Just tickling the throttle turns you into a monster, it’s wonderful 😇

Sounds like you had a dodgy set or the outer seals failed prematurely, oem should last longer than that🤔. On the plus side the new sealed bearings are holding up well, what make are they?

Nope . . .

. . . and in my opinion, which isn’t biased at all😇, they were right to be there🫡, coz my bike IS gorgeous 👌 😂

@@dvsfreek can’t believe you watched it 🥱 AND commented on it 🥱. It does make a difference. . . just because you don’t realise it does doesn’t mean it doesn’t 🥱. 🤣😂

Rykas?...🤔

⁠rykers, thats boxhill innit.

​@@BatFastard01- I believe so bud, yes👍

The cafe featured in this video I believe is called Whiteways Cafe in Bury Hill. The one people are referring to in Boxhill near Dorking is Rykas as far as I know.

Yep, it’s Whiteways cafe at Bury Hill. It’s not a bad little stop if you like bikers🤢.

I may well do that, its been a while since I’ve visited. Thanks for the heads up on the re-vamp 👌

@@raywalsh5822 . . . and you’ve had no problems 🤷‍♂️. I’m definitely getting more convinced it doesn’t really matter👌

At least I achieved peace of mind by changing good bearings for new bearings 😂🤣

Be careful with cheap and cheerful. . . especially with the front brakes🫡

Perhaps I’ll have a look for an adjuster block that ‘captures’ the axle head🤷‍♂️ You’re definitely right about the colour, absolutely stunning 👌

@@markstaley5922 I tend to agree with your diagnosis 👌🤣

@@bikerantics5001 the bearing puller are good but it’s not worth the outlay for changing your bearings every five years your a funny fella to watch great video 👍

Try that🤷‍♂️

​@@bikerantics5001cheers mate much appreciated

I think you’re right👌

Sound theory, could be just that🤷‍♂️, thanks👍

I don’t think that’s true🤷‍♂️. If the rotational force is causing an effect wouldn’t it be due to axle movement🤔. If you have axle movement your bearings would need to be seized to the axle for it to rotate. If this were the case having the nut sprocket side would tighten the nut, wouldn’t it🤔🤷‍♂️

@@bikerantics5001 I'll try and explain simpler. On most motorcycles, the chain drive is located on the left side of the bike. The chain transmits power from the engine's front sprocket to the rear sprocket, causing the rear wheel to rotate. This power transmission creates a set of forces: Chain Tension and Torque: When the motorcycle accelerates, the engine applies torque to the front sprocket, which is transferred via the chain to the rear sprocket. This torque creates a pulling force (tension) on the top part of the chain as it pulls the rear wheel forward, causing it to rotate. Resulting Rotational Forces: As the rear wheel rotates under the influence of this torque, a reaction force is generated in the opposite direction of the wheel's rotation. This is due to the principle of equal and opposite reactions as described by Newton's Third Law. If the spindle nut were placed on the left side (same side as the chain drive), the rotational forces and the tension in the chain could potentially cause the nut to loosen over time. Here's why: Rotational Direction: The rear wheel rotates clockwise when viewed from the right side of the motorcycle (assuming forward motion). This clockwise rotation means that if the spindle nut is on the left side, the rotational force could apply a counterclockwise (loosening) force on the nut due to the direct interaction between the forces of rotation and the threading direction of most nuts (which are usually right-hand threaded). Chain Tension Influence: Chain tension also plays a role. As the chain pulls on the rear sprocket during acceleration, it can induce a slight twisting force on the axle. This twist can exert additional loosening pressure on the spindle nut if it is on the left side, aligning with the direction that would loosen a standard right-hand thread nut. By fitting the spindle nut on the right-hand side of the motorcycle (opposite the chain drive), the rotational forces act in a way that helps secure the nut rather than loosen it: Securing Effect: The rear wheel's clockwise rotation (when viewed from the right) would exert a clockwise force on a right-side nut. Since most spindle nuts use right-hand threads (tightening clockwise), this force works in favor of keeping the nut tight. Mitigating Loosening Forces: With the nut on the right, the potential loosening forces generated by chain tension and rotational dynamics are significantly reduced. The force applied to the nut now acts in the same direction as tightening, thus enhancing the nut's security. I hope this has cleared it up for ya..

@@kevinansell9341 the forces you’re describing would need to be transferred by the axle to the nut, for this to happen there would need to be something wrong with your bearings🙄

@@bikerantics5001 You either didn't read my last or didn't understand Torque and resulting counter rotational forces generated, I think your hung up on Wheel Bearings seizing before counter rotational forces can act on the Nut..Nope nowt to do with seized bearings, I've dumbed it down as best I can in the above, Gogle Newtons 3rd Law.

Okay, lets try one more time🙄. You’re not actually describing how the rotational force of the wheel transfer to the nut🤷‍♂️. I could state, quite rightly, that the moon effects the tides but without details of how the process works it’s a fairly empty statement. The same as all your texts, which read more like diatribes🤔, there’s a lot of words but none describe how the rotational forces directly transfer to the nut🤷‍♂️. Please don’t try using Newtons third Law again 🥱. In this application the law is referencing the tyres force on the ground and the ground exerting an equal and opposite force back at the tyre. Please do your research before answering and give a full explanation not just empty paragraphs 🥱🫡.

Yeah I’ve had no problems having my nuts in the wrong place🙃 I’ve never tried tensioning the chain while the bikes on its side stand, just struck me as making the job unnecessarily awkward🤷‍♂️ I dunno whether that’s bravery or stupidity with the bearings, but if it works I can’t knock it🫡

@@bikerantics5001 in fairness I got that from an old mechanic down my end, who when I had my learning bike checked them and replaced just one on the front wheel. Miss that dude I started doing my own maintenance when he died.

@@BLG80 Same reason I do my own maintenance, you certainly don’t get that sort of customer service these days🤷‍♂️ The time, effort and money to take your bike to a mechanic, lose it for a day maybe two, to do basic maintenance just isn’t worth it. I’d much rather fit it in to my own schedule 👌

@@agaryord8301 when you say the ignition won’t come on do you mean you’ve got no electrics at all🤷‍♂️ nothing is lighting up🤷‍♂️

@bikerantics5001 nothing at all the clock is on the display but nothing wondered where fusebox is

@@agaryord8301 you’re positive the battery is okay? Do the lights come on? Indicators work? Any clicking anywhere? Does the fuel pump prime? Does the clock dim when you turn the key in the ignition?

@@agaryord8301 I believe the fuse box is under the left hand plastic, between the tank and the fairing.

@@mickusable me neither 🫡

@@heatz711 do you reckon putting the axle the other way could stop the mysterious (🤣) chain tightening scenario when you tighten the axle nut🤔

@@bikerantics5001 no that's due to swingarm flex lots of bikes do that just gota account for it

@heatz711 I thought it was down to the axle having different diameters and when you tighten the axle nut it pulls the threaded portion through and when the unthreaded thicker part of the axle is pulled through it tightens the chain😮‍💨🤷‍♂️

@@bikerantics5001 it could be but ive always put it down to the flex worth swooping it over just to check it out

I don’t think your swingarm should flex when adjusting the chain. I don’t think it should flex or your cornering stability would be compromised, especially at higher speeds🤷‍♂️

@@blackdotkiller1 but the bible says to put my bike on a paddock stand🫡. If you lift the bike from the swingarm it takes all the weight off the suspension giving a false reading of slackness . . . doesn’t it🤔. And bollocks to doing it on the side stand, especially with my axle going the wrong way😂🤪

You just answered your own question. You've taken the suspension out of the equation, tightened up the chain, and then you take it off the paddock stand now. The suspension is put back into the equation when the bike is back on the floor the chain is under more tension 🤦‍♂️

@@blackdotkiller1 but it’s the same weight and suspension movement whether it’s on the floor or paddock stand🤷‍♂️. All of the weight is still supported by the swingarm pin/ bolt and the suspension linkage in both scenarios. So weird the bible changes method depending on bike year🙃. If you lift it by the swingarm pivot then the suspension will sag, probably causing a difference in tension, wouldn’t it🤔

The whole weight of the bike is being lifted at one spot compressing the suspension however small it is then you fit the chain place the bike back on the floor now the spot that was taking the whole weight of the bike is no longer compressing so it tries to go back to its original place but can't because you have tightened your chain so if you drive it over a big pot hole your suspension will stop at the point at which you have tightened your chain and at that point your chain will stretch because the suspension can't go any further

@@blackdotkiller1 yep, but the compression shouldn’t be any different whether the bike is supported through the wheel axle or a paddock stand. The weight above the swingarm pivot point doesn’t change. The distance between the swingarm and the subframe hasn’t changed so the effect on the suspension is the same. I suppose in the end so long as the tension/ slack is where it needs to be the science really doesn’t matter🫡🤣

Absolutely 👌

@@bikerantics5001 I plan on installing crash bars. You should look into that if that interests you as well. It's what those stunt riders have when they toss their bikes around. I want all around protection for my second gen hayabusa. I don't lean over and I mostly go in a straight line lol

@seahawkgreenblue6085 I think crash bars would ruin the beautiful looks of the Busa, but I totally understand you wanting full protection. Giving the Busa full throttle and charging down a road at full speed is excellent but the twisties is where the real fun is🫡.
