Finally I fix the rattling sound coming from the engine and give this bike a proper cleaning and a full servicing. Changed the Oil, oil filter, air filter, and sparkplugs Man does this thing absolutely move!!
timing chain noise, on cold start there is always some. when the engine warms up, the block expands a little. making the chain a little tighter. alloy expands more than the steel chain. imo..
Great video! Sadly you don't have the subscribers you deserve. I have a STR 13' and I'm loving this bike! Gonna fit a shifter-france quickshifter really soon actually :)
Thanks man! It's all part of the journey, we're just happy to start somewhere and have people like you cheering us on!! I love quickshifters but honestly love the feeling of clutchless shifting and riding through the gears at full tilt! But let me know how the install goes, I might consider it and a Dyno tune
Have a look at the HJR products shift controller. It's a QS. I fitted one to my 2016 STR. Works perfectly, and it's only £ 130. 3rd of the price of OEM. Loads of guys with STR's have them fitted.
Hey there, just wondering if you can share which OBD2 adapter you used to balance the throttle bodies. I see a variety of elm327 sold online from $5 to $50. I've got the DealerTool, but would like to see what TuneEcu reports for balancing. Thanks - i like your video editing.
Thanks yo !!! It’s an OBDLink LX which I believe is one of the very few ones that are compatible with triumphs and TuneEcu, I highly recommend it , also balancing the throttle bodies was pretty finicky, I couldn’t get it to match within 10kpa , Hope you have a better time of it 😂
@@CagelessDelinquents Sick. Thanks man! I balanced without issues at both idle and 2k rpm using DealerTool. I see if I can get my hands on the LX to see what kind of reading it gets me. Appreciate the tip!
There's a third party app called TuneEcu made specifically for triumph that works through connecting an OBD II reader to the diagnostic port under the seat, I have the OBDLink LX which has served me well. In the app has the air pressure (kPa) sensor data from each throttle body allowing you to balance them
How many miles? I just hit a little over 12k on my STR and doing that service interval which includes valve check and adjustment. Have you checked the valve clearances?
Just over 21k, I haven't done a valve clearance check, they told me it was done at 18k when I bought the bike (do I believe them? Maybe) but I love working on this bike, nothing is overly complicated and there aren't proprietary tools required, the tune ecu app and an obd II reader gets you into the cpu, and all the parts you need are readily available online
It was because the chain and valves would clang for 2 seconds on start up before oil pressure built up in the cam chain tensioner, the street triple was a known problem and there’s an aftermarket piece that’s manual, so you just set it and forget it really, but I couldn’t find any for sale so just bought oem
Nicely made but not very informative. In my understanding, the rattle is caused by a stretched camchain. The only wearable component in the CCT is the spring that can be changed for cheap (Sprint Manufacturing). It is easy to see if the spring is compressed by measuring the length of it. Also, one has to be very careful when removing the CCT, when done incorrectly, it will cause mistiming of the pistons and the valves with absolutely catastrophic consequences for your engine and will be the death to the bike. I am not trying to be a smart a$$ here, I am preparing myself for replacing the camchain and the CCT as part of a bigger job on my bike.
And to be clear: to fix the rattle you need to change both the camchain and ideally the spring in the tensioner. That procedure involves a lot of work, including removing the cams. Which is why it is expensive. But at least it can be all done without removing engine from the bike…
