The rubber on the sprocket is for shock prevention it's a buffer if you were to remove the rubber you have to separate rings the inner ring on the shaft and the outer ring that the chain rides on. Putting less stress on a chain at takeoff and in between shifts. Less wear and tear on the chain. 😊
Paul excellent video. I made this modification and love it. My bike feels like it doesn't not stress as much on the highway. From what I can tell I gin about 3-5 miles per gallon as well. I assume it because the engine is not working as hard? Either way great job!!!
I imagine that spark plugs are next? That's the only home mechanic maintenance that's missing The air injector tubes kind of get in the way. A tutorial on removing them without damage would be very welcome.
That is correct, I did it because I mostly do highway riding and I wanted my engine to be at a slightly lower RPM. I calculated about 350 lower. You will lose a bit of low end torque but I am not one to rocket off from a stop, I like cruising.
Great video Paul. I like all your videos. They are simple and clear. I have a request: can you make a video of installing the Barnett green clutch springs?
Hi Paul, just wondering which document do you use to retrieve the specific torque requirements when screwing/unscrewing parts of the motorcycle. I could not find it on the thruxton owners manual. Cheers
I had a downloaded version of the service manual. It had everything including a wiring diagram. Unfortunately I no longer have it as I sold the bike years ago. Thanks for watching. Ride safe and have fun.
Another question.... Did you do the air injection removal? Sorry I keep doing the double posts... My brain's gone slightly stupid in the last 24 hours.
Hi, i have a question about 2014 Triumph Bonneville t100. I am trying to change the front sprocket to 19T and found out that there are two type of chain 525 and 530. Also found out that there are two types of sprockets as well in 19T size. Can you help me to find out that which chain pitch sprocket i should purchase. The chain is original and bike has only 1,500 miles on it. Cheers,
Interesting. Maybe they changed the chain type for the 2014. I never heard anything about that. My 2012 uses the DID 525 VM2 104 link x-ring style. It says this in the specifications section in my owners manual. Go to your owners manual and see what type yours is using and match everything to it. That's the safest way.
I use a program on my laptop called Tune ECU. It is available here: www.tuneecu.com/ You will also need a cable. There are many fake cables online that don't work. The first one that I bought from Asia didn't work. The good one that I got came from London England, a company called LoneLEC. There is a good write-up on the TriumphRAT forum site here: www.triumphrat.net/ecm-and-fi-tuning-help-tips-and-tricks/217097-tuneecu-cable-caution.html Hope this helps.
Putting a larger sprocket at the motor side lowers the RPM while riding. At highway speeds the RPM will drop between 300-400 (or increased speed for the same RPM). It will also lower the torque from a stop. It is a compromise depending on your riding style.
@@PaulPomerleau ok thanks good to know, do you order your parts online or do u have a local shop? If online plz share cause I am planning mods and sure would like a go-to online site for parts? also how much mph/speed did the new sprocket change that you had to readjust
I really can not remember how I purchased it, it was so long ago. I live in Canada and all my motorcycle parts I have to order from the States and have them delivered to the nearest point across the border and I just ride down and pick it up, so it was definitely an online order. I did the mod because I was doing highway riding and didn't like the RPM's to be so high. It worked very well for me.
Any man conducting mechanical work in a pair of slippers deserves a thumbs up. Informative and insightful. Thanks.

I don't even need to do this job, but ended up watching the whole thing for the quality of the instruction. Really well done video!
Thanks for this straightforward guide! Just what I needed, 19t sprocket currently in hand!
Please make a video showing the TuneECU adjustment.
Thanks Again for an awesome video.

Nice work! Thanks for taking the time to share!
Very helpful. Thank you for taking time to put this together.

Is there a video how to cal the speedo with tune ecu
Thanks Paul! You have a good day too.
Thanks for the video. Will mount a 17t front sprocket on my thruxton when it arives.
Gr Leon
Great video! Very clear and concise.
Thanks very much!
Excellent informative video, well done Paul.
this is an amazing, very straightforward video. Thumbs up
Great video Paul. I like all your videos. They are simple and clear. I have a request: can you make a video of installing the Barnett green clutch springs?
Marvellous! Thank you very much.
Thanks for the compliment.
I don't think I will be installing an alarm on this bike.
But aren't they just plug and play?
Nice video. Very helpful. ..... When is the cam change video?? ;-)

Helpful video - thanks for uploading mate!
Very comprehensive 👍 nice one mate.
Paul do you still have the Bonnie, can you do a video on the tune ecu, like everything needed , where to get it and how its done, cheers mate
Sorry man, I sold the Bonnie in 2015.
These are great videos! Do you think you can make a video on installing the Triumph Motorcycle Alarm system?
Thank you Sir for a fantasitc video. Happy Riding
Great video!
I changed the rear sprocket, I did not like the OEM, it looks kind of "budget".

thanks, found the number right on the chain, It is 525. Cheers,
With the +1 in front, your RPM's went down, correct?
Brilliant vid
No not yet, I don't mind it being there so I probably will leave it.
Cant say I blame you.. and it's definitely got enough low end grunt for most people.
Love it. Thanks for the video
how do you adjust the speedometer?

that is to say, you are going faster for a given RPM
Thank you sir
nice video...
What is the purpose of this mod? Thanks
