Probably over due on the side of the chain as it was definitely gone a bit prone to stretching, but I am honestly amazed at how not terrible the sprockets were after 21k miles! VStroms are tanks.

Is this a job you'd take on? I really think this is something that everyone should absolutely do themselves if they're comfortable giving it a shot. The very first time I ever did it I overtightened the master link and had to replace it, I've never had an issue since tho :)

So nostalgic. I went through all of that with my V-Strom 650. Getting the front sprocket off for the first time on that bike, was maddening. It would not budge until I got a friend to put all his weight on the rear brake and I used an impact wrench to get it off. Then had to replace the washer because it moved with the nut and bent the teeth on the washer itself. But man it felt SO GOOD after everything was put back together. Such a massive difference. Front and rear sprocket change. New chain. Got it all cleaned up. Still blows my mind how huge the difference was. Actually starting to miss that bike a lot lol. I love my Tiger, but that V-Strom was such a good learning experience, and I was so proud of it and all the work I put into it, when I sold it. They're fantastic bikes. Hope you have an awesome weekend! Stay safe!

I'm always amazed at how clean other peoples bikes are. Looks like new.

@TheGorillaBiker 10 дней назад

Why thank you. To be fair it's insanely easy to keep bikes clean where I am, and I have the garage

@lcdubs7847 10 дней назад

@@TheGorillaBiker I couldn't keep my bike clean if I tried. Which is maybe why I really don't try.

To be fair I never bothered much in Ireland, it'd be dirty the same day again.

Great vid. Thanks for the hints, especially the bit about cable tying the clutch.

@TheGorillaBiker 6 дней назад

No problem! Release the clutch also before reinstalling makes it easier!

@callandy100 2 месяца назад

God vid! A job I've done, albeit with cable clutch. Made a huge error purchasing a cheap chinesium chain tool (really, really crap) and ended up having to buy a decent one (buy cheap, buy twice lesson learned!!!). As per your advice here, I torqued and locktighted according to the manual, job all good. The crap around the front sprocket on mine made yours look super clean 😂😂 cheers, Andy. Edit: That should say "Good vid"😂

@TheGorillaBiker 2 месяца назад

Cable clutches are ever so slightly easier, neither are bad tho! Oh yeah that'd do it :D Mind is an oxford pro and it's done about 12 chains now. So it's paid for itself many many times over. Hey we all have to learn that lesson for ourselves at least once I think :D Excellent :) Hahaha to be fair it's a lot less muddy over here, my gunk was just chain lube and metal I think. Thank you :)

@lcdubs7847 10 дней назад

I prefer hydraulic clutches for sure. Maybe a tiny bit more trouble when doing stuff like in this vid, but no cable adjustmetns ever, no lubing cables ever, and no broken cables ever mean it's a win for hydraulics.

@TheGorillaBiker 6 дней назад

Yeah it is most certainly easier for some things, I just like cable operated clutches as you can fix them on the side of the road pretty easily.

@markfortin8286 2 месяца назад

I thought it was fairly standard practice to cut the chain with a grinder when you were removing it to change. 😄

@TheGorillaBiker 2 месяца назад

Honestly the people who usually get upset are people who 100% don't even own bikes 😂 Had one fella call me a hack for it and I should push the pins out etc.....like I'm not reusing a cookt chain ever 😂

@RoadsOfOz 2 месяца назад

Had both style of clutch. The only time I hated a hydraulic one was when it kept getting air in the line and I had to bleed it every 1000k's. Funnily enough the manufacturer went back to a cable clutch on the next model.

@TheGorillaBiker 2 месяца назад

Was that Aprilia by any chance? The Falco loved to be bled nice and regularly 😂

@RoadsOfOz 2 месяца назад

@@TheGorillaBiker Got it one. Had the 2005 RSVR1000R. Became very good at bleeding the clutch.

@madgardener5820 2 месяца назад

@@TheGorillaBikerOh bloody hell. Where do they bleed from? I've been looking and I can't find it anywhere. Would that be why the bike stalls when selecting first whole the engine is cold?

@TheGorillaBiker 2 месяца назад

The slave cylinder, I think I did a video on it on the Falco, hold on. I did! ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-dyf2CUWcWBo.html Yes, that was an issue for me, I did find with the Falco it was best to give it 5 mins before even trying to on a cold morning.

Lovely set of allen keys there. Did you keep the box they came in? I kept the box they came in, it's a lovely box.

I just cut it with a grinder, people have lost their minds in the past telling me I'll cut my swing arm, tyre, electronics, a full orphanage full of children. Literal nonsense so I avoid it. You did. That was it. It was that fast. I'm that good :D
