Great Video. I like to use new spark plug gaskets on every oil change for all the drain plugs. You can get them in different sizes, & they seal up well.
What's up.!?!?..Father's day! Happy Father's day to all the pops!
Happy Fathers Day!! Thanks for tuning in!!
Thanks for tuning in everyone! Happy Father’s Day, too! 🙏🏾
Excellent advice as always Kyle. I now pump the oil out of the tank rather than use the drain plug, less messy and gets the last of the sludge out too. Give Loctite 542 a try, it's a low torque thread sealant.
Great video. Just the way to set about stuff on your Classic British bike 😊
I've just bought a 69 TR6, in Northern Ireland, this was invaluable, do you have any more videos on this bikes maintenance, great job😀
Thanks Kyle for the tip about the VR1 and zinc content. Will that brass plug fit a early 50s BSA A10 tank? You guys rock.
I have a 67 Bonnie, always use a straight 30 oil , never use a detergent oil in these engines as it can disturb particles in the crankshaft sludge trap . Never use sealant on anything with an oring /copper or fiber washer or any part of the engine with a gasket , I’m sorry but bad advice
VR1 isn't recommended for wet clutches. The old triumphs (and a lot of vintage British bikes) tend to have a separate primary and clutch, so they don't share oil with the engine and VR1 works great. But make sure you're not using it on a bike where engine oil and clutch oil are the same... like a lot old Honda CBs.
Facts
How does the yamabond effect the drain bolt and washer coming off for the next oil change? Does it make them harder to unscrew?
Like it’s not even there
I am curious as to why you guys are using that brand of oil. I’ve watched several videos and read many articles over the past several years and it has shown that Amsoil synthetic is probably the best oil on the market at at the moment. Is there a reason why you guys aren’t using that brand?
Oil is a challenging subject, everyone has there own preference, as they should. VR1 is a good choice of oil with these old bikes, the high zinc content in the oil is great for our cam and cam follower style. Different strokes for different folks!
@@classicbritishspares thanks for the reply. In a pinch I would use Valvoline, but due to the metal on metal test I’ll pay the extra for the Amsoil. BTW love your page. It’s great and very informative. Keep up the great work. 👍
