Thank you Marlo from London UK. Just done my C+S after watching this. You are helping a lot of KTM owners aroud the world. Massive thanks. Simon
Best and much needed repair videos for the KTM 1290 SA 💪💪...even if I am not planning to do maintainance myself, I watch your videos to get to know my 2015 SA better ! Thanks for your efforts 🙏👍
Thanks for making this video. I'm doing chain, sprockets, and chain slider on a friend's KTM 2017 Super Adventure R and your video is a great help.
Learned something new today, love the idea of measuring with a caliper to protect the O-rings.
Mario , your videos are superb, I have learnt so much about my 1090R, I’m not afraid to take on any maintenance task that needs doing on my bike, your videos and verbal explanations are easy to understand, excellent work 👍
Thank you so much
All the best fella,
Gary.
Great video, thank you for taking the time to video and show how to preform the chain and sprocket work. Keep them coming. Ride Safe.
Thanks Barry!
You do a great job explaining…thanks !
Outstanding Video. Thx for sharing mate
My go to channel when i need to do something on my bike!
Like all your other 1290 repair/maintenance vids, great job. Taking a small wheel grinder to the flared rivets will make the chain break much easier.
Typically I will grind them but in this case it want necessary. And thx!
Another great video that is easy to follow.
Thanks!
Thanks for the video Mario👏, it was very helpful as always. A couple of things I did differently was get my wife to stomp on the rear brake pedal while I loosened and tightened the front sprocket nut. I didn't loosen the swingarm to replace the front sprocket. It came off OK with the swingarm in place albeit with little clearance. I got 39,000km out of the original chain and sprocket set using a Scottoiler to lubricate. The chain was at its wear limit for length and the front sprockets had appreciable wear, so definitely in need of replacement. I am happy with that, 39,000km is a good result for a chain and sprocket set on 1290.😊
Mario - you make the best maintenance and repair videos. Sometimes watch your content just to see how it’s done without any plans of doing a similar repair. This time re- watched your video before replacing chain and sprockets. I have done it a couple of times before so this was just to jog my memory. Anyhow - thank you for providing this useful timeless content - greetings from Germany- Oliver
Oliver, thanks so much for taking the time to let me know they've been helpful!
Worked good for us👍 thanks
Brilliant video 👍🏻
Thank you. Great instructional video. Lot of useful tips.
Glad it was helpful!
Awesome Summary - Im almost brave enough to try now! Much appreciated Mario!
It’s not too bad.
For front sprocket access , after swing arm bolt pushed back, I used a floor jack to lift the chain side swing arm upward just a little pressure and it held it clear.
I agree with Shane’s comments below! All your maintenance and/or “how to” videos are nicely filmed with good commentary that relates and explains pertinent maintenance aspects for the task at hand. Most other folks videos of this type, I must turn volume completely off! As the video commentary is either annoying, off-topic and/or either contradictory or at least confusing as you correlate what you see what what you are hearing! And you always name the tool and fastener sizes which is most helpful! I ‘ve not seen another video maker that consistently describes the tools and fasteners/torque etc., the degree detail that you do! Thanks again Mario! Keep having fun!
Much appreciated! This is a job that it's very difficult but has some critical steps that I want to make sure people understand. Like you, I've seen plenty of "how to" videos that just suck; from guys not knowing the names of tools, or parts to just providing bad/wrong information. The job takes me 2-3 times longer to do when filming because I try to explain things as clearly as possible. Glad to hear people can learn from them.
If I’m getting rid of the old chain, just cut it off with a cutoff wheel. But I work flat rate:) also I crack front sprocket nut loose before taking off chain.
Another great video, Thank you Mario
Thanks Bob!
Awesome Mario! Looking forward to the ball bearings change tricks you have to share. :)))
Not too many tricks, freeze bearings, heat the hub when needed and have the right tools. If/when I replace them, I'll make a video on it. To date, I've only had to replace bearings on some of the dirt bikes.
Great video Mario, thank you.
Thanks!
Another video for me to file under Mario's Maintenance.
Ich Danke Ihnen für dieses Video - es wir mir beim 1 x vom Kettensatz wechsel sehr helfen. 👍Ich Fahren die selbe KTM
Great video, I changed mine yesterday on my 2019 1289 Super Adventure S, I have a question though. I found my splines on the counter shaft partly worn and the old sprocket had movement. The new sprocket still has a little movement on the splines although it is ok with the nut tightened up. Im confused as to why the splines on the shaft have wear as I have had the bike since new and this is the first replacement in which Im using genuine parts. Wondered if you have came across this before?
Cheers
Do you think the front sprocket can be removed by just removing the slave cylinder, the chain saver, and the swing arm bolt pushed back? Without removing the chain completely? (2015 ktm super adv stock sprocket) EDIT. For those who are wondering I did this today after posting the question, and it worked without removing the chain. You will have to remove the slave cylinder, and the chain saver as well as the little plastic piece that goes on the clutch push rod. I slid the rear axle out enough to pop the chain adjusters out, and slid the rear will forward enough to remove the chain. Saves the trouble of removing a link. Win.
Love you vids! Anything on malfunctioning Key Fobs on the 1290 Super Adventure S. Seems a common problem with these bikes... Thank you
It's somewhat of a problem on all keyfob bikes. Fortunately, all of my KTMs (1290, 990 and 890) are all key operated.
It is better to losen the sprocket nut with the chain still attached and the bike in neutral, just step on the brake. That way you don't stress the transmission being in gear
Mike has 62k miles plus…think it will be ok
Great video. How did you remove, and subsequently re-install, the rear sprocket bolts without them spinning around?
Like I showed in the video, the ridge of the sprocket holds the bolt head so they can’t spin.
Great job on the video as usual! I have a bit to go yet befor it is chain time on my 1190R. Having a nice clear video of yours is going to make that job easy. As my bike is the R model and I wouldn't mind a little lower gearing for off road, what is your thoughts on a smaller front sprocket. Some guys say it puts to much on the chain slider and wears it out to quickly. What is your thought?
Thanks for another great video. 👍
Thanks Jeff. I see how it could wear it out faster as it would (in theory) have a little more pressure on the front due to the smaller sprocket size. As long as the chain is properly adjusted; I'd probably runner it to the looser spec, I don't it would wear it much faster.
@@2WR Thanks Mario!
Hi Mario, I don't understand why you have to remove the bolt on the swing arm, I have changed my chain guard and the front sprocket without removing this bolt . My bike is a 2015 1290 SAT , it's strange no ? 🤔
Again, depends on each bike. Some I’ve worked on have the clearance while some don’t. Guess it comes down to the tolerances at the factory. I’ve had some close ups of mine on the previous video where you can clearly see it ain’t coming off without some shimmying of the swing arm.
@@2WR OK many thanks for your prompt reply, and for sharing your experience 😊✌
I like your video, but there is some additional request by me..
-Add on the lighting.
-still pictures of breakdown part best to be on a white background to get total contrast.
All the best..
Derric from Malaysia.
Derric, all due respect, buy a service manual and use these videos as a guide.
Hi
I would like to clean the front sprocket cover in my 1290 sas from 2020, my question is: are there only 2 fixing screws there? Next to it there is a mechanism from the clutch and do I have to disassemble it too? I wouldn't want to broken anything.
There are only 2 screws to remove the front sprocket guard. No need to remove the slave cylinder unless you're wanting to remove the front sprocket.
I adjusted my chain and it is new but it makes a lot of slapping noise and is that normal on a 2022 1290 SAR? It has done it since it was new. I hear some complaints on these bikes for slapping noise from these KTM Super Adventure motorcycles.
If properly adjusted it shouldn't be making any slapping noise. I haven't messed with the new 2022 SAR much yet but Tyler's got some miles on his and hasn't experienced that. Brian experienced it on his 2020 1290 SAR but turns out it was just out of adjustment.
So, no grinding the chain rivets? Just press? I have the chain break tool, tackling this soon. The rivets look pretty robust. I'm worried!
Can if you want but as long as you find the master link, shouldn’t need to.
Great video thanks. I thought I'd done well getting 22000 miles out if my chain and sprockets, I could have probably squeezed a bit longer but quite a few tight spots now and I have a big trip planned in a few weeks. Not sure if I'll need a new chain slider. What's your chain maintenance routine as your getting good life form your chain and sprockets. 👍
Clean it when it gets dirty. Lube it after cleaning or after it gets wet. That’s it. Too many people use too much live which just attracts more dirt and wears them out faster.
@@2WR Couldn't agree more. 👌
Dude - about to do this myself on my SAT. Excellent video. What are your thoughts on these maintenance free chains like the Regina? Cheers.
Same as “lifetime” transmission fluid…no such thing.
Hi Mario. Wondering if you get high points and low points on your sprocket which cause the chain to tighten or slack as you turn the wheel. Cheers
Do you bees to losen the swing arm on the 990 Mario?
?
Only need to pop one rivet to break a chain.
Thanks for realy good video, just sold my Z1000 and got me a KTM 1090 -18, which need a new back tire and clean up. Just a short question, when you remove the slave cylinder you say that "don´t pull in your clutch levert", could you explain why, and what would hapend if? BR/Andreas
Because it will depress the slave cylinder. Then you’ll have to bleed it.
@@2WR thanks I understad. Trying to get a grip around the KTM mechanics. Only experinece från old HD Sportsters.
Thanks Mario, a great video! I'll ship my bike over when it is due with a crate of beer and some £$€ for your trouble #ifonlyitwaspossible
LOL, I think most of my "friends" are only friends to get free labor on their bikes.
Ordered the OEM sprockets and chain. Question, the new chain came in one piece with no master. Is this normal ? I'll have to break the chain and order a master to install it.
One long piece connected? That’s not normal. Needs a master link. I’d return it
I ordered the same kit for my 16 1290 sat. chain came in 1 piece. I had to drop the swingarm out to install. That was fun.
Hard to believe they cut things so close you had to partially remove the swingarm bolt to get the front sprocket off.
Not the case for everyone's bike that I've spoken with or worked on personally but has been the case on some.
@@2WR Maybe those that have had larger countershaft sprockets from stock (though usually people reduce, not increase, the size of the countershaft sprocket). I just removed my 990 16T sprocket and it was easy, but early 990/950's came with 17T before KTM changed to 16T, so maybe those and some 1090/1190/1290 bikes interfere. I know your video isn't about 990's but I was surprised how easy the supposedly 100 Nm countershaft sprocket nut came off. It's almost hand tight or at least took very little force/impact to loosen it......couldn't have been any Loktite 243 on it which the manual requires along with 100 Nm. I bought the bike new and never loosened that nut before now so good thing it had the bent-tab washer. Have you found the same on your 990 I see in the background? I put the rear axle shorty wrench on the countershaft nut and rested the handle on top of the swingarm pivot before rotating the rear tire CW or backwards. It didn't take much at all and the nut was spinning relative to the countershaft.
Taking off the slave cylinder, loosening the swing arm, and taking off metal upper sprocket guard are all completely unnecessary steps to change either the front sprocket or the chain sliders.
Maybe on your bike but I’ve had countless people email me telling me they had to do it on theirs, as have I. 🤷🏻♂️
