Thank you. Very well narrated video. One commenter inquired about whether you looked at the dampers. Curious what I should look for other than disassembly for inspection. Some commenters questioned you applying anti seize to the top caliper dog bolt that threads into aluminum. My vote is for careful torque and anti seize as you stated. Maybe there are apps where thread lock is essential? I suppose if the eccentric doesn't move freely grit has worked its way inside this housing. Learned a lot😊
Well filmed & edited as always bro 👍.
Why unbolt the torque arm if you're not pulling the eccentric out the swingarm?
You're only a circlip away from a full strip, plus you'd be able to fully wash out all the old grease from the inner needle bearing ... I've drilled a water drain in mine in the centre of the eccentric clamp section in the 6 o'clock position, also grit intrusion can lock up the eccentric & prevent chain adjustment, even make it near impossible to get the eccentric out at all, blocking off the square holes up near the pivot shaft will stop this problem ... Keep up the good work Rod, I'm jealous of your well equipped garage.
Why not break the axle bolt first (before removing the tire and chain?). Seems like that might make that part easier...?
I just love all your videos.
I know this was done 2 years ago, but I'm going to pull the trigger on a new bike
Looking at an 07 VFR 800, with 16k miles, or a 06 Triumph sprint 1050.
Out of these two bikes, which one will last me 4-5years with the least amount of problems?
I live in MN and ride until I get snow, so riding under 30*F isn't a problem for me.
Thanks for reading this
That's a tough one for me, having owned both bikes. Easy to ride - VFR, Power - Sprint, Suspension/Brakes - VFR, Reliability is a bit of a toss up, the VFR as you know will need its charging system looked at; stator, voltage regulator and the time chain tensioners (all of which is on my channel). The Triumph seems to develop wire harness gremlins as it ages, the 06 is the last of the old style ECM set up and it may be hard to get replacements since the wire harness is different from the springs that came after it. Fowlers Parts out of the UK was a great source to get factory parts for me. The Sprint is bigger, more powerful and a lot of fun when you roll that throttle. There are more options to do longer distances more comfortably with this bike, least of which is not having to shift a lot of gears to accelerate, pass, climb hills. The VFR800 is a much calmer and more nimble state, with a couple of mods and the trust that the 11,000RPM redline is a real number so you can accelerate to 10,000 of those easily, it is a capable machine. Everyday riding = VFR. Long distance tour = Sprint
Good Luck!

Very clear and precise to a Brit with a 91 750 model, having trouble finding a gasket to seal between the Muffler and the collection box,
Can you help please?

Thanks for Commenting, Ride Safe!
On the carrier arm, you are supposed to remove the nutted bolt with the cotter pin, not the bolt into the swing arm, reason is that you can damage the aluminum swingarm. You can always replace a bolt, nut and cotter pin.
Great tutorial. Thanks for posting!
Thanks for watching!

You should have loosened the axle nut before removing the chain. Speaking of the brakes, i noticed that the caliper has the OEM brake lines. Those should be replaced as well when replacing the pads. I also believe that these rear calipers need to have their dust seals replaced because of the location of the caliper and its exposure to water and road salts every time you replace the pads.
Nice video! How do you synch them in post?
Two tracks and you use an audible sync like slapping your hands together. You then bounce back and forth between video tracks, using the best one for audio.
What kind of grease.? Moly or not.?
Lithium Complex Grease for high speed bearings like the hub. Molly grease is for high stress low rotational movement, like swingarm linkage or frame bearings and waterproofing. ruclips.net/video/L2vkqwKEET8/видео.html
did you check the dampeners inside the hub?
I think you are confusing anti seize with thread lock when you said the bolt on the brake stay was hard to unscrew. tap out the hole to remove all the thread lock, before installing a new bolt. The speed sensor on the VFR is on the front sprocket, not the rear wheel, but there is a sensor for ABS models on both wheels
Anti seize doesn't glue the threads like a loctite or other thread locking compounds but it does create a tighter surface contact area in the threads and makes them less susceptible to backing out from vibration or expansion. A bolt with anti seize won't allow corrosion to take hold and that is why when you have steel in contact with aluminum its so important. Thread lock does not prevent this. Old timey mechanics use valve lapping compound in their sockets to make sure they get a good grip on high torque bolt heads. The anti seize compound makes for a solid grip in the threads without the adhesive characteristics of thread lock. In the Honda shop manual the rear sensor is actually referred to the ABS sensors at the front and rear wheels as a Speed Sensor. The sensor that drives the speedometer is actually on the front sprocket, you can see this sensor while standing beside your 6th Gen. bike.
@@RodRidesWrenches those bolts have thread lock on them, look at the manual, it tells you to use thread lock, so it will of been applied at the factory
Partially correct, Rod was referring to the ABS wheel speed sensor location, the guy's not perfect at dialogue, give him a break he's human ffs, he's trying, which is far more than most aim to do.
I think you are really saying Thread Lock rather than anti seize. Anti seize is very different product for different purposes.
Hondas method of a stake indent is really unsat in my opinion. Best to drill and safety wire the nut when installation is completed.
Thanks for this video. I have a problem where I cant Loosen or tighten my chain? do you know what could be causing this?
Hi Scott, so you've loosed the pinch bolt at the back of the axle? Make sure this bolt has a number of threads above the swingarm. Use some good pressure on the spanner to move the eccentric bearing holder. Once that is done and if you are unable to move the eccentric I would bet that there is a bunch of dirt and chain grease binding it up. Clean with degreaser & pressure wash the area behind the sprocket and brake rotor next to the swingarm. If the eccentric is seized up you may have to break the chain and pull the axle out and the rear axle bearing holder which comes out the sprocket side. Here is a link to a manual for the VFR if you need it. www.manualedereparatie.info/manuale/honda/Honda_VFR_800_VTEC_2002_Manual_de_reparatie_www.manualedereparatie.info.zip
@@RodRidesWrenches thank you so much. I'll get to work now cheers
Grit ingress inside swing arm, known to lockup eccentric hub, can be a real nightmare to even get the eccentric out, square holes x2 up near spindle need blocking off, no more grit ingress, drill a 3mm water drain hole @ 6 o'clock in the swing arm hub clamp section.
I removed the adjustment bolt and used a pry bar to free it and sprayed Wd40 in there to free it then TF2 Teflon lubrication spray to keep it good. The Cush drive rubbers in my 1989 Honda bros 650/ Hawk Gt had turned to dust and needed replacing. The brake lines needed replacing becouse of age and I put ebc HH sintered pads in too greatly improved the breaking. I think I will put some moly paste on the spines as is recommended on Honda deauville shaft drive spines when I buy some. Moly grease isn't good enough. Great video thanks for making it and thanks for all the helpful comments as well.
