Chain and Sprockets Replacement Tutorial Honda Africa Twin CRF 1000

Hello and welcome to the channel. This video is a how to replace front and rear sprockets and chain on Honda Africa Twin CRF 1000. It is pretty simple procedure that will require only two specialty tools. Chain tool so you can break the chain link, press on the new one and revit an it's a good idea to use the Torque wrench to torque the bolts to proper manufacture specs. It was first time for me attempting this job but it was pretty easy. I did not show how to remove the rear tire as there is quite a few videos on KZbin easy accessible.

Thank you bro, very good video and actual quite soothing ❤

[@AdventureTravelandScuba]

I'm glad you benefited out of it 👍

[@thatcrazyguy1971]

Pay attention that the nut on the rear wheel must be on the right side of the bike, not the left. Axle must be inserted from the left. Not sure how much this is critical, but the maintenance manual is my bible :-) Thank you for a concise video!

[@AdventureTravelandScuba]

Thank you for noticing wow, so in thay case dealership sold me the bike like this, they must of put it together this way when assembled as I always had it this way since day one. Just now looked in the Honda manual and Yes You are correct. I will change this, I don't think that makes much of a difference but better be safe and go as per manual. The axle had to be this way all along and no issues do. Good catch, thanks.

[@PennsylvaniaDualSport]

So I believe that “spacer” as you call it behind the counter shaft cover is the case saver which helps protect your case in the event your chain snaps. Appreciate the video. I just picked up a new to me Africa Twin 👍

Awesome tutorial dude!

Thank you I'm glad you found it useful

The oem chain doesn't have a master link to release? Only this and rivet it back on?

[@AdventureTravelandScuba]

Correct

[@AdventureTravelandScuba]

You can cut any link on OEM chain

[@Adv4MM]

good vid! certainly the job doesn't look daunting so I'm thinking to do it on my CRF1000 2016 when the time comes. I'm in the market for a chain tool like that, which brand is it ?

[@AdventureTravelandScuba]

The tool is Multitool by Motion Pro works awesome and Motion Pro makes great motorcycle tools that you can trust. That tool will break the link and rivet back on a new one, there is another version slightly bigger more heavy duty fortnine.ca/en/motion-pro-chain-breaker-and-riveting-tool, the apparently better one is this fortnine.ca/en/motion-pro-chain-tool. Thank You for Subscribing.

Hi!!! What is the torque wrench type/size for the rear? TIA.

[@AdventureTravelandScuba]

@@JohnBusa1981 i have only one torque wrench it is Power fist nothing fancy it will do most of jobs done and it is 1/2 inch bought it years ago at Princess Auto in Canada

[@JohnBusa1981]

@@AdventureTravelandScuba After changing to the Kineo rims, Kineo sprocket and DID gold chain Im having problem with many times loose chain. So I need to get a torque wrench but I dont know which one 1/2" or 3/8". Thank-you for the input.

[@AdventureTravelandScuba]

either one will do mine has a longer handle so it is multipurpose for most jobs but get one that will fit your Sockets especially the biggest one you're using such as real axle nut and teipple tree bolt

I hope that video will help some of you. I did not include wheel removal as there is other videos on KZbin. You can find front wheel removal on my channel in the video here:kzbin.info/www/bejne/a3vSnoqordR1pJo Please comment bellow and if you find it helpful give that thumbs up👍

[@samuelcaudill9094]

What is the torque setting of the initial bolt on the shift lever?

[@AdventureTravelandScuba]

These small bolts I do not use torque but I'm sure you should find it in the shop manual can be downloaded on crf1000 FB group. I would look it up for you but I am riding next 2 weeks away from home

[@samuelcaudill9094]

@@AdventureTravelandScuba awesome, thank you for the quick reply.

[@solanobiker]

Com quantos mil km precisou trocar o kit ( coroa+pinhão+corrente )

[@AdventureTravelandScuba]

22K km on the chain o'rings started falling out sprockets were still technically good but manual says to change sprockets and chain together

[@solanobiker]

@@AdventureTravelandScuba acredito que vc faça um uso mais severo, mais off do que o meu. Minha AT está indo para 27 mil km, ainda com a kit original ( pinhão+corrente+coroa) ontem coloquei o quarto pneu traseiro nela. Verifiquei os 3 rolamentos da roda traseira, tirei a graxa que ainda estava boa, e coloquei outra nova, mas os rolamentos estão como novos. Aqui no Brasil as coisas são muito caras, preciso fazer milagres para rodar com a moto e prolongar a vida útil dos componentes ao máximo.

[@AdventureTravelandScuba]

@@solanobiker yes did quite a bit harsh off road that totally contribute to more wearing of components. Not sure if you followed any of my off road riding on the channel there are few videos. I think I'll back off from extreme riding a bit as yes repairs get pricey
