Thank you. My first try at using Allen keys was a total fail. The bolts were tightened down really tight. I went to hex socket drives and got one side done. The I realized the other side needed a different extension size. I was quite happy when I finally got it done. It's a tight squeeze.
Thanks for the video! About the Abba stand, how tight do you tighten the pinch-bolt so the center stand won't come loose/apart when lifting the motorcycles？ I have a new Abba stand yet to use it, but see several people dropped there bikes while lifting their bikes... I am just concerned. Thanks!
I'm not sure I understand the question. Maybe this will answer it somewhere. There are two adjustments on the Abba stand. 2:17 The black knob on the left nearly touching the ground and the silver threaded T handle on the top of the left upright (in the picture). Abba sells a Fitting Kit spool (or insert) for each type of motorcycle. You adjust the width of the 2 uprights and lock down the width with the black knob near the ground. I turn it about as hard as I can using my hand. I used a big, black Sharpie to draw a line so that I could see if the adjustment moved. You don't need to re-adjust this from use to use. Maybe once a year. You put the spools in the stand and tighten down the T handle. It tightens down almost the whole way. You tighten and loosen the T handle every time you use the stand. The T handle does exert force trying to spread the uprights, so I snug it up to the black line every year. I have never had the motorcycle fall off the stand or even come close. I'm still content using the stand in the video. Happy riding!
@@camgere Thank you answered my question perfectly. My question was exactly about that Black knob close to the ground (where you used a Sharpie to make a reference line); I plan to (during my first use) drill small holes across the main cross-bar (the bottom bar that goes under the motorcycle) then push a pin through these holes to block/keep the adjustment from ever possibly move as I also plan to use my Abba stand for storing my bike through the winter (just want to be sure there is no if or buts and nightmares). Also Thank you very much for your detailed reply 👍👍👍
I bought it online 4 years ago, but it has been discontinued. Any Honda shop should be able to order it for you. Around US $100. Thank you for watching.
I have had smaller motorcycles that I adjusted the chain every 250-500 miles. I'll give the chain a tug with my finger that often to see if it is loose. I clean (kerosene, grunge brush) and lubricate the chain every 1,000 miles. I adjust it every 2,000 or 3,000 miles. The service interval is 4,000 miles, so I could probably get away with letting the shop mechanic do it. I stay below half of redline most of the time, although I do zing it up occasionally. Life is coming at you really fast. Thank you for watching.
Appreciate the video , it's nice to know it can be done without a fender kit. I am trading in my 2011 CB1000R next week for a 2019. A little more complicated than mine , on the 2011 it's just one big easy to access bolt ( although that bolt takes a little muscle , torque to 55lb-ft ) and the manual says do it on the side stand.
Excellent video, very proffessional and detailed. Helped me a lot. I just wonde why there is difference between 2018 and 2019 slack, I have downloaded 2018 and 2018 users manuals from Honda website and both stated the same: 1 9/16" to 1 15/16" (40mm - 50mm) and the sticker on my bike (2019) states 45mm. Anyway, thanks a lot for this great video. Cheers.
Thank you for the kind words. There is some nuance here, The (tiny) user's manual and the (large) technical manual have slightly different statements. Both mention that the slack (2019) should never go above 2 3/8th inch. So if you set it to between 1 9/18" and 1 15/16" slack you should be good. You should definitely re-adjust above this on the 2018 and after 2 3/8" on the 2019. The totally safe thing to do would be to keep is between the 2018 limits all the time. If you have a different theory feel free to reply.
I recently bought a 2021 CB1000R and no spanner came with the new purchase. Was I supposed to get one or is it always a separate purchase? It only came with a wrench and helmet holder strap.
I didn't get one either on my 2019 CB1000R, but it's worth looking in the tool kit before you buy one (or them). I think it is two pieces specifically so that it can fit in the tool kit.
@@camgere Okay, thanks for getting back to me. You'd think they'd throw one in as it's something thatis needing adjustment during break in. I'll see if the motorcycle shop can get me one. 👍
You should be able to order a factory copy through your local Honda dealer. I bought a bound loose leaf photo-copy on line at: www.service-shop-repair-manual.com/2018-2019-honda-cb1000r-cb1000ra-part-61mkj01-service-shop-repair-manual/ Service Shop Repair Manual 2018-2019 Honda CB1000R / CB1000RA Part# 61MKJ01 service shop repair manual It was over a year ago, so I don't remember the exact details It was about half the price of the official Honda manual. I had some problem checking out, but I don't remember exactly what. They shipped it to me fairly quickly. I have found the manual to be useful.
Hi there, I have a question please ! I got a 2019 CB1000R and want to swap stock sprockets. I found a Renthal brand 15T front sprocket & 44T rear sprocket. Will they fit my model ? Also is aluminum anodized a quality material for a rear sprocket (made by Renthal) ? Thank you much
I'm sorry to hear this. Did you use a torque wrench? I've had no problem torquing the bolts down to 20 lb-ft. My mechanic tightened them even more than this. Maybe it is better to let your mechanic do this work. There is always an element of risk when you do your own mechanical work.
@@camgere I brought all the parts and I used the torque wrench to tighten to 27nm and it wasn't clicking the I checked the bolt and I broke it. Either the torque I brought is too powerful or not 100% correct or honda haven't done it right. Then I rudduced the other side to 26nm and it turned abit and clicked. I'm just too strong for this sort of stuff. I don't expect metal just to break.
The manual that came with my bike says "Support you motorcycle securely and raise rear wheel off the ground using a hoist." There is probable a bit of difference in chain slack depending on how you lift the rear tire. If you feel better using a rear wheel stand by all means do it.
I have nothing against MKS units. It makes physics easier. A very good thing. However, we should be using hexadecimal (base 16). 3 11/16" = 3.Bh" or 3 plus one half plus one eighth plus one sixteenth inches. Or it could be centimeters. Are you carpenters and wrenchers with me? Everybody has their little pet peeves. Happy Riding!

Very informative videos. Thanks we’ll explained.
Thank you! Very helpful video.
Excellent video, I was just at the dealer looking at a cb1kr wondering how the heck someone would access those pinch bolts. Now I know.

How often do you need to adjust the chain? Once every 5-7 rides?
I have had smaller motorcycles that I adjusted the chain every 250-500 miles. I'll give the chain a tug with my finger that often to see if it is loose. I clean (kerosene, grunge brush) and lubricate the chain every 1,000 miles. I adjust it every 2,000 or 3,000 miles.

I am Australian and use the metric system. As a dimension what is 2 6/16” is that the same as 2 3/8”?
Yes, thank you for watching.

Kind of cheap that they don’t include that, I got the helmet strap and 1 wrench
Thanks for the vid.
Do you know if the pin spanner is the same for the 2021 NSC ?

Those knee pads are a good idea
Almost ever time I time my bike out mine needs doing it's so annoying.
Does anyone know how to translate the tools to uk sizes because there impossible to find.
try google, you'll be surprised
@@mmdirtyworkz wow how slow I sold the bike now had it for 3 years and the bolt broke to fragile bike
I tried this and I've threaded the pinch bolt

Don't honda recommend stand that goes trough the back wheel or the chain adjustment is wrong.
The manual that came with my bike says "Support you motorcycle securely and raise rear wheel off the ground using a hoist." There is probable a bit of difference in chain slack depending on how you lift the rear tire. If you feel better using a rear wheel stand by all means do it.
There are some additional observations in the Description.
Pretty sure Honda recommends this be done with the full weight of the bike on the ground.
They do not
