  1. Street Triple Forum
    Before you get too annoyed and quite rightly say 'look it up' - I promise I did. 117, on standard 16 47 sprockets. A company sold me a kit for the street triple 2010 with a 114 link chain with a 48 sprocket - but it was way too short and wore through the mudguard (yes I should have checked...
  2. Tiger 900 Mods & Workshop
    How many miles are tiger 900 owners getting out of the stock chain? I‘m currently at 8500 miles with the chain/sprockets still looking good. Next month I begin a ride that I’m guessing will be between 5000-6000 miles (Continental Divide south-north followed by Idaho BDR). Even though the...
  3. Air Cooled Twins Technical Talk
    I put a new front sprocket cover on yesterday and out of curiosity put the bike on center stand and let it idle in gear to watch the chain. The way it moves is chaotic and seems like it's got issues. I uploaded a video to Google Drive: IMG_2123.MOV ... at first it's just idling then I give it...
  4. Air Cooled Twins Technical Talk
    I ride a Bonneville t100 from 08 and installed the OEM center stand, but I am noticing that.my chain is hitting the metal rod that holds one end on the spring. Does anyone found a fix for this? I already tried changing chain slack.
  5. Air Cooled Twins Technical Talk
    Hello to all, Two days ago I replace my chain and both sprockets with the Triumph OEM chain and sprocket kit (T2017210 (104/43/18)), on my 2015 Bonnie T-100. As others have mentioned, maybe I should have done this before I got to 30,000Km? Also as other have posted, wow what a difference this...
  6. Tiger Chat
    Got everything ready to roll on my chain replacement (new 50 tooth rear/16 tooth front sprockets, chain), but for whatever reason, though it is specified 124 links, I bought a 130 link and had 6? 7? removed. If I back the adjusters forward all the way and push the wheel, I still have way more...
  7. Air Cooled Cruisers - America, Speedmaster
    I’m reading the America -09 owner’s manual for the chain adjustment. It says (freely translating from finnish)... ”loosen the rear axle nut.... open the chain adjust lock nuts on right and left sides”. The corresponding image is clearly wrong as it names the rear axle nut as the ”adjustment...
  8. Tiger 900 Mods & Workshop
    I would like to be able to adjust the chain while on the road. E.g. during a multi-day trip. Tiger 900 axel nut is 27mm and I have a deep socket that fits just fine. But this socket is heavy and requires a heavy ratchet. So I was thinking about purchasing something smaller and lighter, like...
  9. Water Cooled Twins Technical Talk
    Hello Riders, After a long ride to PA, I realized the chain of my 2017 T100 had an excessive amount of slack (over the 30 mm recommendation). I tried to adjust it but I reached the maximum position on the rear wheel. Now, the issue is that I only have 11,000 miles on that chain which seems...
  10. Maintenance & Workshop Talk
    With all of the modern technology 202 has to offer, I ran across this video which suggests that good old fashioned gear oil is the smart choice for chain lubing our expensive X-rings. Does anyone have any thoughts or experiences? The manual simply says: "Chain spray suitable for XW-ring...
  11. New Member Introductions
    Hello. Would appreciate help here. I have a 2017 ST that has a very loose chain. The tensioner cannot be adjusted any further as it is fully extended. I do not see a master link. What is the best fix? ~10,000 miles on the bike Chain condition is good. Thank you for your advice...
  12. Tiger 800 - 800XC Mods & Workshop
    Okay, so first up I better say I feel a right plonker, so lets get that over with! I fitted a new chain and sprockets to my 2011 Tiger 800 Road version. I bought a DID X-Link chain model 525VX - 122ZB. Everything went well until I went to tension the chain and notice that there was a LOT of...
