In this video I install an EK 3D 520 Chain and Vortex sprockets on my 2014 Yamaha R1. I had to replace my chain due to it falling off while I was doing a wheelie. If you have not watched that video make sure you check that out first! I decided to go down a tooth (-1) on the front sprocket to increase acceleration. I don't need the top end speed on this bike...and its probably safer if I reduced it a little to be honest.
I have not done this in awhile so I was a little rusty, but I want you all to learn from my mistakes. Removing the rear wheel, sprockets, etc were all pretty straight forward (except I had to use an impact gun to remove the front sprocket becuase I did not have the chain on the bike; if you still have your chain on the bike, have someone stand on the rear brake as you use a breaker bar to loosen the front sprocket; DONT use your transmission to do this otherwise you'll damage it). However, when I went to install the the master link this is where I started running into some issues. After lubing pressing the new plate on, I over riveted the master link causing it to break. I overnighted two new master links from Revzilla because I needed the bike for a trip I was taking that weekend and Revzilla accidentally sent me the incorrect parts (dont worry, they made it right! Shoutout to Revzilla). This led to me having to go to a local shop and buy a generic master link for a 520 chain. This is not recommended, but it got me through the weekend safely (praise the lord).
After talking with a few certified mechanics, I learned that after you press the plate on the masterlink, measure it using calipers to make sure its the same width as the rest of the chain, and then rivet the master link by just turning your wrench half a turn. Thats all you need! Dont over-rivet it or you'll end up in the same stressful situation I was in! I'd recommend purchasing spare master links from the beginning if this is your first chain install.

I just ordered mine on my cbr. Thank you for the video.
@FastLaneD are lower speeds also better with smaller sprocket in front?
What I'd like to know is where do you get your custom Fast Lane D tires.?👍
Hey Just curious. I just replaced my chain on my Honda Shadow Ace Deluxe VT-750CB How long should the break in period on a chain be, how many miles and What is the best way to break in the chain without breaking the chain? I mean like literally?
Does the rear sprocket steel better than aluminium for street ride ?
Yes more content like this!! Fixing er up

Mate what's the size of your rear wheel ? 😊
Did you take any links out the chain?
I'm confused do you name all of your bikes storm?
You said you went -1 which would be 16 tooth but your link for front sprocket is 15 tooth?
Hey brother " D " I always ran the master links with the clips on my cbr 1000rr and i rode it HARD!!! and never had any issues with any of my chains 👍 But ain't it always when you've got plans that something always goes awry 😁 Way to be determined and get that chain fiasco figured out!!

@@FastLaneD I had been told the same thing , but after running them with clips and popping wheelies and doing topend pulls and just flat out getting after it with everything she had to give , No Problems ever . And I ran atleast 5 chains that way . I my rethink that theory on today's 1000's , my 04 cbr 1000rr was piped , Dynojet power commander 3 and k&N filters and it was pulling 159hp at the rear wheel , and today's 1000's are more than that in bone stock form . So knowing what I know now , I'd buy the tool kit for doing the flatbed master links 😁 You be safe , ride hard , ride fast , but ride Smart!!!
Yeahhh there is Fastlane again man!!
What did I learn from this video... ? “You can never have too much lube” 😆😂😂😭
I've been telling people to learn from others mistakes so you don't have to have them for years. 👍👊👍
oh just noticed the new quick adjusters
Why didn't you just go +2 or +3 in the rear first? Tighter front sprockets usually make your chain wear and stretch faster.

No problem Jhodell!
Why would you do a 520 instead of 530 next time go with a 530 with 11,000 tensile strength, you will get more mileage and handle the abuse better, Ek 530 with a 11k strength is for 1400cc but the thing will take a long time to stretch R1s all take a 530
Haha lube up that shaft!! Lol
