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

[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

[chrislaz]

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

[mitko_wtf]

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

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)

[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.

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

[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 🤦🏽‍♂️

[elfriendly]

nice video but i think chain slack is low, its soo tight

[DaMitch]

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

[ahmedakkad]

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

[Itamv]

I guess that this chain have never seen a chain lube

[marysegillesmateo]

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.
