    Excellent presentation. Simple, easy to install as one of my Xs650's unlike my 650 BSA and Triumph units. I swapped the front and rear sprockets on the Xs units and it made a great improvement on lowering the engine RPM's and smoothing the ride overall. I plan on distance touring on my Interceptor and after I make this post I'll call my RE dealer and order a 16-tooth sprocket. Thank you :)

      Thanks for watching Motormike B! I actually wanted to recommend you the 17T that is now available for GT and Interceptor, it will make a great touring machine, however you will need to get a longer chain to fit the 17T. The 16T is perfect for my style but I feel like if I was using mine for touring to cover freeway miles I would use 17T with longer chain (101 pitch) but I think only 102 pitch chain is available with stock rear (38T) sprocket.

    Thanks for the video. I just installed a 17T front sprocket on my GT650. Now I can more comfortably cruise the highways around me. Since the speedo is off if I hold 80mph on the speedo (75mph according to gps) and my RPMs are now 4500 instead of the 5400 they used to be at.

    • @GrewalsGarage

    I have an INT650 and live in the Blue Ridge Mountains of NC. I ride the backroad twisties and went with the 16 tooth. I don't experience any noticeable loss of acceleration and I don't have to shift as much, I can pretty much live in 3rd gear.

    • @GrewalsGarage
      @GrewalsGarage  Год назад +1

      Thanks for watching Jon, the torq band for these 650s is constant whether your in 3rd or 4th, it will pull on the hill like no tomorrow. Majority of my riding Is also on curvy hill back roads. 4th gear is the sweet spot for me, usually hitting 40-45mph on those backroads. However, 16teeth does give me more topend speed and lowers the RPM when cruising on the freeway! Glad your liking the 16teeth, will improve longevity of the engine with low rpms!

    If your looking for a smoother , progressive less of and on /off or choppy throttle then the 16 tooth will be a winner for you. I've run them for 21000kms now. Everytime i get on a stock bike i feel they feel stressed ,more choppy in throttle response. And the smoothness of the 16 tooth spoils youm

    Pease check and recheck if the chain tension is same all around. Mine wasn't so and I've paid the price as my chain became partly more streched out and less streched out over time . The authorised service centre folks but the blame on wrong instalation and anyways i have to foot the bill. But I'm ok as the gas mileage I've saved with this mod has more than paid for the the chain and sprocket times over considering the price of fuel here.

    • @GrewalsGarage
      @GrewalsGarage  Год назад +1

      Thanks for watching, sorry to hear that, the right amount of tension on the chain is really crucial as that determines the life of the chain and the sprocket teeth. The tension shouldn't be too tight or too loose as that will also introduce the chopping noise. Its's a good idea to get an alignment done anytime you take off the tire, this is why I use the measuring trick to straighten the wheel as much as possible.
      Glad your liked the mod and it definitely helps with fuel efficiency.

    • @GrewalsGarage
      @GrewalsGarage  Месяц назад

      No loss of power in city or inclines, the sprocket is changed only by one teeth which does not impact the gear ratio much to feel the difference. This 650 motor is torqy and you will not feel the difference between a 15 or 16 teeth sprocket. No cons of this mod, only one I can think of is the chain needs be to adjusted correctly else the chain will wear out quickly.

      That would be too much of a hassle to get a drop in rpm. Specially if you’re not spending majority of time cruising on highway speeds. If your riding mostly in city traffic or such then more torq is preferred over top end speed.

    • @GrewalsGarage
      @GrewalsGarage  5 месяцев назад +1

      Hi, 14 teeth is more for torq where on higher speeds the rpms will increase. I would recommend 14th teeth if you’re building your motorcycle as an off road/touring machine, with luggage, gear, mud terrain tires and climbing off road trails, somewhat like a scrambler.
      14th teeth will give you the torq to climb those hills. Hope that helps!

      If your referring to the 4 speed motorcycles, those have a different torq delivery. These 650 engines stock 15th teeth is more than capable to tackle any hills. I would recommend to consider what you want to use it for but yes 14th teeth will not hurt in anyways will give you more punch when launching and climbing will be torqy.

    Hello bro the new RE sm650 is having an issue of the front sproket and the whole chain set wearing out only at like 10k kms.What is your opinion on this, and how would u solve this?

    • @GrewalsGarage
      @GrewalsGarage  Месяц назад

      If the chain set is wearing out then inspect all of these.
      1. If the front sprocket was replaced then make sure the sprocket sits aligned on the shaft and flush against the case. Also confirm the sprocket bolt is torqued properly so it’s not loose. If the sprocket is not aligned properly that could be causing chain wear. And other issues.
      2. If above is correct, then inspect proper chain slack (not too tight and not too loose).
      3. Inspect the rear wheel hub sprocket teeth, they should not be shaved/broken.
      4. Inspect the rear wheel alignment is straight, evenly tighten the chain tensioner bolts on both left/right side. If the rear wheel alignment is not done properly that could stretch the chain O-rings.
      5. Inspect the chain itself, you should not be able to stretch the chain with hands. If the chain is bad, then you will need to replace the chain. Also lube the new chain once installed.

      You don't loose the torq yet gain more as the free flow system breathes better and if your just replacing mufflers than you don't need to worry about anything cuz headers have restricted catz build in.

    Which sprocket will give me the longest chain life?

    • @GrewalsGarage
      @GrewalsGarage  Год назад

      Thanks for watching. The sprocket teeth will not determine the longest chain life. The teeth count just changes the gear ratio, torq, RPMs, and high end speed.
      To get the most out of your chain, you need to make sure the rear wheel is straight and aligned properly so there is no stress on either side of the chain. Second, the tightness of the chain... chain should not be too loose or too tight as that will damage the O-rings in the chain and will cause play. Too tight will stretch the chain over time and too loose can cause damage to the sprocket teeth. Lastly, regularly lubricate the chain for longevity. Hope this helps!

      @joshuathomas8529 Год назад

      @GrewalsGarage yes this helps. I have hurd that the 650 super meteor has been having chain stretch issues. Has this been the case with the interceptor? How many miles should you get out of a chain if properly maintained?

    • @GrewalsGarage
      @GrewalsGarage  Год назад +1

      @joshuathomas8529 that’s probably due to how it’s tightened. A well maintenance chain should last at least 15k miles or more depends on how regularly you inspect it. Over all the bikes I owned, I never replaced the chain. I have roughly 10k on my 500cc and the chain is still like brand new.
      Another way you can check is, by checking how much play you have in chain or each individual links. Sometimes the o rings require replacement but that’s more for high torq bikes.

    • @joshuathomas8529
      @joshuathomas8529 Год назад

The chain must not have been properly maintained.
