I would recommend a twin ring style or steel on the rear. It is an adventure bike no need for the miniscule weight savings on an aluminum sprocket. The chain and the countershaft will both last longer as well. I always use aluminum on race bikes but not on anything else. The money l save on a steel rear goes into buying the best quality xring chain l can afford. Top quality chains will pay for themselves as the sprockets do not wear out nearly as fast.

Yeah, I already had this Aluminum one on hand (left over from my Duke) or I would have gone back to steel. I love supersprocks too... Might try that next. X and W chains are worth the $$$ that is for sure. Wanted to give this Primary Drive chain a shot just to see how it holds up against the DID I have been running.

That rear sprocket was smoked! Definitely good to see someone replace it all and not just the rear sprocket.

Not just a tire guy! I love this video! I'm going to have to do this to my Africa Twin. That bike is just geared way to high. I had it about figured out,and a guy at work confirmed some of the stuff I was looking at. I'm going to start with a 15 being I have a 16 stock. I was looking at that tool,and you have sold me! I'm fixing to get the tires,and all the stuff to do the chain and sprocket. I see a lot of different links for your channel. Is the best one for you if I can get the stuff I need @manybikes? Thanks

That motion pro PBR Tool has been in my tool box since 2005. I LOVE IT and it has changed no less than 70 chains over the years. There are less expensive ones out there... but this tool is worth the investment. I got the aluminum light weight version once... but broke it. For the garage, this is the tool.

I have never seen a sprocket that worn down! I didn’t even think that was possible.

This was the point it started to slip. All good until it got here...

Curious what jack you are using to lift the bike.

Great video, as always! I've got a question: should I lube that new chain before riding? Or do they come lubed enough out of the box? Thanx

@manybikes 4 ай бұрын

They come lubed. But they recommend a clean, lube and adjustment every 500 miles.

Question. I've seen a few people use zipties on the spokes. What is the purpose of doing that? :)

@manybikes 4 ай бұрын

It ties them together providing more strength. It keeps broken spokes in place too.

@ajhertel 4 ай бұрын

Do you have zipties on your wheel spokes?

@manybikes 4 ай бұрын

Yes. Chinese wheels and spokes have been known to come loose. This kees them tied in...

That’s obviously an easy front sprocket to get off , some bikes it’s easier leaving the rear wheel on and braking the “ centre lock not “ and loosening the rear sprocket nuts prior to taking rear wheel off . As you have done ✅ that bike before you obviously know that this is not required.

Yes, this is my 3rd go round. My 950 and 1190 have a folding washer. Still pretty easy.

Haha I have seen people run sprockets that bad before, there answer was just tighten the chain more lol

Why aluminum vs steel?

@manybikes 4 ай бұрын

Super light weight. I should be running steel though... But this bike wears chains out quickly so they are both done at the same time. $120 per set... I am ok with that.
