  • changed the stock front sprocket(16T) to a Driven 17 Tooth. in this video i open and install a after market front sprocket without cutting or taking off the chain. i did not buy a speedo healer yet! stock % that the bike is off is -5.2. with me going 1 up in the front and keeping the rear stock. It puts the % out after the change to +0.7 so id did not see the need for one right now. I will buy one at some point. my next video will have a test ride before and after the change. i hope this video was helpful!

    Hey Homes, your chain was tighter than tight...are you trying to use it as a guitar string ? Your output shaft bearing, cases, shaft and swing arm bearings will not last for shit if you keep that up. Next time do your homework more thoroughly. . . after all, you're trying to teach others, may as well do it the right way.😳
    Have a good day. 👍

      JIGA BACHI street bikes need about 1.2 to 1.6 inch of slack I hit the chain down one way not both meaning you seen it move half of its slack. But I will be waiting for everything to go bad.

    when you set the left and right chain tensioner you dont go by the hash mark on the swing arm. you should adjust the left and right tension bolt according to sprocket alignment . the sprocket tooth should sit in the middle of the chain with even gap left and right. what you do is have the bike on the stand. roughly set the tension by the hash mark then spin the wheel and see where the sprocket rides in between the chain links. then adjust either bolt so the teeth rides in the middle . keep spinning the wheel til you get it right and check chain tension thru out as the sprocket might become ovaled from wear . there be tight spots and loose spots so find the tightest spot and adjust it to factory spec then you wont wear out your components prematurely .

      It is too tight but in his defense the manual calls for like 2-5 mm. Crazy tight but Yamaha won’t admit their mistake. Same with the rear axle bolt, it calls for 108ft lbs which is why a lot of us have aftermarket adjusters, we’ve already stripped the factory axle block due to too much torque

      @@RapidRedRider If 108 is too much how much is the 'correct' torque? I'm about to do the first chain and sprocket change on my fz09

    • @RapidRedRider

      @@koopspook the general consensus (fz09 forum) is 80 pound feet. There are quite a few torque specs in the manual that are way too high. I know we should trust the engineers but they’re not the ones out here replacing stripped and broken parts. The oil drain plug calls for 31lbs and the amount of stripped oil pans is astounding so about 25lbs is what has been determined to be safe. If it makes you feel better you can always use safety wire but I don’t believe it’s necessary. I started using 80 lbs after i stripped my own axel block and swapped for a set of Gilles adjusters, which i highly recommend and I’ve never had the nut back off.

  • @AWD_DSM_FTW
    @AWD_DSM_FTW 7 років тому +2

    Everyone commenting about the chain tension should look up Yamaha's chain slack spec. It's way tighter than most street bikes, 0.2-0.59 inches.... which is TIGHT. I run around 18-19mm measured on the sidestand. Found this vid to see how people were running the countershaft sprocket.
    It's bad practice to replace a sprocket or sprockets without the chain. Also looks like you got a 520 pitch sprocket while the bike is 525 stock.

      MCON89 did you shim it at all? mt09 sprocket thickness is 11mm but the r1 one is 10.8mm? if you didn't shim it has everything been OK so far and how many miles have you done on it? I have just ordered a 43 tooth rear sprocket and considering the 17t front aswell

      when you order it switch the bike to fz/mt and it will come the right thickness just make sure you install it the correct side in. iv had it for about 2200miles and have had no problems with it at all
