  • In this video I install a cheap steering damper (stabilizer) on to the Triumph Speed twin. Then i give it a torture test and do some fine adjustments to fit my needs.

    I really like the look of that Speed Twin. I had a Bonneville back in the early / mid-60s. I really liked that bike. I got ran off the road twice in one day. Decided it was time to move on. I'm nearly 80 now and I want another bike. :-)

    Greetings from Spain. I have a Bonneville T120 and my question is if you are still using that shock absorber today. I imagine it will be the same for the T120 or there will be an equivalent one from that commercial brand. Thank you.

    You should get a fork cartridge kit and then get or do a proper suspension set up.

On Amazone some customer references are very positive, some are horrible, alternatively I think to go on with the one from LSL but it costs 8 times more...BTW, Thank you for all your vids, did some of your alterations as well starting with the farkle to replace the chrome center nut with the one from the Tiger ;-)

  • @SeaMonkey137
    @SeaMonkey137 Před 4 lety

    IMHO a $400 steering damper is a phenomenal waste of money on that bike. Before I got mine I had thought of adding one, but within a few weeks of riding it I realized why every ST owner said it was really unnecessary to put a damper on it. Very docile bike compared to the R1. I could be wrong, but I don't think you need a very high pressure setting to dampen a sudden slapper. Nice, thorough video, as usual. Thanks.

    have you had any other problems with the bike apart from squeaky breaks? tempted to get a speed twin but not sure how reliable triumphs are

    • @AdamCroll
      @AdamCroll  Před 4 lety

      No other problems! I’d say that they are almost on par with Japanese motorcycles as far as reliability at this point. It really has none of the old British quirkinesses that they use to.

    • @Fr99763
      @Fr99763 Před 4 lety +1

      Triumphs are very reliable. Squeaky breaks are just dirty, a little cleaning and all is well

    • @rudijohnsen2557
      @rudijohnsen2557 Před 4 lety

      Same with my bike.. I also have a bit warped discs. The dealer is going to change the discs and pads under warranty. Read something about that the wheel hub could have some part in the problem and that some people had the front wheel replaced under warranty. going to try the easy route first anyways.

    • @AndresArrieta
      @AndresArrieta Před 4 lety

      B .T I think the design of it attracts a lot of dirt, I say this because cleaning the brake pads with brake cleaner makes it go away for a couple of weeks.

    • @steves7359
      @steves7359 Před 4 lety +1

      Yes mine’s the same and had a pulsing when I applied the brakes gently at low speed - suspected warped discs. The dealer A1 Moto in York UK changed the discs and pads no questions asked - really like this dealership. I suspect Triumph have had a bad batch of discs.

    • @suryateja933

      Mine makes a hissing sound after a long ride. Goes off after I clean the discs.

    • @AdamCroll
      @AdamCroll  Před 4 lety +2

      The sound was actually from my rear disc! (I did a test to confirm off camera!) And that day was the first time it’s happened to me. I haven’t had the problem with the fronts so far.

  • @hollowaysteve
    @hollowaysteve Před 4 lety +2

    I’d put the money towards an adjustable fork cartridge kit instead of a steering damper if I were you. Junk that fake damper. The bike doesn’t even need a real one (did you ever get a tank slapper) and fake is risky. And fake... lovely Daimler Dart at 11.38.

    • @AdamCroll
      @AdamCroll  Před 4 lety

      Forks will be next! Yes this bike doesn’t really need it. Never tank slapped on this bike but have experienced it on others in the past.
