Glad this video popped up in my feed. I would've assumed I needed to take off the shifter lever and kick starter to get that gear cover off. It came off fine without removing either.
Superb John,love the hat!!! Looks familiar lol.Looking forward to old faithful firing up again so you can get your ass back down here when it's done so we can get some miles in on the twisty lanes again.Keep up the great work matey :-) Graham
Thanks for taking the time to upload these videos John. I have picked up a lot of practical hints and tips from all your uploads. Looking forward to following you through this rebuild. All the best. Dave, Ontario (ex Goathland!)
+Moto Phoenix Hi Moto :-) thank you. Yep magnets should be kept away from other strong magnets. I wonder just how many triggers have been ruined from them magnetic dish things.
Lovely stuff, it's always a lesson to watch you tear this bike down. Familiar turf for the long term viewer, but something new to learn every time and the question on everyone's lips has to be ' did he remember to fish that dome nut out of the old oil?' Hope to see you soon mate, I'll see if there's a chance to cadge a cuppa this coming weekend sometime!
Your video has helped me a lot! I'm busy working on my Triumph Tiger 100c and I also have a Triumph Bonni T120 1972 same as yours :) Thanks dude and keep up the good work!
Hi Moto :-) thank you glad to of helped. I haven't done much on the 500's one day I might get hold of one as I have covered most stuff on my Bonnie. Will do mate, anything I do will be uploaded, on the bike of course :-D
I'm looking forward to watching how you measure your cylinders for wear. Curious if we do it the same way. I'm about to begin working on my bike very soon. Just waiting for it to stop raining here in Canada. Thanks for doing the videos. I'm watching them as a refresher. It's been a long time since my last rebuild.
+Dan P Hi Dan :-) I usually asses wear through sight and feel, and leave measuring to the machinist. As I am curious to how much wear I am actually running with so I am going to borrow the gear to measure properly for a change. Bad weather is the perfect time to do your rebuild, then you can ride when the sun shines!
I find myself watching your videos when it's too cold out to work on mine. Great stuff. Question, is your gear leaver modified? Looks longer than normal. If so what's the motivation for that and how did you do it?
Hi Timothy :-) I do the same and right now it's too cold to be in the shed, roll on spring time. Going back a while I used to have swept-back pipes and they dropped down between footrest and gear lever so I extended the toe bit so I could get at it. the only other way would of been to fit rear-sets. To do it I bent a piece of rod then cut the lever and welded the two bits together.
