I love the idea of more “How to” videos, you’re clear, concise, and show how to do things in accessible ways

[@giovannimecenero5765]

Vincent Defosche yeah its so simple that you cant go wrong with a good explain

[@DanThaDevil]

only thing no one seems to ever add with these great videos, just simply adding what tools and sockets you need to use....

[@BobbyDully__P]

Two things missing. Torque wrench and chain alignment tool. You dont want to over torque anything and dont want uneven tire tread. You also didn't properly check the chain slack. Im not trying to be nit picky but they are vital to a degree. But I have experienced an over tight chain and misaligned rear sprocket. You can feel it in your arse

[@kyleevans907]

He used the lines on the swing arm and the trusty finger on the chain test

[@samlee6240]

What is the torque specs for those bolts

[@kingjoules2581]

Re axel is 36
Front is 25
Could only imagine sprockets being 15-20 with loctite...

[@mitko_wtf]

Super happy that you decided to go with this kind of videos mate! Keep up the good work

[@chrislaz2473]

I do like a good how to series. 👍🏽
Maybe do some how to custom mods?

[@Itam2137v2]

I guess that this chain have never seen a chain lube

[@DaMitch79]

Omg watching you doing this with the Mickey Mouse Tools hurts.

[@cprn.]

You kind of skipped the alignment. I was hoping to see how you do it at home. RyanF9 shows a thread and stick method but it seems excessive.

[@nickeleytheriou5005]

You made your chain very tight. Remember...when adjusting your chain, the centers of the two sprokets and the axis of the swingarms must be at the same line (at this position the DISTANCE between the two sprokets is at its max and there you must adjust the "play" of your chain)

[@Miguel-ng5wm]

Also the nut torque spec is unkown here. I think it needs a little bit more tightening

[@jdl66e]

Buen trabajo!

[@kevinvadagnin7774]

😀👍grazie ciao

[@SuperMilhauz]

You should put also tightening torque

[@jxntyop]

Good work

[@marysegillesmateo1830]

c'est bien bonne video mais perso la chaîne et légèrement trop tendu quand on remonte la chaîne vers la protection il faut presque quelle la touche, ou 51 à 56mm en appuyant la chaîne vers le bas à partir de la protection ou 3cm de battement et un serrage de 105 nm pour l'axe de roue,par contre le graissage tout les 500kms c'est mieux et celà reviens moins cher, g.v. quand-même.

[@pagadqs]

Man, you did a whole chain removal and replacement, but you didn't open the manual to check that on this bike, they recommend measuring the slack by pushing down on the chain and measuring a distance from the swingarm 🤦🏽‍♂️

[@ahmedakkad5800]

What size is the bolt on the front sprocket? Thanks!

[@macallan3933]

Looks like 32 mm but I also don't know

[@Unzie-sl9kj]

Front sprocket will need a 30mm socket and rear nut will need a 27mm to slide out the axle pin

[@mudhutproductions]

Curse Yamaha for never coming up with a decent center stand for these things.

Bon taf le tahitien
