Thanks for this mate I’m currently I’m fairly new to the motorbike world so this helped a lot keep up the awesome work 👍👌

[@KPHMX]

Great video - i needed the info on which way round the front sprocket goes, plus there were loads of other small tips. Cheers mate

[@ericbenttech2234]

whats the torque on the sprocket bolt? I cant understand what you said! thanks

[@jimmeyer4822]

He said 17mm for the sprocket bolt at 0:45

Take your time take your time

[@davidrehn8835]

hi, do you put in a gear or not when you change the front sprocket? or do you have the gear in neutral and just press your foot down on the rear brake?

[@jaimepalacios788]

60 NM ! Ok thank you.

[@ifeelbeautiful]

This number i was looking for exactly:) saved me from buying a repair manual for this job:)))

I have a 2018 Freeride E-XC (newest model) with 11-48 kit. I am trying to change de 11t sprocket to a 12t but the rear wheel spins when I try to loose the sprocket bolt... any idea if the Freeride E has a different way of getting the sprocket out or anything I’m missing? Thanks in advance :)

[@ChuyCheckz]

Put it in gear

[@Janduin45]

If you're about to change front sprocket on your big KTM adventure bike, the torque on those bikes are 100NM.

[@16507487]

is it ok to do this without a torque spanner? Not sure that I will be able to gauge how tight 16Nm is but I have all the other tooling.

[@NYLONZdotcom]

60, not 16

[@Rick-uy4kp]

44 foot lbs on an English torque wrench. Cheap as hell at Harbor Freight. Speaking of English, I don't gear down a bike if I'm just riding around bushes, tight woods however. Just messin, I love my Downunda Brothers. Cheers mate.

[@bryanharms1181]

I couldn’t hear if he said with it in gear or not when loosening the front sprocket bolt

[@CorrupteddSanity]

Same here. I turned on captions and it didn't pick it up either. I'm fairly certain that it shouldn't be in gear. Neutraland rear break.

[@rossself5520]

He said “ I don’t like to do it in gear it can damage the gear box internally”

[@jonahdalton6557]

Is it reverse thread?

[@rjones3459]

@@jonahdalton6557 no

[@jonahdalton6557]

@@rjones3459 ok thanks I got it anyway just had to put the chain back on and hold the brake

[@MikeHughesShooter]

Appreciate it, but 16 or 60 Nm. Few times need to slow down in explain a little bit clearer.

[@LoOMleetamus]

I watched this just to get this torque setting and no matter how many listens I have no idea what was said here.

[@dennisdemara8098]

Same…I came to check setting and couldn’t understand….but I’m guessing he said 60

[@davidukus1733]

Please, for anyone changing this, the engine sprocket torque is 60, NOT 16. It is in the manual, and I highly recommend not going for 16 with engine sprocket :))

[@danlzlz8405]

he said newton metres, not foot lbs.

[@The00MOFO]

@@danlzlz8405 yea 60 newton metres, 44 foot pounds
