[@adoptableplum]

loving the fine use of 2 extensions.

[@jeremiahbanks175]

thanks for info just got my sprocket thanks to you

[@avidtv123]

Ur gonna love it

[@383mazda]

Thanks for the video man, I'm going to tackle this on my GS500 tomorrow.

[@Chocobo18]

Damn that's cool, no gloves, only a scott towel and a cigarette hahaha thank you a lot for the video i do own a GS500F

[@bebop46]

Your video was straight forward. Amazing how others make this so complicated with special tools and rear wheel removal! Thanks!😀

[@harmonix6368]

nice vid, gonna try this on my GS500E

[@jayarchitect]

thanks for the tutorial...

[@troyholland3436]

Bro I put a 15tooth front sprocket I didn’t notice a huge difference it has a little more torque but nothing crazy u recommend me putting a 14 or 13 tooth on it? Or would that make it too much torque ? I still wanna keep a good top end too

[@avidtv123]

The lower u go the faster it will rev but ur top speed will decrease

[@troyholland3436]

@@avidtv123 oh so it doesn’t really give it better torque just makes it rev a little better ?

[@SaumBodhi]

Isn't it the opposite? More teeth more torque? Less teeth more top-speed?

[@martin_gomezperez]

@@SaumBodhithe final ratio depens on the front and back, if you add a tooth in the front its similar to remove 3 in the back more less, and in the oposite way as well. its all about the final ratio betwen the sprokets. if you put less tooths in the front you have more torque, if you add tooths less torque and more max speed. sorry for my english

[@ikermendo1578]

Great upgrade!. How do you feel the speed improvement in 6th gear? Is it running good but slightly less rpm? Or do you feel a bit lazy? Thanks mate

[@avidtv123]

I feel like the bike should have been like this from the start lower rpm at Cruz and still has power through 6th

[@ikermendo1578]

@@avidtv123 Thankyou for your reply. I will try this upgrade on mine's asap. Thx

[@ajaugusto8]

The 18 T was better for freeway commute. Too bad they don't make it anymore

[@mentor7796]

Bonzer tutorial! Did you find 1st gear to have longer reach too?

[@avidtv123]

Yes it makes the bike run the was it should

[@troyholland3436]

I have the same bike 2009 it just hit 20k miles is that high?

[@avidtv123]

no that bike can run forever

[@SaumBodhi]

Any idea what the torque specs are on these case bolts? (Front sprocket case)

[@kaia6590]

I don't think it really matters. I just torque them to the point where they're tight. A few thousand KM driven and they haven't come loose.

[@SaumBodhi]

@@kaia6590 yeah i just didnt want to break them. But i did just that and all is well.

[@johncostin4475]

There's no specific torque. Just use a speed brace as they give you excellent feel.

[@deansigman6099]

Lol I went the other way. Put a 15t on instead of the stock 16.

[@avidtv123]

Yours will rev quick wheelie easy

[@deansigman6099]

@@avidtv123 acceleration is amazing and a lot of fun. However, its around 5400 rpm at 60mph so its a little much. Might go back to stock.

[@avidtv123]

@@deansigman6099 YA I FEEL LIKE THE 17 TOOTH IS THE WAY IT SHOULD HAVE BEEN MADE IN THE FIRST PLACE

[@troyholland3436]

Hey man I’m really worried I got the same bike and I’ve noticed when ever I’m in 5th gear right after I shift into 6th it will some times rev up super high like something is getting stuck after I shift I think it might need a new clutch it over all shifts pretty smooth but it does that some times is that normal?

[@avidtv123]

It should only rev up when given throttle or down shifting going from fifth to sixth the rpms should not go up but go down

[@troyholland3436]

If I get a 15 tooth do I half to adjust the tire of shorten my chain?

[@avidtv123]

Same chain move tire

[@troyholland3436]

@@avidtv123 so With the 15 tooth I’ll have beftee torque but less top speed?

[@avidtv123]

YES LESS TOP SPEED MORE TORQUE TO WHEEL@@troyholland3436

[@troyholland3436]

@@avidtv123 ok how often you recommended cleaning the air filter ? I put a new one on it recently and put about 700 miles on it with the new filter you recommended me clean it soon?

[@avidtv123]

IF U RIDE IN THE DIRT I WOULD CHECK BUT 700 MILES IS NOTHING DONT WORRY ABOUT AIR FILTER BUT TO KEEP CARBS CLEAN I PUT LUCAS FUEL ADDITIVE IN WITH GAS EVERY FILL UP@@troyholland3436

[@johncostin4475]

Bloody hell......shifter arse about on the axle nut and barely tight on reassembly. Chain way to tight. I've seen enough to make me loose sleep😮

[@IRQ1Conflict]

Good job buddy! What RPM's are you seeing at 60mph? Also, does your bike have a snatchy throttle? Mine seems to come on to abruptly.

[@avidtv123]

My rpms are around 4800 at 60. Put some wd40 down the inside of the throttle cables.

[@foaley77]

@@avidtv123 what was the rpm on the 16 tooth?

[@IRQ1Conflict]

Iirc about 5000-5100 RPM. My main issue is the secondary vibration from the 180 degree crank. I'm buzzing after an hour of riding without a break.
