      Great information and video. What you said about the axle plates came true for me. An older biker than me told me to look for perfect center on the rear sprocket and chain. Don't worry about the adjusters being even.

      @albertstabelli5869 it’s an often overlooked piece of advice, people say just look at the adjusters and never realize they aren’t the full picture of alignment

    Thanks for sharing this. I've done all of my adjustments at the axle while trust the manufacturer got everything symmetrically perfect. Now I'm gonna have to get one of those tools too. Could certainly use one right now.

    Great video, a new tool I was not aware of like the segment you did on bleeding brakes. I appreciate that you share your knowledge and will help support your efforts.

      Thanks brotha! If you use the link in my description it helps the channel but beyond that the feedback like this is what it’s all about man, I didn’t have a mentor in this when I got started so I’m trying to fill that gap for people who are in the same boat

    I replaced the alignment rod with a 1/8" drill bit that's about 4"-5" longer than the original rod The longer rod makes it easier to see misalignment/alignment.

    You're using the adjustable wrench backwards. Flip it over and pull. This will put the pressure on the tool and not the jaw.

    I bought that tool about about a minute into the video. At about $17, probably worth its weight in fork oil.

    This is great. I just fabricated my own hardtail frame and I'm making the engine mounts next. Any tips on making sure I have the *front* sprocket aligned properly?

    Check your rear wheel before buying this type of aligner ( rod or laser)- if the rear sprocket is smaller than the rear hub it won’t fit. Certainly doesn’t fit the Triumph Bonneville T120!

    Will that tool work with a belt

    • @greasesgarage
      @greasesgarage  Год назад

      That’s a good question, if you give me the width of the belt in question I could tell you whether the opening on the tool is big enough

    "Coat the entire chain with lube" and the tyre 👎 Use a piece of cardboard to stop the aforementioned.... Takes longer, but if you like leaning over...

    That bike looks like it's a nightmare to maintain, man.

    • @greasesgarage
      @greasesgarage  5 месяцев назад

      Can’t imagine why that would be. Everything is out in the open. No covers, gaskets to change, stuff in the way etc.
      If this is a nightmare to maintain I can’t imagine what you’re riding that’s easier lol

    spend some time learning about what you are trying to teach people , your lack of motorcycle knowledge is cringe worthy and also don’t make any left turns because that’s the side of the tire with gobs of chain lube on it lol!!!!!!!

    • @roadkill8161
      @roadkill8161 2 месяца назад

      you can give advice or criticism without being a dick. Like to prevent overspray getting on your tire put a bit of card between the chain and tire to catch the overspray or use a straw nozzle on your chain lube.
