Very clear, simple video; appreciate it!

That rear view at 02:10 . You tyre looks a little squared off. You are going to notice a huge difference when you change that rear tyre.

Not a bad video,very useful.

Detailed review! Thank you

Thanks - excellent video, especially for people like me who know diddly squat about bike maintenance. I dont know if I should have, but I re-used the cotter pin without too much trouble.

0:55 “That’s what she said...” Godammit that was fucking funny.

Thats what she said .... lols ... thank you for your video ... getting my 650 2020 in 2-3 days. this video will definitely help

Thank you sir. Bad ass stand. ✌️

Nice

Can you tell about your spool size and thread size?

Thank you for the video, worked perfectly!

Have some cotter pins on hand; you will have to replace one on the castle-nut side (left side)

I’m pretty sure the manual said 1 to 1.4 inches (or 25 to 35mm) not 1 to 1 1/4 when you zoomed in on it at 1:21. You’re fine cause 35mm is really 1 3/8 so you’re just a little conservative but be careful those pesky decimal points don’t bite you somewhere it actually hurts

I see those exhaust burns on your arm. Lol been there. Let her cool down dawg

Does the manual actually say to have the wheel hanging off the ground or sitting on the ground and does it matter how much weight (fat ass) is actually riding the bike?

When using the torque wrench, do you do it on both nuts? I have a versys 650, which looks to have the same setup, but the manual only mentions tightening the left side with a torque wrench, opposite of what you did.

thanks! good video. which exhaust do you have on the bike

Bro you don't pull the chain down to get the accurate slack the slack is the measurement of how much the chain moves up and down so your 1 1/4" should be total slack off the chain when you pull down and up on it.

The basics are here but you measured the chain slack incorrectly. You pull down with a few pounds of force with one finger and thats your zero then push up with one finger the same amount of force you pulled down with, take the measurement and thats your total slack measurement. One should ALWAYS use an alignment tool whenever you fiddle with your rear axle.. My Versys 650 is off almost 1/2 a factory alignment notch left to right when using my laser alignment tool. Double check your chain tension/slack after alignment because if you moved the right alignment block enough your tension has also changed... Additionally if you really want to keep your rear wheel in place put a ratchet starp throught the rim an connect it to a stationary section of the bike then torque the castellated nut to 80 lb/ft. If the cotter pin holes do not line up then TIGHTEN to the closest hole DO NOT LOOSEN. A new cotter pin should always be used too but if all you have is the old one and its still sound then go ahead and use it with the intention of popping in to your locals parts store to buy a replacement.

I have the same Pittsburgh stand, but my bike didn't come with whatever you have to put the jack on. I had to use a couple random bolts lol. What are these called and where can i get them haha? Yours are red

Hello Roach Rider, and thank you for the video. May i ask you, how often do you adjust your chain. I know you should measure the slack but from your experience, how often do you need to adjust it ? For me, i don't have a garage, so the only option is to do it every oil change, which is 6000 km.

Do you have to take the cotter pin out for this or are you only loosening the bolt on the right side

So the cotter pin size is 5/32 in x 1 3/8 in but, where do I find them in stores?

hey, where did you get the rear stand? thanks

So you never removed the left side axle bolt?

Is the torque wrench a must??

You’re supposed to measure when pulling down on the chain and then lifting up…

hello, neumático is 160 or 180? Thanks

I have a 2013. does anyone know how many chain links they have?

What did he say at 5:45

You’re pushing up so hard on the bottom chain that the top side of the chain is also moving up, not accurate. Only push to see the travel without having the top of the chain also move 👍🏻

this is an old video, but the fact that you measured the slack wrong initially by not pushing it down and measuring the high and the low together makes this a not so good video

U just had to use the Lords Name in vain didnt.. everything was 2 thumbs til that! Smh I pray God has Mercy on your soul. 🙏🙏🙏
