    Thanks for sharing mate. I do all the maintenance on my T120 myself. I plan on changing out the tires and rotors, will film the process like I always do... but you just really helped give me a head start... especially that front wheel. For me it's not about saving money, it's about having the job done with attention to detail... I won't let anything slip by me, and I'll make sure the job is done 100% correct. I've had too many bad experiences with poor mechanics who don't take pride in their work. I do have a couple guys I trust, but it's good to know how to work on your own bike anyhow.

      Glad it was of some help mate. My maintenance is mainly for cost saving as it's way cheaper to take the wheel to the bike shop as it is having them remove it to fit a new tyre. I do as much as I can but somethings I wouldn't attempt. Thanks for watching and ride safe.

    My 2022 Bonneville T120 had Pirelli "Phantom" tires on it when I purchased it eleven months ago. I ride about 500 miles a month.
    With 6,500 miles on these tires the rear one recently failed. I ride mostly in the inner city and on the freeway here in San Diego, Calfornia, commuting. I expected more miles out of the tires than that. Don't know what that is in kilometers. Thanx for the tutorial. It looks easier than I expected. Also, I removed the "pea shooter" mufflers, replacing them with exhaust tips from Motone, UK. It makes real wheel maintenance a lot easier and reduces weight. I also had someone replace the cat conveter with a cross pipe. Now my Bonnie sounds like a real motorcycle rather than a sewing machine.

      6500 miles is about 10,450 kilometres which isn't to bad for a rear tyre. They're not to bad a bike all round. Ride safe mate.

    I just replaced the rear wheel and tire on my 2022 T120 with a used tubeless one from a 2019 Steet Twin because I would feel more comfortable knowing that in case of a flat tire, there would be better options than calling for a tow truck. Thanks for your videos on the removal and reinstallation, which were extremely helpful . In my opinion, you could definitely call them "How To". Very informative, and I love your sense of humor. I needed the help of a friend for the reinstallation, and don't see how you were able to reinstall that rear wheel alone. Well done !

      That's a great idea getting a tubeless rim because as you say it gives far more options to get up and running again.

    Thanks a lot for the video. The reason why the front tire wears out before the rear tire is that Triumph fits the bike with a cheap Pirellis that have only half the profile depth (3 mm) as an original after market tire (6 mm). This can be seen by the fact that the cheap OEM fron tires have "Made in Brasil" on them, whereas the after market tires are "Made in Germany".

    I was lucky, my front tire came off without removing caliper. Ooopsie. My bike is T100 not T120. The advantange of having just one disk.🙂

    I ordered a 17mm hex driver to use on my 2004 America's front axle and then checked the axle with the hex head of a small spark plug socket and the hex that fit in it was .740 across flats or 19mm and not 17mm. Is yours really 17mm? Unfortunately I can't cancel the order, but otherwise the video was somewhat helpful.

      Phill they are an improvement on the OEM shocks, which isn't hard, but not as much as I'd hoped.

      @@MothershipVideos ok I was looking at the basic shocks, do you think maybe going up in spec would be better.
      Also my front tyre wore way to soon.
      I bought another the same but will be switching to Michilen front and back next time.
