- Want to know how to change a chain kit on a motorcycle? THIS IS THE VIDEO TO WACH
Servus and welcome! I bought this Suzuki BANDIT N 1200 MY 97 (GSF 1200 GV75A) and it was in a bad condition.
In part 1 and 2 we got the bike running and I am still very happy about it because I bought the bike without even knowing if the engine turns.
Now it is time to change the chain kit because the old endless chain is worn too bad. So we take out the rear wheel, clean everything and replace the rear sprocket. After that is done we mount a new chain and close the rivet type chain link with at special chain tool. Everything is shown and explained in detail. With the new chain on we can replace the front sprocket. I forgot to loosen it beforehand but thats no problem. When everything is replaced and cleaned the sprocket cover goes back on and the rear wheel back in. Last thing to do is to adjust the chain play.
All torques are mentioned in the video.
In the next part we will synchronize the carburettors.
We do every step together and everything is showed and explained in detail.
I hope you enjoy my video and it helps you to repair your own stuff - because thats my intention! Thank you for watching - Auta a dopravní prostředky
Lets synchronize the CARBS in the next part
This was timely. I want to change the front sprocket but didn't know whether I should mess with the hydraulic clutch mechanism. Your video showed me it's no problem. Thanks!
Have fun doing it yourself
Excellent and Informative ,now need the Tool for replacing the Chain.

Thank you for your comment. Have fun doing it yourself
Great how to content, iv just bought 1200 mk1 bandit been sat in garage for 2 years, and you have covered everything I'm doing and going to do to mine.
Cheers
Good to read that my videos help you. Have fun with this great bike.
@@bikedogtor1663 I am going to have to change my change cause as I tighten the chain it gets tight then loose. About 16,000 miles on my 2002 Bandit 1200. Got it used with 5,000 miles on it 5 years ago. The chain adjuster is on the last 2 marks from the end of the adjusting scale. So it is really stretched out. Nice Video, I was wondering what was behind the plate that covers the front sprocket.
@@FredDemeter77 yes if the chain looks like you say definetly change the whole chain kit and enjoy doing it yourself
Best one i have seen for this bike, good job nice and cleen too'😊
thanks, really helped I just got a bandit 1200
Have fun with this great bike
Me too!!! This bike is awesome! It’s very kind until 5000rpm, but after - it’s the true evil!!!)))
Very helpful!!! Thanks a lot)))
Thank you I hope you can save some money and do it yourself
Thanks man
Wow that was probably the hardest way of doing that lol no offence
Brutal 😂👍
Hey! Thank you very much for your video!
I’m about to get my chain replaced but I wonder why you didn’t change the front sprocket first? Is there any specific reason?
And what’s the rear sprocket nut size?
Hey there, the reason was that I forgot it before removing the chain. I don´t remember the nut size and the bike is sold, otherwise I would look it up.
Good video, easy to understand. Plan to change chain and sprockets on my 2003 gsf1200s tomorrow. What kind of chain lube do you reccomend? Thanks Kevin Paducah KY
I use whatever chain lube I find in the shops. In my opinion it doesn't make a big difference if its called chain lube. Have fun
hi !!do you have a link for the chain breaking kit and the chain and sprocket set
Hi! Sorry no links but the chain tool is from "Kellermann" and I highly recommend it.
I forgot to put a mark like you did at 1:18 and now I have trouble shifting up 😐 any advice?
Change it one lower?
No grease on the axle? (Not saying youre supposed to I just want to know!)
Think I put it on but off camera. I usually do
Hi stehe auch kurz vor dem Kettenwechsel und wollte fragen ob du mit evtl. einen Link zu deinem Nietwerkzeug schicken kannst?
Hi, scheinbar gibt es meins nicht mehr aber das von Kellermann sieht seeeehr ähnlich aus.
Is that front sprocket nut 30mm? I need to go buy a socket.
32mm.
If you have the proper chain and correct legenth the you cam feed it on using the old chain without taking anything off ? Unless you actually need to change sprockets. Just sayinh
You always change the sprockets
Was that a de-greaser you used?
Yes
What did you use for cleaning it?
I use brake cleaner all over the place
@@bikedogtor1663 Thank you!
Dude what type of chain did u used? Is that the 530? Or 630?
530 I think nothing else fits?
@@bikedogtor1663 I just saw another video about the 630 chain but yeah I think that the 530 is the one !
Wie groß ist die Mutter am Ritzel? 32 oder? Muss man sich aufsitzen um Kette zu Prüfen?
Ich glaube 32, bin ich aber nicht mehr ganz sicher. Die Kettenspannung wird immer aufgebockt geprüft.
Bikedogtor Manche sagen aufgebockt manche anders rum... Bin ziemlich neu und deshalb frage ich. Thx
Wenn das hinterrad einfedert strafft sich die Kette etwas. Deshalb gibt man der Kette etwas Spiel und das wird dann logischerweise aufgebockt eingestellt. Wenn noch Fragen aufkommen, ich helfe gerne.
There should be a second set of O-rings before the plate is installed! The video skips this so I hope you did not forget them.
Thank you and yes I installed them
Where do they go?
@@lpsbbydb on the pins between the outer plates and the inner plates. It seals to keep lubrication in and dirt out where the chain needs to move.
@@emmettturner9452 amazing. Thank you. I saw two orings on my teardown but didn’t know where they go since they fell down. Thanks again

Alten Muttern fürs Kettenblatt nehmen oder nichtmal etwas Loctite verwenden 🙈...die paar Euro fur Muttern sollten drin sein . Bei alten Mopeds könnte man Ruhig den Schleifschutz mit ersetzen 😉
Könnte man 😊
@@bikedogtor1663 ....finde sollte man 😉...immer bedenken wie oft dann solche Muttern evtl wiederverwendet worden sind
@@jannisya3143 Das ist nichtmal das größte Problem an dem ganzen Video...hab jetzt vier Videos von vier verschiedenen Leuten angeschaut, an denen vier verschiedene Arbeiten am Motorrad durchgeführt werden und ich könnte bei jedem einzelnen Video kotzen wie vorgegangen wird...
Hauptsache ein deutscher Videotitel und im Video wird nur "Englisch" gesprochen. 🤣
Schlimm sowas
Der Typ lädt hilfreiche DIY Video und vielen Dank dafür.... Dadurch spart man die teure Werkstatt Rechnungen! Stattdessen kommen unnötig bzw. unbrauchbare Kommentare - Leute NEID ist GIFT!!!
Machs bitte auf deutsch... man merkt dass du dich schwer tust mitm englischen... aber ansonsten geiler job 👍🏻
Danke dir ich denke drüber nach.
His English is great!
Verstehe aber 100 %.......... Verständigung gibt es keine!
Dude what are you ? North African? Beating and kicking on it like that??? Booting the tire in..please never in your fuckin life, touch my 94 Bandit--see videos!
Haha man relax, your wheel and tires get way worse hits while driving.
I was just reading the factory service manual for the Kawasaki EX250J and they literally tell you to kick the tire in to move the wheel and take off the chain.
