Used this video to change my own chain for the first time 10k km ago. Thank you.
He used the foot break instead of the wrench into the the engine. However his method of tightening the central nut on mainshaft is nowhere near the required 140Nm of tightening torque.
This video is a missing piece of online information for the DIY maintenance person. That information on on the master link is pure 'GOLD!' I didn't know about siliconing in the master link clip until yesterday reading on faq.f650.com, but seeing it done (how much and what it looks like) is extremenly helpful.
More like 100nm
Excellent video man. Your like a swiss army narrator (usefull). Nicely done!
Great hands on videos.👍
Remove old chain, clean the underside of the chain guard, drive area of engine and both sprockets and tensioners thoroughly. Clean hands to avoid cross contaminating the old grease and grit into the new chain. Shorten new chain. Oil or grease the sprockets and tensioners. Forget the silicone on the split link. What good is that going to do, other than ensure it rusts quicker than the rest without grease or oil on metal? And they're not collars on the split link, they're annular grooves that the spring clip locates into. It's bad practice to use hard faced clamping forces on a chain to fit it. Use a brass or copper (from 22mm copper tube) slip on face grip. Also, locking nuts on the axle adjusters are a good idea. Finally, if you're not certain of the accuracy of the adjustment numbers in the windows, use two straight edges clamped (not too firmly to avoid distortion) to the back wheel and line them up with the front wheel to verify back wheel alignment.
He dropped the o ring!
Why didn't you stick the 6mm allen wrench into the side of the engine, like the repair manual says to do?????????
Oh, and where's the BEGINNING of the front socket removal?
Ooh that's helpful I shall look out for 6mm Allen in the manual.
Thanks for sharing that information..
With the chain link instal, you dropped the link when you wanted to vice-grip it. You didn't notice you dropped the "o" also if i saw that correct, and putted the link on with only 1 o ring on it. I think.
Hi
When you put the chain back on there is a rubber chain guide on the brake pedal shaft, does the chain go over top or underneath?
Does the clip link type work without problems ? Thanks, yl
Silicone sealer on the master link to stop the clip coming off ??? The clip would have to suffer an equal force to that used by you in removing the link in this video to come off, the silicone did not stop you removing the clip therefore it will not stop the link coming off after an impact of equal force. No amount of silicone will stop that clip coming off during an impact, think about it, you pealed it off with your fingers !
Is that chain breaker tool same as one for bicycle chains?
Michal Gloc The principle is the same for both tools. But the size and sturdiness is greatly increased on the moto sized one.
Great video but you should use gloves. Grease and oil on your skin is no good. Thousands watch this video.
Not a torque wrench in sight
I agree, maybe the most important tool in the tool box
new chain laid out on filthy dusty grimy floor.
