Thanks for the video, very interesting. Can you get a sump guard for these bikes? Reason I ask is I saw a video on RU-vid where the guy had a hole smashed in his sump by debris being flicked up from his wheel. He was lucky to get hi engine off in time and not come off his Speedmaster as the rear wheel was covered in oil.
Your bike is a lot like mine! Love the brass filler cap... Thanks for the video, very nicely done. I also enjoyed the booster plug video too. easily the most informative of the lot that I've watched... Now thinking about the airbox removal... What are your thoughts on that? TBH!
Hi there Captain... very much enjoyed your trip to Wales videos.. Regarding airbox removal, I have to admit I’m not a fan. I think it looks ok but it seems to create more problems than it solves regarding getting a neat solution to fitting side panels etc. I’d also be concerned about getting the bike to run as nicely as it does with an airbox.
Understood!! Lockdown and furlough are making me far too bored for my bank account to survive!! 😁 I like the look of the spirit pod filters with the leather cover but I also worry about things getting wet. It if were just a show bike then it wouldn’t matter... Glad you liked the vids! Hopefully a lot more to come this year! Ride safely and tally Bally Ho!
Excellent demo! Thanks Mate! I just bought the 2022 Triumph Speedmaster here in Miami, Florida and I'd like to be able to change my own oil. I feel like I could give it a go now!
Hi I really like your videos In the video - Speedmaster oil change - you are using a book. Is it possible to leave a book number or a link to the book? I have a Speedmaster 2019 but i can't find a printed service or workshop book. Thanks in advance Klaus - Denmark
Hi Kemboks.. The book is from Haynes manuals haynes.com/en-gb/triumph/speedmaster/2018-2019-3 and the part numbers are Part number: 6401 ISBN-13: 9781785214493
Why didn't you remove the oil filler plug when you removed the sump plug ? that way you allow air into the engine to assist with the oil draining out of the sump ... Wes Martin
@@big500 That advice you gave about making sure the O ring that is situated on top of the oil filter wasn't still stuck on the bike when the new filter was screwed on was absolutely GOLD .. that is a caution that is well taken . Thank you Thank you Thank you .. Wes Martin
Hi Stanley. It’s a 20 plate. The only advice I can give is go for a test ride, and make sure the stock handlebars suit. I didn’t like them so swapped for bobber bars.
Great video. Just for clarification I have a 2018 triumph Bonneville Speedmaster and I’m needing some clarification on how much oil to put in as I am about to change it. I’ve seen some conflicting information. One says 4.5 Litres another says 3.4 liters. Unfortunately my owners manual doesn’t specify or at least I cannot find it. I’m in the states so we go by quarts. Thank you
Hi D Mac…..oil and filter change 3.4 litres or 3.6 quarts…. I usually put 3 litres in, run the engine, let it settle and top up using the sight glass.👍
