Simple to the point video and shows just what you need. Cant tell you how many videos on youtube I have watched that where completly useless.

[@zsinormotors]

You're Welcome man! ;)

[@orion310591RS]

It says 20mm up down, does that means 10mm up and 10mm down? You adjusted it to 40mm in total, 20mm up 20mm down.

[@alphaforce6998]

orion 310591 Yeah you are correct. The video was not correct in measuring the freeplay.

[@dantenel8705]

The best video on chain adjustment on KZbin. Straight forward with no unnecessary prattle. Thank you.

[@saifmuslim9376]

Absolutely to the point and no time waste at all. thanks for sharing

[@zsinormotors]

You're Welcome! ;)

[@BUZZK1LL2000]

This is actually the best instructional video I have ever seen oh my god...

[@zsinormotors]

Thanks:)

[@swill369]

Exactly what I was after. Makes a nice change from the usual 10min+ chatty vids out there. Simple and easy to follow. Thanks!

[@Hexabscond]

I'm subscribing because THIS IS HOW YOU MAKE AN INSTRUCTIONAL VIDEO DAMN IT!

[@zsinormotors]

Thanks man, really appreciate it!! ;)

[@mjones410]

Thanks a lot Zsinor Motors, I just made the adjustment on my Honda Wave, it no longer has a chain rattle under load. I'm dropping a tip in your paypal now.

[@zsinormotors]

Thank You Matt! Really appreciate it! :)

[@kevinbourke4038]

Yes indeed, thankyou. The vernier measurement, - professional practise. Greetings from Melbourne, down under.

[@alanmckenna9987]

This video helped me so much. Much appreciated mate. Chain came off while in the middle of nowhere. Thankfully, in luck as I had those exact tools with me in the bag. Without this video i would have been clueless!

[@zsinormotors]

Alan McKenna :) You're welcome!

[@treborniknar]

VERY well done. Best video I've seen on this procedure. Actually the best video I've seen on ANY procedure. This video should be used as instruction video on how to make "how to" videos!

[@jackdaknife]

Mate thanks so much for this, made it so simple. Every other video is with some 1000cc bike and a 10 minute introduction followed by power tools and not hand tools. THANK YOU!

[@TachySteve]

Subscribed! I just watched 10+ instructional videos and they are confusing with words. This is the same setup as my CBR300R which is a bonus! Awesome how-to!

[@squidbillie11]

thank you so much man! had looked at other videos about chain adjusting but they didn't really give me the confidence to do it myself. after watching this it took me 5 minutes and the bike feels SOOOOOOOO much better!! thanks bro

[@johnmandingo5990]

then you did it wrong...read my other comments...

[@4drhtrd812]

Not a word spoken, but clear as a bell instruction. Well done.

[@Chaoslava]

Super helpful video. My bike was filthy but I managed to do it in about 15 minutes despite my cheap Halfords spanner snapping as soon as I tried to undo the wheel axle nut! The trick to measure the distance between the end of the bolt and the nut is way better than the markers, in my opinion.

[@sparklebudgie]

Excellent no nonsense informative video. Many thanks ❤

[@martinarmer240]

What a superb video. Thanks for just showing what to do.

[@thirstyfun1991]

Finally a video that straight to the point

[@daveii20]

I'm going to do this tommorow on my Honda CBR 125 R did it once before. This video gives me a good look into how the system works. This is a good and short video 10/10! :)

[@balrajbalraj7547]

very well explained, these days local mechanics work unprofessionally. The way you used Vernier and other measurements are usually not followed by the mechanics. Thank you.

[@zsinormotors]

Balraj Balraj Thanks man, appreciate it!

[@curtgottler9961]

Shouldn't the chain movement be checked both up and down, not just upward?

[@lucaslewis7582]

phenomenal video saved me alot of money!

[@dylan_uo9619]

Thank you. Just followed your guide as shown. This is a lot more simple than i thought. 👍👍👍

[@JohnSmith-ch9lp]

Good straightforward video.

[@Daedalus_UK]

I thought you might use a torque wrench at the end but you did not. I found that most long time mechanics just use feel like you did. You even used a caliper. I guess you checked the bolts before hand to ensure the length. Perfect video and the best I have seen on dealing with the chain.

[@yorkshiregromsquad1276]

The tool he used for the depth of the bolts is called a depth gauge I use them at work all the time and well worth the money for a decent set

[@toddboden972]

What tool is that that he used for the starting bottom measurement. Thanks!

[@JakeRobinsonn]

my chain was hitting my centre stand it was that loose, all sorted now, thank you!

[@zsinormotors]

+JakeRobinsonn You're Welcome!

[@ripmax333]

Very good informative video the only thing missing IMO is the torque Value of the rear axle Nut.

[@blobblob7647]

Awesome vid man, your shots were brilliant!

[@marklevy9]

Thanks for the video. 2 questions 1. I thought you should check and adjust the chain when both wheels are on the ground? 2. What is the name of the tool you used to check the bolt lengths on the swing arms please?

[@m602k9]

vernier caliper

[@toddboden972]

What did you use to measure the bottom part? That steel rod piece.

[@gerryhasell7828]

Was concerned about tackling this routine task myself, but you have made it look very easy, thank you

[@raymond_luxury_yacht]

whats the name of that tool you use to measure the bolt lenght?

[@evelynjorge3382]

Dam I understood more of this than from the videos of people who actualy talked , mans didnt even say one word

[@bazejpszczoa8665]

Że strony tłumika tylko luzuje się śrubę koła?

[@smidge146]

What is the little ruler with the sticky out bit? Been looking for one of those.

[@AshishCE-i3r]

please advice both side of screw are of same size in every bike if I go with this method Thank's

[@stephenboswell2485]

Do you have to loosen both axle but or just the one on the left

[@TheHungrySurgeon]

This was a huge help, thanks man.

[@JasonRobbins71]

With measuring the lengths of the adjuster rods is that always going to be exactly the same if the wheel is square? I assume it's just a more accurate way than using the adjuster marks on the side of the swing arm?

[@ph4tm4t86]

Again excellent vid, do you have one as clear as this on cleaning out the carb

[@mattmartin1529]

do you need to do both sides? at the start?

[@JohnDoe-qx4eo]

what is that metal rod you use under the bike chain when you lift up the chain?

[@toddboden972]

My exact question. Guess it will be a mystery. Lol

[@aarondavies9642]

Thank you great help do you have one on how to change cbf 125 handle bars

[@JamScottMusic]

Hi! What is the ruler/tool thing you use to check each side? I can’t seem to find it anywhere.

[@mts.almeida7]

Vídeo excelente! Vc nem precisa sequer falar algum idioma pra entender tudo.

[@OhLuckyMan]

short and sweet , thanks

[@drLazyEvil]

Wow, I'm amazing how helpful was it considering there was no narration or spoken word.

[@perhenriksen9113]

Very nice and informative. Same system on my old CB 500 - I suppose I can apply the same method?!?

[@zsinormotors]

I think so. :)

[@perhenriksen9113]

+Zsinor Motors Well - I could :-)

[@charliebritton1135]

Did you only undo the right side wheel Nut ?

[@Mashed_joetatoes]

Awesome video, thanks a ton! Other instructional video makers, take note!

[@johnmandingo5990]

nope..read my comment above. this video is wrong..HIS CHAIN IS TOO TIGHT BECAUSE HE MEASURES SLACK APPLYING FORCE...proof is from a proper bike mechanic.

[@Skeetacus3]

when i loosen the axle bolt on the right the back plates of the adjusting nuts comes off but when i push the tire foward it sticks back in place should i put an allen key to put tension on the chain or what ???

[@joeys2486]

May be a random question but the layout seems the same as my Keeway speed 125, same method apply really? For every turn on the left, match the same amount on the right?

[@kheirymekni790]

very precise you are good bro that was fast and so right

[@westagent]

Thanks a lot for video.it was very usefull for me! 👍

[@Nidox669]

i love you sir thank you

[@stevel2027]

Nice and concise

[@MrFrankParsons]

Really helpful, thank you.

[@zsinormotors]

+MrFrankParsons You're welcome! ;)

[@weilerz]

perfect video man!

[@zsinormotors]

+weilerz Thank You!

[@AlinMadalin23]

How is the measuring tool called? Or what it is exactly ?😊

[@jakubponeta3919]

Caliper

[@paulh7360]

Thank you very much for this

[@techstuff786]

I hope someone will reply back... When I try adjusting the chain slack, I get the wheel straight and the chain at 30mm but the brake rotor bolts grind on the caliper bracket bolt :( What am i doing wrong as the wheel is hard to turn?

[@darktimefreak1678]

I don t get how to measure that MM on my cbf says 25 mm but from what point ? help me out please? :D THanks i m a noob at these mechanic things

[@kingboodaii7363]

Thanks mate your a legend

[@naithonstray4762]

do you undo wheel nuts both sides or just the right? didn't see you undo left one not sure if it Was cut out of video for time?

[@zsinormotors]

Only the right side. :)

[@gregorybolton6599]

The thread is on right side all bikes u only undew the one side that has the nut as theres only 1thread and I've never seen a double sided thread on axles but if you dont ask you wont find out. We've all been there I used to undew both but then realised about the thread situation it's the little things like that that have u calling yourself a thicko if you know what I mean.😂

[@DMRMRT_TR]

very clear video thanks

[@racoon97-07]

Thanks a lot !

[@TheExcessivemhz]

Perfect job

[@zsinormotors]

+Kashif R thanks

[@tobsibern]

Can u do this with your bike standing on the ground and not elevated?

[@zsinormotors]

Nope.

[@mr.ajayjose]

Very informative! Just a quick question. I own a CBF 150 with the chain dirt guard and it rattles quite a lot. When i tried to tighten the chain I noticed the last mechanic who service it didnt quite adjust the chain index marker equally. So there are 4 marks to fully extended on the left and 3 on the right. Shouldn't it be even on both sides? the mechanic says otherwise?

[@manofqwerty]

I'm having trouble loosening my axel nut. Just too tight to get off with my socket set. Any ideas?

[@toddboden972]

Use a Pvc pipe over your socket wrench as an extender. Works really well. You get more leverage.

[@manofqwerty]

@@toddboden972Can't remember what I did but I assume I managed it in the end! Thanks 😉

[@shaikabdulkhader8078]

hi... we shud tighten the side adjustment nuts before the axle nut right ? or am I wrong ..just a doubt

[@johnmandingo5990]

yes..otherwise it wont slide and you can't adjust...axle nut is loosened FIRST and tightened LAST in this job.

[@shaikabdulkhader8078]

+John Peel thanks for the info 😊

[@tomallo99]

Hey guys, what can i do if i can't loosen the chain and it is really tight? I'm following the instructions and the adjustment nuts are suddendly moving freely when i want to provide more slack.

[@tomallo99]

Alright, i figured out that I just didn't loosen the axle nut enough, and becouse of that chain coldn't move. Great video!

[@robsonenduro3316]

technically it's better to put some tension on the chain when adjusting these nuts but good video anyway.

[@Faravell]

Thanks, very helpfull for me, on my beast cbf 500 :)

[@chriscs9080]

lol cbf 500 is one of the slowest 500cc HAHA

[@mehmetmagden9618]

Thank you

[@stephenlowe777]

Thanks!

[@zsinormotors]

You're Welcome!

[@scott04151966]

this shows nothing on how to move the wheel to tighten do u pull or what

[@toddboden972]

Pull the wheel? Lol

[@adisalmonas]

great help, thanks :-)
