I already knew what to do, but the gear shifter...thats gonna be fun, i have the 600rr 2011 so i have more plastics to remove, you have now become my ChrisFix for bikes xD keep the bike videos coming pal.
You made this look so easy but you should have mentioned undoing the front sprocket before cutting the chain. I followed your instructions except grinding couldn't get the link apart I had to resort to bolt cutters and had a hard time as the previous owner /mechanic used threadlock on the front sprocket. Love the video but if you could instruct us novices about the problems that can arise so we don't get caught out that would be great. Thanks.
Nicely done sir. I only cringed a bit when you put the new chain in the vice, without putting a rag between the vice and new part. OCD, don't scratch my new chain. ;)
2:30 you've got great videos and instruction, you explain well also. kudos sir usually i make fun of people talking to an inanimate object being the dvr lol, but youres is actually quite godd haha
I have a question about that rubber damper on the front drive sprocket. If I am installing an aftermarket 520 chain, should I order a new set of those dampers to put on the aftermarket sprocket?
On a cb500x 2019, you DON'T have to break the master link ( aka completely break apart your chain) if you're not replacing the chain and are trying to replace the rear sprocket. After loosening the axle bolt's nut on the right side and loosening the chain-tension locking nuts ( one on each side) that will enable you to slide the entire wheel forward enough to loose enough chain tension. Remove the axle bolt ( 11 ish inches long ), and you'll need to kind of faniggle with the rear brake assembly lifting it at a small angle as you're working on sliding towards you ( to the rear) the wheel as the while you're able to remove the chain from the rear wheel's sprocket little by little. When you're ready to reinstall the rear wheel, as you're feeding/putting the chain on the sprocket, start from the top, otherwise you won't be able to get it on as their is an L shaped ( kinda) piece that is welded to the swingarm frame on the left side that gets in the way otherwise. I just finished my project of going from front/rear of 15 tooth/41 tooth stock sprockets, to 16t/40t sprockets ( I wanted lower rpms at the 60+ mph range for slightly better mpg as mpg starts kind of tanking beyond the 4300 rpm range...., about halfway mark of rpm). Remember these torque values, per honda themselves: Rear sprocket nuts ...85 foot pounds of torque/pound feet of torque Rear axle nut ( on the right side )...65 Chain adjusting lock nut ..one per side of the bike = 20 ( it's the 12mm nut...the 10mm is for moving that long adjusting screw it is hard-attached to that literally presses against the square metal faceplate that the 11 ish inch long axle/bolt goes through) Hope this helped someone. I imagine most of this is similar for the 2013 through 2020 models with possibly some minor differences. Contact honda power sports or google a service manual if you can to confirm the correct torque specs for your make and model bike
@@Fordahord1 ah.yeah..DUH...How the hell else do you think I swapped out the rear stock 41tooth sprocket for a lower tooth one? -_- Anything else private obvious?
Hi John could you please elaborate on how you torqued the front sprocket ? Did you use the back brake to lock the wheel? And is an impact socket safe for removing the countershaft nut?
I have a 2013 Honda cbr500r. Would these steps be the same one my bike? My old chain broke on me a week ago and have hesitation trying to do this by myself. I have all the tools and parts
Question I need help ! I have a new chain and sprocket for my 2019cbr600rr. Vortex 525SX3 Tri-Glide and when all set and adjusted it’s at the 5th mark is that right ?!? My swing arm sticker is farther back than that one in the video so I’m soooooo lost
@@PartzillaParts Sorry I meant to say chain slider. I cannot figure out how to get the center bolt off of the chain slider because the frame is blocking the bolt. I tried looking for a while but still could find no answers. Any advice you can give will be greatly appreciated.
I see different types of front sprockets. Does they matter when the tooth count is 16(oem) ? I mean the center part of the sprocket is differen. There are flat ones and some have something like rubber on them. What I mean is some are bulkier than others.
Is it absolutely necessary to use a riveting tool to compress the plate and the masterlink together? I have seen people use a c clamp and then round some edges in the pin
Excellent vid, thanks. One question though... some vids say put the master link on at the rear sprocket and others recommend in the open? What gives? Ta
You can do either. Some find it easier to lay it on the sprocket for installation. Others prefer more space to work by leaving it in the open. It's just a matter of preference.
Guys today when i was jumping on my bike i saw a plastic coming out of the swingarm. Then i realised that it is the drive chain guide ! Bike is brand new honda 2016 300cc rag, and i did 8.500 km on it yet. Is it normal to have that drivechain to be messed up ? Is it under warranty ?
How do i get the exact measurements for my chain lol Im so new to this I dont want to put it on and its to short or my chain is t long? Someone please help me understand
I had to buy one. I could not remove with rear brake, 2nd person, or in neutral then in gear manually for at least an hour. Must’ve been loctite on previous job. Impact wrench removed it in 5 seconds. Haha
Good video, I did this job last week on my own CBR954RR. Try to have a more steady hand the next time you grind the chain off, you hit the nut on the sprocket a little. :-) I saw you used original sprockets, so I guess it's an original chain too. why was the chain too long ? does honda delivers just 1 type of chain ? One note, the chain-glider has a down side also. You didn't checked. My chain-glider was totally worn on the down side. Because of a very loose chain and poor maintenance. It wears on the bottom when you decelerate. And last a remark for all the bikers that saw this videos, the original front sprocket with the rubber plating on the sides is so important, the non OEM sprocket doesn't have those, and I red a lot of complains of chain-noise because of the missing rubber plating.
Some chains come pre-ready for specific model bikes and don’t need cutting. Some chains do need to be cut. Make sure you use recommend manual link count and count old chain link and match to existing new chain, if manual agrees.
2009 CBR600RR. I just replaced the drive sprocket with the 'supersprox 1370-16T' product. I think it is a little thinner than genuine. Even though the bolts are tightened, the sprockets do not come into close contact with the washers. Pull the sprocket by hand, it move with 1 ~ 2mm gap. No problem? What action should I take?
If you can move the sprocket by hand, that is a problem. That sprocket should be a tight fit for an OEM replacement. Might want to double check your installation.
First, thanks for the kind answers. Sprockets - Washers - Bolts There should not be a gap of 0.1mm between? (I think it's common sense to do this) Installation was done correctly according to the regulations. Sprocket - Washer - Bolt tightened correctly. (However, there is a gap of 1 to 2 mm between the sprocket and the washer.) To guess....So the problem is that 1370-16T is thinner than OEM. (I discard the OEM sprockets when replacing...Because can not compare each other ... confusion and concern ...)
I have no experience installing that specific brand of sprocket, so I don't have first-hand knowledge. They advertise as an OEM replacement, so it should fit as such. 1 to 2mm of play seems like more than it should be on the shaft. .1mm is inconsequential. I've never had a motorcycle that had that much play on the front sprocket.
Buy an OEM new bolt snd measure it if you want to fix the thread on the frame. You should anyway buy a new one. By the way there is no way you can strip a bolt removing it.
What's the stock sprocket teeth for an 04 cbr600rr? Front and back teeth it seems like everyone has a different opinions on it. But I want to keep mine stock. They said it changes your speedometer if you change the teeth on them. Is this truth?
Is a 32mm axle bolt standard for all cbrs? I have a 04 cbr600rr and I want to buy the proper socket for it but I see videos online that say 27 mm socket
Welp I screwed that up I took the chain off first any idea on how to get that front sprocket off oh tha swing arm is off to yea I know I screwed it up 😂😂😂😂 2007 gsxr 750
Im actually going to see one this weekend. 2008 CBR600rr Graffiti Edition. 20k miles. Guy said it turns over but won't start, has been sitting for a year and a half, he tried a new battery but still not starting. May be bad gas or spark plugs. (Plugs I doubt). It needs sprockets and chain, forks resealed, oil/ filter change, coolant flushed, brake pads and brakes bled, tires, and a front upper cowl fairing... WHAT COULD IT BE THAT IT WONT START? I DON'T WANT TO GET A MONEY PIT. Thank in advance Partzilla.😘
Test the spark and make sure it's getting it to the plug. Bad gas is an option, but usually it will start and just run really rough. Could be clogged jets, bad pump. Bring a multimeter and test the components.

Great! Thanks for watching!
You made this job look so easy! Thanks for the awesome video.
Excellent step by step instructions. I'm doing this tomorrow with no fear.
John, you're very clear & thorough in your instructions & examples. Thanks bro!
one of the best installation video. thank you.
Thanks, Beomsu! Appreciate the kind words. Thanks for hanging out; hope to see you around the 'tube!
Nice video, and nice job atatching and swaging the chain.....you made it look easy.
Chains wear, they DO NOT STRETCH!
Thanks for watching, Richard!
Good video. The bit I always find a pain is getting the front sprocket torqued without it rotating by itself.
Than you for being my teacher.
Also can you explain how you found which links on the new chain to cut ?
Thanks Mr. Talley and Partzilla!
Hello there… thanks for all your videos… have one question, you know the reason The ABS light on in my CBR 1000rr 2008.. and how can I fix it??
Is there supposed to be a play on the front sprocket after torqueing the bolt?
But regardless..you make this look really easy. Thanks for the vid.
Love these videos. I have the same model bike and these are very helpful.
This was great. Very good instructions
Nicely done sir.

So I have a broken key in my passenger seat I already replaced all the plastic with new ones do you have any videos that can help me get the key out?
Definitely taught me somethings I didn’t know.
Hi John could you please elaborate on how you torqued the front sprocket ? Did you use the back brake to lock the wheel? And is an impact socket safe for removing the countershaft nut?
When should I replace my chain guide
Awesome video my friend, i totally enjoyed doing the full job on my blade saving a small fortune 💯👍🏻👍🏻😎
Thanks for the video. Really clear.
I can't believe how easy all of this really is, I used to be scared of even taking off my rear tire... lmao
Some jobs are harder than others. Keep going!
I feel like I should’ve loosened the front sprocket bolt first. Having a hard time getting it off without the chain and tire on.
If the chain guard did have to be replaced, would that require the use of a special (Honda) tool?
OEM chain ⛓️ doesn't require cutting ✂️ up?
I have a 2013 Honda cbr500r. Would these steps be the same one my bike? My old chain broke on me a week ago and have hesitation trying to do this by myself. I have all the tools and parts

What size was front spocket on impact
Man I wish you guys would have did the chain slider! I'm having all kinds of trouble!
What kind of trouble?
@@PartzillaParts Sorry I meant to say chain slider. I cannot figure out how to get the center bolt off of the chain slider because the frame is blocking the bolt. I tried looking for a while but still could find no answers. Any advice you can give will be greatly appreciated.
Sir do you need to put lube around the small front sprocket spline when you put a new one?
Do you always have to cut the new chains?
I see different types of front sprockets. Does they matter when the tooth count is 16(oem) ? I mean the center part of the sprocket is differen. There are flat ones and some have something like rubber on them. What I mean is some are bulkier than others.
Thanks for that. Very well presented and explained!
Useful footage! Kudos!
using power impact should only be used for removal right?
mikeyb byekim yes, because you need accurate torque specs
Great video 👍🏼
incredible that metal chains actually stretch
Thank you so much for this video
Good evening I have a 2014 CBR 600rr. Could you place a link too those sprockets and chain?
is it 42 teeth what you said, is it not 41 teeth in back 16 in front and 112 link chain standard for 600rr 2007+
Is it absolutely necessary to use a riveting tool to compress the plate and the masterlink together? I have seen people use a c clamp and then round some edges in the pin
As long as you can sufficiently expand the rivet ends, use whatever method works for you. The chain tool is the best and easiest option.
Great video, not easy for everyone indeed!
Are the torque settings same on 05 cbr rr
Excellent vid, thanks. One question though... some vids say put the master link on at the rear sprocket and others recommend in the open? What gives? Ta
You can do either. Some find it easier to lay it on the sprocket for installation. Others prefer more space to work by leaving it in the open. It's just a matter of preference.

What if your chain is a lot longer than you need How do I know how short to cut it?
Guys today when i was jumping on my bike i saw a plastic coming out of the swingarm. Then i realised that it is the drive chain guide ! Bike is brand new honda 2016 300cc rag, and i did 8.500 km on it yet. Is it normal to have that drivechain to be messed up ? Is it under warranty ?

Very informative. Would it be much different on a 2001 gsxr750? Tired of paying for something I can do myself.
Same concept can be used on most sportbikes. They may have slight variations, but you can get it done.
Partzilla thank you for the reply. I just hope I don't need a special tool to take off the front sprocket. I think I can handle it.
You shouldn't. Just the right sized socket and a breaker bar for leverage.
How do you know how many links to cut? I worry that I'll cut too many! Any help will be appreciated! Love the videos though very helpful
The chain size is 112 links. Cut it down to 112 if your chain is larger.
Love this video "up she goes"
Very helpful videos!
Can you post one showing how to clean the carbs on the 2008 honda cbr600rr?
Thanks
The 2008 CBR600RR is fuel injected. It doesn't have a carburetor. You can put some fuel system cleaner in the tank and run it through the system.
Got it thank you!
Great video. Very useful 👌
Glad it was helpful!
Weird how he barely covered flaring the pins. That's a very important part of the process and you need to be careful.
so front sprocket is always writting out?
really good helped video, also I have a Honda CBR.
Glad you're enjoying the videos, Jigga! Cool that you have a CBR. We've been having a good time wrenching on this one.
Is this job really hard to do without an impact gun im just worried about the front socket mainly
I had to buy one. I could not remove with rear brake, 2nd person, or in neutral then in gear manually for at least an hour. Must’ve been loctite on previous job.
Impact wrench removed it in 5 seconds. Haha

is it necessary to cut that brand new chain? since you removed the front sprocket, can't you slide everything in without cutting chain?
Some chains come pre-ready for specific model bikes and don’t need cutting. Some chains do need to be cut. Make sure you use recommend manual link count and count old chain link and match to existing new chain, if manual agrees.
Jeez this is a good vid
Did I miss the size of the front sprocket nut?
anyone know what the front sprocket bolt/nut is? that is the only thing he didn't say the size of :)
What happened to the gsxr lol still helpful
Those videos are still live!
Do I have to change only the rear sprocket? Or both front and rear?
You can change just the rear, just depends on wear. If the front sprocket is good, no need to change it.
Great tutorial! Did you spray the chain with wax?
No, this one is ready to go straight out of the packing.
2009 CBR600RR. I just replaced the drive sprocket with the 'supersprox 1370-16T' product.

Next time always screw the bolt by hand before using a tool to tighten. You will never strip any bolts that way.

How do you know how many links to cut off the new chain?
If the bike requires, lets say 145 links and you can only buy a 150 (just an example), then you cut off the excess.
What's the stock sprocket teeth for an 04 cbr600rr? Front and back teeth it seems like everyone has a different opinions on it. But I want to keep mine stock. They said it changes your speedometer if you change the teeth on them. Is this truth?
16/43 should be stock. If you alter the tooth count on either sprocket it will affect your speedometer.
Is a 32mm axle bolt standard for all cbrs? I have a 04 cbr600rr and I want to buy the proper socket for it but I see videos online that say 27 mm socket

Im actually going to see one this weekend. 2008 CBR600rr Graffiti Edition. 20k miles. Guy said it turns over but won't start, has been sitting for a year and a half, he tried a new battery but still not starting. May be bad gas or spark plugs. (Plugs I doubt).

I DON'T WANT TO GET A MONEY PIT. Thank in advance Partzilla.😘
Test the spark and make sure it's getting it to the plug. Bad gas is an option, but usually it will start and just run really rough. Could be clogged jets, bad pump. Bring a multimeter and test the components.
appreciate the response.. Although, aren't these fuel injected and so carbs/jets shouldn't be an issue? Or can they still cause problems?
