The way I remember checking for chain / sprocket wear is to try to lift the chain off the rear sprocket. If the chain comes off it a bit, it has some wear. Try that with a new one and they try it with one that has a lot of miles. I remember riding 'till the rollers fell off, and one time all the teeth wore off the front sprocket 'till it would jump the chain.

Good tips brother!

*excellent* step by step instructions as usual. only changes I observed watching my chain installer: - loosen rear sprocket nuts before taking wheel off - lube up engine shaft that holds front sprocket for rust prevention - run new chain on new sprockets and shorten it then

Hi Iggy, thank you for your feedback!

Very good video! One mistake I see, do not start at 80 foot lbs., start at 60 foot lbs., then 70 and finally 80. 2nd, mistake, you always go back to the first nut and recheck the torque and you do that until they are all torque properly. Also the same when starting at 60 foot lbs and 70 and 80. Suggestion, coat the spline shaft with axle grease to protect from rust. Also, the chain has a raised ledge to prevent crushing the o-ring so no measurement is needed, just carefully tighten until it stops. And the pin out measurements is the only one that is needed. And finally, a little blue Loctite on the front sprocket nut. And maybe on the cover and the footrest bolts.

Another great video Gustav! I suggest putting a bit of grease or anti-seize on the threads of your tool. It will make it easier to turn, and the threads will last longer. It does make the tool dirty to handle, but you wisely wear gloves anyway. I would keep the tool in the original box, or get a plastic one to keep it in so dirt doesn’t get on the screw threads. I use Kerosene to clean my chain. $8.00 will get you a gallon of it! I was surprised at the minimal chain stretch with 24K on it. Even after the burn outs and you rolling on that throttle in sport mode. At the rate I’m riding I’ll be dead before I need a chain replaced! 🤣

Hi George!! always great hearing from you brother! the tool came pre-greased, but i didn't like the grease they provided, so i will be adding grease to the threads as you recommend!

Great video Gus. Only suggestion if I may, to save your tool… not required but it will save you money. Grind off the outside mushroom of the pin will save the driver. Everything else is the exact same, just the added stress to push in that pin can damage that driver making the tool useless. Also… don’t use gas… that will damage your new seals. I’m enjoying these videos man. Keep up the great work!!

Another great video...thank you. I'm at 23K miles now and also reaching time for chain replacement. I looked at my rear sprocket and looks in good shape (similar to yours). If you had to do it again, would you change the front and rear sprockets with the 1str chain change for perhaps wait until 2nd or 3rd chain replacement?

@ontherebel11

4 ай бұрын

Thank you John! That's a great question! I've thought about it many times, the rule of thumb is to replace them as a set, my sprockets had absolutely no wear on them at all.... They could probably last another 25k miles, but personally, a couple of hundred dollars over 3 years is negligible, I'd rather change them as a set and have peace of mind while I'm out touring.... IMHO it's a small price to pay, and as you saw in the video it's very easy to do, I can't help but consider metal fatigue after all the stress of 25k miles.... I could be wrong and many would probably disagree with me, but if such a small investment could eliminate a potential disastrous variable, I'd do it the same way.... But that's just me bro.....
