There is a special socket for the top nut , that utilizes the holes in the nut. The previous model had a round nut!

@thefirstdutchguy 5 лет назад

tip for the crown plate nut: take a plastic sandwich bag, put over the nut, place the socket over the nut and bag. Best way not to damage anything!

@pmdinaz Год назад

As you may have learned, to not muck up that nut, should've used a 6 sided socket. My English riding buddies call em Farkles here too, and they pronounce stickers as 'dekels' if you were to spell it phonetically. I actually came back to see if you ever did a front spring or cartridge kit. I love my S2, but wish it had some better suspension. Looking at some springs in lieu of the cartridge kits as I'm not taking it to the track. Also a little jealous of those replacement rears you have on from the Thruxton. Thanks for sharing!

@c.g.c2067 4 года назад

Much, much better now Adam

@rscaryrsc 4 года назад

I did the same thing except I have a 6 sided socket and used a shop towel to protect the the soft metal when installing it. That piece is on other Triumph models too. It is worthwhile farkle.

@raykim4641 3 года назад

Like this kind of video! thank’s! and looks much better with the accessorys! we all know the difference!

@andrewbecker3700 2 года назад

I've done the exact same upgrades on mine except the headset nut which comes stock on them now. I went with a black oil fill cap, gun metal headbolt covers and clutch cable bracket, and then Autozone valve stem caps in gun metal. The dealer I bought the bike from had the billet brake reservoir, but the other items were out of stock. So in order to get free shipping from Pure Triumph I was forced to spend $98 minimum, when all I really wanted was the oil fill cap. Its definitely an addiction.

@miker6516 2 года назад

Thanks for showing that red chain guard.. makes me sure I don't want something like that!

@stefanfrittiert1038 5 лет назад

Hello mate first video I see in your channel and find it great, new subscriber! Love the relaxing music :)

@peterhatfield5632 5 лет назад

I really like those valve caps - trite, I know. BTW, and I speak from bitter experience, if those valve caps are aluminium, use some copper grease on them, otherwise galvanic corrosion can occur especially in our crummy (UK) climate - you're probably OK in CA.

@barryroberts2474 5 лет назад

Hi Adam, take care to keep your sockets a near upright as possible. You were a bit wobbly mate, noticably with the Allen wrench sockets.. Might save the integrity of the nuts.

@jamesmorrison5632 5 лет назад

The secret to getting blue Loctite and red Loctite nuts and bolts on Fast and is take a small torch and heat heat the nut or bolt up for a few seconds and then unscrew if you don't have any problems getting it off

@canuckbucks 5 лет назад

subbed, love the vids and Speed Twin is the triumph I'm interested in... (ok, the impending new Rocket intrigues me but i reckon any bike over 2000cc intrigues everyone, it's just that some people are not free to safely express their motorcycle interests. But I digress) I'm actually commenting to say how much I liked the piano piece used for the video. Really, really enjoyable music. Bravo.

@MotoChooch 5 лет назад

There is a + mark on the handlebar you can use to align it back if you need to take it off, it's partially visible in early your video on the inside left of the bracket.

@AdamCroll 5 лет назад

I saw that when I was looking at the footage while editing! Thanks!

@Cuzzazbuzz 4 года назад

Top tip, cover tank when doing this kind of work. Saves a lot of crying when you drop something on it...

@bc67 5 лет назад

Wondering if Triumph was trying to break up the aluminum look with the chrome nut. I like the one you installed much better though. Looks like you were a victim to being too careful with the installation though, unfortunately! Been there! I think you were good at one click. Did you notice that there's a + sign on the handlebar? Thinking that can be used for alignment too.

@peterhatfield5632 5 лет назад

Yep, the + sign is used for handlebar alignment. It does appear a little hidden, though, as you can see it only looking from the front of the bike, but is clearly visible in Adam's video.

@andrewbecker3700 2 года назад

Thier actually lever alignment etchings to keep them the proper distance from the end of the bars.

@DavidParker-jr5bd 5 лет назад

Great video as usual. I watch them as soon as they come out. BTW, Could you give a couple links for the torque wrenches?

@c.g.c2067 4 года назад

The original chromed one was so much better in my opinion... spending money to get it worst

@alessandropataro4422 4 года назад

Hi Adam, thanks for another great video! Could you possibly send the link of where the center nut can be bought? I see that on every video you list the equipment used (camera gear, riding gear, etc.)…it would be awesome if you could also list all the accessories you installed on your bike :) Cheers from a (soon to be) Speed Twin new owner and Triumph newbie, Alessandro

@AdamCroll 4 года назад

I just went to my dealer and said I want a steering nut for a new thruxton. I never paid attention to the part number. It was around $16 USD if I remember correctly.

@bluetube61 5 лет назад

All the farkle but you leave the warning stickers? Feel free to remove all of ‘em!

@alexc.3057 2 года назад

May I ask what is the exact size for the center bolt of the upper yoke?

@paulowens6004 5 лет назад

The only time iv heard the word Farkle was on Rowan and Martina laugh in back in the 70s when there was a family in one of there long term sketches called the Farkles. All their Christian names rymed with Farkle.

@markponsford4377 4 года назад

Hi Adam, that's weird that you say we (UK) use the word FARKLE - to my understanding I only ever see this word on USA sites, such as Adventure Rider? Anyhow, nice video's, well presented and useful, cheers mate!

@AdamCroll 4 года назад

Yeah I thought I heard that term more than once from European videos and publications. But I may have been misinformed, You’re not the first person to comment on the fact that that’s not a popular term in the UK. My mistake 🤔. Not sure where I heard it, it’s never been spoken around me. Lol anyway thanks for watching!

@tinks43 5 лет назад

Definitely an improvement 👍🏻 shame about the ding 😡

@WyreForestBiker 5 лет назад

Always hold the torque wrench at BOTH ends to keep the socket square …. basic stuff !

@jackchristodoulou197 3 года назад

Put a blanket over the tank

@yl851402ray 2 года назад

Nice video! What’s the size of that socket?

@3rteencarissa 2 года назад

38mm

@leegingerninja 5 лет назад

One click !!!!!!! That's all it needs. 90NM.

@AdamCroll 5 лет назад

I came from a world full of BMW stretch bolts where you click, double check and click again, then one more 1/4 turn. It’s just a force of habit 😆

@leegingerninja 5 лет назад

@@AdamCroll fair enough. Bad habit though buddy ! Try and get out of that habit 👍👍

@HORNET6 5 лет назад

Towel on the clocks...so why would you not protect the tank when you're over it with tools? Three clicks on the torque wrench...why?

@AdamCroll 5 лет назад

I’ve worked in BMW’s for years with stretch bolts, a click or two then 1/4 turn after. I guess it’s just a habit.

@jakahl1470 5 лет назад

I was thinking the same thing about the gas tank not being covered while working over it with this big ass sockets. Beautiful bike! I'm hoping to get one next year.

@ericb252 5 лет назад

What is the knee mat you use in the other videos? Just starting out to do mechanical work on my Speed

@AdamCroll 5 лет назад

Most of the time I use a cheap moving blanket!

@mattduffy79 5 лет назад

I have NEVER heard or used the word Farkle! I was so shocked at hearing such nonsense that I spilled my tea, while visiting the Queen at Buckingham Palace with the remaining Beatles 🤦‍♂️

@suggsy1960 5 лет назад

is farkle a made up word not one we use in the UK, loads of accessories for the bonnie plenty on my T120

@AdamCroll 5 лет назад

I’ve always heard that word, I guess mostly I’ve seen it in motorcycle forums.

@Quagmire925 5 лет назад

Fake Sparkle = Farkle! 👍

@The333 5 лет назад

Where's the Corbin seat, Adam?

@AdamCroll 5 лет назад

Have been using the stock seat on short rides!

@c6manny 4 года назад

Have you found a nice fluid reservoir cap replacement for the speed twin?

@AdamCroll 4 года назад

I haven’t really looked, I don’t mind the look of the stock brembo cap for now.

@karlosh2422 5 лет назад

I have not heard it called "fark". Bling, jewellery or pointless crap. Saying that I might get the machined oil filler cap, but the plastic one seems to work okay.

@vanilou27 4 года назад

Where did you get the swingarm spools and what size?

@AdamCroll 4 года назад

ebay generic 8mm metric

@beapackersfan 5 лет назад

Where did you find the oil fill cap and the valve stem caps?

@AdamCroll 5 лет назад

From my dealership.

@sheltonmcmillian677 5 лет назад

What happened to that custom seat?

@AdamCroll 5 лет назад

Only like to use it on longer rides, around town I have been using the stock seat.

@markwilliams7482 3 года назад

I'm afraid that's what you get when you don't use the correct tools 🤷‍♂️

@UncleWally3 5 лет назад

Too bad ya can’t farkle away the tank’s cheap pinch-weld. Triumph rid itself of the pinch-weld on their new T120 scrambler, Rocket 3 as have Yamaha, Honda, BMW and Ducati on their retro models. Come on Triumph, time to clean up the tank’s wonky tin-toy appearance!
