Triumph Trophy Videos
These videos show you how to do a few maintenance items on a Triumph Trophy.
To do many simple maintenance tasks, such as changing the oil filter or adding accessories to the Triumph Trophy, you have to remove at least half the skin. There are 39 screws to remove to take off the entire skin! In this video I go through the process of removing those screws.
Having three points of light on the front of your bike makes it easier for drivers to judge the distance to you. In this video I show how I installed auxiliary running lights on my Triumph Trophy
The stock air horn on the Troohy is small and weak. There were a couple of times that I wanted a driver to know I was close by and the stock horn wasn’t doing the job I decided to install a very loud air horn on my bike. I bought a set with the horn and compressor as separate pieces connected with an air hose. Fortunately there was just enough room to mount both pieces. I had to remove the skin of the Trophy to mount the horn and compressor. Be sure to watch the video in this sereies on removing the skin.
The cheap highway pegs I bought for the Trophy slipped on the engine guards if I put more than a little weight on them. The root of the problem was the diameter of the crash bars was 7/8″, which was just too small for pegs intended to go on 1″ bars. Motowerk made highway peg mounts for 1″ diameter bars and finally came out with a model for 7/8″ (22mm) bars. I bought a set and installed them. The are great – I cannot make them slip regardless of how hard I push with my feet. Here is a link to the Motowerk product page. https://motowerk.com/products/highway-peg-mounts-22-mm-7-8
The Triumph-branded tank bag for the Trophy is very pricey. Fortunately you can fit a Cortech tank bag on the trophy using the bag’s tank mounting straps. In this video I show you how to fit the bag to the bike.
Changing the rear tire of a Trophy is very easy because of the single-sided swing arm. All you have to do is put the bike up on the center stand, remove the side case, remove the muffler, remove the lug nuts, and take the tire off. Changing the rear brake pads is pretty simple as well. It’s easier to do if you remove the rear wheel. I show you how to do both operations in this video.
Great Video, most of the maintenance on these bikes is straight forward, expect the valve adjustment.
That’s a real pain.
I never tried a valve adjustment. It looked a little too much for me without all the proper tools.
