GOLD Chain For Our BMW M1000RR! | M1000RR Series Part 12
Рет қаралды 10,583
Күн бұрынAt COTA this past year for MotoGP, we were able to meet many people and even got a chance to take a tour of teams pit!
And we learned one very interesting thing. MotoGP teams throw out their chains after every race. Their chains are not used for more than 1 race length. But the reasoning is the interesting part. Their engineers mentioned how big of a difference a brand new chain makes to the power delivery.
With that knowledge, we are upgrading our chain to one of the best chains available right now, and doing the full 520 conversion to have our entire setup as optimized as possible.
Why do we do this? Weight savings! We save over 2 pounds of rotating mass with this setup. 2 pounds of weight savings on the very parts that transfer all the horsepower from the engine to the wheels, so here is where the weight savings matter.
Also, the tensile strength of these chains are actually higher than the OEM chains.
And while we're at it, we add the Alpha Racing quickshifter, a carbon fiber kickstand and carbon fiber electronics cover!
The carbon fiber pieces give us some weight savings, but really they're more for the looks. However, the Alpha Racing quickshifter does tout to give faster and smoother shifts due to its cell based tech. And its an upgrade you can feel, because with the Alpha racing quickshifter, the slight spongy feel from the OEM shifter is gone.

A very well know dyno guy here in SoCal once told me that the difference between a dirty chain and a clean one can be upwards of 5-6 rwhp. He tested this out on his dyno, but in the mid-2000's. Never forgot that. Never mind the difference between a dirty stock 525 to a clean 520! That's an even bigger difference.

Hi Mani, here is how to tight/lose the front sprocket without a tool nor engaging a gear. With the chain on, get on the bike to put load on the rear wheel and push the rear brake. This should be enough as long as the nut hasn’t been over-tighten with an impact tool.
@Motomillion Жыл бұрын
And the second person should put the camera down to loosen the sprocket nut? :)
@alvaromerin8025 Жыл бұрын
One person is enough, try it and you’ll see ;). By the way, never use impact tools neither to lose or tighten the sprocket with a gear on, it can damage the gear.

Can not run chain adjusters on the M1000RR, since it has the quick change setup. If not, we would have done the TWM ones.

I'm digging that new chain/sprockets! Can't wait to see those new wheels and how they are going to look on this new 23 M1K! That Alpha sprocket tool is worth its weight in gold considering you are going to pay a shop minimum $110hr to roll your bike on their lift! The only downside is keeping your buddies out of your tools and making sure they pay contributions to the beer fridge😜

Hey Mani, love the channel and was wondering how to get a hold of those MotoMillion front mudguard stickers that you used on your R1M build. I'm starting my own build on my '16 R1M and I love the way your logo sets off the carbon fiber. Thanks.
@Motomillion Жыл бұрын
Do you mean the red square stickers? If so, we have plenty of them! We usually include them in orders. But we're working on having a merch section where you guys can order stickers, sticker packs, and some clothing. It'll be ready soon. But if you ever place an order with us, DM us on Instagram or email us and ask for the stickers so that we can remember to throw them in your order :)

Thank you Mani for this kind of very informative videos. I have a question though, somebody said that when the chain is new and sticky like that it needs to be washed with kerosene. Is that theory got any logic?
@Motomillion Жыл бұрын
The sticky chain was the stock chain that was on there. The DID chain was just greasy and not sticky. I am not sure about kerosene and what it would do to the o rings.

Is there a similar front sprocket tool for the Panigale SP2 or is it not necessary? The rear-wheel change setup on the M is pretty cool.
@Motomillion 11 ай бұрын
Unfortunately there is not anything available for the Panigale V4, the lack of traditional frame is one of the reasons.

Did you watch our video? The chain is lighter, and has higher tensile strength. Optimizing the chain & sprocket really helps in the transfer of power from the engine to the wheel.
