The slag of the chain 25-35mm should be measured with the bike on the side stand only - it is written on the label on the swingarm near the axel nut. If the rear wheel is like in the film in the air, the chain will be pretty too tight. I've got the same bike - 2011 Versys 650. Apart this issue great video.
My honest opinion, I would not spend the money doing it unless if you already had to change the chains and a sprocket. It’s maybe 200rpm lower on the highway compared to before. Really no significant difference there. And 1st gear is slightly taller now which really doesn’t impact me that much. That’s my honest opinion haha
@OlisGarage thanks Olis. I've noticed there is a linear Speedometer error which will likely be corrected by increasing the front sprocket by 1 tooth. But I've read in some Versys forums that it does not leave much clearance in that area and would be concerned if things got too tight there.
Probably. And you can always put a block of wood through the spoke of the rear tire. Are you sure you’re at the full strength setting with a charged battery? That can make a huge difference
@@Koolnirvanaguy glad to hear it worked!! That impact is great. But half dead batteries and multiple connections (from 1/2 inch to 1 inch adapters, etc) really weaken it. I watched a video where the impact didn’t perform at full power with the smaller batteries. One needed the 5 or 8 amp batteries to get full power. Don’t completely quote me on that, but the conclusion was definitely full break loose torque doesn’t get achieved unless if you have the huge battery

Great video, very straightforward! Might be doing this to my 09 Versys soon!
Super helpful and easy to follow - going to save me $500
Good video. Very clear. Thanks!
Great video! Thanks for sharing!
really good, thanks. Is there a washer on the right (brake) side? Or is the only part that goes there the tension measuring block?
Great video! Do you need to use the rear break also to torque the engine sprocket?
Nice job
Would be nice to know how it performed with the rear sprocket change from stock 46T to 44T?

Good clear video. Just curious on your thoughts about going with the 44 tooth sprocket?
Trying the take the nut off of my versys 650 with the same impact tool and no luck!! Do you think the breaker bar might have loosen the nut.

Sure enough. I had half a battery or what I thought was half a battery. It turns out it was 1/4 left.

Wow all that amount of grease will just colect junk and dirt
18:05 My friend, you put the right one 1.25 marks further than the left one 🫣
