    Good video friend!
    Only one thing. In my owner hand book, Triumph recommend to use Castrol Power 1 Racing 4T ( here in Spain). In the video, you show Castrol Power1 bottle. In Spain your oil is not full syntetic. I don't know if in Canada the label or the name by Castrol is diferent.
    I just want to tell you this in case you want to check.
    Thanks for your videos.

      I've been getting my oil directly from the Triumph dealer and it's supposed to be fully synthetic. Our manual specs. Castrol Power 1 Racing 4T 10W-40 (fully synthetic) engine oil

    What's your input on this bike vs NC750x? I'm torn between the two.

    • @DonMPhotography
      @DonMPhotography  Рік тому +1

      Seating comfort wise they are pretty similar. The windshield system seems structurally pretty weak but I don't know of anyone that has had one fail, this limits options such as the madstad windshield which really helped on the NC750X. The NC is also king with regards to fuel economy while the Tiger 660 can approach 62 mpg (Canadian gallons) or 52 mpg US when riding easy on the throttle while the NC could aproach 80 mpg (Canadian gallons). The Tiger 660 is an exciting bike to ride. So much more power, sounds great and looks great! I couldn't even hear the NC above 60kph. The NC = practical and enough power to do the job. It's a commuter. The Tiger 660 is also a good commuter but with less mpg, more smile on your face. The traction control and dual front brakes is also a major plus but I do miss that frunk as do any other's that have come over to the Tiger from the NC. Do I miss the NC??? Nope. I still love my Tiger 660! If you do your own oil changes, you have to get an Android device and payed app to reset the oil change reminder. That's kind of a bummer. Otherwise the regular maintenance stuff is similarly pretty easy on both. The NC routinely got mayby 50 more kilometres per tank as far as distance between fill ups goes. 300 km per tank is pretty common on the Tiger as the reserve light turns on at about 280 kms.

    Good night friend, I just bought a tiger sport 660 here in Brazil. I would like to know how many liters of oil it takes to change the filter together.
    thanks.

    • @DonMPhotography
      @DonMPhotography  Рік тому +1

      You need to get 4 quarts and it leaves you
      a bit left over to top up, should you need to. I've never had to add mid way between oil changes though.

    what oil wrench did you use?

    • @DonMPhotography
      @DonMPhotography  Рік тому

      I used the oil filter wrench that came with an oil filter from our Honda dealer back when I was driving a Honda. But with water pump pliers or maybe even by hand you can get them off or maybe it’s possible to get a wrench/ filter combo from your dealer.

    Good video - very clear and practical, thanks. Are you going to store the bike on the paddock stand? We do have the same bike, by the way 😀

    • @DonMPhotography
      @DonMPhotography  2 роки тому

      My stand is nice and solid so yes .. I'm pretty confident of it's stability and it will keep the weight off the wheel. I don't have any stands for the front wheel yet so was just going to put something like a board or that piece of flooring under the front tire.

      Yeah ... I'm loving the Tiger 660! So much fun to ride.

    My tiger manual says 2.80 liters which is just under 3 quarts. Where did you read 3.25 quarts? Thanks

    • @DonMPhotography
      @DonMPhotography  2 роки тому

      The Casterol comes in US quarts not in litres ... even here in Canada ... so that measurement is what I actually pour into the bike from the American sized oil jugs.

    Did you only tighten the sump plug to 15nm?

    • @DonMPhotography
      @DonMPhotography  2 роки тому +1

      I have a cheap no name torque wrench, so yes I was feeling uncomfortable about going tighter just based on how it felt and left it at 15. I sometimes do that especially when it's a smaller torque number in the range that the torque wrench covers. I wish I had a smaller one with a lighter range to do these smaller torque settings.
