I don't understand why anyone would give GOOD USEFUL info thumbs down... Thanks for the video, and the info!!!! ☺
Don W., TX
cause they're idiots.
This is a lifesaver. I'm a fairly new rider and now I'm having to learn all the maintainence stuff. It's difficult at first but your videos have helped so much.
Thanks!
Most helpfull video on chain adjustment I've found so far. Thanks.
Excellent. So clear and helpful. Many other videos overlook the 'tight spots' and the variance. Super crucial... Thanks!
I rarely leave a comment to videos, but I felt compelled to do it; I've seen many tutorial videos, but this one is really clear to understand and complete. Thank you.
This is the best chain adjustment video on youtube, IMHO. Thanks guys, really helped me get mine bang on.
Definitely the best video out there to learn to do this task. Much appreciated
Definitely agreed. Some of the newer videos don't explain everything like this video did and glosses over some of the fundamentals.
First time bike owner, found this very helpful, thank you!
I've only recently found your channel, but I feel like I've struck a gold mine.
I'll be doing a number of services to my bike today, including this, for the first time.
I bought a KTM 890 Duke R, almost 1 year ago. It's the first sportbike I've ever owned or ridden.
Since then, I've felt like dealing with KTM directly has been like pulling teeth,
and I haven't been particularly impressed with the shop I bought it from; that's been doing the service for me.
Up until now! I just purchased more tools than my girlfriend would probably prefer, and I'm about to dig in.
I'd like to thank you, as out of ALL the information available to me,
from KTM's own official documents, to the world wide web, - YOUR wisdom has helped me the most, I'd say.
From a complete beginner viewpoint, your instruction could not be more top notch.
This is the first video I've seen that's not so recent, and the quality has clearly been incredible for a while now.
I dropped my bike in a snow storm a few weeks ago, twice, on BOTH sides. (yikes)
You've helped me understand introductory concepts so well, I'm legitimately excited to do my own work, as apposed to dreading it.
I'm sure you've also just saved me a massive amount of money, honestly, and I couldn't be more appreciative. You're a god-send.
I now have 30 tabs open, I'm planning work I didn't think I was capable of before, and your website is stunning.
Sincerely,
Some Guy
Wow! Right on! Just take your time and don't force anything. It things aren't moving take a step back and figure out why. You probably just missed a bolt tucked away underneath somewhere out of sight.
And remember, KTM will always find a way to let you know they are still in charge. 😜
Wow really great clean straightforward information i wish there was more videos like this one.
Best video I've seen on chain slack and tightening procedures! Thanks
Great video. I just replaced chain and sprockets on my V-Strom today and I found this very helpful!
By far the most helpful tutorial on chain adjustment that I’ve seen, thank you .
Thanks for the help, Nancy!
Great video! Straight from the hip and no nonsense. Thanks a bunch, Dude!
Sir the science and reasoning in the video is really very intelligent and sensible. Thank you so much for sharing this knowledge. My bike sprockets are doing really awesome because of you. 3 years back I started using your method and since then I am just so happy and biking is so much fun with no stress or doubt. God bless 🙏
Thanks so much guys! I learned a lot, everything is crystal clear and you guys explain WHY you're doing the steps. Most guides just tell you what to do, but they fail to explain it.
My chain is nice and snug now :)
Thank you!! I've not seen another say to press the chain down, and measure from that point up... That's a very important step in my book!!!! 👌🏼👍🏼 they are showing measuring from idle, up....
Great Vid.
Two great points: Measure from the swingarm pivot, and jam a wrench in the sprocket.
Excellent "must know" tricks.
I've never thought to jam something in the sprocket to create a tight chain and hold the axle in place. Great tip!
Very clear detailed explanation of the job - thank you muchly - have 2 Kawasakis to do tomorrow Z750 and 650L - will watch again before I do.
The best video on chain adjustments I've seen. This looks like the simplest method to measure, adjust and align... The best thing about "simple" is that people are more likely to do it on a regular basis..
Holy crap, best video on this hands down! Makes it so easy to understand
Awesome video ! Thanks for the useful tips and tricks it helped tremendously !
Well explained. Everyone else gives the theory. You gave the practical demo.
Very nice indeed.
Hi Canyon buddy!
just adjusted my Aprilia APRC drive chain - your instructions were spot-on! Thanks for that.
Thanks you Canyon Chasers for the instructional video and greetings from Romania!
just watched the video as I now have to adjust my chain on my Lifan 125-30. Very clear "how-to" video so thank you very much
Your videos are some of the most clear and complete that I have seen. Many thanks!
Thank you!
love my single sided swingarm. no fluffing around with tape measures , strings and cam adjusters for alignments.
Simple quick and looks much more efficient and effective the best video yet you must have be taught by old school thumbs up on the video.
Excellent video. Always learning new tricks. Thanks guys
Best chain adjusting video I've seen yet!
Seriously, thank you for taking the time to make this video!!
Great tips nancy. You are now one of my favourites.
Very informative and well made vid. Thanks from a newbie biker in the UK!
Totally awesome video. I just watched like five of them (how to adjust the chain slack) and this one is the best.
Awesome, thank you! And to think, it was one of our very first videos. We've come such a long way since then.
Agreed
I love your channel, and try to incorporate your advice into riding my heavy touring bike. But, it would be awesome if you could do a video specifically on riding and handling techniques for big bike riders. Keep up the good work.
Great video.
LOVE that paint job on that bike. Never seen one like it and it looks great.
Still the best video guide about properly adjusting your chain 👍🤙
Need to do mine over the weekend. This video gave me some new "tricks" to do it even better than i use to.. AWESUM INFO, thx man.
Thanks for the detailed video. This is exactly what I was looking for.
Thanks for the pro tips!
great video, very descriptive and saves me having to get it done and forking out for it. thankyou
THANKS a ton for this one... the 8mm allen trick is what i needed to make my adjustments, cuz I was never able to do it well before.
very informative and well put together!
fantastic video. im just off outside with my Haynes manual to do my cbr 600f for the first time. Never needed to adjust my chain tension on my yzfr125 in the whole year i owned it. So this is a first for me.
Thanks for the tutorial! It always blows my mind how anybody could give a thumbs down to a video like this.
awesome tutorial! am so glad I watched this.
Thank you for the compliment!
Thanks for the post Canyon chaser , it helps me a lot
Awesome tips! I rely like three Allen wrench tip for spacing the chain. Awesome
Excellent video and great info
GOod one thanks, I adjusted my chain recently but only checked it in one place for the correct slack. Some riding later and my chain was operating my louder than usual, grinding and squeaking sounds. Re-checked my chain and that was virtually no movement in some spots on the chain!! adjusted and now its great. Checking with a measuring tape is a good idea - but i have to remove both my dual exhausts which is a bit of a pain!.
Superb video - really helpful, thank you
Great video - has given me the confidence to sort out my chain alignment :-)
Just adjusted mine and noticed the marker washer was able to move back and forth slightly, it made me think this adjustment method was useless.
Making that measurement from the swing arm pivot point to the rear axle centre point makes complete sense....
Thanks for this info
This is very useful Video, thanks man!
Thank you so much for making this. It really helped me
Great video!! Clear instructions. Thanks bro!
Great video!
Excellent video....especially on the alignment part...thanks
Very comprehensive vid, thanks.
Thanks. Very helpful. Now, I can't wait to get off from work and make some corrections. Mine's giving off some rattling sound. I guess, it's too tight. I hope I can buy bike stand.
thankyou so much for this lesson, you are a very good teacher. Restolad
Great vid!
Super helpful!!
Very useful video, Nancy.
It controls the rotation of the brake caliper. On some models, you need to loosen the bolt, on most bikes, however, there is enough movement/play in the torque link that it's not necessary.
great vid keep up the good work and tips
Really helpful. Much appreciated.
Great video bro!
Thank you for the great video, hugely helpful
Sweet vid!! I'm gonna check out the website right now!
I would have never thought of the 8mm trick. Thanks!
very good presentation on doing it yourself.. thanks :)
Super informative thank u!!
Wow this is helpful.. thanks for the tip nancy 😀😀😀
Seriously, thank u so much for the video.
Omg!! I've seen that sv650 on wikipedia that is such a sick bike. I ride a 2000 sv650 streetfighter
Great video
Good video. Nice clear advice.👍🇨🇦
Best vid on youtube for chain adjustment.
Good video, audio, and you even sounds like an info-mercial.
Gotta give an explanation for the nancy apron though.....
Brilliant site this !.subscribed to this excellent for information.
Thanks partner for your help , Good Tips!
Nicely done video. It would be even better if you mentioned some motorcycle manuals give the chain slack value for the bike on a side stand and that your chain will definitely be too tight if you set minimum slack while on center stand.
Thanks for the speedy reply!
nice tutorial Nancy!!
Great tutorial!
@Sbafokkio Putting the wrench in pulls everything forward so it makes the chain a smidgen looser (which is okay) but whats important about it, is it makes sure the axel and all the spacers are pulled together tightly so there is no slop in any of the parts.
Loved it super video !!
thanks...very well spoken..well described on all my Questions which i couldnt else where...THANKS
Great instruction, thanks.
great video thanks
best video on youtube for chain adjustment.
very help full many thanks.
Thanks for the video.
Thanks.. it Help me a Lot
Brilliant video very helpful! But if the motorcycle has a chain roller/tensioner device fitted do you measure the slack with the tensioner applying force or without it?
Awesome vid. Liked.
