Replace Motorcycle Chain Honda Shadow

You can replace the chain on your motorcycle and save time and money. I'll show you how I change the chain on my Honda VT750 ACE - American Classic Edition. You can do this with or without a motorcycle lift. On my bike, I use a 525, 122 link chain. I'll leave a link below to purchase the same chain I use. You will need to determine what chain your motorcycle requires.

Tools I use in my shop:
PLANER: Porter Cable PC-305TP No Longer Available

Photo/Video/Audio Equipment I use:

Great videos Dennis! You have given me the confidence to do this work on my own honda shadow ace 750. Thank you so much. My bike is a 2003 as well. Love riding again after many years off the bike. Thanks again!

Just want to say thank you your videos have helped me work on my 2001 shadow ace deluxe 750

I appreciate the video! I just bought a Honda 750 ACE and noticed the chain was close to worn out.

[PorkChop]

This is what i was looking for. Thank you

Dennis.... Try some Amsoil chain lube. I have used them all . Amsoil is the best. Hope you'll continue with bike videos.

[JfryPeace]

Thx for posting.m. I find 8f not changing sprocket, just attach new chain to old chain at master link, as you pull old chain off, new chain is pulled on....done. I like you vid. Thx

Nice extra chrome cover you mentioned at 1:58. I have sane bike. Where did you get it from ? Also the center V shape cover on the choke knob. Thank you..

Thank you for another excellent video, i would love to see you do a video of your floorboard installation, did you have to do any modifications on those?I am trying to find a cheaper option, but will probably be better off just biting the bullet and getting a pair of cobras or something.seems with cheaper universal ones alot of people complain not enough space between floorboard and shifter, i have seen offset adapters that seem like would solve that but not sure, thanks

[abruptlyblunt]

in the video it doesn't look like there's enough clearance in the case to go to a 1 tooth larger counter sprocket on the 750 ace, did it look that way to you also?

[ronalddominguez]

God bless you too bro! Thanks for the info

[johnnywells]

What kind of pedal and shifter do you have I got a 03 Honda shadow ace 750 been looking for this shifter

[todviper]

What kind of jack stand do you use and where do you jack it up at? Anything special? Great videos

[michaelbell]

Mr. Dennis do you have a part number for the chain. I have a 2000 ace 750

[lucasmiller]

What brand chain did you buy? Have you changed the sprockets?

[gregkliethermes]

Will my 03 shadow 750 spirit chain changing procedure be the same as your bike ? Will the chain size be the same also ? 🤔 thankyou !

[jerryjensen]

Thanks Dennis. How many miles do you get per chain? Original sprockets?

[theDarkRider]

No, no, you need to change the chain and the sprockets at the same time!!
