Thanks a million! You helped me finish my first replacement of chain and sprockets! All went well except for when I removed the radiator hose. Woops haha
Man thanks so much for this video, I started to change my chain and sprocket today and got staked with the job, I was going to get it done by the mechanics but you helped me a great deal, now I'll finish the job that I've started tomorrow... Cheers
Thanks alot got this video, saved me alot money. I was a lil nervous since it was my first time actually working on a bike but i followed all the steps and it came out perfect
Only thing that would have made it perfect would have been listing the sizes of sockets used on front sprocket and rear axle locking nut. Damn good video, just what I was looking for. Thanks for posting!
Sometimes bikes may have different sized nuts and bolts. I don't usually give tool sizes or torque specs. It is good practice for riders who are learning to wrench on their machines to look at a bolt and know what the size is at a glance.
When I took the cover off there was a aluminum washer with a oval 1/2 shaft attached to it just laying in that area & I wasn't sure where it came from. Since it fit over the rod & into the groove under the cover I figured it went there but I'll break it down & take that out tonight when I get off work.
criticalw88 Why? the Haynes manual I used to do mine doesn't state it has a right or wrong way to insert it. Only to lightly lube rod before inserting it back in.
I followed your video. It help 100%. I endend up with what looks like a breather hose, like thicker one, with a white plastic insert. Any idea where it goes, i have not a clue
I have the same issue currently, just put everything back together and have no idea where this same type breather hose goes you described. Did you ever find out?
Buongiorno,io ho cambiato tutto corona pignone e catena,ma o rimesso la pompa frizione ma la leva frizione va a vuoto non stacca più,sto facendo lo spurgo ma non va,se mi dai un aiuto mi fa piacere Grazie
I tried changing the gear lever upside down for gp shifting but the hydraulic clutch comes in the way… can you please show any way of doing as you said you have been doing that before. Many thanks !
I forgot to take pictures and mark wich bolts go where. Can you let me know where each bolts go? I think the two long ones go on the cover to the right and the two medium go in the slave cylinder and the short one goes by the hydraulic fluid hose?
so I followed al your instructions. went great. went to ride and my clutch isn't working. I pulled in the clutch lever shifted to first then it just started rolling while I had the clutch in. felt like I had let the clutch completely out and was just ideling. what did I do wrong? how could this be happening? I did what you did.
Im having the same problem other people are having .when i pull in my clutch lever i have zero pressure. Ive put on taken it off, i just dont understand.
Fantastic video! I just did my sprockets on my ‘05 1000rr and did -1 and +2. I now need a speedo healer because my speedometer is all jacked up. Can you tell me where the harness is at? I just put new fairings on this weekend and couldn’t see it anywhere. Is it under the tank?? Thank you
Bring me the bike and parts and I will do the video. I do almost every bike the same. I install everything I like. Knowing the color helps. If it is a black or black/gray, I would go with color which would stand out just a little to the guy who knows bikes. Gold Shorty levers, Red Galfer braided lines, EBC HH pads front and rear. If the chain has started to rust, I would do Gold Chain, black steel Vortex rear sprocket. ProGrip Superbike grips with heat pads on the bars. Heated grips is the best mod every street bike needs. Sometimes it is 60* out and the summer gloves are just not keeping your hands warm. Orange or red 90* valve stems. Bridgestone S22 front -190/55-17 on the rear to make that bike corner better. Possibly a Corbin seat to make those long rides more comfortable. I don't like cutting off the tail section to clean up the rear. That ruins the bikes ability to keep water off of you on wet roads. I do like replacing lightbulbs with LED. LED turn signals and flasher relay. That gives you the extra power to run the heated grips and heated gear. And no bike should be on the road without a radar detector.
About to do this on mine (cbr1000rr 07) since i want to clean at the front sprocket. Anything specific to do while taking that slave cylinder thing of? and that rod thing.. Im a little nervous about it, but i know my way around bikes, but this is a first where i see that thing blocking the front sprocket. Cheers!! :)
I did this last night...thanks to this video...but when I got ready to take my bike out the clutch lever on the handle bars was too tight. I tried shift but luckily the kick stand was down, so it died but then it wouldn't let me shift into neutral. In this video his elbow was in the way but is there a silver piece that goes inside the slave cylinder housing? Or did I improperly mount the linkage?
Im about to change the chain and sprockets but i see different types of front sprockets. Some are bulkier in the middle where others are flat. Does it matter when the teeth count is the same? In you occasion its the same situation.
Hi dude. Can you help me? The pipe that you remove at 1.37 , mine just disconect on the top and i dont know where to plug in. Neither find answers in internet or his utility. You know whats his function?
+MikeE RideWNC I pulled the clutch lever a bunch of times and it built up the pressure in my hydraulic clutch to make it work again. same thing as your back brake when you take your tire off you gotta push that brake a bunch of time befor it works properly again. I pulled the clutch probably 50 times then tried to ride it and it has been perfect ever since
I use Lubrimatic Marine Grease. Remember, you are not lubricating the axle. You are protecting it and making easier to remove next time. Nothing should be spinning on the axle, if there are wear marks on an axle, you should be inspecting the wheel bearings and considering replacing them.
