I havent heard about the controversial part of 890R chain tension. DR650 guys ALWAYS over tighten their chain, the rear cush hub carrier bearings die, the chain wears out, the upper chain roller gets ripped out. To many its a mystery. Tighter must be better than looser. Ive done 51,000 miles on my DR, unbreakable big blue couch of a bike. Nothing has broke during those miles.

Then get mad at me when I go talk to them and quote $100-200 in labor costs. When I've told them "It's a pretty easy thing to do. You can take apart your bike to the motor with the little bag of tools in your tail. So if you have basic hand tools in your garage, it'll be a breeze. Service charges by the hour. SO even if you want just a few things adjusted, you're looking at least $100 and you'll be on the bottom of the que. So depending on when you came in. It's a real possibility you don't get your bike back today." I have customers that own naked bikes and won't even change the oil themselves.

Number one problem home mechanics introduce into their bikes is over or under tightening stuff. Bar clamps, almost anytime I have seen a bike owner install bars their bar clamps are installed wrong.

MC mechanic here. Completely agree with everything in the video. One very small point of constructive criticism with referring to the final drive chain as "stretching" - final drive chains do not stretch along their linear drive plane. What is actually happening to make them appear to have lengthened is the cumulative wear between the rollers, bushings, and bearing pins. The actual measured center to center distance between the pins will stay the same. The only reason I'm even mentioning this is that I've experienced many customers continually tightening their chain under the belief that it is "stretching" when in fact what they are doing is accelerating chain / chainwheel / bearing wear. Thanks for the great vids👍🏻

Use your feel and consider the size of the nut / bolt, how coarse or fine the thread is, and the leverage you're using. In most cases just bottom it out and nip it is fine.

Can't imagine it magically became loose, more than likely someone forgot to tighten it.

Great video, Having owned and ridden just about every type of motorcycle and quad (currently have 28 tires to maintain and counting)for the last 40+ years your info on the front forks is GOLD. Having fork seal issues? Hmm, I wonder. I have 2018 Harley street glide that I have been staring at while riding all these years and couldn't figure out why it looks mildly crooked. I may have the answer now? There is one item that I think is very important to consider when checking chain tension. Once you get the axal, sprockets aligned straight, while having the rear tire off the ground, I'll rotate the tire in small increments to check for tension differences at different spots threw the chain. I have found that the chain tension can very quite a bit as you rotate the tire. (better quality chains may not be a problem) Once I find the tightest point I will make my adjustment there. Once I've retorqued everything, check the tension again. At this point I have also found depending on the tensioner that the chain tension may be to tight and needs to be loosened up a bit. As you have eluded to in your video, this can not be overstated to its importance to engine stresses.

Even if the price is slightly cheaper, just that the hands working on the bike is two different minds. He most certainly deserve that big money. Have more of a piece mind driving the bike when someone who has passion for these bikes and taking care of it well. Trying to learn as much as I can so that I can also do most of these works on my own. Looking forward to learn more. Maybe next time, "How to 12'o clock wheelie your adventure bike" ;) lol! Keep up with the good work.

Perfect and common sense in every aspect all around the bike priority diy maintenance. We cannot always relies in the dealership for something we can manage. Every man who owns a car, is capable of maintenance and work on those parts that wears out from use. Let's put the same effort with our bikes. And like you said, we can go further with confidence that we can attack any situation. And thanks for the shock and axle explanation,. Keep it up mate! Saludos from Puerto Rico.

There’s a load of shite on here with regards to bike maintenance. Breath of fresh air to watch a video with someone who is honest and knows what he’s talking about. So thanks mate. Appreciate it a lot.

Nice video. If you’re gonna work on your own bike, first step is to buy a good torque wrench, service manual, and thread locker. Follow all the published torque specs for everything. Once you trained your muscle memory you can feel how tight to tighten everything even with a rudimentary tool kit on the trail 👍
