How to replace chain and sprockets Honda cbr500r, cb500f, and cb500x with tool sizes and torque specs.
NOTE: over the years I've found that regular spray bottles don't last when using Kerosene. I recommend using a chemical resistant spray bottle. I got one from Walmart for about $11 and it's been holding up for at least a couple years now.

Hey thanks for the clear vids! So with the bigger sprocket you should have ordered a 111 link chain plus the master or is the 112 correct plus the master? Thanks man!
@EndlessMoneyPits
@EndlessMoneyPits Жыл бұрын
112 is the stock chain size. The blue chain I installed with a bigger rear sprocket should have been 114 links including the master link, but they sent me 114 links plus a master link which is why it came out too long.

The blue chain I installed with a bigger rear sprocket should have been 114 links including the master link, but they sent me 114 links plus a master link which is why it came out too long. You should be able to cut a link off without connecting the chain, just lay the chain across the rear sprocket to hold it while you cut.
