- Join me in this video after taking on the challenge to fix @FreddieDobbs Triumph Bonneville T100SE. This motorcycle is the central focal point of his channel and has been right there with him on many adventures from all over Europe to the Sahara, across the Atlas Mountains to the local coffee shop!
We continue by resetting the adaptions in TuneEcu, correcting the throttle position sensor (TPS) base idle voltage for 0% throttle.

This is extremely pleasurable watching! It’s incredible how in depth you’re going to figure out the issue, thank you Joe!🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻
Freddy ----- sorry to say this ---- Never go back to the people who worked on the Bonny in the recent past. Even from halfway around the world here in Oregon, it's beyond clear they did you no favors. You are lucky beyond reason that Joe found you.
Most shops seem to be bolt-on parts places now. Even dealers. I've even had my BMW torx bolts mangled up after getting it back from the barnstormer dealership. So no doubt many shops will just reuse gaskets and o-rings etc. I've found that if you have the time to learn it yourself, you'll do a much better job in the end!
Anytime pal!
What a lucky man you are Freddy. You have managed to find a real gem there. It looks as though you are going to get your Bonneville back in as good as new condition. There can’t be many people in the country who would be able to do what he is doing for you. I’m so pleased you found him, and I will be watching his channel in future. ❤
Thanks Gareth, very much appreciate you being here and taking the time to comment.
I totally agree, Gareth! I’m incredibly lucky. There’s no doubt in my mind the bike would’ve been in the scrap yard if it weren’t for Joe
Meanwhile Freddie swanning around on a new bike, doing his make up, hair and clothing😂
😂😂
Swanning might be the operative word if he gets caught in a storm up there
Cruel, but I suspect he will see the funny side...
Harsh but fair 🤣🤣
Ha ha 😅oh well at least he's giving us plenty of nice videos of his adventures and he is an excellent narrator
it's lovely to see someone who knows what they're doing and doing it systemmatically. Fresddys' Bonnie safe in your hands. It'll probably run better than its ever run for him.
I certainly hope so! Thanks for taking the time to comment too
Really nice to see a mechanic on the toob systematically diagnosing and repairing air, fuel, spark in a professional patient manner. What a great series.
Freddie really landed on his feet when you offered to sort the Bonnie. Sterling job, and a great watch.
Thanks pal, plenty more to come plus I'll eventually get back to my bikes ;P
Great to see someone so knowledgeable going through Freddie’s issues methodically. The Bonnie deserves to be properly fixed and brought back to full health.
As a technician myself, 40 years removed, it's very interesting to see someone who knows what they are doing. These days, it's very unusual to find a person with this kind of knowledge. You must have had a bloody good teacher. You, my friend, are like gold dust, very hard to find. Keep up the learning, you'll go far.
The truly sad part of this whole story is that the actual diagnosis and repairs aren't requiring days of work; just a half day or so of actual working on the bike (the video process triples or quadruples the actual time it takes). The other guys either lack the skills or are just outright criminals (my opinion). How does the other guy claim the pistons/cylinders are bad without doing a compression test? How did he not know to check for vacuum leaks? Was he just incompetent or a lying thief?
Hi Brian, I think you are absolutely right they do lack the knowledge and claim to be experts which is criminal in my opinion, they have probably got their reputation, purely on servicing. It doesn't take a genius to do that. Anyway, mate, thanks for the reply. Good luck with the bike
You are walking the walk and talking the talk. Freddie really owes you. I,m sure there are a lot of Triumph owners keeping any eye on this project. You better get a bigger shop.
How refreshing this project is. The methodical fault finding and rectification is explained and spot on. Thank you for taking the trouble to explain your reasons. Can't wait for the next video.
Many thanks!
I watch A LOT of CZcams and this is my favorite series at the moment.
Same!
What all of this highlights is that true mechanics no longer exist; it's all smoke and mirrors. Joe is amazing and that's only possible when you have a deep knowledge and passion for the twin engine. Crazy good serie. Thanks guys!
It is really nice to see that you are all enjoying the channel. I am finding it really heart-warming to read your appreciative comments about Joe, his knowledge and skillset. 🥰
Fascinating series. Really gratifying to watch your work and methodology. No ordinary shop could ever recoup their costs for properly diagnosing and correcting all of the issues a bike in this condition has. But no doubt you will have saved this machine from an otherwise miserable fate. Hope Freddie can reward you accordingly. You’re a true craftsman. You will have followers (and bikes) lined up at your door if you don’t already!
Thanks for the very kind words, I try my best!
This series' really needs to be re-titled 'No Stone Unturned' 😁🔎
You’re really going the extra mile on this, Joe!
You sir are top notch! I love your methodical way of solving issues! I dare say there are no mechanics who would be so attentive on a job
every days a school day watching you mate. thank you👍👍👍
Imagine a shop class with this guy? That'd be some worth-while education!
You're like a mechanical Poirot!! Fantastic to watch!!
Fascinating to see how you go about methodically making decisions and taking the comments section into account, what could be more powerful than a community of people backing a clever mechanic / engineer. Freddie is very lucky but he will be so grateful I can’t wait to see the handover but for now I’m loving zen and the art of motorcycles Bonneville edition thanks a lot!
It is really inspiring to see a man's motorbike come back to life. We fall in love with our bikes &. hate to lose them. Keep doing your magic !!!
I live in Thailand. If I had a Triumph exhibiting such troubles I'd propose an all expense paid, "working/vacation"! It would be totally worth it to have only your professional hands on my precious machine. Quality is worth paying for. House calls with Singha beer! 👍🍺😁
Lucky lucky man Freddie. You don’t get this level of care, attention and knowledge at most workshops.
A really interesting watch. Freddie is lucky to have found you.
Hey, thanks pal it is certainly improving.
Fascinating to watch Joe - but your skills come as no surprise having seen your own bikes at Helmet Head's Wales weekender ( the karaoke from Rhys was the highlight of that weekend for me) . You clearly know your bikes and especially the Bonneville family. Looking forward to next instalment😃
Speaking as a grumpy old man, I've been an industrial engineer for over half a century and don't suffer fool's, by christ pal you have my full respect.
It's becoming painfully clear that the service Freddy has received in the past, from what he thought were reputable establishments was, sorry to say, greatly mistaken. Great job showing us the complexity of doing a methodical and proper job of servicing Freddy's Bonnie. Again, Well Done.
This is fascinating to watch. What a high standard you work at.
It would just be typical if it’s been a 50p o ring on the intake, love how your going through everything and making it safe for Freddie to continue riding it, thank God, there’s people in the world like you ❤
Absolutely fascinating.
Your skill and acumen are only superseded by your obvious dedication to doing a good job.
A very.. very rare thing in this day and time.
I personally thank you for helping Freddie out with his motorcycle problems. It shows me the heart that you have. So my hat sir is off to you. We need more people in the world like you!! I just hope that Freddie starts to pay more attention in the future in thinking about preventative maintenance with his motorcycle. Have a beautiful day!!! Illinois, USA
You are doing great work and making me appreciate how difficult it is to fault find modern machines. I am so looking forward to the next instalment about Freddie’s bike.
Great to follow this journey and see the process, super video
You're the sort of mate we all need...
Great diagnostic work. Well
Done. Freddie will be chuffed to get his steed back! 😊
Your doing a great job on the Bonneville
I am a huge believer in people like yourself doing work like this, and of owners being mechanics. I own 75 honda cb750 and 2013 triumph scrambler. And being a self taught mechanic has saved me thousands.
I understand why shops pay per hour for work, but it's to expensive.
Here's a bike that would have been totaled out, or taken thousands of dollars for labor alone.
Good work Joe. Nice to see you narrowing it down.
I have no clue about bikes but I could listen to you for hours. You remind me of my dad who could fix anything and loved a project. He would leave no stone unturned. Even making his own tools to suit special jobs. Sadly he passed away aged 95. Freddie was lucky to find you. I’m sure you’ll have a massive sense of achievement when it’s finished. All the best from Coventry.
Cracking tip about the brake cleaner and intake leak, I'll be remembering that one. Great video.
Thank pal!
Really enjoying seeing how you methodically work through the fault finding process on this bike.
Nicely done, methodical practices! One thing I learnt from rebuilding my T140 is that the carb intakes have to be sealed properly, nothing like a small leak to make it untuneable! Freddie’s bike sounds rough as but every issue you solve it gets better… looking forward to next weeks update, nice one!
Thanks pal, couldn't agree more. Each of these small things stack up especially in a monitored fuel system.
You certainly going to work on that hope Freddie appreciates it when you finally sort it, I know I certainly would can't wait for the next vid
Seriously Impressed. Love motorcycles, but could not do what you’ve done.
Hope Freddy appreciates all your work. I’m show he does😊 let’s hope he can get bike back to how it was and Freddy looks after it 🤔👍
I'm sure he does. Cheers
As others have said Freddie got very luck when you offered to help him, can't wait to see the finished article.
well done lad, going to see you go the extra mile for perfection.
Great stuff. Really enjoying your progress on Freddie’s bike.
Loving this little series of videos. Nice to learn something new 👌
Another school day 🧠 Keep it coming, excellent videos, really enjoying the journey.
Very satisfying! That charging system is now better than when it left the factory. An object lesson in how to approach problem solving. Looking forward to the next one.
Top man, keep it up, learning something every video
A lot of man hours being poured in to this bike. You can see why people give up when there are so many issues, the cost sky rockets and its not worth fixing. Good to see you bringing this back to life, and the new subscribers / views are worth the effort 👌🏻
Your knowledge, sharing and learning is making this a brilliant set of videos to watch, thanks.
If you hadn't got involved this bike was basically a scrapper - it would have been broken for spares. Great work.
This is one lucky Bonneville.
You are one really smart cookie I love your videos. I have no idea what you’re talking about but I’m well impressed..thank you.
Not sure if you're an electrician, mechanic, bike supremo or just a very clever switched on all-round expert! It's very interesting viewing all the same ! Cheers.
Thanks!
Freddie needs to go on a Bike maintenance course!
Nice idea in theory but in practice he needs to find a decent mechanic and have regular services.
This is a great video and I’m enjoying the systematic approach to troubleshooting the bike.
Glad you enjoy it!
Thanks Joe, great job as always.
Joe another cracking video......love your style mate.
Bet Freddie is watching your vids with eager anticipation...wont be long now Freddie.....she is in good hands.
Due to your misfortune we are all learning.....top marks to you Fredde mate.
I hope he's watching... ;P not so sure on it won't be long. the list seems to get longer every time I look at it.
Amazing to watch a true mechanic at work. I’ve just spent three hours fitting Oxford heated handlebars. That was a struggle but I’ve done it
Thanks 👍
🫡
I watched a few videos on handlebars and grips and decided to leave it to the shop…
Love the laptop stuff. Another level of home mechanic.
Great video, very interesting. Shows how little someone like me knows about mechanics. Serious workshop envy as well! Looking forward to the next one.
Great to see faults getting coaught as you do things mathodically, lets hope there aren't too many gremlins hiding away in that engine. Great work, loving the videos and seeing the bonnie come back to life, maybe only to see Freddie move to the honda 😂
Joe, this is addictive! Whilst living in London before I got into despatch riding I worked as a mechanic. Your systematic attention to detail is an amazing 🤩 revival of technical capabilities.
Cheers 🍻 from Düsseldorf 😉
Wow, thanks!
As a heavy plant mechanic myself, I have been caught out by many a problem but I’m always thinking and never happy until I have solved the problem. I know it’s not same but I had a problem with a digger that was down on power and I went through everything turbo boost ,filters etc then I done something I should have done at the beginning and that was to check fuel pressure. I found the pressure was slightly down and I found a one wayvalve cracked, changed the valve and the engine gained that extra power and all was good. I bet it is those o rings . Well done I’m sure your nearly there Joe top man 🔧🏍️ 🎸 🔧
This is a great series Joe I wished you lived near me 😊
I honestly think Freddie is enjoying his experience with the new Transalp too much... Bonnie had better be good or it'll be traded in... 😂😂 Excellent work, it'll be as good as new.👌
Great work, loving the progress on Freddie’s project, absolutely facilitating 👏👏🫡
M8 ,superb video love watching you work your magic 👍
Thanks 👍
To be honest I thought that would be a scrapper, but you are doing a great job on it . 👍
Thanks!
For sure making progress! Loving these videos. Thanks for sharing with us
sounds like a brand new bike now. great job mate
Not quite out the woods yet 😜
😂@@TheWurks
Great watching what going on, great to see modern technology and being used as it should, keep up the good work, I for one will keep watching,
Loving this series! Glad you are doing a through job not just a quick fix! Well done 👍
Thank you! Really glad you're enjoying the series!
Top job, that leak was a great find.
Thanks 👍
@@TheWurks Freddie is going to have the bike he never has once you’ve finished with it. I bet it’s NEVER run as well as it’s going to. Let’s hope @Freddiddobbs keeps up with the maintenance ha ha. 😝
I meant @freddiedobbs
Noooo!! You destroyed Riumph!!! Great vid m8.
Doing a great job
Brilliant content for any bike owner.
Much appreciated!
You da man…thank you!
Fantastic and methodical job. What would also be very interesting to know, is when everything is sorted, to share the final hours/cost if this would be done on a so called ´specialist´.
Yeah I'm adding this all up. Thanks for taking the time to comment and the kind words.
I think I'll stick with my eighty-year-old machinery! I can happily approach my machines with this sort of meticulous approach, but all this electronic wizardry is beyond me!
A Dobb's a day , keeps us watching for more .I had the air leak on the manifold to head joint back in the 1960,s on carbs , lucky it was dark and could see blue flames coming out . Just how complicated in gets as years go by . Great work and onwards to a Dobb's day out👍🤞 .
Awesome!
Wow, i wish i had a slither of your knowledge and understanding, great work man
Just takes time pal we all start somewhere and I've definitely got a way to go... Learning all the time!
Free motorcycle repair and maintenance lessons, Thanks man, keep them coming
No problem and thanks for sticking with me!
Freddie " I knew it would be an easy fix electrical fault " !!
There should be a Joe in every motorcycle dealership.
Looking good. Yes, it still sounds like the cams need adjusting . You can hear that lumpy cycle. I like your methodical approach mate.
Freddie better give you some money for this I swear 😂
I have absolutely no idea what he’s talking about but it’s still great to watch and to see the skill and progress… I ride and enjoy my bike, do the safety checks and basic maintenance …I’ll stick to my day job and am happy to pay someone who knows what they’re doing for regular servicing etc. Mind you, I’d never ride through a flood and my bike is garaged 😉
You are a star as Freddie needs his triumph .......
Great video, Joe! And what a fantastic series. I guess we're all rooting for Freddie's machine to **not** be a total write-off, which is why it's so rewarding to watch you go through it. You do great work, and I sure am thankful that you and Freddie hooked up. (No, not "hooked up" the way the kids-these-days mean it, but got together for the common good.) I look forward to the next installment!
Greetings from the Northwest of England 👋😃
Greetings to you to and thanks for watching!
Great work and awesome video, loved that you used a timelapse with music!!!
Thank you! Cheers!
Your a wizard mare 👍👍😂
Not sure about that but thanks!
Yes. I always thought she sounded rough after the head was done. Plus that puff of smoke when started makes me wonder about oil in the head making it's way down the valve stem seals when parked up. Think the head should have been fitted with new valve seals and ground in valves when the gasket replacement was done. Nice work though, good analysis..
Great series. Thanks for digging into this Bonneville. I was just wondering why you were standing over the bike. I would probably get one of those front wheel clamps somewhere for a couple of tenners so you can leave it and do something else at the same time. ;-)
Brilliant, well done so far.
