Motorcycle Chain & Sprockets Replacement

The Chain & Sprockets on your motorcycle tend to wear out over time and require replacement. This video will walk you through what to look for and the proper way to replace both the front and rear sprockets, along with the chain on your machine. When you are replacing these parts on your bike it's important to replace both sprockets and the chain all at the same time. If you only replace one or the other it could cause premature wear of these components. Rocky Mountain ATV/MC carries chains and sprockets for just about every machine and gives you gearing options along with color and design options to suit your specific needs. In this video we're installing Primary Drive Front and Rear Sprockets along with a Primary Drive Gold X-Ring Chain onto a Suzuki RMZ250 but these same steps can be used to replace the chain and sprockets on just about any dirt bike.

At 6:29, when re-installing the rear wheel, that would also be a magnificent time to re-grease your axle. Lots of riders neglect this. Makes such a huge difference. I have always used the blue marine grease you can get at walmart.

3:35 blows my mind someone would wear down a sprocket that far

OK, To get the correct torque reading the torque wrench should be put on the Nut, not the bolt head. Using the bolt head will give an false reading due to measuring the addtional friction of turning the bolt in the sprocket. Always apply torque to the nut in these applications! 🙂

@Trav Ohlsen Which bike are you riding? Is it the jam nut that is stripped or is it the bolt head or threads? If it's any of the above you'll have to remove them any way you can and just replace the parts. If it's the threads in the swingarm that are stripped you'll have to drill and tap them and you can use a heli coil or something similar to fix them but it just depends on which part is stripped.

When I was a kid, my friend was riding his bmx bike and reached down to check his chain ... he kept peddling and his fingers went into the front sprocket. His fingers stayed there until his dad came and loosened the back rim and got the chain loose 😮

I changed the rear sprocket and rear wheel but not the front sprocket and chain. When i spin the rear wheel on the stand the chain seems to grip as it leaves the sprocket at the top and then ping off the sprocket. Could this be wheel alignment or is it likely to need a new chain and front sprocket?

Can also use an impact on the nut on front sprocket

Lol someone decided to paint the casesaver mid video!

Where would be the best place to put a chain idler on a softail motorcycle, on the swing arm itself?

[mikeparkinson]

It may have already been said but there is no need to add Threadlock on Nylock nuts.

Will that sprocket removal tool work on a sportbike?  Does the tool have a specific name?  Can I by it on your website?

[travohlsen]

my chain adjuster are stripped i do not know how to bring it back i got a new chain and i didnt know they were stripped its a 2nd hand bike any tips plz

[judownie]

Why do you add thread lock when the nuts are already supplied as locknuts? Belt and braces perhaps?

[markgintoli]

So when removing/installing the rear wheel, you can just slip it out of the break? Their is nothing you have to disassemble to get the wheels disc out of the break itself?

[Wongigigi]

Do all primary drive kits come with bolts?
