Thanks Adrian these videos are so helpful and are allowing me to maintain my bike with confidence 👍

I like the tips at the end about measuring the adjustment bolts for alignment and then checking to make sure the sprocket teeth are roughly in the middle of the chain links - Simple but good checks. Cheers!

My 2013 NC700X is due for new sprockets and chain. Great timing and a great video. Thanks much!

Thank you mate this is a great help for someone without a mechanics shop worth of tools!

Good vlog i especially love the clock....normally i use the worn sprocket for a grate in my fire....re-use when ever possible i say😁

One more time... fantastic job,nice filming and full of details

Love Hondas easy and logical to work on. Thanks for this, this is my next bike for sure

Bob Ross of Motorcycles. Thank you for sharing!

You're a legend and have saved me so much time and money:-)

Another great vid Adrian. You are full of great ideas, like the double nut clamping tool, gotta make myself one of those.

Thank you for making this video. Great art at the end :)

Excellent, Great tip on your clever nut'n clamp technique to prevent traumatizing the clip. Thanks.

Unfortunately I'd class an angle grinder as a special tool. Thankfully my neighbor has one. Thanks a lot for the help you've made the whole process way easier

Your videos have helped me maintain my bike and have saved me a ton of money! I feel like I should send you a check for tutorial services lol! Anyway thanks for posting.

Thx for charing your knowledge with us. Greetings from Germany

Nice to seem someone using those chain joiners. Although you have got me wondering what I’ll do given I have a DCT so can’t easily leave it on gear 😉👍🏻. Thanks for another really helpful video.

great video man 👍🏻👍🏻 you should do more tutorials, like chain maintainance or chain cleaning. you're good at it. Thank you!!

👏👏👏 Thanks buddy - Nice & simple to give us confidence !!! 😀

the fact that this guys ...says, this is how I do it... works, there is always different opinion, this guy, is realistic, and practical, without getting to anal, tackling your own maintenance will help you understand the workings of the bike

The most difficult part is the master link clamping... Minus the pure brute force or a breaker bar to bust 190ft/lbs behind the front sprocket. Finding something small enough to compress it is sooooooo difficult for my noobie biker self; however, your intuitive "use the other broken master link" makes me feel like a bafoon. You're amazing and thank you so much for that little, seemingly commonsensical, bit of information.

A nice and easy way to change the sprockets and chain

Great vid and I like the clock RSM8

I hope I manage to get that mileage out of my chain ! It would be more than I have ever managed before except for an MZ ETZ 250 with its lovely chain enclosure. When I have to do this job on my NC I will be cursing Mr Honda and sticking pins in a voodoo doll for not fitting a shaft drive. Thanks for another enjoyable video.

Ahhh ... german torque settings ..."Good-N-Tight". Good video... love the clock!

Ďakujem veľmi pekne, máte super videa.

Dude, your the best.

Great Vid Adrian. There isn't much I can't do to my bike by looking up your channel LOL. :-) I need to do a small job and take my front sprocket cover off and clean out the muck. Never done it so probably should - it'll be full of crap after all those dirt roads. Rsm8.

Love it. Thank you. Awesome clock! 😁

Bloody good no nonsense video, thankyou 😉

Very clear video on this procedure from an old hand at it. Love the re-purposing of the chain and sprocket! I'm seriously considering the NC750X as a replacement for my CB500X. Just a bit worried about the small tank.

Nut chain tool , perfect~ Thanks for sharing

Love your videos; thank you so much. Also, if you buy the chain (I have the same one) online you can choose the number of links and not have to cut down the chain. Thx again!

Thanks a lot! Great and helpful videos! I would like to know which is the diameter of the tools that you use. Thanks again!

Good man! You took my advice. Ha ha great vid

Great video!

Buen video.muy útil. Gracias. Saludos

Nice video I have the same bike, however the factory 17 / 43 sprocket setting was way to long for me. When it was time to change the chain and sprockets I chose to replace it with a 16 / 46 set up. It transforms the already torky bike to a new level. Yes you loose a bit of theoretical top end speed ( with the riding position really it is theoretical) but it certainly gives you way more usable power for overtaking. However be aware that it is advisable to recalibrate your speedometer via a Speedohealer since it won't display the right velocity otherwise. For me it was worth the effort. Just my two cents. Safe rides 👍🏍

Nice video 👍🏻 Thanks

Loved this it really helped. With the clip link, some times the clip has a flat side and a rounded side almost like a “D” do you prefer to put it a certain Way ?

Bloody good show sir...

Cool clock, Thanks

Thank you for this good video! I just want to ask how many links needs the chain on a NC750X manual version?. The chain new has 120 links. I think they must be 112 or 114..?

As always, another high quality instructional video from Down Under Video Productions. :) Good Day Adrian, any recommendations for cleaning an O-ring Chain? I tend to favor dry-lub lubricants, but recently noticed that my chain is kinking-up, which I suspect is from fine dirt buildup close to the rings. My chain only has 12,000 miles (factory chain) so I doubt it's time for replacement. Thanks for your help!

good job big like

I love your video’s I have a ctx pretty much same as the nc 750 I did all my work following you I’m going to get new tires and I need chain and sprocket I was gonna attack it myself I have a jack and 2 jack stands my question is I’m nervous with putting the new chain on i never done it before how do I get the old chain off and I’m buying an oem chain from Honda so it should be exactly the same size??

Good vid. How can you manange to keep your bike so spanking shiny and clean?!? BTW, what pedals are those? Do they make a difference? Thanks!

May we use this only chain in pulser 180 cc from Indian bike??

Hello man. I have being watching your videos for some time now, very interesting stuff. Since you do your own maintenance and seems to know about mechanics (much more than I do kkk), let me ask you a question. I am looking to improve the petrol savings by changing the front sprocket to up one tooth, do you think this will help at 80 Mph? Also looking to shave some Kilograms, so I am thinking on changing the battery, a light rear sprocket and muffler. What more can I do? Thank you for your time and sorry for the bad English, it is not my first language.

Did it take you anything special to get the nut off the forward sprocket? Was just putting it in gear enough resistance to use a breaker bar to get it off? Debating on buying an impact wrench for an upcoming clutch replacement and am wondering if I would need to use it for this too. Thanks!

I prefer the rivet link myself, also using no special tools i hold a club hammer behind the new rivet link, and burr down the new rivet link pins with a small ball pane hammer. . U should save the old clip link, cable tie it somewhere for emergencies. .,

You are my new idol! Thanks for the videos, I’m hoping to get a 2016 this week. Just a question, did I watch you adjust the chain on the centre stand? Im given to understand from the handbook it should be done on the side stand. 30-35mm. Is there a measurement if the bike is on the centre stand? (Mine has one). Not trying to be a smart arse, just curious.

Hello Great video. But I want to ask you what are the measures of the Tourances you mounted. It's 130/80/17 and 150/70/17 and how are you with these? Thank you very much

Nice video

Question for Adrian and other viewers: What are your thoughts on removing the waxy packing grease from new d.i.d chains with kerosene before install, as mentioned in some forums? (chain-change virgin here).

Could someone tell how many screws the chain guard has on the right side? It has two on the left, but I think there's a hole on the right as well. And I'm trying to figure out if the right one got lost on my bike, because chain guard started making noise

I thought you said in your video about "time to change" (leading us to think you were getting rid of the bike) that the chain was trash; that the links froze. You didn't get rid of it until now? Explain, please. I hesitate to buy one knowing one of the first things to do is get the chain replaced. Thanks!

Thanks for your video....please tell me after how many Khms do I have to change them (15000 or 25000) ?

Very good , thx

Thanks for posting, awesome. It is real that this bike consume 3,5 L in 100 Km? I have a piaggio xevo 250 and the consumation in the city is 4L in 100 Km. Anyways, thanks for sharing and 👊👍😃

Gday mate ive been gathering bits and pieces together for the arrival of the 500 in two weeks, i have bought new sprockts but hopefuly wont have to use them yet as the bike has only done 5300km . i was looking at a video on chain replacement and they were using a chain riveter i inherited a chain breaker from my father which has served well on many chains , the price for a breaker riveter a good one is around 200.00 yes you can buy a cheap chinese import but when you read the reviews why would you most break after the first use so when you buy a chain do you get a connector clip/lnk with the chain or is that an extra i see mx store do sell them seperate but it would be nice if they included it for us old boys who dont have these fancy tools .

Hi there! Absolutely love your videos, they've been a HUGE help to me and my steel horse. However, you mentioned your sprockets have done 44K KM's, but what about your chain? Do you replace the chain, without replacing the sprockets (if they're in good shape) or do you always replace both at the same time?

And again.. This is my next job. Lol. You know.. I swear you do. Outta curiosity, did you find any play in your cush drive at all? Getting a wee bit worried as mine has a bit of play. Let me know how the clip retained chain goes, the bike shop wouldnt replace the oem chain on mine without riveting a new one on.... Due to "safety" in case the split link fails during riding or some tosh. Thx for the vid, appreciated!

Adrian, quick question do you get your parts online, if so from where? Thanks

10/10

is size 520 112 links por nc750x no dct ??? or 114 links.

Adrian. Thanks Again for this video I was able to replace my chain and sprockets DID VX3. my question was: What Torque Specs are required for Front Sprocket Bolt: Rear Sprocket Bolt: I read on forums that the front is 40 FT lbs and the 5 rear sprocket bolts are 80 FT lbs... (which just seems too damn high) How can that sprocket nut need more torque than Rear axle nut (72 FT LBS) i currently sent the rear sprocket bolts at 50 FT Lbs. Please advise:-)

wholesome!

Hi Adrian, can you share the references for the front and back sprocket. The chain I can see its DID 520VX2 120 links. Can you share the rest?

Hi I have NC 700s model. I will soon change myself the chain but noway for closing it as u with a quick link...are u not afraid ? Except that I enjoyed your videos regards

Nice video. Extremely dangerous tool use at 3:02 though! What if the grinder slipped off the chain towards your hand? Please, use a vice or clamp to hold the work piece when using grinding wheels...

hey! thx for the vid. could you share the footrest name you have got?

Why not put the clip link plate on the wheel side so you don't see it?

2:50 Why new chain have to be shortened? if its new chain for the model bike why you have to do some shortening? thank you

Olá não sei aí onde mora mas essa trava de segurança da corrente não segura nada,aqui no Brasil as correntes tanto nacionais como importadas vem com o modo para vc arrebitar.

I have to say, every time someone changes the sprockets I can't tell much difference between the old and new one. I wonder if people are changing chains way to early. Also if the chain is slacking on the sprocket that might only mean you need to adjust your chain and not change the sprocket. Anyways, thanks for video.

What footpegs and extenders is that? A link?

hi my friend do you know the Torque for rear tire nuts

👏👏👏👏👏

If you are just replacing the chain and rear sprocket there is no need to loosen the front sprocket right?

Like!!!

wouldnt this be far far easier with a chain tool?

GJ

How long does it last the original one? Anyone?

Has anybody done a 525 conversion? Got any kit suggestions?

Is a grinder not considered a special tool?

We seem brainwashed into using rivet links , horseshoe job for me next time , correct way round of course 😀

Poor old chain 😲

위험하네요

Using a clip on bikes with more then 125ccm is total bullshit. Never seen changing a cain in a more bungling way.
