Hi all, thanks for taking a look at my plea for help. I have a 2015 speed triple ABS. It needs a new rear disc. I have a rear paddock stand, correct sockets & tools to do the job, but I can’t see a way of getting to higher Hex bolts on the disc without removing the whole final drive and axel. Is there a how too that you know of? I have tried the triumph online manual... but it says Service manual unavailable for my bike! Thanks again for looking. Joe
Hi Callumity, thanks for the swift reply and the video. I was hoping that there was a way without removing the entire axel, which is not possible when using the rear stand. Cheers Joe
I must check my Tiger Sport. I imagined that with wheel removed on paddock stand and caliper dropped you could rotate the axle/disc assembly to access all 4 bolts from the LH side and remove disc and reluctor ring.
Well I have checked and the axle needs to come out. Just shows you the danger of assumptions! If you have no centre stand you might need to knock up a solid tImber trestle to sit the bike on to remove everything. Not necessarily a bad idea to clean and re-grease the entire back end.
I can confirm this, chapter 6.13 in the Haynes manual describes this, but the guy in the video (he has done a lot of great videos) describes it well. I do think the bike he is doing it on is pretty much spot on with your bike, so should be exactly the same. As @Callumity says, do a clean and re-grease/maintenance of the ball-bearings and other bits and bobs while you have all of this off. The same guy has videos on what to do. Make sure you tighten the nuts and bolts to the correct NM. Just out of curiosity, changing the rear disc sounds unusual for such a new bike, what has happened to it? Edit: Just realised that the video posted is the one when he is doing maintenance work on the read hub. Edit2: If you have the time do this at the same time (if it hasn't been carried out lately)
So, I have now successfully completed the task, disc and pads changed and no need to remove the axel. Callumity - for mine you did assume right! With the wheel off, and the. Calliper off you can rotate the hub to expose the torx bolts on the reluctor ring, that then can be moved to expose the torx bolts for the disc. Once all bolts removed the disc can (with a little patience and manipulation) be lifted over the hub. The disc has the same profile as the hub so once aligned can be removed. Reverse for the new and bobs your mothers brother! Thanks for the help all and the warm welcome
