TIP: I use moly compound [not grease] to lube the splines before attaching the sprocket like BMW riders do to their splined shaft drive as it reduces wear

Cheers Rev - Most of the bikes I rode, have the speedo running off the front wheel - not the back or thur the trans. The real crux - is whether to use this opportunity to change the overall gear ratios of the bike. Real world example - 82 Kawa 750 Twin - 17 F 43R =60mph@6500 rpm. My pick was 17F 30R = 60mph @ 4400 rpm. The good outcome was going from 35mpg to 55mpg. Top speed was of course increased, but I had already done that some 25 yrs before.

These (and the daily rider videos) are why I am loyal to revzilla. Thank you for the knowledge.

5:13 Made me chuckle, I don’t know if you appreciate how much we love you guys as a team. Been watching you two now for 9 years. The best Motorsports duo ever. PERIOD.

I have a shaft drive bike but I'm still watching. What can I say? I love this series!

A few things I've learned over the years from doing my own maintenance on motorcycles: 1) I usually replace the sprockets every other chain replacement, rather than each time, and base this on the 2nd chain lasting nearly as long as the first on a given sprocket pair (yes, the 2nd chain does wear out more quickly, but not enough to justify the expense of the sprocket set); 2) the biggest sign your chain needs replacement - assuming it was lubed regularly - is when you find you are having to adjust the slack more frequently, say, instead of every 500 miles its down to every 300 (or as I did once, letting it go so far the chain came off the rear sprocket while leaned over - that was a real butt-pucker moment); 3) tightening up the slack too much is really hard on the chain - set it to around 1"/25mm of deflection mid-span; 3) clean your chain frequently, especially in dusty or wet conditions, but beware of using any kind of petroleum solvent (including kerosone) on an X- or O-ring chain as it took me years to learn the hard way that solvents get past the seals and cause the chain to get stiff and start kinking up a lot sooner - I just use a Grunge Brush to remove dirt then relube with a generous amount of common 75W-90 gear oil. This advice only applies if you regularly clean and lube your chain *before* it starts getting rusty, however...

First of all, there is no way in hell I'm adjusting the tension of my chain every 500 miles. Second, it took you 10 years to learn something I learned in 10 minutes just by reading the user manual? And third, I'm not going to use gear oil on the chain unless it's in Scottoiler. Otherwise, that's what chain lube is for.

@allpraisebob

@@mickeypopa No, it took me years to notice that kerosene strips the grease out of what should be "permanently lubricated" x-ring (or o-ring) chains. If you have a plain roller bearing chain then fancy-pants chain lubes might very well be superior to 75w-90 gear oil, but for an x- or o-ring chain the only jobs of the lubricant applied to the chain are to repel water and prevent rust. If any externally applied lubricant could make it past the x- or o-ring seal then so will dust and grit, which means it isn't a seal after all.

You can use kerosene, diesel, W40, etc (any "oily" solvent) except gasoline or anything too aggressive. Just apply it on an old piece of cloth and then use it to remove the excess of dirt and old grease, with the help of an old toothbrush for the hard to reach places. I heard that gear oil works good but I don't like the mess and having to relube so often. Personally I use lithium grease, applied with a syringe (without the needle obviously) and then I distribute it with my work gloves.

This is excellent - chain and sprocket buying for the uninitiated is a nightmare and this clears it all right up!

Thanks for the video. It’s great having these to go back to when I need it.

Damn. You are super knowledgeable and have a great way to bring technical stuff to non workshop geeks like me. Thanks and great job!

I just got a new to me Vstrom and going from belt to chain is quite a change. Thank you for your vids. I just did the first ever clean/lube today and was curious about chain/sprocket.

This video has made me so much more prepared in making a decision on buying a new drive train set. Thank you so much!🤘

Thanks for the most informative video and covering extensive aspects while buying a chain.

tremendous information and well presented as always Ari. Thanks.

Awesome helpful info! Thanks and keep up the great videos!

It is that time for me and that Google search was not making it easy.. Thank you guys for simplifying all those endless choices and possibilities..

As usual just the facts and no fluff, good stuff and cheers.

RK GB520/525/530 GXW chains are by far the best chains I've used (commuting, weekend rides and track). The Supersprox Stealth rear sprockets are also top notch, very durable and light and well worth the money.

Your videos are always top notch! Thanks !

Great video! Very informational, and quick to the point!!

Very informative and well-paced presentation, thanks!

New rider, glad I came across this video and thank you for the Intel!

I simply love this series, & Ari is great fella 👌

Freaking awesome love it. Hadn't realize he moved over from MC garage. Very informative. I've never kept a bike long enough to change the chain and sprockets. Unfortunately the bike I just picked up has a rusted chain and so safer to swap out. Super glad for the info.

Make sure to do some research about your specific bike, especially if it's a vintage bike. Some o-ring or x-ring type chains end up being just a little too wide for certain older bikes.

God bless you! I was so clueless about this! Thank you thank you!

Bought time ive been needing this for a while now. Great video :)

buying my first bike this weekend and im sure she needs a little tlc! thanks for the rundown!

A well maintained chain can easily last over 20,000 miles. I put 20k on a chain on my Norton850; I have 17k on my Triumph Bonneville T100 and just recently made a slight adjustment to the chain. I wouldn’t be surprised to go 30 k on it.

Very thorough!!

Helpful. I recently acquired a 1982 Harley with a conventional chain. I think I will keep it well lubed and hope it lasts a long time. Changing the front sprocket on a Harley is a nightmare. I will need to remove the outer primary cover, clutch, primary chain, front primary sprocket with compensator, and inner primary cover with associated oil and vent hoses.

It has been 22 years since I changed a chain and sprocket set because I SWORE I would never own another chain drive street bike (3 shaft drive, one belt and now two chain drive bikes currently). This was a great reminder. In my case a 1999 VFR800. I could not find my old breaker/rivetter so new one purchased.

Looking Swole Ari! 🇺🇸💪

Very informative. New Sub.

Great info .....subscribed

Helpful. Thanks!

Another thing to add to chain quality, manufacture spec chains normally are rated around 2.5 tonne weighted rating before the chain breaks on average (varies between bikes of course), where you can buy RK chains etc that can take up to 7/8 Tonnes before breaking, ie higher durability than standard thereby longer lasting.

My motorcycle's chain has a clip type Master Link and after watching this video, I now realize I wasted my money having a motorcycle shop install my chain when I could've just done it myself. 🤦‍♂️😅 I can't believe how undereducated I was on this stuff lol Keep up the awesome work with these kinds of videos, people like me NEED them 😂😅🙏
