I'm watching this video like, "Why does this guy sound so familiar" and then I realized that you're the same guy who changed out a rear bumper on an MX5. I used that video as a guide for a project about a year or so ago. I'm convinced that you and I are living the same life, because we both had NDs, and now i've got a CB300R as well. thanks for the helpful vids man.
@@aegisXcore Sporty bikes are funner than the Miata but Miata is funner than cruisers and big tourers. I'm actually more concerned when I drive the Miata compared to bikes cause there is a lot more weight and takes up more space so if something goes wrong the damage you can do is greater. Also even with my Miata as is now with how sharp it is it still feels like I have less control compared to a bike. I'm just more one with my bikes than the Miata. Maybe I just need to drive the Miata more. I put more miles on two wheels than four per year for sure.
The 2019 CB300R manual says to check chain tension while on the side stand. The other reason not to use the the wheel stand is it hides the alignment marks and it's important to make sure both sides are adjusted evenly. The bike is so light anyways you can tilt it onto the sidestand with one hand to lift the rear wheel when you want and spin the rear wheel with your hand. I often spin the bike around 180 degrees on the kickstand to park it. Rear axle is 65 lb-ft or 88 Nm torque. You can tell once you get the eye for it when the chain has too much sag and when it's too tight but use a ruler until you know by looking at it that freeplay is between 30-40mm. You should see a very slight sag in a properly adjusted chain and swingarms often get in the way of accurate measurements. My CB300R chain needed adjusting already 2 weeks after buying it new which is really early compared to other bikes I've had. It will settle out so you don't have to keep adjusting it all the time.
Is it true that the chain should not touch the rubber guard on the swingarm at all? It's so close to the chain it seems like by the time it stops touching it, it'll be tighter than 35mm
I have been hearing rattling when I ride for the past few days took my bike into the garage and rode it down the street without a helmet to pinpoint the noise and the chain was slapping the swing arm I wish I had the tool that holds the bike up would make this job a lot easier
It does make it easier for finding the tightest point but after that it is not needed. The chain can be adjusted on the side stand. Just make sure you tighten both side adjuster the same amount.
@@pjgem2457 to find the tight point of chain just roll the bike a few inches at a time and feel the slack. once you get to the tight spot adjust from there. Usually when the chain is loose it is very hard to find the tight spot so might just tighten it up to spec then roll a little at a time to find the tight spot. Once you get the tight spot then adjust to spec from there.
Happy to see you're still riding these fun little 300cc bikes. I still have my 2016 CB300F, recently upgraded with an SP Takegawa ECU, short M1 muffler and a few other little things. What ever happened to that CBR300R that you used a CBR250R piston in? Love the look of the new model, I might loan my '16 to my girlfriend and get the new one so we can ride around together.
Too long video but thanx anyway. I wonder if anyone uses bashguard for chainstay on their motorcycles same as used for mountainbikes where you wrap the chainstay with an inner tube.
I'm not sure measuring the alignment with a tape measure is accurate here. Because the exhaust/muffler gets in the way the causes the tape measure to bend slightly, throwing off the measurement
@@DaBinChe Oh I'm curious how? I've been trying to decide which is better, this method, or just measuring the bolt from the adjustment nuts to the end of the bolts
@@DaBinChe i didnt understand,,plz tel me in simple words bro ,,im confused about the measurments,,manual says 30mm-40mm should i adjust it for 30mm r 40mm are inbetween ,,plz help me
Do you have problem of chain making clicking-rattle sound when you engine to 1st gear and so fort. You wont hear it clearly on helmet on. Jack the rear tyre up and engage the 1st gear and you will hear the sound, it does not have during idling Neutral gear. Many of my friend bought CB250R (Asian model) had this issue too, change the chain the sound still there. Uploaded video > ruclips.net/video/YxVNAm6_Akk/видео.html

Great bike, miss it.
@@DaBinChe and i miss the MX5. i got rid of it during the summer. we can alternate if you'd like lol

He actually addresses your concern about the wheel stand if you watched the video

@@DaBinChe I wanted to adjust it but I figured that the stand was needed to do the job right

What spools are used to lift Bike on rear stand? I have stand but need to know what spools will work.
Can you confirm 19mm and 24 mm for the axle bolt and bolt on otherside ? Also drain bolt 12mm ? Thanks !
yes 24 and 19, drain is 12
Too long video but thanx anyway.

it is accounted for
@@DaBinChe Oh I'm curious how? I've been trying to decide which is better, this method, or just measuring the bolt from the adjustment nuts to the end of the bolts
@@iamignign0kt most the time the adjustment nut guide is off from one side to the other. Sometimes they match up but that is less often then not.
should i set the chain slack on 30mm or 40mm.?
Set it for the middle of range but you need to do that at the tightest spot of the chain.
@@DaBinChe i didnt understand,,plz tel me in simple words bro ,,im confused about the measurments,,manual says 30mm-40mm should i adjust it for 30mm r 40mm are inbetween ,,plz help me
@@mayan8340 I use the middle of the spec in this case 35mm, but you have to find the tight spot on the chain. The adjustment is from this point.
@@DaBinChe thank you
Tightened it but still slapping around making a rattling noise I’m in the red zone now too idk what to do
time for a new chain and sprockets
@@DaBinChe I’ve only had the bike for a year and bought it brand new
@@pjgem2457 stock oem chain don't last long. Get a high end DID 520 chain
Wtf. You’re special. lul
Do you have problem of chain making clicking-rattle sound when you engine to 1st gear and so fort. You wont hear it clearly on helmet on.

That is normal when in gear, most bikes do this, everything is engage so there is more noise.
@@DaBinChe Thanks for the info
