"The Hardest part of this whole process was getting. this. nut. off. .... I tried four different methods to get it off." Hahahaha AM I the only one who noticed this??
great job and great video i also do the service on my bike too. well done.i would advice to use a tread lock on the bolts on the rear sprocket just in case , and also make sure when you do that ,you do not let the breake disk touching the floor because it will damage your break sistem
I am replacing my engine (thrown rod) and in an effort to save the chain, i thought i would try and remove the front sprocket.... no dice. I ended up getting so mad, I bashed the shit out of everything on the old engine and tore the chain off with a metal grinder. My advice to anyone thinking about a 650cc- Buy a Suzuki SV650 instead.
just got a bike again after 10years & gonna look aftr dis 1 myself, videos like yours are giving me da confidence 2 do so. goin out now 2 attack my chain & sprockets, fingers crossed.
@AtlasRider i highly agree with you. its relaxing... but only when you know what you're doing lol then it results in stress and cursing, but when you're done the satisfaction feels really good.
Actually, the main reason I replaced my chain and sprockets was so that I could change my gearing. I went with the tallest gearing I could find for the sake of fuel economy. This isn't my go-fast bike, so I figured I would enjoy the 70+ MPG I can now easily achieve.
That's how I felt at first too. Get a copy of your service manual. Mine tells you everything you need to know. Once I read through it, I realized how simple things really are.
nice wheelie at the beginning.... :)

I'm pretty new to biking, could you tell me if you generally *have* to replace the sprockets every time you change the chain?

If you can, in the future use an impact driver to get your engine sprocket off.

I enjoy working on my bike. Some other people do too. I'm glad you voiced opinion of laziness.
