My pleasure 😊

I’m seriously thinking/considering buying. ‘24 VStrom, and it’s been a while since really considered buying a chain driven motorcycle, I have owned 8 motorcycles, and have owned 4 chain driven ones, the last was my ‘01 Yamaha FZ1, great bike, so it’s been a long time. Would you recommend a V Strom 650 to an old guy? Thank you

[@MototalkUSA]

Yes, I'd definitely recommend the vstrom 650, it's not a power house but definitely a good bike!

Excelent video! The only concern for me is putting the right amount of torque I always tend to put too much. Any advise?

[@MototalkUSA]

Thank you man! Do you mean the torque on the tool?

[@guillermochavez2170]

@@MototalkUSA Yes, I was referring to putting a force of 72 ft/lbs as you tighten up the axle nut.

[@MototalkUSA]

@@guillermochavez2170 yup, that's what it calls for, I have the same feeling but that's what I go for.

Hello my friend, do you know how can i replace the bolt that tightens the chain because its rouined? Thanks

[@MototalkUSA]

Hello there, remove the rear wheel axle and the block where the adjustable screws push on and then remove those rounded bolts. Καλή τύχη φίλε μου 😉

[@briancannamore8494]

Do you turn both adjustment screws clockwise?

[@MototalkUSA]

Yup, correct

[@briancannamore8494]

Thank you !!!

[@MototalkUSA]

@briancannamore8494 you're very welcome my friend!

[@shaggymason8415]

How often do you have to do this?

[@MototalkUSA]

@@shaggymason8415 about once or twice a year but it depends of course how much it's being used, how it's being used, if it's lubricated well etc.

[@shaggymason8415]

@@MototalkUSA Okay how many miles or kilometers? (I do a good amount of ridding)

It looks like it is too tight.

100Nm damaging the axle and nut!

That's what the owners manual shows, same thing on my Hayabusa.
