Really don't wanna sound like a wiseguy or nit-picky, but just a few tips to learn. The nut used to tighten the roller is a self securing nut with a nylon insert. However the crew used for this nut is too short to reach the nylon insert and thereofre the nut will not secure itself. Secondly you used the nut on the angle grinder the wrong way around. for a cut off disc you usw the flat part of the nut. Just a safety advise to avoid cracking of the wheel. And lastly you used a cut-off wheel to grind on the chain, this is an absolute no-go as cut-off wheels will likely break when used like this, especially the thin 1mm ones. Nevertheless, great content, keep up the good work!
Just to be little more clear, the nut that secures the disc in place is the one he used backwards. Also i have seen some discs that have a direction printed on them, just like tyres, better check just in case. And like Semmel2k says grinding discs are way beefier than cutting discs, 5mm or so, if you have seen a disc explode before you would know why thats a bad idea. And remember to always use eye protection, gloves, and never remove the metal guard around the disc, its the only thing keeping your hand safe. Also hold the tool until it stops spinning before laying it somewhere. If you´re using a drill or in this case a impact gun, hold it firmly with both hands, drills specially like twisting wrists without warning. Just looking out for people without much experience with powertools.
@@_desertork1839 Worst thing is it's not even the inexperienced that always do that stupid stuff like removing the gaurd, the experienced also do that because they are "manly" nothing manly about being a dumbass
I love how obsessive you are about cleaning your bike, it’s why they always look great. Can you give some more details in a future video on the rag trick? I replaced sprockets and chain on my bike recently and spent hours adjusting and aligning the wheel!
The longer bolt for the rollers was meant to be used with the lower roller and nylon nut. That lower bolt will likely come loose since the threads don't reach into the nylon.
Cut the sprocket in half and screw it to a piece of wood. Cut also chain in half and make 2 loops. Screw each loop to the wall and use half sprockets to hang the wood on chains. Now you have cool shelf ;)
Love the longer videos.. I think the attention to detail in wording and video (including the sweet new part close ups pre-Lube). I'm thinking you'll remember the larger sprocket feel and appreciate it for its positives without noticing or caring about negatives. You're so upset and charming and come across caring.
Oh boiii.. can't tell you how depressing was my last week.. I was riding my 160cc through some stagnant water and the engine stopped suddenly and never started again. I had to replace my spark plug from the service centre as I have very little knowledge of repairing my own bike. But even the service centre was not able to repair completely, I had to visit a local shop and finally the mechanic was able to set RPM properly and bring my bike to it's initial condition which was buttery smooth and just enough powerful to serve the purpose. Love my honda xblade and cheers to you Chaos ( 😉 ) hopefully engine parts will be ready soon 👍
Bro, impact and angle grinder are game changers for working on your bike. A couple tips for working with them though. Make sure you get yourself impact grade sockets so you don't ruin your hand sockets. Also when you use that grinder always make sure you have on gloves. Some people will say it's not needed, but one slip of that thing and it's down to the bone. I know from experience haha. Love the videos, can't wait to see you get that thing back together and started back up!
A comment too late but you actually dont always have to go old fashion with allen keys. Get yourself an allen key socket set and you can use them with any of your drills. It saves a ton of time and effort! It's especially nice to use them with the impact with stuck fasteners.
Impressive video! I'm late to the party finding your channel today. Joining your community as I'm always down to support 2 wheeled content creators like us. Well, you're a much more skilled mechanic but I'm trying to learn what I can. I'm gonna go back through some of your videos and look forward to seeing what you post next. Cheers!
I also want to find out more about the rag trick, looks much easier than trying to allign the wheel for hours, just to find out the chain is too much slacked :). Would appreciate some more detail, well don't look to complicated, think I would try this any case on my Duke 390 next time.. Good one thank you sir
Not to be a hater, I really liked the style you made this Video. But can you PLEASE get yourself a Torque Wrench and tighten your bolts to the right specification?! Otherwise it may permanently damage your bike, especially in case of your engine!!
My dude. That disc you have on the angle grinder is a cutting disc, to do that work use an abrasive disc, it's much thicker, and designed for that kind of work, if you put side force on a cutting disc it can shatter in milion pieces and one of them might hit your face
I'd recommend getting yourself a Motion Pro PBR (or similar) chain tool. You can press in a new link for an endless chain which I think is better than a split link :-)
I strongly advise you to get yourself a torque wrench to properly tighten the nuts and bolts. use the right torque thats advised for your bike, and you won't have problems to get them off again. It will also prevent from causing damage to the entire system..
What happened to the sprockets with mud release groves, slots on bottom of grove between teeth that'll collect mud and lock up chain ? Gas tank sponges ?
Good work, but might want to to get a grinding wheel for the angle grinder. The cutoff wheel you were using is not ideal for the job hence why you were having trouble keeping it steady and slipping around. It's also a more dangerous tool so make sure to keep some leather gloves and safety glasses handy. Everyone is harping on the torque wrench but in reality it's not a huge deal. Just don't go absolutely wild when sending bolts home and you'll be fine. I didn't purchase one for myself until I started rebuilding sensitive components. The cheap ones don't hold up well so if you ever buy one aim for the $100 USD range to get something that is actually worthwhile and accurate.
Hello, do you know where I can get a custom clutch line? I have a 98' TL 1000s. I have a handlebar riser kit and the factory clutch line is to snug for my taste. Thanks!
When you put the bike back on the ground, will the preload on the chain then not be too great, as the suspension is completely relaxed when you took measure.
That bolt that you cut it looks too short. The bolt is not going through the nylon part of lock nut and can loosen off due to vibration. Here for heavy equipment and large semi trucks we go with minimum of 3 threads through the nut to prevent problems of bolts loosening or stripping the nut has they don't have all the nuts threads on contact.
I'm all for longer videos. I could watch you for hours and hours, no problem.
When I discovered him I watched a lot of his videos and did just that.

the same thing i wanted to say.. i hope he doesnt have to go the bad route to know about the grinder "stuff" to figure it out.

I'm only a few mins in and I'm dreading the grinder. My boss hates that I in particular am picky with how things get used properly

"Never used the angle grinder before, put the disc in opposite direction ! "
Hillarious man!

Loved the few extra minutes, always entertaining, well done!

I like the new chain and sprocket. Can't wait to see your 1st ride. Definitely like the longer videos keep them coming.
Always excited for the next video
Longer videos, yes please. Keep on keeping on.
Thanks for the video! Can’t wait for the top end video 🙌
Having a non o ring chain definitely has benefits as well, it provides less resistance and could actually free up some hp.
Exactly why motocross bikes come with conventional chains.

Love your channel I've just purchased a ktm duke 390 myself, great bike
Make a clock out of the rear sprocket that is what I'm going to do 👍
Angle grinder has a sanding disc for it, cutting disc will break but if it is a thicker one u can gring a litle with it.
These videos are sooo satisfying dude.

I can feel how that bike is going to shift in my soul. GJ!
Hey....love your videos...keep going and keep pushing....
Love the longer videos
This is great, Chaos. Keep doing what you're doing

Great vid ! Would love to see some maintenance content for the Duke. Anyways good job!
I love the format, filles the screen great!!
man that was too satisfying...

Damn! Nice new toys👍 looking good. Well done😃
I'm going through that process right now. Shopping for a impact wench
Can't wait to see what you think of the larger aluminum sprocket. Another great video!
Not to be a hater, I really liked the style you made this Video.
But can you PLEASE get yourself a Torque Wrench and tighten your bolts to the right specification?!
Otherwise it may permanently damage your bike, especially in case of your engine!!

The old chain and sprockets mated together will make it a good display for your garage. Try it out and thank me later :P
Good job!
I strongly advise you to get yourself a torque wrench to properly tighten the nuts and bolts. use the right torque thats advised for your bike, and you won't have problems to get them off again. It will also prevent from causing damage to the entire system..
Love those jeans
Spot on buddy! 👍🏻
Amazing video editing and content, as always! Congrats
nice job! really interesting video
I would love to win that riding jeans. Wear it for my first long tour on my motorcycle.
Video was long...but we need longer! Petition for longer vids!!!,
Get some alan sockets for the impactgun
What happened to the sprockets with mud release groves, slots on bottom of grove between teeth that'll collect mud and lock up chain ? Gas tank sponges ?
Can you make a video on tightening the by this trick?
Love your vedios 💥💥💥👍👍👍
Very nice! 👍

Woo
Stool made out of rear chain sprocket
As a technician, it hurts to watch this🥲
I might be getting a dirt bike in December... are they hard to maintain and that? Just curious 😅
When you put the bike back on the ground, will the preload on the chain then not be too great, as the suspension is completely relaxed when you took measure.
Also when you jump, the chain will get some extra tension. So there is a big chance it will snap.
Mr CC :)
That bolt holding the roller is no where near long enough now because the nyloc part of the nut is not on the thread
Manh have you taken any course on engine rebuild or Passion towards motorcycle⚡⚡⚡
why tension the chain with "the rag trick"?
You should buy chain cutter to cut a chain
That bolt that you cut it looks too short. The bolt is not going through the nylon part of lock nut and can loosen off due to vibration. Here for heavy equipment and large semi trucks we go with minimum of 3 threads through the nut to prevent problems of bolts loosening or stripping the nut has they don't have all the nuts threads on contact.
the set up looks awesome, did you grease the chain back again with regular grease?
😍😍😍😍
Ever thought of making it a Supermoto?
you used a cutting wheel for grinding, use face protection please
Did you sell the Duke 390?
First to coment, love the video 🔥
kom til danmark
sprocket clock
Bro you still have to lube your chain 🤣🤣
Ok i`ll be the stupid one, what is the rag trick?
"My girlfriend wasn't heavy enough"... 😒 Envy.
hi
and the osd :-(
Nexttime buy a chain cutter
Second. Also nice video
Twelbe...
Your chain is way too tight
Dude something is not correct
First
First 🤡
There is nothing stopping you from spraying a silver sprocket black, just mask off the teeth
