Thanks for watching! Don't forget to sub!

You can use the rear brake for tightening the sprocket I just did it today, its a good idea to use a torque wrench to get it to proper spec. and for the riveting part, get a micrometer it takes a lot of the guess work out

I also like to measure both plate distance and flare size with caliper against existing links.

I disagree, this video has been a great deal of help to many people. The set up of the tool is within the instructions and I did not feel that it needed to be included in this video.

Damn good job guys!! I'm a DIY, on my first bike I bought new in 2006 SV650. I'm really excited about learning how to work on this bike. I'm going in stages as per required maintenance. But my last chain replacement I only temp clipped it, and drove it to a shop to rivet on permanently. I just got a complete Vortex kit and I will be changing entire kit, I may still have a tech finalize the rivets...

That is great! I would go with the rivets for sure! It can be really easy if you get the right tool.

We've definitely made some improvements over the last few years. Thanks! ~Aubrey

After watching this video I have definitely made a decision to never purchase a rivet style chain. Staying with the trusted, tried and true. This was a very informative video, thanks.

I rivetted while it was on the rear sprocket so it's more level. If you rivet not break while its hanging at the bottom you risk flaring it angled so the area isn't circular which is bad.

Thanks for this video. There were a couple of invaluable pieces of info about doing this job. I would've paid to see it, but instead I'll go buy some more stuff from STG!

Very helpful! Sounds like it takes a lot of feel, and making sure it's not binding. Well made, thanks guys!

Thanks for the video, I love working on stuff, just don't know how sometimes.

I did but I can't find the one they used in the video. But thanx for all your help! You guys rock!!!

Good video and good point about chain tension

Thank goodness you guys bought a tripod for your new videos. This one makes me feel like I'm watching a Jason Bourne movie. Good video all around though.

Thanks for a great video! Just got done doing my EK/Driven chain and sprocket installation and this was a great walk through even given I was working on an 04 R6.

love the dane cook guy; well spoken!

I do not feel it requires a tremendoous amount of hand strength to do this. Remember if you hold the handle of the chain tool and the wrench at the end it will increase the leverage maming it easier.

Damn...so that's the job I was paying for all this time?... better later than never. Thank you guys for this great video.

Great video ... Riveting a 530 chain is ridiculously tuff!

You are welcome, glad to help!

Its all good, maybe we'll touch on that in one of the 2013 Project Bike Giveaway videos. Thanks.

Brian I like your Tissot T-Race Watch!

great video but the only thing you didnt mention is if the wheel tensors have to be loose or thight or if the wheel has to be placed in the center of the tensors tighting space

why not do all this with the link positioned on the rear sprocket to keep everything stable and not rely on your hand to stabilize everything. it is the proper procedure when installing a standard master link.

I prefer to position the rivet link under the swingarm when riveting the link. IMO the open access makes it much easier. End of the day there is always more than one way to get a job done. - Van

I have to disagree withe the final comment on tightening the front sprocket nut. On both my GSXR600 and now CBR1000rr I was able to tighten to the correct torque with the bike in neutral and a foot on the rear brake lever.

well if u have the rear tire on the ground ofcourse the brake will work

When installing the new chain how far do you push the tire forward to get the correct number of links off (if need be) and the correct tightness for the chain???

@sportbiketrackgear

Best practice is to set the axle somewhere in the middle of the available range of adjustment. This will leave you enough room to adjust once the chain stretches a bit etc... The only time you would want to set the axle somewhere other than the middle is when you need to adjust the length of the wheelbase to influence the handling of the bike. - Van

I could have used that tool two weeks ago to get my new chain on my '81 CBX.

I am looking for the specs on the amount of flare for my master link, but my chain came with no guidance. Where can we look for this? I currently have a 0.3 mm flare so far, but wanted to do some research before going any further.

It would be really nice if you would include the products name

Hey man great vids, I have one question the rivet tool I'm looking at buying comes with 3 riveter sizes. How do you know which size to use. My bike is a 01 gsxr 600.

Nice vid! But you said that the rear brake doesn't work for tightening you front sprocket. For me it did work, and it is tightened at recommendation :) But this vid is great :)

Did the convertion today, the 05' cbr600rr doesnt have a retainer on the front sprocket.

Great job guys. Informitive and well explained.

08 1000RR doesnt have retainer either. The thread wasn't lock tited from factory either... 45,000 km and it didn't kill me.

how do you do the renthal chain with the solid link? does the motion pro quad stake tool work? it says for soft nose pins.

What would happen if you screwed this up by over tightening the rivet link, causing binding, and decided to ride the bike?

Excellent video guys, cheers : )

Very nice video I definitely learned something!

are those how long is that tool supposed to last? my friend was helping me install a chain for my first time and we noticed it bent big time when we were almost done he said it was the ninth chain he'd installed also said he'd never had such a hard time installing the link like on mine

Is the RK Chain Tool an all around tool or will it work on just one size chain. Probably a stupid question. Looking at buying one, just want to know because of the steep price tag. Thanks.

I went ahead and ordered one. but, the one i received had a recall on it. They were not heat treated properly. i used it, got the chain on right then it broke. RK America, paid for shipping to get the tool back to them, and when they got the new batch of tools that were heat treated properly they shipped me a new one. I bought the tool off ebay, but RK America took care of it with the recall. Very happy with RK, would recommend this tool because it makes the job very easy and the customer service is very good also.

Brian, does it take much hand / wrist strength to hold the chain tool handle still while breaking a link, or flaring the rivets?

You could have showed the tools and how they go together better the last step I rewound like ten times to soo how the tool is puttogether

does anyone know why my chain skips. I replaced the front and rear sprocket, and I also replaced the chain. I tightened the chain so there was 1 1/2 in of slack in the mid point of the chain. It still skipped. so I tightened the chain so there was only 1 in of slack. But it still skips. what have I done wrong? any help?

if the link is to tight what will happen? will the master link brake off??

can you tell me what tools you used? (brand) and where i could purchase it? ty

Sorry I re read my reply and I came across as a bit of an A hole, I know you get instructions but when I have written tutorials on stuff like this I found it best to baby guide people through stuff.
