First video I’ve seen that is straight forward... you are also the first person I’ve seen smart enough to use the calliper to verify both sides are even. Would have like to see you use it before the adjustment to verify it was even to start... good job
Very good video, simple and straight forward, but you should show people that you actually have to use a Torque wrench, and the setting the Manufacturer have set to use for the rear axle, overtightening the axle can cause numbers of problems for your brake.
Im assuming you measuring from the back of the swing arm to the end of adjusting screw is for alignment purposes? If so do you find that the swing arm alignment indicators that are built in are off?
Went to do my chain maintenence today and realized the outer nut on my sprocket side was missing! Does anyone know the size nut I should get at the hardware store?
So I love the straightforwardness of this video and how it's shot, but I notice that you didn't put either a towel or a screwdriver in between the chain the the sprocket and roll the tire forward some, to make sure it's firmly seated before tightening the axel nut again, like I've seen in a couple other videos. Is it not THAT crucial of a step or something?
Forgive my lack of knowledge but let me just ask I want to attempt this on my cb300r which has the same chain/axle/locking nut combination. You're loosening the right axle nut only? then each sides respective locking nut? then you check slack to be within spec? and after you're checking the allignment of the chain? Snug everything up when you're all good and within spec? correct? 😬
Looks like some form of depth gauge. When I adjusted mine, I didn't have one and I don't think they're even. I'm going to order a depth gauge/caliper to make sure they are dead on.

Simple yet effective. No fireworks, no narration, yet easy to grasp. Well done.

Brilliant... no bullshit, just education distilled to necessity. 👍
Not often I like and leave a comment, but you deserve it. Straight to the point, God quality footage and post production.
Just did it following the video. I usually faff about much more but that was straight and simple. Great video style. Cheers guys
Did you only loosen the right axle nut and had no problems with it being out of alignment?
the best video on this topic, short and clear
I love straighforward videos like this one
Thanks!
I see you torque that locking nut to one 'ahh' of torque 😂
I was always taught that you check for tight spots all along the chain after adjusting. Chains do not always wear evenly.
Without any words, but very understandable. Thank you.👍🏍️
Glad you liked it!
what exactly are you measuring with the callipers, can it be done with simple ruler?
Is your bike the standard hight? Eyeballing a 2013 5000km model which has been lowered and figuring out if I can bring it back to original
Simple video,right to business and Thanks bud!!!
Using calipers for alignment was my strategy as well. There is probably a better way but I couldn't think of anything.

Exactly what I needed to see, thank you!!!!!

nomad tony they are only on one side lmao 10 months later

Book says to tighten rear axle nut to 88 N.m, 65 lbf.ft, 9.0 kgs.m
Yeah, Was just thinking, I've had issues w it coming loose n backing off even at torque spec, i kinda feel like he left it way too loose in this vid.
THANK YOU!
Can you adjust the chain properly without a bike stand?
Take notes. None of that WWWWWWWWWHUTS UP UA-cam? those ppl should be banned.
😂
Thx didn't use any fancy tools, this is a video for people with not a vast arsenal of tools
What kind of stand is that cause I have a 2014 CB500F and I can't find the right rear stand for it.
Great video. Regards from Colombia
Well said.

wondering it also
I'm also wondering
New to riding, how often does this need to be checked/adjusted under normal riding conditions?
Like in 2:00 if you have more than 4cm of displacement
obviously loosen both axle nuts not just the right one?
How many torque wrench
Thanks I really need to adjust mine
What is your exhaust ?
Forgive my lack of knowledge but let me just ask I want to attempt this on my cb300r which has the same chain/axle/locking nut combination.
You're loosening the right axle nut only?
then each sides respective locking nut?
then you check slack to be within spec?
and after you're checking the allignment of the chain?
Snug everything up when you're all good and within spec?
correct? 😬
Perfect, thanks
What was that tool you used to check the alignment?
Looks like some form of depth gauge. When I adjusted mine, I didn't have one and I don't think they're even. I'm going to order a depth gauge/caliper to make sure they are dead on.
The old school calipers can be used as a depth gauge, I don't think the digital ones work that way.
close rear nut with torque wrench. other is good.
great video
what's the tool called at 1:14?
Perfect
Thanks
