Nice and informative videos! Also wasn't clear from video if you did so, but will be useful note for other guys - when lifting bike at some tricky place from a ground (like it was shown at 9:04) keep bike in gear and if it is possible - hold front brakes when lifting. If it fell on left side - something like rubber band on brake handle really helps. Bike won't roll back and your back will say additional thank you :D

Haha yeah that’s good advice - if you watch my other videos you’ll see when I learned that lesson - I tried lifting my bike in neutral and it rolled backwards, so I had to drop it back down and whack it into gear 😅

Sorry, not a chain comment but at the start of your vid you can see what for me has been the best accessory for the bike: the little heat shield between the middle and front pipe. No need to decat with that which means your warranty stays valid and the planet stays a bit happier and you can ride in riding jeans without your leg frying. I found it on the back end of a triumph blog about 6 months ago and I've never seen it mentioned anywhere. If you do a vid on heat protection I reckon it would be worth mentioning.

Good pickup! Will do - that’s actually a design by a guy named Matt in the “Scrambler 1200” group on Facebook, he designed it and you get it 3D printed by Formlabs in high temp nylon I believe. It does help a bit, but doesn’t solve the problem all together, but definitely worth an episode to chat about. In the meantime this is the leg saver link: www.shapeways.com/product/3TUGRZSJU/scrambler-max-plus-leg-saver-v1-2?optionId=223109725&li=shop

Maybe worth using a torque-wench to finish off the axle nut tightening - you mention it is tight ~ torque wench confirms what is loose / just right / stripped threads? Also, as you tighten up the slack of the chain some play is required, as per the manual spec, and should be done at the tightest part on the chain as they do not always wear evenly around the whole length.

The best solution I learned it to lube with WD40 for dirty off road stuff and 75 or 80 weight gear oil for on road. WD40 isn't as good but is cleaner and stick to less dirt. Also, even BMW recommends gear oil for their bikes. WD40 also works as a low quality cleaner if you don't have a real cleaner on hand.

@@lifeofascrambler The biggest thing for me is suspension set up.... I have followed the owner manual but better to see someone do it rather than me thinking I've done it right 👍 But I'm happy for all maintenance tips. Cheers 😊👍

@@scotty_beast_rider same here! Suspension setup would be nice to see in very detail 👍 I got it somehow, but i think i could do better. Riding 60% to work without weight and the rest with big bags and offroad. Really like your videos, that's quality!

Thanks Mate, I would also like to see suspension specifically front. And for future videos maybe a run through of the options on the clock. Appreciate the work you put into these.

Awesome! I’ve got one in the works actually. For front suspension It’s actually relatively simple to figure out how to tune it but the hard part is setting it up for what you wanna do - as a general rule softer on both is better for bumpier surfaces and they just adjust with a flat head or even a key or credit card in a pinch!

Excellent vid! Thank you! I've been a dirt biker most of my life and have recently decided to try the Scrambler, which comes with a bit of a learning curve! Something I shouldn't even entertain, but need to ask about those pipes: are those just an open exhaust?

Awesome! Glad to hear it, yeh the pipes have baffles in them otherwise they sound a bit crap and also it’s not great for the engine (according to some triumph techs that have told me)

If the wheel is aligned correctly, then the easiest way to maintain that alignment is to move the adjuster by the same number of flats on each side. Also, if you slacken the locknut before loosening the spindle you're less likely to accidentally move the adjuster a flat or two.

You know? Recently I've heard that using the brush isn't good for the o'rings, I normally use it, but now I don't really know what is true 🤔

Great point, I have chatted with some mechanics and their advice is that a nylon brush should be fine, so definitely don't use anything like a wire brush.

If you have an x or o ring chain, you just need to clean it: the lube is on the inside of the chain sealed by the rings.

It's better to turn the rear wheel and cheque for it's tightest spot before you make any adjustments to the chain , otherwise you maybe over tightening it which could course unnecessary damage. 😊

Looks really weird when you constantly look at your script instead into the camera.
