I'm glad you're still giving the CBR some love after getting the beamer.

Your channel is quite unique, you make it simple, easy, clear ... etc and without heavy montage like music and stuff.

Shout out to honda for putting all those cooling hoses directly where you need to work.

Thumbs up for literally one of the best sport street bikes ever made!

just a tip from an old salty rider whos streched a couple new chains trying to get stuck sprocket nuts off the countershaft, break your front sprocket nut loose before breaking the chain. this way you can keep it in gear and have a fat buddy sit on it and press the rear break instead of trying to get a special tool or jam something in there. if youve done the bike before it may not be necessary but ive seen factory countershaft nuts practically fuse to the sprockets and threads

Used clip style link on my vf750c. Not a single issue and very little chain stretch on my CZ Gold. After a few miles, I got the courage full throttle pulls then forgot about it. Love this chain. It's not stretching. At the time of this service I had a taller rear tire profile do to availability. Hated this tire from the start. Replaced tire with standard profile and went with a 1 tooth count sprocket change performance. I have my bike back. 500 rpm more at 65mph. Better milage. Better performance. It's a very happy Magna

Love to see you still giving the 600RR attention out here. I love my 2008 and did the same -1 in the front with a 520 chain two years ago. It really did open the bike up a bit, but I might go back to stock when I need a new chain. I daily the bike a lot, and the throttle is way more twitchy with the mod, which is fun..but dangerous to my license. And while it doesn’t offer “more” power, it does shift the torque curve towards the bottom end, boosting the acceleration a bit.

Another great video. Great bike and great choice with the Speed O' DRD. I added it to my 2006 VTX1300C years ago and never looked back. I still need to add it to my 2006 CBR1000RR as it was of a bit off too, but oddly enough was mostly corrected within 2 MPH by going with a 190/55 Q3 tire with stock gearing (sprockets). So, I've been lazy about getting to adding the DRD to the CBR, but I need to get it done. Thanks for showing how easy and no need to pull tank, airbox, etc. off to plug it in. Great choice with the Lightech Chain Adjusters. Although, I'm very jealous as I couldn't find any for my 2006 CBR1000RR. Apparently, they stopped making them for my model/year or else I would buy them in a heartbeat. Can't believe you found them for your 2008 CBR600RR. Congrats! I know you'll love em. Just wish I could find some too. Been thinking of getting an older CBR600RR, probably like yours, 2008 or so. Not saying 600's are slow by any means, but light and fun is where it's at these days. Why else would factories be focused on the mid range these days, right? Although, to me nothing beats a V4 sound, but parallel twins come close. Music to my ears. LOL Keep on keeping on brother.

OH!! I hadn't even thought to try using my steam cleaner to get off the chain gunk buildup. Good idea!

Great video. i like the controversial insite..and the missed instructions. As a enthusiast that has owned a zx14r you cannot be saying people are haters for scoffing a 600. If one rides solely to feel the pain of shoulders and elbows becoming unattached then a flickable sub 400 lb bike is not our bike. ty for another fun bike class HRR.

Not sure why I’m just now discovering your channel, but thank you!

8:44 I tough you were going to say: "It was at this moment I knew... I f ed up".

i always run into guys with big 1 liter ducatis or BMWs... and they always come up to me and say they learned on a CBR600rr and they miss the bike. im keeping mine for life too. either she, we or i go... lol.

Totally the way to go with a (-1) on the front sprocket leaving the rear alone for the street. These engines are stressed enough as it is and (+2) in the rear would really be taxing the engine. Awesome video as usual.

I always just cut completely through the old chain with an angle grinder. Saves a lot of time and it's trash anyway. And I recommend you keep an eye on those rear sprocket bolts. They always come loose on me eventually if I don't use blue loctite.

clip links are fine if installed correctly!!!!!!!! had tons of bikes quads dirt bikes three wheelers with clip style and never had a problem.

ive never had rust on any of my chains since using a Scottoiler. my rsv4 chain is still looks new after 25k miles. ill definitely be ordering one for my new mt10 with all the trips i plan to take next year.

I really need a pair of those 12 spoke wheels.. Like you said grind the chain rivet roughly about where you are using your chain tool in the video, it's much easier. I use a D.I.D. tool and it works phenomenally.

You said that its more fun with 600cc than with more powerful bike and I must say it's true. I had cbf600sa, cb650r before and now I've switched to 2022 cb500x. Only 50hp but inline 2 engine with instant torque just from leaving the clutch makes me more excited about motorcycling. Less fuel consumption, more comfortable, great sound even if it's 500cc, offroad capabilities opened my mind too. I've found that bike must be tried in real life by a rider, not by sponsored youtubers that can say only how bad it is. We moto guys forget to say what is good even with the worst bike. Cbr600rr was criticised in my country so much, because it's only 600cc. 1000cc guys now don't have money to ride or just are broken so much that they have not enough money to fix. 600cc sportbikes are the best sport bikes. Honda makes it extremely reliable and don't broke wallet that much like for example s1000rr. I watch You for long time and must say that You are real world moto guy, who really likes bikes 👍 i like it!

Great channel it would fabulous to see step by step how fix new and old bikes

I've changed in the past,on a gsxr,the chain with 520 and lasted only 10000km. I suggest to lube it more often in order to last longer

@HeroRR I always enjoy your videos. All information you give is straight up from no BS.

The video is awesome mate. This gives me the confidence to do this on my Bird. Just done the rear tire so will be good to do chain and sprockets next!. Your bike looks good with these wheels. Keep ‘‘em coming.

Good stuff man, this is my fav moto channel on yt

Great video bro, very consise and straight to the point, I love this format. Keep up the good work.

Wow, with the new Corvette and BMW I'm glad that your first love is finally getting some attention!

Enjoy your videos ! Im currently riding a 2006 Cbr1000rr with the same colors. Love the bike. Keep up the great work.

Hello there. I'm qualify my comments with many years with Bikes/ Motorbikes/ Motocycles...( whichever is your chosen vernacular ) both as rider, enthusiast and Mechanic/ Builder and Restorer. Not many go to such lengths to qualify their work as you did. Measuring the side chain width to determine and confirm correct side plate position is an absolute, but most don't do it; they then cannot understand why their bike feels strangely held back by a pinched chain link... Measuring the pin distortion is also correctly done. Full marks! The only thing i would've done that you didn't was to put a small pair of dots on the Gear linkage connector. That way you'll be sure to replace on the correct spline. I believe that this could be why your gear indicator reads incorrectly through misalignment of one spline in the shaft. Your bikes Revs are not the determining factor of gear nomenclature, rather leaver position. I applaud your work. Remember to go back after a hundred miles or so and check tension, alignment and torqued fasteners. Best regards, Eddie

Love when u do these videos man they are very informative

Follow every single of your videos man🙌👍

That's all i wanted to hear...which is your favorite. Glad the CBR600RR is still the fav :)

I have changed the chain & sprockets on my Gen6 VFR800 multiple times; I just use bolt cutters to remove the old chain. I have not had to change the chain on my CBR600RR yet but I will most likely have the shop do that since it's my Track Bike

Yeap! I have got GSX-R 1000 recently, but whenever I am on my zx6r ninja it's fun, agile, precise. Love it.

Awesome how to bro learning so much from you 💪💯

I just did a 520 Conversion on my 2012 CBR, I kept the stock gearing. I did weigh everything before I put it on and the main weight savings came from the chain. Saved about a pound overall.

Power and speed isn't always the best thing/top priority. I daily drive a FN2 Civic Type R and they're not known for power and speed, but it is plenty quick enough for the real world. Revving it out to 8000rpm, hitting VTEC is such a wonderful thing. CBR600RR is next 😁

I want to know more about that steam cleaner thing! Awesome video :)

Man I love Gen2 CBR600RR so much. I'm thinking about hitting up Facebook marketplace to pick up one of these babies.

0:36 ‘Link’ in the description . . .If you’ll pardon the pun.

I did the -1 +2 on mine, great around town and in the hills, but sits on 6500 to 7000rpm on the Highway at 60 to 70MPH.

Next time you should put a master link on not a river type chain connection because now if you need to take chain off you need to cut it again vs master link you can just remove

It actually does give you more available wheel torque to ground so you are increasing hp at the wheel at lower rpm’s

About time the 600 gets some love. Would’ve thought a 520 conversion would be one of the first mods done. I based my 600 build off of yours. I did a few things different and used some different brands but extremely similar. Need to get you some Bonamici rear sets with the red toe and shifter peg inserts! Also, a Driven Halo keyless gas cap would be a nice addition!

I was always under the impression that you want to leave the chain on and the transmission in neutral with your foot on the rear brake to remove your front sprocket drive nut. So you don't damage your trans in any way. At least that is the way I always do it.

damn bro, really good video. taking the extra time to show us every step takes a lot of patience while fixing a bike in the heat. this project would have gave me a headache, still worth it??

And all I can do is watch bike videos because up here in Norway we have had ONE DAY of decent riding weather this may. It was a good day of riding but still....

The writing on that front renthal doesn't always go on the outside like people will tell you. I've heard someone say renthal says that too. If you put the larger spacer side on the outside on 2008 600/750s it will be aligned incorrectly and give you problems soon. you can use a digital calliper and see how many mm the oem sprocket sit from the case & then you put the sprocket on whatever side is closest. on my 750 putting the writing on the outside would've resulted in it being 1.50mm out of alignment. whereas writing in was within 1 10th of a mm.

I just want to know why you might want to convert to 520. What reason did you have?

Love my 520 conversion on my 09 CBR600RR!! Makes a big difference for sure.

Missed this after the beamer vids !

Used the same tool on mine would recommend adjusting the tole cause it don’t wanna work well

the 600 is dope, shoulda done the 520 kitnon day 1 boi

I still have 525 chain but went down one in the front on a 2006 gsxr 750 and it made a noticeable diffrence for sure. Ill take the acceleration over top speed never gonna go 165mph. Never had an issue with the gear indicator though.

Does it change the performance of the bike in any way?

Hey buddy! What a good work firstly! I want to ask you if you had any issue with the wheels, If i don't get wrong these wheels come from a CB650R from 2020? (Sorry, me listening is so bad...) And i'ts plug and play or you need to do some major modifications?¿

Exactly the -1 front or +2 on rear is like loosing top gear . Great acceleration until that point. Hwy riding is a higher rev range & bit annoying

Best bike ever!!

I noticed tht about ur gear box too I was like arnt u in 6 and its still saying 5

I went down 1 on my front as well on my 2009 cbr600rr

Every bike has a difference with the speedo!

YES! All cars are trying to kill you 16:35 ! haha I agree!

If I may ask where did you buy the red fairing Kit for your CBR 600rr? I recall you having it orange. I have a red oem 08 want to replace fairings . Appreciate all your work 🙏🏻

Why did you cut the chain? I did the same thing you did and now mine is too short. I also went with the same chain kit

I love my rc51..but my zx6r is more fun to ride..be safe out there brother

"go nice and slow" *pulls out electric ratchet*

You ever gonna sell this beauty

Man that looks killer,do you think these rims would fit on a 2006 cbr600rr?..been wanting to do this forever now

The new wheel looks so light weight

Much better wheels

Hi could you please make a video on people riding without license and insurance? The dangers of it and stupid that is?

Nice Job , but since you have the angle grinder out just cut the chain in half

I love my 125cc ❤️

So stock 2020 cbr 600rr rims bolt directly up to the 2008 gen motorcycle? Looking to get new rims for my 2010.

felt your pain the moments you tortured yourself to undo bolts to parts no longer held down by their mounting points, instead of breaking them loose first with the help of the other fixed fastenings

Hero yoshi rs5 on cbr 600rr sound. Best or leo vice sbk. Or mivv souno or toce or two bro

Anybody fast enough to say a 600 is slow knows well enough to not say that. Or they're the kind of person who should just mount a car tire on the rear since they'll never tip it in.

Good Day sir may I ask what mirrors do youhave on your bike . Eg 2009 cbr1000 .

I want to race HeroRR so damn bad 😎 (friendly race) we have the exact same bike except mine is orange and black.

Are those mirrors from 1KRR? Do you have an installation video?

Aye Mate,any chance you could tell me the quadlock system you've got on this bike,want one but unsure what's the best one for my bike(same bike) thanks Bra

Dude, 600s are beast. I may or may not even upgrade to a 1k. I have an 05 f4i now and I'll either get a r6 or zx6r. I can use more of the full power of the 600 vs a 1k. #600gang

Nice work Hero!! The new wheels look dope! Question though. Why not use ur impact to remove the spocket from the rear wheel? 😁 additionally, at 16:28 nice recovery brother! Cool and collective! 😎 Thanks for all the info

Hi, can I ask from where you got those 2013+ rims on the bike? its an must have upgrade! for weight and looks....Need that for the bike as well....Thanks in advance!

Why did you go with the 520 conversion vs the oem 525 chain and sprockets?

Hows your wheel feels like when you ride? Im thingking of upgrading the wheels on my stock 2016 R6.

How much teeth u go on the rear sprocket

Heaviness > weight

Do you have the link to the steam cleaner?

you need to remove another link or two.. new chain is pretty close to the replace chain area.. center of axle should be well within the "new" area.. just fyi..

Why make your Speedo accurate? It will only be accurate once then as tyres wear, grow with speed and shrink with lean the speedo is off… you need your speedo to under read so you never get done for speeding while doing what you thought was the limit. It’s why it’s law for speedos to under read by 5-10%.

I cant find any wheels like that for an 06 😔

What tire do you recommend for the front? I recently purchased one a few months back for my 09' cbr600rr and once I get to a certain speed, my handle bars start to shake/wobble.

I have an older r6 I bought crashed and cheap because it what I could afford to get riding. Id love to get a cbr but its just not in the cards

What chain breaker is that?

There's no link to the chain tool..

Anyone ever had issues with the valve seal blowing repeatedly on their or a CBR600RR?

I have the same bike and run -1,+1(15/43). I have always loved it. I just can't go past 150 mph. Anyone know if this is normal?

So do the 2013+ wheels just bolt straight up to a 07-12?? Might make the same mod to my 07 cbr

What no lightweight 520 chain

No threadlock?
