Installing carbon fiber goodies and changing the air filter on the Triumph Speed Triple 1200RS 

@@1993russy You're welcome. Thanks for watching and taking the time to respond. 🙂

Thank you! I'm glad I could help. I hope you are enjoying your Speed Triple as much as I am mine. Also thank you for subscribing. I don't get out on the bike very often lately, but I still post videos when I can.

You're welcome. I'm so glad you've had no issues. Thanks for watching and commenting. 🙂

You're quite welcome. Are you ordering a paper version of the manual? If you can get one please let me know. My understanding is that they are only available as temporary online from Triumph. Enjoy your new ride.

@@scottsspeedtriplechannel I plan on ordering printed version...I didn't know of their availability, but will let you know what Triumph says. I also got the heated grips, which connect to the main wiring harness where a plug is in the jack for the grips(don't know exactly where this harness is and how to identify the correct circuit) and I really hope some version of a service manual is available!

@@frankgelormini8227 Being from Florida, I didn't get the grips. I have a set of heated gloves that work pretty well though. And thanks in advance for letting me know about the manual. I really want a hard copy for myself, too.

@@scottsspeedtriplechannel and order a subscription for $8.33/month. I bought a subscription and will use it for a few months then cancel and renew as needed (until a printed version is available!)

@@frankgelormini8227 Thank you for the update. I'm going to look into that. Enjoy the ride. I hope to hear from you again soon.

Thanks. I already have my SC Project muffler. I'm going to try to install it this week. I plan to do a very thorough sound comparison including in garage, out side, fly by and acceleration audio. I will also include decibel level comparisons.

I had to go look at it again because it's been such a long time since I changed mine. So you see the bolt near the rear sprocket. There is also a bolt just in front of the hole in the side of the swingarm that is put in from the wheel side facing out. If you get a flashlight and get your head down in there you might be able to see it. There are also two threaded collars in the chain guard itself. The front one is for one of the hugger fender bolts and I think the second one is also. So you would have to remove those bolts before the chain guard could come off. I am certain that I had the rear wheel removed at the time when I replaced the chain guard. I was also changing the hugger at that time also. To remove the rear wheel you would need a special socket and a stand for the bike. You would also need to remove the muffler to get the wheel off. I didn't remember how complicated it was to change the chain guard. If you're having any thoughts of getting the carbon fiber hugger, I'd suggest you get it and do both at one time. Sorry I couldn't be the bearer of good news. Best of luck and thank you so much for subscribing. I haven't been uploading much lately, but plan to start again soon.

I did not make a specific video about installing the scrolling indicators. I did mention it somewhere in one of the videos that they are indeed "plug and play". The most difficult part of the installation is having to disassemble the rear taillight/signal/license plate holder to run the wires. I did not disconnect the battery during the install so I had no "service overdue" code when I finished. If you do disconnect the battery, you will need to reset the date and time to clear the "service overdue" code. Thanks for asking and enjoy the install. They are more visible and look pretty cool with the hazard lights on.

When I took the fuel line off there was no pressure in it. I did not turn the power to run throughout the entire project though. I think the only time you would get fuel pressure is when the bike is in the run or on position. A little bit if fuel dribbled our, but nothing major. I'd like to know how you got the online service manual. Is it directly from Triumph, a factory manual?

I didn't get the belly pan sides or center. I have been waiting to install the carrier wing. I have been trying to find the part that goes above it that I had thought I had ordered but only got a very small "center infill" piece. So it is still not installed. You may have just given me the initiative to get it done though. Thanks. I'll post a video of the install... maybe soon, maybe not so soon, but I'll give you a shout out when I do. There's been a couple of times I started imagining what it would like like with every carbon fiber part available. I can find all the bodywork and all the black plastic covers. The tank would be the only painted part left.

Yeah. That could be possible from where the OEM license plate holder attaches. I haven't seen or heard of anything yet though. I know Triumph used to have passenger grab rails available as an OEM accessory many years ago though.

No. Not once. It takes a bit of firm pressure to make it close, but it has always worked.

@scottsspeedtriplechannel thanks for getting back to me. It always closes but I had a little trouble last time

You are not the only one. Either "2up vlog" or "Sgt Sodom" or "cuban Rider" channels had people mention that. I don't remember a fix or even a why it happens though. I have forgotten to close it a couple of times though. My tank bag is large and after fueling up it sets down over tha cap. Twice I think I have just fatened down the bag and ride away. The bag is tight enough that no gas was spilled. No warnings showed on the dash either.

@@scottsspeedtriplechannel I am just going to make sure it's closed. Thanks again

Yes if you are only changing the fuel tank infills. The frame infills required the airbox plus removal.

Thanks for the reply! Any issues when installing the windscreen? By issues I mean weird Triumph warning messages, etc? And may I ask where you got yours from? Thank you very kindly for thr patience and replies!

@@dblhelx I have the OEM flyscreen and windshield. You can order them from Triumph. The windshield attaches to the flyscreen but you can install the flyscreen without the windshield if you prefer. To install the flyscreen, the instrument screen has to be unplugged. I found that anytime you unplug the screen or disconnect the battery, a "service overdue" warning will show until you reset the date and time. When the power is cut to the screen it reverts to the year 2000. After resetting the date and time the "service overdue" light goes out. You could watch the setting the clock and shift indicator light video and it shows that. You're welcome to ask questions anytime. If I can help I'll gladly do so. Thanks for watching the videos. I hope you keep watching in the future.

Directly above the battery box are two "electronic parts" just wider than the box itself. The top piece snaps into place and has only three fairly large electrical connections at the rear. Under that is another part in a plastic housing with two plastic "pins" that slide into grommets on the left side of the bike. That piece also has a bolt holding it down on the right side. I had to move both those pieces to reach into the frame infill area more easily. I did not disconnect the connections, just lifted them up and back out of the way. I have a question for you... is the #1 cylinder throttle body butterfly plate held by a gold colored cross piece like mine? If you look closely at the throttle bodies, mine has a gold colored bracket or brace on #1 cylinder, but the other two are black. Thanks for watching. I'll have a new video out soon with the SC Project exhaust sound comparison. I hope you stick around for that too.

Quick answer... no. I had some minor issues that were irritating, but never affected the rideability of the bike. No quickshifter problems, no oil pressure problems, and no coolant problems. See my "One year with the Speed Triple" video to hear about them.

@@scottsspeedtriplechannel Thanks appreciate getting back to me love that bike

No. Mine fit great. The tank infills fit better than the originals.

No. The error message I got was for "Service Overdue". The time and date had reverted back to the year 2000 when I disconnected the battery. I reset the time and date and then the warning went away.

The carbon fiber is from Carbon FBR in England. It is a small company that specializes in Triumph parts. The "flyscreen and windshield" are OEM Triumph accessories that can be ordered through your Triumph dealer. Thanks for watching. Enjoy the ride.

@@scottsspeedtriplechannel Thank u👍🏼

Yes, that is the OEM "flyscreen" and windscreen. They are two separate parts. You can just install the flyscreen if you choose to. I always ride with a pretty large tankbag (usually stuffed full) so I have a good "windbreaker" from that alone. When the bag is not so full, the screens do help with direct wind blast a bit. I have noticed on days with heavy winds that I seem to get more buffeting with the flyscreen and windshield than before I installed them. I only had the bike a month or so before installation though so it may just be that I did not notice the buffeting before I put them on. I felt like the flyscreen completed the looks pretty well and would protect the instruments screen some also.

Also be aware that I cannot get into a full tuck with the tank bag on.

@@scottsspeedtriplechannel Thank you for the answer sir. I appreciate it

So a lot people/ videos mention the intake sound being so good. I honestly don't even notice it until the exhaust valve is open which is not often for me. Yes, there is deeper intake sound when I get on the throttle hard. Overall for most riding I just hear a deeper tone.

I misread your question Can. I replaced my air filter with an OEM one. It made no difference in the sound of the bike. I posted a new video of the SC Project muffler installation, which made a big difference in sound. I thought that was what you were asking about. Sorry.

The catalytic converter is welded to the headers. The exhaust consists of three parts. The first section are the three header pipes with the welded on catalytic converter. The O2 sensor is in this part just in front of the cat. The second part is a black squarish collector/ primary muffler. It uses a donut type gasket at the headers and has two pipes exiting the rear. The upper of those pipes contains the exhaust valve. Lastly is the large silver secondary muffler. Sorry about that, but thanks for watching. I hope you continue to watch and comment in the future. A full system might be the best way for you to go.

@@scottsspeedtriplechannel thanks so much, It sounds like I need headers made too...

I'm in St. Augustine. Reach out if you plan to be in the area.

How far from Clearwater are you

@@rogerbarfell9075 It's about 215 miles, about 3 1/2 to 4 hours drive time.

Dang

They come from Carbon FBR in England. They specialize in Triumph and there are lots of parts available. If you want to match the front fender, order the "Twill" pattern.

@@scottsspeedtriplechannel Thank you, would you tell me too? where did you get the tank pad? that's exactly what I'm looking for

@@z_brez_r1687 They came fron Amazon. It's actually three tank protectors. I wanted to cover from the front to the seat so one wasn't enough. I cut and arranged them to suit my needs. The brand name is "Otiliman". I also saw some from "labelbike" 2 3D gel protectors that I really liked. They had one for the top of the tank and two for the sides with the Triumph Speed Triple 1200RS logo on the tank and the graphics on the side match the "RS" logo. Really cool. BTW, thanks for watching the video and I'm glad you commented.

@@scottsspeedtriplechannel i got a wind screen from them it was PERFECT....top notch work...

A Carbon FBR windscreen?

Yeah, makes me wonder a bit. Hopefully all the internal stuff stays tight. 🤞
