open license. My mechanic has warned me of leaks. Is this an issue with the bike or poor use of the bike?
Not heard about leaks as a known fault, certainly not on modern Triumphs anyway, perhaps he was referring to old classic bikes?!
6:18 kkk ok, it's a good idea, and it made me laugh. hello from brazil.
