[@oskarpeet3429]

Honestly the torque specs on the rear sprocket bolts as well as the front sprocket nut as well as the number of links used would make this video really useful. After having just completed this, looking up all these figures would have saved us all a lot of time and effort. A consideration for next time.

[@itsmeericb]

Nice! I found that heating that nut up with torch seems to make it super easy to break the torque.

[@BirdsEyePortugal]

Started watching you 5 years ago. And today I’m a huge motorcycle fan, and love modding my bikes. Most of it I learned from you.. keep it up

[@The3Kway]

7:40 ish: wut. you put the trans in gear and impacted the sprocket..?

[@saltyprocrastinator]

I cringed too...goodbye factory tolerances

[@jonhanson6796]

Looks great...here's a small detail tip for you...buy an extra master link in a different color and put that on...makes finding your master link so easy..also the captive wheel bearing spacers with the captive rear caliper mod makes putting the wheel on very slick.

[@bccapone837]

I thought the last model was high rear axle tourqe at 108flbs, but 137 just seems like madness to me , I'm thinking of sticking with the old tourqe specs because surely they made a slight error there 🤔

[@alpha1k-]

Yamaha recommends measuring the chain slack while the bike is in neutral and resting on the kickstand. Should not be measured with anyone sitting on the bike.

[@saltyprocrastinator]

Yup, that'll make it too tight

[@youneedhost]

Also when using an impact gun try not to used a long extension ...you lose all the power to loosen anything.

[@ravenmoto5948]

I like Black sprockets, I'm glad the S1000rr comes with a Black sprocket. I've weighed one of those sprockets in the past and it is just a very tad less then factory, really saves nothing.

[@iimkushed]

you should do some night rides / night vlogs on both bikes. to see the lights and displays. plus you don’t do many night rides. would be cool

[@apriliaguy4life198]

I put one down on my 2020 R1. I think it should have came that way. It’s geared pretty tall, even for most racetracks. Used an air impact and front sprocket nut came right off. It moved the rear tire back 4mm which will help drive by keeping the front wheel down at the track.

[@motonosity]

Yeah I’m not sure why it came that way. It kinda struggles getting up there

[@apriliaguy4life198]

@@motonosity I’ve never ridden the BMW, is it geared as tall, especially 1st gear?

[@Gunmaker55]

Why is a chain adjuster good?

[@JonnyBoiEvo]

What size is the rear axle nut socket ???

[@hristo633]

Have you thought about trying the new Regina maintenance free chains? As far as I read the new S1000RR should be equiped from the factory with it as it was the first bike it was rolling it out. From January 2021 they said that they will produce for other brands and able to sell it, as now is only BMW specifically. It means no lubrication and no adjusting, since it has a ceramic coating. I think will be awesome to drop the messy chain lubricants and the mess they do at the back of the bike. Cheers and do have great holidays.

[@baderalorayir5236]

I just ordered the new M chain 🕵🏻‍♂️

[@RTK171]

A Rattle gun and a hammer 🛠 is the kiss of death on a motorbike also i noticed you didn't stake the Front Sproket nut do it now????

[@MonstaFreak13]

1/2" impact woulda got that front off no matter if you had the chain on or off. If it being replaced anyway you could have leveraged the sprocket teeth with a flathead or prybar

[@MonstaFreak13]

3/8 drive isnt as strong and you lose torque when you have extensions

[@evinsprague]

[@valbrend9819]

You should add winglet and aero wings on the R1 it will look sick

[@yamipizza8357]

You need a bigger impact if you want to DIY bikes. It will come in handy. Get a milwaukee 2767-20.

[@badass1g]

Also you forgot to do a weight comparison on the new parts.

[@wheeliehutjr]

LOVE this build series I just WON Blondiemotovlogs giveaway R1 and will be doing some of the things you have done to this R1 to mine I also have a 2020 R6 and have done some of the modes you did to your 2017 when you had it and finally started a channel because of you and others that have inspired me thank you

[@motonosity]

Congrats! That's awesome!

[@half_blaked33]

Did you use the washer for the rear axle nut when you installed the chain adjusters?

[@Different-Level]

I installed a similar gold chain and sprocket on my R1, the thing pulls like a freakin' freight train, it's quite unbelievable. I feel like Mr Potato Head about to have his arms ripped off by brute force

You didn’t add a link for the front sprocket, I was hoping to get the same one you got, could you add a link?

[@rekoreckless368]

Did he use the same size front sprocket? And just change it to a supersprox front sprocket?

[@JesseFlannery]

Do you not need to put that sprocket cover back on the rear sprocket before putting on the new black one? I noticed it did not go back on. Does anyone know?

[@Yettee0201]

Lesson learned in removing that sprocket. Impact wrench vs Impact driver there is a difference, right tool for the job

[@AdryDoic]

are there no issues with Yamahas TCS or SCS doing transmission change ??

[@ren7185]

oooh. can't wait the rgb drl on the r1

[@KuroiWhiteNeko]

Been wanting to install new sprocket and chain on my 2019 R1. Did you tighten the sprocket nut to factory manual spec? Forums says it’ll strip at 72 ft lb. some people just use loctite and 35 ft lb.

[@motonosity]

I saw the same. The nuts were locking nuts so I just did 30 or 35 I think. It felt dangerously tight at that so I didn’t go any more.

[@mauricejohnson4472]

What power wrench did you use to get that front sprocket off?

[@HighGrade_FireBlade]

How did that rear sprocket hold up for you? I’ve seen a few reports of the steel portion separating from the aluminum portion with those superlite sprockets. Curious at how yours worked out.

[@jakemelchionna9136]

Question for motonosity, do you have a service or repair manual other than what came with the bike for the 2020 R1? If so where can I get one because I can not find one. Thanks again for all the great videos and useful info.

[@christophermurrell7337]

Vortex make sprockets in black. i have them! look sick!

[@sendit2873]

man you never ever put the bike in gear and pull against it to loosen the nut you can break or stress crack gearing and if it comes apart at 140 and locks the bike down you are in big trouble and you will never know if you cracked it unless you split the engine case and magnaflux the components hopefully you got lucky

O-rings will probly be flinging outta the chain in a week but🤷🏼‍♂️ liv&learn idk actually coulda been bcause mine was extended chain at that time yet o-rings tend to fling out of alot of these. Be meticulous with dupoint chain lube and might prolong

[@ethanher1683]

Ima few hours late. I’ve never clicked out of your old video to this video this fast before.

[@Tiqerboy]

I made the same mistake on the front sprocket. I said "the one that's there is good enough" and that was that. Not sure why you went to all that extra trouble, after all, you didn't change the number of teeth on the front. And given how new your bike is, I can't imagine there's any wear to speak of on the front sprocket.

[@kornboy22]

i think he went to a 520 pitch chain and rear sprocket. because stock is probably 525 he had to change the front sprocket to match. the lower pitch is supposed to be lighter so there is less unsprung weight

[@Tiqerboy]

Makes sense, my only remaining question, I noticed Motonosity used Fry Riding's fat ass to adjust the chain tension. Fry Riding looks heavier than Motonosity, LOL

[@kornboy22]

@@Tiqerboy Yea I noticed that too. The way I do it is to put the bike on the side stand and then I measure the chain slack at the bottom horizontal part of the chain half way between the 2 sprockets at the loosest point of the chain. Normally the manufacturer recommends somewhere between 45 to 25mm. When you measure the distance lift the chain up as high as possible then pull it down as far as possible. Measure the gap between the top of the chain at both points.

[@tobyrempel8952]

Wow it's actually a good idea to make the r1 to a knight rider r1. Then you can call him kit😉

[@KickinItWithQ]

Great video man! Definitely good to see this process done. Very helpful video

[@chaoticend27]

Did he say he upgraded his 2020 R1 to 15/43? Or Stock front 16 and upgraded 43 rear?

[@isbeartlh]

Only touched the rear from what I gathered. Stock front 16 and 43 rear (+2)

[@juliocolon2424]

4:50 actual point of the video

[@jieevo]

Great video again, but I just want to point out 1 thing, lightech strongly suggest 100NM MAX on the rear axle nut. Otherwise you can cost other side of the axle flange to spin and brake the chain adjuster. (It has happened I have seen photos from lightech USA. )

Did you 15/43?
