Changing Sprockets and Exhaust!

This is how I change my sprockets and exhaust on my motorcycle. I give a few Hints and tips along the way from fitting sprockets and alining the real wheel to working tips and fitting the exhaust.
As I say these are the way I do things and I don't suggest taking my word as gospel on anything. I am no trained mechanic! How ever I have been doing things this way for years and have never had a problem with my methods.

My dad spayed WD-40 on my pedal bikes brakes because they where squeeking, daft basterd almost killed me!

[@HalfdeadRider]

lmao

[@adamculverhouse2155]

WD-40 Helps keeps the brakes cold, it also helps with braking. heard it can add horsepower on some brakes

[@crazyanonymousrider2254]

why appoligise alot of people prefer long videos (including me ) , great video bro and all the best with the foot!

[@simonj48]

Great video, excellently explained and super quality. You've probably explained more in 30 minutes then most people learn about their bike in 5 years or more of ownership. Hopefully you do a video on the replacement seals. You should talk to Sinnis, see if they can give you parts to 'build'/ the bike. It'd make for a great informational series and promote their brand and bike far better then any bike out there on youtube so far.

[@aiden1620]

Thanks Spicy! I just changed me sprockets- couldn't have done it without this video

[@jameskeen6496]

Really enjoyed this video Spice, keep up da good work mate. Love these sorts of video's you make very educational people can learn allot from you about things in general.

[@TheTastymama]

Agreed!!

[@ThreeStreets42]

"Freshly harvested engine potatoes!" I bought a 27mm socket this weekend to do my chain adjustment. Rear axle nut on the Street Triple.

[@ATOMICxxAPExx]

Gunna get this bike in black. Starting to see why it's important to know your bike inside and out. Normally I would just take it straight to a garage, but to see how simple it can actually be to do it yourself helps a lot. Just a bit of time and effort really. Cheers mate. :)

[@TheJDL94]

Been watching your videos for a while now and I think your so awesome! You make me proud to know theres other people on the roads which have 125cc's who are nice people :D

[@spicy110]

Thanks Jim!

[@MrEminemrules92]

Good Job you put this up. I will hopefully be getting a Sinnis Apache when I turn 17. Very Educational. Great Video ! :)

[@xoYoungGunox]

If the wheel is binding in certain spots then it may be the disc but my YZs front wheel was really sticky in general and what it ended up being was too much dirt making the calipers pistons not return all the way back in. Cleaned it out and spun like a dream!

[@JIGGYMOTO]

Great video, love the long interesting ones with bike maintenance. It gives me a bit more confidence to do more work myself. Thanks.

[@Jaymartin3136]

Very good vlog , lots of good info and it's good to know you can do this stuff your self .

Good video, good tips in there, also some bad habits but we all got them! Nice work Spicy

[@Felix-eg2ll]

Fun and enjoyable vid Mr Spice

[@kester135]

my bike had an emissions return I just put some garden hose on the pipe and put a bolt and jubilee clip on the end of the hose. Emissions return doesn't do anything anyway just pumps a load of crap back into the engine reducing the quality of air, making it breath terribly (Basically it's a restricter and a money waster, and no it does not effect MOTs, Tax or break laws by removing this)

[@kester135]

Oh! Spicy liked my comment. That just made my day :-)

[@tortron]

The crank case breather? blocking it off isnt a good idea. Its better to keep it open. Reroute it, or put a filter or something on it

[@kester135]

@@tortron no its very rudimentary form of erg, ive seen it called "secondary air system" "EGR" "anti pollution valve" nowadays all 125s are fuel injection and have computers that get unhappy if you take this stuff out but 6 years ago you could still buy 125s that were carburetted meaning you could remove any emissions devices and restrictors and pretty much get away with it, making some power in the process.

[@tortron]

@@kester135 Ah the egr thing on some of these engines. Yeah get rid of that. The stupidest thing ever is the exhaust air injection to "lower emissions". Can still buy carb bikes over here with no emissions stuff, I bought one last year, it was tuned rich too. I think that changes next year with all new bikes needing abs etc.

[@kester135]

@@tortron yeah in the uk the new euro laws made it so all bikes had to be fuel injected and be fitted with either anti lock brakes or brake balancing valves as of 2017.

[@Daniel-we2kw]

I wanting to get a 16T front sprocket what would you suggest for the rear?

[@cyberjack]

i got a deresitrcted exhaust off Ebay for £49 (sounds like 750 lol) and jetted up the carb . and my max speed gone from 68/70 MPH to 90 ..and its very fast in lower end to.. made a massive diffrence .. its like a diffrent bike

[@adamhards181]

Laws of physics....,you should change the front sprocket 3 to 1 ratio to the rear...why may you ask?...it's because the front spins 3 x as much as the rear..its all down to the size you know.....great work spicy...

[@blobby273]

you probably know this but if you brake binding in only one spot it could be the rollers need cleaning and spinning that if its a floating discs there are a few vids on u.tube about it

[@daniel223543]

Please make a video of when you change the fork seals, and potentially fix the brakes too! I have those exact two problems on my bike.

[@ColdStartAuto]

Whats wrong with your brakes?

[@daniel223543]

They stick a little, but only on half of the rotation of the wheel.

[@lizcoz4714]

spicy110 can you do a video on fork fixing?

[@andrewhall5777]

Love watching ur videos mate u seem a good guy. And ive learnt quite alot from watching them. So many thanks and keep up the good work..ur like my personal mechanic lol.. just got one of these bikes and there bloody fantastic for wat they are.. all the best spicy110..;-)

[@classicbiker8897]

When i line up my rear wheel, i look down the chain between the 2 sprockets, the front one i know is straight so i just line up the rear one to match but also leaving some slack in the chain and ive never had a problem with the sprocket wearing unevenly, i just spin the wheel a couple of times and make sure the chain centers on the rear sprocket

[@badbob9nine282]

Thank you this is very informative

[@shinyparts]

Extra points for Red Dwarf tension sheet!

[@stampydragon2739]

There’s a EGR blanking plate you can use and you don’t have to change the gasket

[@jboy1919]

try to get yourself a workshop manual or something for the bike and you can do anything ;) nice bike! and nice to work on too!

[@daniellane89dl]

Spicy and his bubble bike lol Keep up the great vids mate

[@BMTVx]

GREAT video there spicy - More maintenance videos !! :DD

[@GentlemanBikerVlog]

The first time I ever took a rear wheel off a bike, I had to spend what seemed like hours in the baking sun faffing about. It dropped down and meant I had to take the brake off too and I lost a spacer. Putting the axle back through was fiddly as could be as well. Nightmare...

[@ross147852]

This video was great spicy, MORE UPGRAGE VIDEOS!!

[@cbf125rider]

Would recommend using a torque wrench on anything that screws into the engine.

[@natswii]

brilliant video excellent editing too

[@Super690Motard]

Why did you change your header pipe back to standard spicy? and a drz may be stated as the same weight as a pulse but trust me when your trying to lift it into a van its a lot heaver ha

[@RE_Bullet03]

We usually work to FT if we can't find the torque setting on the trucks and light(er) vehicles, the tanks are always FT, very FT

[@marcoaguiar3226]

I have been told that the axle does not need greasing as what rotates are the bearings and not the axle.

[@spicy110]

Correct but grease stops water getting in and corroding the axle that can lead to it rusting in place, not fun times.

[@sdwboss]

Nice method aligning the rear wheel. Do you know if that works / doesn't work on other bikes?

[@DangleVonBallbag]

I have a torque wrench! When I got my tyres changed it took them ages to get the rear wheel off. Methinks I don't know how to use it properly...

[@andyday6986]

I got that dep down pipe on my sinnis and it's fits fine on mine lol

[@SKEPGFX]

haha, "That's the Clutch div..." nice call!

[@adenlamb9916]

Lets test your memory! can you re use the old washer, also what size is it? going to mess with the gearing for better acceleration, from 16T to 13T

I need to change my chain and sprockets I have found some on ebay because I couldn't find it on sinnis website is the jt chain and sprocket any good

[@jaguarsilikon]

Nice video! Do you guys think 160/60-17 tires will fit on the rear on a xt125x? I'm also have been putting on 110's in the front :)

[@Dhigzzz]

You dont have to take the head apart and change the gasket you just have to bank the egr valve with a blanking plate.

[@daveymorgan3712]

what is your basic tool kit you use for servicing your bike?

[@billys1997]

nearly at that 25k sub mark btw xD

[@SaulBarry]

How tight should the chain be? i cant find the tension anywhere online

[@adam03957]

Fyi spicy, copper grease on the axle will last longer, and when washing hands, dish soap and laundry powder works miracles

[@ultimadriver]

spicy! you actually dont set the chain tension after your weight. if you would the chain would snap for light people when the suspension compresses because the chain is under full tension (length) when the drive shaft, swing arm axle and the rear-wheel axle is perfectly straight. but i do as you do still but i compress the suspension allot more then you :) but on the other hand i only use specs when doing if for others if its any bigger then a 160cc

[@coast2coast00]

yup.. the anal way to do it is to use a ratchet strap through the wheel over the seat to compress the suspension so the three points line up and then adjust your tension. Then you measure your chain again on the side stand so you can tell easily in the future how tight or loose your chain is without compressing the suspension.

[@spicy110]

If I were to set the chain to the sort of tension people suggest it would be too tight when I sit on it, I was just pointing out why I leave my chain loser than most people would, that was my point

[@100GTAGUY]

I'd use the specs on any size bike. I've snapped a chain because it was too tight for the riding i was doing, bottomed out off a jump and the chain snapped, whipped around, and damaged my engine case very badly. It saves lots of money in the long run if everything is nice and proper on any machine.

[@iankearns]

All comes down to quality of parts and bike manufacturer if you 'trust' the manufacturers recommendations. I rode a Varadero for a couple of years and you should always tension the chain with the wheel off the ground (ideally on centre stand or alternative) and dont tension one side complete without doing the other at the same time. Do both sides together; 1 flat turn at a time (if hexnut) and total chain drop should be about 2cm or 1 inch in old money (yes I know that is 54mm difference however the difference in actual chain tension is negligible and will likely stretch that immediately) I now ride a shaft drive bike so not a concern but knowing how to do it properly is important. Using quality components such as D.I.D is important but if chinese bikes require chinese components then you have to go with what you can. And as a footnote; TAF is never good enough, always use a torque wrench.

[@spicy110]

I did say I have been doing things this way on these bikes for over 6 years never had a problem, not once! And to not do anything I do! Lol

[@lukejepson9443]

have you gone stock sprockets or higher or lower can I have a eg please of before and after front and rear

[@pacepaceman]

How come you changed a Dep downpipe for a standard stainless one?

[@curtisss]

he didn't like the sound of the dep downpipe and on top of that he was sent the old model which doesn't clear the airbox so he sent it back and got a stainless one because the stock one rusts.

[@turgsh01]

Awesome vid, thanks for sharing with us. :)

[@ghostuk1973]

[@deanrobinson9660]

I heard you can buy a 180cc big bore kit for these? Is it true and can anyone send me a link? Thanks

[@KieranGarland]

Never got a torque setting from a Sinnis manual. Or the office, for that matter.

[@spicy110]

To my understanding, the factories don't offer these specs to the sellers so you won't get them from many Chinese brands. It is something I am addressing with them to change in the future. However this isn't the end of the world common sense will see you good if you are experienced in mechanics.

[@twiggasaur]

THE FUCKING SOUND OF THE BIKE WITH NO EXHAUST HAHAHAHAHA

[@CalgonDunbar]

Changing from the standard 15T to a 16T sprocket do you need to change the chain length at all?

[@spicy110]

+Calvin - Gaming - CSGO no should be fine you have adjustment on the rear.

[@Adjustlfy]

spicy next time you get oil on your hands from fixing your bike spray wd40 on your hands and rub them together use kicthen roll to wipe ur hands and do it a few times and then just wash ur hands like normal with washing up liquid trust me it works a treat:)

[@herecomesthechow7461]

hey spicy where you learn all these man, i wanted to learn as well

[@spicy110]

self taught on bikes but I had resemble mechanical knowledge I picked up through life, brother , dad mates just learnt as I went

cheers man, i wanna to learn these knowledge, so i don't have to pay tones to get my bike upgrade lol it will be a handy skills to have lol

[@Daedalus_UK]

Great Video Thanks :)

[@billys1997]

how much does this cost if you were to get someone else to do it/ can you take them the sprockets, and i assume they will want you to get a new chain aswell? f1 spicey OP, new job ;)?

[@spicy110]

£50 per hr + vat so it depends how fast they work

[@billys1997]

or how fast they drink coffee and talk eh ;P, applied for a apprenticeship at Suzuki so i hope i can do all this stuff myself xD, obviously you don't need to be a bike mechanic to do this sort of thing but it'll be nice to know that i done it perfect, bit of a perfectionist if i'm honest

thanks for that spicy.

[@jackjones429]

Good video dude :)

[@YouTubeSupportTeams]

take the head apart to remove egr gasket?? maybe you don't know an awful lot.. it's a £5 gasket made of steel, all you do is place it between the metal egr pipe and the cylinder, replace stock bolts and you're done. Takes 2 minutes. if you upgrade to a different filter you can plug carb vacuum hose with a £1 rapid fit plastic hose blanker or anything else you find lying around that will fit the I.D of the hose. Easy

Hi spicey i have a sinnis Apache and looking for some custom parts any ideas wheres best place!

[@spicy110]

What sort of parts? You will need to be a little more specific. 👍

[@SamPhilipWoolhouse]

@@spicy110 hi mate so like a decent rear sproket as last one broke and all bolts snapped and also my throttle were the kill swtich button is on it keeps moving, what's best way to preveent it from keep turning

[@spicy110]

I take it this bike isn't new, this sounds like a classic case of being worked on by an inexperienced rider. The throttle housing should have a metal pin inside that goes in to a hole drilled in the bars. When the bars are changed to something else you need to drill that hole but many just take the pin out and that's not safe. You will find the throttle housing is on Chinese motorcycle parts online. The sprockets wear and need replacing every year or 2 depending on use but when you change the rear sprocket you should change both sprockets and chain at the same time. If you put a new sprocket on a old chain, the sprocket won't last nearly as long and the chain has a high chance of snapping in time. You can get universal sprockets or find some made by a company like JT they aren't too expensive but they are stronger than stock. The broken bolts indicate that the bolts were not properly torqued up enough and the sprocket was able to move. Also likely the chain was not adjusted correctly for a long time and the repeated impacts from going on and off the throttle will weaken the studs until they shear off. It would be a good idea to get the rest of the bike checked over by someone who "really" knows what they are doing or even a professional. I think this has inspired a video as these are common issues, I wont mention names.
