lunmad Triumph Index vid experiment.

[1mouse69]

My first was a Trumpy.. ;)

Thanks Lunmad for all your vids, my 1971 Triumph Bonni started today for the first time in 13yrs..Happy Days.

Looks like old Dunstall exhaust headers (pipes). Cool.

Lunmad,

Since you are the man with all things triumph... I have a 79 triumph 750cc with elec iginition. Got the bike running, but it cut out on me while at a red light. I think my rectifer might be bad and not charging the battery.

How can I check to see either its the rectifer or the charging magneto inside the engine.

thanks for your reply

Nice one lunmad,

Keep the vids coming, we need all the help we can get to keep these old tarts on the road! :)

@Webby968

Thanks Webby... every little helps,

I can't wait for the snow to go away!

I haven't seen tarmac for weeks.

[Webby968]

@lunmad

Not much snow down here at the moment, but it's COLD! It snowed the other week and I have to say the old Bonnie is the best bike I've ever ridden in the snow, I got to work before most of the blokes in cars :)

With that weather in the UK, get yourself a good anti freeze, Irish whiskey (Bushmills is best) or a good Cognac should do the job!

[lunmad]

@Webby968

We're having a bit of a thaw at the minute! but Arctic conditions are forecast boo! hoo!

Ice now!!

I'm partial to the odd Bushmills (no ice) and most other alcohol as anti freeze for the old bod :-D

all the best for 2011

Great video Lunmad,

Do have any advice or videos on setting the timing for pre-unit mag TR650's.

Thanks

That is 'prolly the sexiest Triumph tank post 1950's my opinion.

[lunmad]

@441rider

Sexy?? I never saw that when I did the vid :-D

[441rider]

@lunmad

I think it is the Triumph unit single styled right. Almost the shape of the BSA R3 tank I just got with the dusty bike. Turned down the parts shed of BSA for a T150 "chopper" and '69 R3. Wish there was a Lunmad series on servicing those! glad I have a steep hill to pretend riding it. LOL! Happy holidays,

[caferacer64]

how do I change the rear tire bearing ?? thanks

[lunmad]

@caferacer64

I have changed the rear wheel bearings but did not video it :-(

I will next time.

They are fairly straight forward to do, and similar to the front one to do.

[roadking971]

Great job on the videos, I really enjoy them. Thanks

[lunmad]

@roadking971

Cheers roadking more to come, I've been busy riding lately and enjoying every minute :-D

What a brilliant idea. For anyone wanting to have a go at keeping their bike in good repair you are like an easy to follow manual. Something to watch, instructions to listen to and usually a non- expensive way of making or mending. Maby you should have a special "Ask Lunmad" link where people can ask you about specific query's.

[lunmad]

@Dclangers

Hi Dcangers :-) thank you!

People can PM me if they wish, I will try to answer all posts or point the way.

[jimnjr91909]

Great idea! Every link worked for me.

[lunmad]

@jimnjr91909

Thanks jimnjr :-)

I'm still adding, now I know it works I think I should do separate engine/cycle one's

as this one is getting a bit cluttered.

[pictgroove4]

Great job John, works a treat! There's a canny bit of work gone in there. Delightful that you left the 'outtakes' in (if you catch my drift) :-D The bike looks great, and this is a real reminder that this labour of love is turning into a considerable and unique resource of information you're building here.

The composite bike view at the end is brilliant.

:-pict

[lunmad]

@pictgroove4 Hi :-) thanks!

I'm still adding bits and pieces.

as space is limited I should of also put two engine close ups in

but I'll save that for MK2 index ;-)

[MrGatohead]

Nice work John... and very clever of you. I always look forward to your tutorials.

[lunmad]

@MrGatohead Hi :-)

thank you, and more to come I have an old MZ 125 to do!

[gordonemoore]

I clicked on one and it worked. You may be on to something here!

[lunmad]

@gordonemoore Hi :-)

I think this is going to work :-D

[mac163]

So far the front wheel index works. : )

[notwocdivad]

@mac163 yep and the tappets too

[lunmad]

Hi @notwocdivad slow but sure :-)

[lunmad]

Hi @mac163 :-)

thanks for the confirmation/
