    Every time he felt that chain after adjustment it moved less than an inch. One big move of the swing-arm and snap! Done it myself. Loose is better than tight.

      Yep, same goes for belt drives. Seen lots on the dealers floor with belts sooo tight strung like piano strings.

    Nice video - but, it's good to mention that some bikes will tighten the chain when the axle is tightened (mine does quite a bit). Always check when you've tightened everything.
    You can make sure the axle is tight forward against the stops (before you torque it down) by putting an object (like a screw driver) into the sprocket and rolling the wheel forward to pull it into the sprocket to tighten the chain and pull the rear tire forward.
    Also - some bikes (mine does a bit) the chain will tighten a bit when it's taken off the center stands and the suspension travels under the weight of the bike/rider.
    ALSO - Some bikes (my 2003 SV-1000s is like this) have hash marks on the swingarm that are NOT correct. I've verified the variance through several methods and two shops. They were both surprised by their findings.
    Perhaps just worth a mention in the video/annotation while you're tightening the chain. Thanks for the video!

    • @PartzillaParts
      @PartzillaParts  7 років тому +2

      All good points, Brandon! As you can see from the video, ours tightened a bit when we cranked down the axle nut. Looking back, it would have been a good comment to throw in there. Thanks for watching and giving some input!

    Step 1: Read owner's manual
    Step 2: Follow directions
    All bikes are different, and have different postures the bike must be in when measuring slack.
    Page 112 of the 2008 Honda CBR600RR manual says to check the slack while it sits on its side stand...

    • @grownman1017
      @grownman1017 3 роки тому +3

      Wrong! He compensated for that by measuring 1inch and 3/8ths. Considering the recommended measurement is 1inch. So to measure an extra 3/8ths, takes care of that. So you and the 21 idiots who liked your comment should probably go back to school and brush up on your math.

    • @robertg.durant8489
      @robertg.durant8489 3 роки тому +1

      ​@@grownman1017 It will probably be alright but is a good idea to have the rider sit on it and then check it. It may need more or less in either direction. Why have extra slop in the chain if you don't need it

  • @billybill7450
    @billybill7450 7 років тому +3

    Question please. The chain looks tight, I'm sure it will be very tight and have no free slack after you sit on bike. It looks it will damage itself. Please reply. I got similar problem on FZ-09, the chain slack per the manual is only 0.20-0.59 in. But if I seat on it after required adjustment it will be very tight, even makes noise when rolling.

    Chains tighten when a load is added to the seat. Does that play adjustment compensate for the suspension pressure which will tighten the chain? should it be adjusted with the rider sitting on it? Much discussion about this topic, and MANY opinions. Thanks

    • @OakInch
      @OakInch 2 роки тому +1

      Yeah. He did it wrong. At the very least he should check it on the side stand not in the air.

    • @justme3350
      @justme3350 4 роки тому +3

    • @craigmorris3941
      @craigmorris3941 3 роки тому +2

      The 2008 600rr service manual and it says to put it on its side stand. Having the bike on a paddock stand is the same as having it on a side stand because the swingarm is taking all of the weight , as it would if it was on the ground.

    • @justaguy4real
      @justaguy4real 3 роки тому

      Your intention is good, but the bike weight on the spool is the same as if the tire was on the ground.

  • @unclesesi5559
    @unclesesi5559 6 років тому +1

    Regarding the wheel sliding back when you tighten the nut, doesn't that apply to wheels with their nuts on the left side? (GSX-R600 and 750) because when you tighten the nut, you are trying to "roll" the axle to the back. But in this Honda, it's on the right so when you're tightening the nut, you're rolling the axle to the front. Isn't that whats going one?
    In any case, I think wedding a screw driver is the best practice!

  • @rich.dodd1
    @rich.dodd1 7 років тому +4

    where are you measuring the 30mm from?
    are you measuring from chain centre bottom to chain centre top
    or
    bottom of chain to top of chain (outside)
    or
    top of chain to bottom of chain (inside)

  • @totophandhamaly9944

    On one side of my bike, the adjustment bolt isn't pressed up against the block. It's hovering and I'm suspecting that the rear axle nut is overtightened, keeping that block in place, not relying on the actual adjustment bolt. I'm not sure how to proceed

    Use newspapers or cardboards to put behind the chain to cover the tire and frame before spraying. Saves you time cleaning up! You sprayed on the sprocket too close to the axle, some of that cleaner is gonna get inside the axle and degrease it! Not a smart idea. There's no need to hose it with water, just wipe it with clean old rag or towel.

    @matts2581 6 років тому

    I do my chain on my Honda VTR1000f with the bike on the sidestand to have at least some load on it. My first chain years ago when I was first learning - it came out far too tight when I had made adjustments with the wheel off the ground [using the lift.].

    • @PartzillaParts
      @PartzillaParts  6 років тому +1

      If it's on a rear stand, it still has some load on it. It's held up by the swingarm.

  • @adamsatisky457
    @adamsatisky457 7 років тому +1

    Thanks for the informative video - fyi it looks like the nut on this motorcycle is reversed from the stock installation, and as a result the method to check the chain's life might be slightly wrong here. Refer to p. 156 of the honda owner's manual (owners.honda.com/assets/ownerlink/model/own_man/powersports/motorcycle/2009/09_cbr600rr_a.pdf) to find the correct point of reference to refer to when measuring the chain's remaining life.

      Not very, they are more of a guide than a precise measurement, I have a laser tool that allows me to check that the wheel is 100% straight, definitely advise investing in one, they are relatively inexpensive and allow you to adjust with total accuracy.

    • @PartzillaParts
      @PartzillaParts  7 років тому

      We don't have any experience with that bike specifically. Normally, a chain will loosen with use rather than tighten up. Best guess, double check all your adjustments and locknuts. If everything looks good, but it still tightens the chain when riding, it may be worth taking to a shop for a quick inspection.

    • @PartzillaParts
      @PartzillaParts  7 років тому +4

      Hi Robert! Well, you've got one thing right -- motorcycle riding is very addictive. If you feel like you need to get on a motorcycle, no better time than the present! As long as you're safe about it, what do you have to lose? Some good basic advice for your first ride: 1) TAKE A RIDER COURSE: As much as your cool guy motorcycle friends will try to tell you to skip the MSF new rider course, if you really have never been on a bike educating yourself on how to ride is the best place to start. It's not always intuitive and you put yourself and others in danger when you hop on a bike before you're ready. 2) PICK THE RIGHT BIKE: Don't bite off more than you can chew bike-wise. I'm talking both rpm and weight wise. You need to be able to hold the bike up when you come to a complete stop; you also don't want to find yourself with a fist full of throttle you're not ready for... Start with something moderate in the 200cc range. A Kawasaki Ninja, for example. 3) CHECK OUT THE BIKE BEFORE YOU GET ON: It's always a good idea to check the chain tension, the brakes, and the tire pressure before you get on. I'm not talking take the bike apart, just a visual inspection, a kick, and a tug will tell you if it's safe or not. Don't know -- ask a friend. Or find out what you need to know on UA-cam. ;)
      Happy riding!! We wish you hours of motorcycle obsession.

      Don't think, just go and try it! You can always give up ridding, or change bike for quad or UTV or 4x4 truck if you want same adventure but be safer. But start with NOT powerful bike and buy proper protective gear.

  • @wali363
    @wali363 5 років тому

    Hi, thanks for the video. The measurement that you are doing is like 1.38 of inches from the bottom of the swing arm or is it ot the distance between the points when the chain is fully pushed up and fully pushed down??

    • @PartzillaParts

      it's the amount of slack in the chain, up and down.

      Depends on the unit. There are some that have a center notch on the plate and others just use the outside edge. It varies. Your owners manual should give you the proper notation.

  • @websolutions6117
    @websolutions6117 7 років тому

    How do you know which mark on the swing arm tells you the chain is shot? I have a Kawasaki and I assume there's a mark on the swing arm but the service manual doesn't say anything about it.

    • @PartzillaParts
      @PartzillaParts  7 років тому

      What year model do you have? There are typically hash marks to align your wheel. Once you get towards the end of your adjustment capabilities, it's time to swap out the chain and dial it all back in.

    I honestly think the guide marks are useless. I take a tape measure from swingarm cut out, for the chain adjuster, and measure horizontally to the beginning of the axle. So much easier and quicker to check the distance matches on both sides.

  • @XWarAlphaX
    @XWarAlphaX 7 років тому

    Is it normal for a bike chain to constantly be stretching...I mean on my bike I'm having to retighten it all the time and I feel like I shouldn't be, I make sure it's in alighnment. I've gone through two chains this year and I don't ride aggressively, I ride to work and just for fun, so I wouldn't mind some advice and pointers in the right direction.

    • @XWarAlphaX
      @XWarAlphaX 7 років тому

      Again I keep it aligned accurately with both the adjustment plates and a laser tool, but my chain always ends up getting more loose, according to my knowledge, I'm getting the best recommended heavy duty chain and sprocket sets, is it bad parts or could this be something more complex causing it?

    +Partzilla Question. I got a brand new gsxr and looking at the swing arm notch marks I'm setting at 5 on one side and 6 on the other. This being a brand new bike these notch number should pretty much match, right?

    • @PartzillaParts
      @PartzillaParts  6 років тому

      They should match. You can measure from a fixed point on both sides to confirm they are accurate.

    can I accomplish adjusting the tension on the chain without the bike jack?

    • @PartzillaParts
      @PartzillaParts  7 років тому +1

      You can get it done without a rear stand. The only problem is, you need the bike to be upright, not on the kickstand. You can hire a buddy hold the bike up while you do it...We have found that cold beverages are pretty good payment.

    I don't have a paddock stand and my bike doesn't have a centre stand , can I adjust my chain while it's on its kickstand?
    (CBR300R doesn't have spools)

    • @PartzillaParts
      @PartzillaParts  7 років тому +1

      It's not advised. You want the bike to be upright if you are adjusting the axle in any way. You could always have a friend hold it up while you do the work in a pinch. We have found that providing cold beverages makes them more willing to help. When you're able, pick up a swingarm stand, they aren't too expensive and it will be a lot easier.

    Lol, this is why I fear leaving my bike at dealerships or with anybody tbh

    • @PartzillaParts
      @PartzillaParts  7 років тому +7

      If you watch it closely, it was a verbal correction. Both sides were adjusted to the 6th mark. That being said, if we get something wrong, by all means, leave a comment. Not saying we won't make an occasional mistake, but we have a pretty good track record. :D

    Just 1 question.. When you measure the chain tension, do you measure to the top of link, middle, or bottom of it?

    • @PartzillaParts
      @PartzillaParts  6 років тому +2

      I generally measure to the rivets. As long as you're consistent and measure from the same place everytime, you should be fine.

      I would say you can, never heard anything bad about it. I'll do it tomorrow with my O-ring chain if I manage to get some. Gas stations don't have it here, I'll try at the paint shops.

    • @PartzillaParts
      @PartzillaParts  7 років тому

      On this bike, once you pass the green area, it's time to replace. Some bikes don't even have that, so once you run out of room to adjust, replace.

      To do it properly, you need the bike upright. So you can always have a friend hold it up while you adjust.

    just curious why you don't use something like a laser alignment tool. I purchased one from Germany and it seems to work pretty good. My measurement stamps on the swingarm do not align up 100%

    @jeffreyhinman1397 5 років тому

    You make some great videos, but this was done wrong. For starters you want to clean the chain first as it will loosen after it’s clean. Second, when you move the bottom section of the chain to check how much freeplay, you only want to push the chain on the bottom until the top part of the chain on top of the swing arm just barely begins to rise. You take the measurement from that point for free play. If you push too hard you get a false reading and your chain ends up too tight.

    waasy to tight. rider weight sits on THAT chain its GOING to cause pre WEAR on sprockets. also those points on swing arm are JUST reference TAKE a simple tape measure measure from swing arm pivot axle and middle of rear axel. get measurement take to other side and compare tape. just from experience i found those marks can be not exact 10 mm off one side is a lot if you take how far its off ftom THE front wheel

    I dont understand the new/replace chain sticker thingy. how would i know if the chain needs replacing?? please help!!

    • @PartzillaParts
      @PartzillaParts  7 років тому

      There should be a mark on the axle spacer that points to the sticker. After you adjust your chain, if that mark is pointing to the red or "replace" area of the sticker, it means your chain is stretched out and needs to be replaced with a new one.

    do you need to have a bike lift to do this

    • @PartzillaParts
      @PartzillaParts  7 років тому

      If you are working solo, you should have at least a swingarm stand. If you have a loyal buddy that can hold your bike up while you do it, that works too.

    Can the replacement be avoided if, one removed 1 connecting ring ???

    • @PartzillaParts
      @PartzillaParts  6 років тому

      If you are interested in eventually snapping your chain and having it destroy the back end of your bike and possibly your leg or back. That thing will turn into a weapon pretty quick. Once the chain is stretched out that far, just replace it. It will save you money and personal injury in the long run.

    • @phobia6661

    Hello, I have 2 questions. #1 Are the cleaners and the chain wax harmful to the rubber of the tire? Should I be protecting that rear tire? Right now I clean and lube like you did on the video. #2 on the 2009 CBR600RR OM - owners.honda.com/assets/ownerlink/model/own_man/powersports/motorcycle/2009/09_cbr600rr_a.pdf Page 156 it states Check the chain wear label when adjusting the chain. If the front edge of the chain adjustment plate ( 1 ) enters the red zone (2) on the label after the chain has been adjusted to the proper slack, the chain is excessively worn and must be replaced. I noticed you are using a the center as a guide. Did it change that much from 2008 to 2009? Thanks

    • @PartzillaParts
      @PartzillaParts  7 років тому +2

      The cleaners and wax are not harmful to the tires. That being said, you don't want to get a ton of it on the tires simply for traction purposes. Some of them have a center mark and some models use the edge of the plate. If there is no notch on the plate, then it's the front edge.
