That oil looks better than most oils do brand new?!?
Did you see the state of the filter Steve?... I guess it was doing it's job!
@@Moonfleet41 Apparently so! What kind of filter was it?
@@steveo7767 Don't know Steve, came with the bike, first time changing it !
@@Moonfleet41 Oh ok, thought you had the bike for some time and did frequent changes. Id change it to if I didnt know when it last was changed.
Hello Del, a question about the oil used, why do you use this Petronas brand? Recommended by Triump is Castrol, my dealer uses Motul...
Only use 'red' rubber grease on o-rings or rubber seals, normal grease will cause any rubber to swell/deform. Worth stating on these T3 bikes that there should be (as yours correctly has) a steel washer either side of the filter - many bikes only have one as the other is thrown away stick to the old filter.
Great video, I am considering buying one locally and wondered about the service.
Great step by step instruktion 🙂
You forgot - or forgot to show - changing of the small O-ring located on the bolt!
There are two O-rings to be change on a oil change - the small one at the button of the bolt and the big one.
The bolt has to be taken out and the small O-ring will be reviled ;-)
I want to be your assistant in the workshop with you. I fixed a lot of different motorcycles, but we're very similar in my opinion.
Do you only use Hylomar on the oilplug, no copper ring?
The old washer was still there, i just didn't have a new one !
To my understanding the condensation of water in the engine is quite normal in wintertime. Is that right? Because some riders in a group stated something about worn piston rings / valve(seat) which allows water vapour thats part of the combustion seep through. I feel like thats nonsense but I do prefer to ask someone who is an experienced mechanic because im just a ME student and wouldnt want to share wrong info. Thanks in advance.
Condensation is a reality, but only if you continually make short trips where the engine doesn't get up to full working temperature for long enough to vapourise the condensation.
105$, dollars an hour for labor is a problem for us mill hunkies. I try to do as much work on my road king as I can, fluids included....
What was the blue goo u put on the oil drain plug del?.....thread sealant?
Yes buddy, Blue Hylomar is an oil joint sealant ! our local HD main dealer has a winter special discounted labour rate of £99 an hour and that's apparently 25% off !! but i guess they have staff to pay and overheads, no complaint with that..!
@@Moonfleet41 ....thanks for responding del, you always do and I really appreciate that man. I get the whole overhead amd staff has to be paid , but since the plague hit in the states there's alot of price gouging going on as well as the typical price increase on everything imaginable....some things just don't have to be as expensive as they are...but I am die hard harley davidson always will be.
You said that right "some things just don't have to be as expensive as they are", in the last 10 years the bike dealerships have aligned their prices with car dealerships.. but then our local HD dealer also owns a Lexus agency and a few other car brands too over multiple sites... so i guess it's just a kind of leveling up !
@@Moonfleet41 wow, really!....
Ya the new Harleys are pricey but very nice machines. Do you like your M8 del?...id really like to have an ultra one day with the m8 114. I rode a street glide the other day, twin cam model, for the first time amd I've been riding all my life.... I've always had a road king, amd never thought I'd like the street glide until I rode it...and it was an older model with a twin cam 103, it was still an awesome bike!... so when I trade up do I stay with the twin cam or go for the m8?. Is the power amd torque increase as noticeable as everyone says?
Dell, what are your thoughts on flushing the engine through with some sacrificial oil. I have 4 litres which I have used 10 or 11 times before each oil change, just drain the old stuff, chuck the flushing in and run for 10 mins. Then do the actual oil change. Thoughts?...
Well if the oil you're flushing with is clean, then yeah, good idea, but if you've used it 10 or 11 times already, is it not a bit skanky and contaminated by now?... if it's not, then maybe ok, but TBH i just change mine twice a year and it always comes out still pretty clean compared to old neglected oil.!
Not heard of Hylomar Blue before, why do you use it? for leaks or plug retention
Here you go ! hylomar.com/en/universal-blue/
This gave me a cold sweat. On my daytona 12 the sump plug stripped. Somehow by some miracle it was the thread on the plug not the alloy thread in the sump. Another miracle was I had a brass radiator plug and washer from who knows what old car that fitted perfectly. The feeling of dread when going to undo the plug and it gave up. Who knows how it got into that condition . The previous owner of that engine was a colleague who'd had the donor engine from new in his trophy. We swapped engines , he bought the daytona scrap and wanted its engine in his trophy. I took the remains and built a tracker from the daytona and his trophy engine. I wanted the torque he wanted the top end . Different cams in identical engines. I think the trophy engine was much more useable in my naked home made bike. He was riding from Lincolnshire to Scotland every week so I guess he wanted the power on the motorways ?
I like the kit bike design of the trident trophy daytona sprint etc from the mid 90s. I put a trident complete front end on mine including clocks brakes etc. A very simple way to make my faired bike naked.
Enough waffle from me!
Peace and love ✌️ ❤️🤗
I remember that bike mate, that was pretty much when we first made contact right?.. thanks for sharing the wider story, it sounded like the perfect deal to both get what you needed..! Have a great weekend and keep safe aye.. D&Px
@@Moonfleet41
Yes it was 2012, wow ten years! We were in our 40's!
🤗
@@springy-2112 Ha ha... was it that long ago brother...!!!😜
I can't believe that so many people hate your videos..mind boggling...it's very clean, informative and to the T!
Hey Del! Longtime Fan of your Videos as an avid Bonnevillerider and -servicer. I am currently looking for a second bike. What di you think about the Trophy? Who‘s the person that needs this particular bike?
Not sure if i quite understand your question mate !?
@@Moonfleet41 sorry, English is not my first language.
I am thinking of getting a 2nd bike, preferably a Sportstourer from the late 90s to the Mid-2000s. Seeing you (a person who’s opinion on bikes I highly value) with that Trophy sparks the question what special qualities of that bike you like about it. And maybe what you‘d consider makes it superior to orher bikes of that genre (VFR800, FZ900, R1000s and the likes).
Even with having to work around the high pipes to get at my fill plug, it only takes around five or ten minutes to perform an oil change on my Scrambler 1200XC. I had to get myself a funnel that has a 12-inch-long flexible tube on the end of it to pass behind the pipes and the problem was solved. I particularly like that Triumph designed the oil filter placement in such a way as you can remove the old one without creating a mess similar to the wreck of the Exxon Valdez.
Yes mate, now and again Triumph do come up with some clever thinking!
Great bike, mine is same 1995 and 68k miles, just had carb’s cleaned and a noticeable difference in power 😊
Still sounds like a tractor 🤣
As you say: The more you do yourself for bike maintenance, the cheaper it will be.
Cheers from Nürnberg, Günter
Great knowledge sharing thanks guys! x
Intresting but why do you use blue sealant if you have a washer , wouldnt ptfe tape be better to seal the threads. But a good informative video and good tip about using greas on the oring nothing worse than reading with a pesky oring that jump out of place that all ways finds it way into dirt or being snagged when tightend up balloning out 😪
Another nice, straightforward video Del, with the nice little tip about grease on the O ring, for those that didn`t know. I have always used Vaseline for that and many other applications. I remember an old bike mechanic telling me years ago that if Vaseline is okay to put on babies` skin, it can`t hurt a motorbike.
I totally agree Dave, simple common sense that you may not find in the manual, but mechanics have been doing for years... there are lots of tricks and hacks like those that we can all use and benefit from !
@@Moonfleet41 That is exactly why your channel is so good because you explain everything you do, which some people may know but others don`t. I have been working on bikes for close to 50 years and I still pick up the odd useful tip. Great channel.
That used oil looks very clean. Quality lube will keep your wheels turning for many a year! I also like that extra filter element idea! My pickup just rolled over 400,000 miles, and when people comment on how long I've been driving Ol' Betsy, I just tell 'em that oil is cheaper than engines, so change it regularly. Happy Halloween, Del & Penny!
Great point Tommy, even spaceship message engines can keep going with routine maintenance, it's neglect that kills them!
So Jealous of you guys who can ride in the winter.......Even though the sun was shining, It was 3 degrees when I Rode to work today and just about froze my bollocks off.
Oh no.. not that cold already... im happy to ride in any cold.. but the later in the year that can come the better.. still mid teens here and just wet.!
If only it was that quick and easy on all bikes aye.
Very few bikes are much more involved than this mate.. Harley's maybe, but a simple oil change is never more than an hour aye !
@@Moonfleet41 I know that even on a wing
Great video brother ! so satisfying to give your bike the proper maintenance your self ! I love the fact that by working on my car and motorcycle Im able to save a lot of money and enjoy doing it. Keep up the great work brother ! stay safe guys cheers from new york !!!!!!!!!!!😀 🍺🍺🍺🍺
Couldn't agree more, the money you save is an aside from the pleasure and pride in doing it yourself.. Have a peaceful Sunday both of you and take care brother... D&Pxx
Another great video Del. I'm the only one that touches our bikes and car/truck.. It save me money plus I just really don't trust anyone else to work on them.
Friday evening.....kid's out at girlfriends house, wife has been fed with fish supper.....and I get some motorcycle maintenance video with Del in front of a gentle wood burning stove. There is almost no noise in the house. It's cold and filthy wet outside. I've a lemon cider by my side. Is this the closest thing to heaven on earth? I think it is.....THANK YOU DEL.
Thanks Scott, glad to contribute mate ! have a good evening.
Makes me miss my '95 sprint 900 in midnight blue!
I like the "Kink in your filler hose" brilliant idea!! 👍👍
6 minutes?? No.. longer !! Took time make video …🤣😂😅🤣. I always enjoy watching some olde fashion filters on olde days… great job and have nice weekend!!
Finally caught up! Thank you for doing what you do; so well!
You are so welcome!
Hi guys,what did you use for the black rivit type dots on the black goldwing...thanks,great channel
I've just done a compleat health check on the tracer new brake fluid and oil, also done the throttle bodies. I gave it a once over my mot is tomorrow afternoon. I'm expecting a couple of advisories but alls well so far. Have fun and take it easy, if they go together lol. Have a good weekend peeps.
And you mate, good luck for tomorrow!
@@Moonfleet41 cheers.
i love an oil change nice work del
Between 2 cars and 2 bikes, I spent almost $600 on oil and filters this year. I’d say that was a $2,000 savings alone. Certainly worth the sweat equity investment, I agree.
Yeah, ads up when you own a few vehicles aye. !
What a fantastic oil filter innovation - I've just done my son's 30 year old GSX R750 - what a performance that was! Another great video Del - keep them coming - please
Ha ha, happy memories, burning your hand as you wedge it between the down pipes to grab the filter..lol!
Mix of getting the oil warm with a quick lap of the block, and wait a few min for the pipes to cook down enough to not scold yourself
@@wobblysauce Thanks Wobbly - the trouble with those old Gixxers is that you can't get your hand through or behind the pipes. The only way I could get at the filter was to take off the exhaust system. Still - it gave me the chance to polish the pipes with Solvo - and they look great.
@@tonytucker7184 sure you could side fairing off, oil wrench and twist, had a early 90's black with pinkish stripes...
Though it has been a while since having it.
A nice easy little job, it's very rare that I let the shop loose on mine, I think we need to save our penny's now, getting so expensive
Top advice on when to change the oil.
I had forgotten about condensation and the subsequent water in the oil.
Nice one Del need to get on with that next. At least it will be a less strenuous job to do on the bike.
Yes the cost of living dosent seam to be getting any better but must get some new tyres but in the past I would buy part worn.
God bless you Del and Penny x
I've used part worns myself Marc, hard times, extra measures! Have a great weekend mate.
Hi Del fantastic advice mate Thanks for sharing you and Penny have a great weekend
Thanks, you too mate!
THAT would have to be the easiest job I’ve ever seen you do!
So much easier than a Harley ain’t it.
Great advice Del. You and Penny have a great weekend. Cheers.
Same to you mate!
I am watching your videos with great interest for a long time now and since I am driving one myself I was wondering what happened to the good old Suzuki Bandit 1200? Del, keep on doing such great videos. Cheers from the country of cheese and chocolate.
I saw the General the other day on usernamekate's channel.
You could clearly see the Delboys garage sticker on it 😀
@@Butterfly07949 the general was Delboys orange 955i Tiger
Love your videos Del, always simple, informative, and to the point without over explaining anything.
Also, how many miles do you cover a year to warrant two service intervals?! 😂
Great video mate, for me I like to see the engine oil this clean on my bikes when servicing tbh some might say its a waste of time n expensive but I always change at half of the manufactures recommended maintenance schedule but then again I've never, fingers crossed had any major issues
Exactly that mate, you can't change oil too often!
Nice video Del & Penny. Job well done mate, glad to see I am not the only one who writes the date on their oil filters lol. Penny and you have a great weekend, hope things are all good for you both. Take care, Cheers
Sure thing mate, i wish everyone did it, it gives you a great measure of how long it's been in there.. i bought the bike new to me in the summer, had no idea when it last had oil, so for all i knew it could have been in there for years and been like Marmite !! happy it wasn't too bad, and now i have a level field for the changes ahead ! Have a great weekend mate, and keep safe. D&Px
Love these maintenance episodes, especially on what I think of as the "Golden Age" of motorcycles, (1979-1999 for me personally).
Great work, straight forward stuff and there is always something to learn. This must benefit and save money for a lot of folks. Excellent, no change there then :)
Thanks Tony, good to hear from you mate.
great little vid Del
Thanks Tony, good to hear from you mate.
Never miss your vlogs, watched them all for a good few years hope youre both keeping well
@@tonywaterhouse5291 Thanks mate, really appreciate your kind support.
Crazy prices for oil changes I always do my own on the bikes and cars we have.
Great video Penny and Del! Essential maintenance, straightforward and to the point. Well done. Take care, be well and have a wonderful weekend!
Thanks buddy, you too!
Great quick vid for those that don’t know. Simple enough anyone can do 👍🏻
Thanks mate👍
Good video. I enjoy doing my own maintenance as I consider it a hobby and I am frugal as well. I also consider myself trying to keep ahead of breakdowns as part of equipment managing. Cheers!
Good policies both mate !
Great video! Thanks for the tip on the on keeping the gasket in place. I love my T300 95 Thunderbird! Keep those T300 videos coming:)
Great video with sound advice!!
Can't beat the simple skills. Knowing the fact you have done it yourself (knowing that it has been done) 😉. And saving money along the way. Top stuff Del.
Thank you for the new video. It is always a pleasure to learn from you. Good health and regards.
always a pleasure Del👍
Thanks mate 👍
You hit the nail on the head Del. Condensation will kill an engine, especially a lightly used one. Now that I'm retired I also do 2 changes a year on my jalopies as opposed to 12 or so a year when I actually went out and earned a living.😁 I also invested in a lift that gets used for the bike, lawnmower, snowblower, etc. Best investment ever especially for these old aching bones. Still have to crawl under the 4 wheelers though. Respect for showing the proper way to carry out this important job. Many thanks to you and Penny and God bless you both. ❤👍👍
Too right Rick, you get past bending down and grovelling around on your knees, and I specially don't mind working under my Land Rover because you don't have to jack it up to crawl underneath, so no risk of it falling on you! Have a great weekend there, take care! D&Px
Nice job Del
