Great video, excellent detail! I will be doing this on my GSXR 750 very soon, I'm almost at 50,000km, it's long overdue!

[@Skipshift]

Thanks! Hope it helped you out 👍

[@bouldernelsonbigfoot]

awesome video

[@Skipshift]

Thanks for watching!

[@lemlem164]

Thanks for the vid! I'm giving it a go soon. My chain is loose at one section and normal in the rest. So I guess it's time to change it. Will be using your video as reference. I have k7 750, black and dark red 😁

[@Skipshift]

Awesome. If you have questions feel free to ask

[@imberialts5505]

Got a k8 are the chain specs and all the same?

[@lemlem164]

@imberialts5505 I don't know unfortunately, maybe @skipshift knows 🤷🏽‍♂️

[@eddiecaban3873]

What was the front sprocket torque spec? I got the speed sensor nut but not the nut for the sprocket itself. Also is this the same specs for a gsxr750?

[@Skipshift]

The front sprocket nut torque is 83 ft-lb. Same on the GSXR750. 👍

[@Arsgawad]

What is the torque spec on the front sprocket nut, before the speed sensor? Also, what length chain do I need for a stock front/ +2 rear for a ‘22 gsxr600?

[@Skipshift]

Front sprocket nut torque spec is 83ft-lb. The speed sensor bolt torque spec is 18ft-lb. For +2 in the rear you should be around a 116 link chain, but the best bet is to get a 120 and trim it to fit to know for sure.

[@jagdeepbrar8157]

can you please let me know the torque wrenches you use and caliper. i have a K8 GSXR 600 looking to go down a tooth in the front sprocket.

[@Skipshift]

I used Performance Tool brand ratcheting torque wrench and digital caliper for this. The torque wrench is part number M200DB, and the caliper is W80152. Hope that helps 👍

[@imasealarparparparp2714]

Hey sir, after doing all of this my clutch stays depressed after I pull it in, I have all the parts on correctly I’m 99% sure, any advice or ideas?

[@Skipshift]

Hmm that is an odd one. The first things that come to mind are the shaft I am turning at around 14:02 in the video. If it isn't engaged with the rod there would be no connection between the clutch and lever. Also the arm that connects the clutch cable and that shaft would be another possible culprit.

[@imasealarparparparp2714]

@@Skipshift the shaft is engaged, but I noticed that the clutch cable holder isn’t line up with the spline it connects to. It’s off by only 1 tooth, do you think that would be the sole cause? Thanks for the response. I would try to test it myself but the head of the bolt came off so now the screw is stuck in, if it’s a different problem I’ll just leave the bolt in before I put myself through torture or lose money.

[@Skipshift]

@@imasealarparparparp2714 if the bolt that pinches the splines on the cable arm is what snapped it may have let it slip the splines. That could be the problem. As for the arm being out of position, you might have enough room on the top and bottom clutch cable adjusters to make up for the arm position. If it was the bolt that I mentioned before, I'd be cautious about riding it without replacing it. If it was to slip a spline or jump a tooth while riding that could be a bad day. Hope you can get it resolved without too much trouble.

[@imasealarparparparp2714]

@@SkipshiftI got it sir, if anyone else has this problem make sure that the marks on the spline are lined up exactly with the marks on the cable clutch holder. Mine was off by just 1 spline and it didn’t work, moved it centimeters over to be exact and all good now. Appreciate the video again sir

[@Skipshift]

@@imasealarparparparp2714 I'm glad you got it figured ou! Thanks for sharing your solution for others that may run into that. Ride safe 🤘

[@jayjohnson7245]

This camera is at a bad angle..can see anything

[@branjay1997]

What do I do if someone stripped the Allen bolt out before I bought the bike? 😐

[@Skipshift]

That's a tough one. You can try getting some vice-grip style pliers on it and see if that works. It may have to be drilled and maybe a screw extractor will get it loose if they didn't overtighten it.

[@isaacchris7600]

I just cleaning my sprocket under the cover and now I put everything back the clutch doesn’t have pressure what’d I do wrong.

[@Skipshift]

I'd start with double checking the cable is reattached properly and the arm aligned correctly. If that all looks good I would take the cover off and make sure the clutch push rod is in place.

[@isaacchris7600]

@@Skipshift will do thank you sm

[@SSGGRINGO]

Hey do u have a link for that rear sprocket? I tried to order mine 3 different times and they keep sending me a 5 nut one instead of the 6 nut one i need

[@SSGGRINGO]

I have a 2004 gsxr Suzuki 600 im going 47 in the back and 15 in the front

[@markxlr8s]

What does changing the sprokets do ?

[@Skipshift]

The sprockets will wear as the chain stretches and dirt and road debris get rubbed against them. It's a good idea to change the chain and sprockets at the same time because putting a new chain on worn sprockets will cause the chain to wear and stretch faster

[@gemilardoinaciobonze5165]

Can you please let me know the correct number of rear sprocket for GSXR 600?

[@Skipshift]

I sure can. What year is the motorcycle?

[@gemilardoinaciobonze5165]

It's 2008

[@Skipshift]

@@gemilardoinaciobonze5165 The original sprockets on that bike were a 16 tooth front, and 43 tooth rear. The chain should be a 114 link 525 o-ring chain also.👍

[@gemilardoinaciobonze5165]

Ohh ok thank u a lot. So now may I use 15 tooth front and 45 tooth rear?

[@Skipshift]

@@gemilardoinaciobonze5165 You definitely can. Keep in mind your speedometer will be off a bit and you'll have to keep that in mind while riding, or get what's called a speedo healer to correct the gauge reading.

[@rongeezyadaddy]

does anyone know how i can stop the back wheel from spinning? i guess he had it in first gear?

[@Skipshift]

To break the sprocket nuts loose you either need someone to hold the rear brake, or put it in 1st gear.

[@rongeezyadaddy]

@@Skipshift thanks 💪🏼💪🏼

[@imasealarparparparp2714]

If you already took the rear wheel off first, you can pull the old chain hard in the opposite direction to stop it turning
