There is an appropriate 3/8" sq drv oil filter cup socket that properly grips the flutes on the oil filter, making it easy to remove. 65mm/ 14 flutes is what you need.

Superb video, yes I am catching up with some of your past work

Quality goods from Motone
Pity they don't produce things for other manufacturers machines

[twinphill]

I like the way your tutorials are so detailed, with extra information explaining why it is so. A very skilled production 👍

[connorkeith]

As always, thanks so much for the clear and detailed info; just ran out of oil about a mile down the road from my house, spent the past few hours taxi'ing around purchasing the misc. components needed to change the oil at home, and now heading back to the bike on the street corner to change the oil...all in all, you're a life saver.

Thank you for doing your show. You have saved me money on sum bits for my bike.And help me out on a lot more.Motone has a lot of nice bits i hope to see them all here in the states.Also hope that problem with triumph, will not happen with my speedmaster. Triumph needs to step up if this become a big problem and fix it if it is their doing. For free i might and. Comments! come on people if you cann't say any thing nice, don't say any thing at all.Just saying! Have a good time on your time ! and ride, ride, ride!

[lashlareau]

Very informative, clear and concise. Well done Sir !!!

Great vid Stu... really looking forward to this series ....

The back of the oil jug says it all. It's JASO MA2 rated! For my Tmax, I have a K&N oil filter removal "cap tool". Works great and I can use my small torque wrench on it if needed.

Loving the Motone parts Stuart and the T100 is already looking good. Another great video Sir!

[darrenwalsh]

Love your work Stuart ! excellent videos and information for the biking community. Keep up the great work. Cheers !

[jeffreyhurst]

I see you answered my next question which involved whether you used the manufacturer’s recommendation regarding the intervals. Again, I have been riding for almost 50 years and still picked up a few common sense tips for a routine, yet important service. Thoroughly enjoy the Yorkshire approach to motorcycling.

Hi Stuart
Once again a interesting video and some nice touches done on the T 100 .
Can't wait till the next installment .
Will be interested on the oil change on your t120 and the oil .
Please keep them coming.

If its not stock, its 'custom' . Like you I appreciate the full professional custom built bikes, but you can make real visual difference with bolt on parts. I do sometimes get a bit fed up with the bike I remember the shit storm when Triumph launched the bobber. Nice vid

[mikestewart]

Nice one matey. Straight practical easy to follow vid.

Excellent video! Stuart, have you considered recording a video regarding options for a flat tire on a remote country road? I had a flat tire which I was unprepared to resolve years ago while driving a friend’s 1959 Triumph 500. I had to leave the Triumph with a nearby resident next to his driveway while I hitch-hiked back to town and returned next day with a truck and help to load the bike for return to the repair shop.

There are a number of YouTube videos on the subject, but I’d really enjoy hearing your opinion.

My questions relate to what you would do in this situation?
1. Recommended temporary external fix like sealant, plug, etc.?
2. Carry a portable battery air pump? Any particular brand?

Thanks and keep up the great videos!

Stuart after buying my new t100 few weeks later it started leaking oil, finally figured out it was coming from galley plugs. It was under warranty so called my dealer, it was like talking to someone that sold lawnmowers so l repaired it myself. I had to take starter, headers, off to get to plugs, and after draining oil l could not believe how much oil came from the starter portal and galley plug holes.

The extended seat screws and other matching knobs look great! Most of the bikes here in the US are customized with off the shelf parts. There used to be an oil filter socket that fit the end of the oil filter to a ratchet or extension, not sure if they're still available.

[usablellc]

I've had very bad luck with the seat bolts. I have the pretty useless though pretty Triumph rack and getting the both on and off is still a huge pain. It may be that I have the set made by British Customs and maybe those are not long enough but then on another note, someone walked off with my first set and one fell off with the second set. Without an Allen wrench, you can't tighten these down enough for them to stay on or deter thieves.

Nice video! And what comes to custom builds - these newer bikes are as what I believe such that almost any change that you do, there has to be some kind of approval by authorities so basically goodbye self-manufactured parts. That is if you want to maintain street legal status of the bike. Well, I may be wrong...

[colindeans]

Good video and a nice bike. It'll look a lot better with the battenberg gone.
