[schokoprinz]

[todddhel]

[SuperSneakySteve]

[todddhel]

@SuperSneakySteve ya i should have noticed the single exhaust pipe.

[smurfking13]

i need a new chain for my 2001 gsxr 600 how many links on the chain would you recomend and wut chain

[SuperSneakySteve]

@smurfking13 I"m not sure about the suzuki, but a quick google search would give you the answer. I also find it helpful to find a motorcycle forum for the kind of bike you own.

If you don't have an air-wrench don't use a torque wrench!! Use a breaker bar. Also use a 6-point socket rather than a 12-point, as the nut will stand a better chance of being broken free without damaging the nut or socket.

I couldn't have said it better thumbguy. you sound like a technician. What do you ride? Anywhere in phoenix? I'm in MMI right now

[thumbwave]

No, I just work on my own rides. Good luck in school!!

[dinoballs16]

@phxsmallfry hows MMI treatin ya. im thinkin about goin in orlando.

[phxsmallfry]

@dinoballs16 it was great, I graduated the one in phoenix, and now I'm working at a dealer in las vegas nv. I would recomend it. It' pricy though. They help anyone with financing, even my horrable credit. just be prepared to pay when u get out. about $150 a month. not horrable. shoot me ur email if u wanna talk more.

@thumbwave any advice besides body building? ive been using a torque wrench and i cant get the front sprocket nut off for shit. ive about broke my damn back tuggin and pushin on that shit.

[thumbwave]

@dinoballs16 Think leverage. Use a breaker bar (not a torque wrench) with a 6-point socket. One trick it to extend the leverage of the breaker bar by slipping a hollow 3 or 4 foot section of chain-link fence post over the bar to make a longer leverage bar. The front sprockets often have some type of Loctite or threadlocker that can be weakened with a heat. Try a heat-gun (not a hair-dryer) over the sprocket before loosening.

[paulfranke]

nice video. just needs more light to see the things you are talking about in detail.Hope to be replacing my chain and both sprockets on my 95 Yamaha FZR this winter.

[juniorxxnho]

do you cut the chain with the dremel tool on just any link of the chain or the master link? or does it even matter because its trash?

Oh and why didn't you use the chain breaker??

[JuiceBanger1]

good video, bit fuzzy at times, but explained enough for me to tackle it myself on my fireblade RRX.

[vinaicar009]

thanks, your movie is very helpful. do i got to have the chains breaker to reconnect the new chains or is there another way to reconnect the new chains? thanks.

[BEEPERHAWK]

so i dremel the chain off , what do i "squish" install it with ? a chainbraeker ?

[SuperSneakySteve]

Ask the shop for a chain tool to mushroom the rivits. Not sure what it's technically called. Some tools are a breaker/shroomer combo. Sometimes they are seperate tools.

[bobwatters]

@BEEPERHAWK i found a chain breaker and riveter tool for 50 bucks on ebay its the cheapest i found and did both works great and is worth the money since u can use it forever

[jcadwell1172]

you should make more videos like this...maybe have someone else hold the camera for you so they can keep it steady... i like the way you guys work though, very explanatory.
