Don`t know if you still watch the comment section . I will have to do the same job tomorrow on my hornet pc 34 and this videos are very informal and straight forward , thanks !
Amigo,jamás se usa una dinamométrica para aflojar. Esa dinamométrica no vale ya para dar el par de apriete correcto,está descalibrada. Otra cosa,antes de desmontar cadena,aflojar corona y piñón
Decreasing size at the front/increasing size at the rear increases torque on the wheel but lowers top speed. Increase size at the front/decrease size at the rear reduces torque on the wheel and increases top speed.
Yes, but it's always a tradeoff. Either your decrease top speed, but increase accelleration (smaller front and/or larger rear), or you get higher top speed, but slower acceleration (larger front and/or smaller rear). When you're changing gears you're always trading in one for the other, if you want both you need a bigger engine. ;)
Let's not forget that the speedometer will be affected too - the pickup is driven off the front sprocket so the speed reading will be way off now too. SpeedoHealer will sort that out.
This bike was used for gymkhana competitions, so top speed was irrelevant, but it needed even more acceleration, even when below 5k rpm where the Hornet can feel a bit lacklustre.
I'm sorry, I usually restrain from commenting negative opinions, but I cant help it right now. You don't seem to be very good with mechanical stuff, and I would definately consider bringing a friend to help you next time, or maybe let a dealership do this for you, even though chain and sprocket replacement is fairly easy to do. Just my 10 cents on the matter... good luck. Nice bike though! :)
At the time of recording I was a truck technician, so either I was a bit more proficient than you give me credit for or my bosses were incompetent for hiring me. I'm a prototype vehicle technician for the same company now so I guess I must be doing something right. Or, you should feel very afraid when you're driving behind a truck.

Glad to hear you found it helpful!
Had same issue with back sprocket. Went to service with a wheel to take em off
15:38 these nuts
What size of chain did you use?
Next bike I will get well definitely be shaft drive 😂
I still own this bike, but I swapped out my daily for a shaft drive as well. :D
@@DaHitch cool

what does changing the sprocket size do again?
Decreasing size at the front/increasing size at the rear increases torque on the wheel but lowers top speed.
Increase size at the front/decrease size at the rear reduces torque on the wheel and increases top speed.
Is there a reverse so better top end?
Yes, but it's always a tradeoff. Either your decrease top speed, but increase accelleration (smaller front and/or larger rear), or you get higher top speed, but slower acceleration (larger front and/or smaller rear).

@ DaHitch - That's why there's the CB900F-x :)
so you want more acceleration ? .. on a hornet 600 .. sure ok .. well :D
