Installing New Chain & Sprockets | GSXR1000R Build

[@andywilliams7510]

Revisited this video to check I'm doing things right? Bought a Venhill set because of this, excellent bit of kit worth every penny although when flaring be careful to not over do it otherwise you crack the chain pin and have to get a spare link piece! Will I ever learn, doh!!

[@motorcyclegarage2307]

I am glad that Wheels Motorcycles are being good to you. I get my Aprilia Tuono serviced there and live close by - And always try to support them

[@LambChopRides]

Thanks Brandon lovely bike with the mods isn't it! 👍👍

@@LambChopRides oh absolutely, I've never actually had a full exhaust always a SO. But that predator note is so crisp, and with our auto blip omg. I had never heard of Brocks, until your channel. So thx for turning me onto that. I literally laid in bed, watched your channel, next day went out and dropped 14k on the 1000R, then watched the mods, and said well why not.

👍👍🇨🇦. Great vid, great timing. Just bought an Honda AT and haven’t had a chain driven bike in a while. It was nice to get a refresher. Cheers!

[@mjonji1281]

You've gotta appreciate that rear hugger. Gorgeous bike mate.

[@dejakes3122]

Great vid again Chops, love your garage series, was a bit surprised you didnt go for a tooth less on the front sprocket, usually does wonders on a bike, the gearing feels more natural I would say (they use a bigger front one for the sound homologations i've been told), made a huge difference on my tuono...

[@LambChopRides]

I normally do but Suzuki have the gearing spot-on on this. Any shorter and would be too rev happy on the motorway 👍

[@frank9392]

Great video again. Love the GSXR 😚

[@10secondsrule]

I actually really like it without lower fairings (bar it’s a bit messy) Also carbon or black front and rear fenders are a must to make it look more classy less chintzy;)

[@contactcarlwilson]

Thanks for another great video, one of 2 channels I watch on the day of release. Thanks.

[@LambChopRides]

Thanks 👍

[@motozest7856]

Love the bling! You should check out Supersprox, they make some of the best lightweight sprockets on the market (they're called Stealth, steel teeth and aluminum core) and they also sell RK chains (including the GB520XSO, GB525XSO and GB530XSOZ1 arguably the best chains on the market right now).

[@gregbonham8659]

I have a Stealth rear sprocket on my S4RS, great quality.

Hey love your video keep the good work up ,I have a 2011 Gsxr-1000 and am thinking to change sprocket and chain 16 fron and stock rear need your advice?

[@Alien937]

What! No titanium sprocket nuts and sprocket hub bolts 😳 With around 180bhp at the wheel, I wouldn't go fast touring on it, you will be adjusting the chain a lot! with the renthal rear sprocket, even though it is Hard anodized

[@thebingleywheeler]

Bloody excellent!

[@Max-dj5qj]

Looks tight a*f****!!! Looking forward for next episode 💪

[@LambChopRides]

Yes it's a bit tight but needs to be as QS works better when its tighter. But it's a fraction too tight your right

[@86andyw]

Best to still grind the pin heads off anyway. Less stress on the tool. I. Bet you put a bar wrapped in a towel through the rear wheel to crack the front sprocket nut.

[@LambChopRides]

Yes I did, was super tight two man job really..

[@marksimpson5218]

I don’t push the pins out, I just use a cutting disc & cut the chain in half.

[@Wazatsc]

funnily enough i've just done mine, mind you with the help of my brother. Went one tooth less on the front and now the bike feels amazing.

[@kennethengstrom9261]

[@motorcyclegarage2307]

Just about to do my Ducati ST2 - so very useful - Thanks mate.

[@HalfdeadRider]

Best invest in an impact driver mate, I had a nightmare last time I done it, for this time my impact driver should make it much easier, get impact sockets too :) Also I would always grind the pin with a Dremel, even if using an expensive chain breaker, all can break without doing so, but why make it harder on yourself and the tool.

[@LambChopRides]

Yes both great tips, need an electric impact driver great idea! Also top tip on the chain splitting as still hard even with the tool. I will grind it next time I do one anyway

[@HalfdeadRider]

@@LambChopRides 😀👍

[@HalfdeadRider]

I would check to see if dry lube is okay with this, I'm pretty sure it's not advised on street bikes. On XS ring chains you must use chain oil, no dry lube or chain wax.

[@LambChopRides]

Good tip will check that out 👍

[@HalfdeadRider]

@@LambChopRides I have AFAM chain and sprockets to fit to my bike, they say only use oil based lubes so I got some Rock Oil chain lube. It's supposed to reduce fling so less mess, needs leaving at least 20 mins before riding so solvents can evaporate.

[@mrcintheuk4641]

So glad to see a video on a diy "simple" job where as usual nothing is ever simple! How many times is there an instruction to just undo a nut and an hour later you're still struggling and the cavalry is called in! 😖 Perhaps invest in a bit of camera lighting for the channel? 👍

[@LambChopRides]

Thanks Michael, yes problem was camera was on the wrong setting for the start of the video. Very dark isn't it. Won't happen again sir 👍

[@russellgoodban7068]

Get some lightech chain adjuster blocks. Proper quality, proper sexy. Quite cheap for what they are.

[@ragerider6283]

Good vid & more interesting than I thought it would be lol. Although it did look a bit of a ball ache but the chain & sprockets looked really good fitted in the end. Although I'm concerned you may be turning in to a bit of a bling tart. ; )

[@LambChopRides]

Haha guilty!! 😆

[@tommoso55]

Well done that man...

[@cornish_boy6235]

Did you not flare the split link? I’ve got a d.i.d x ring chain and once I’d put the plate on you then flare the pins to make sure it doesn’t come off.

[@LambChopRides]

Yes it's been flared, that final shot is with the flaring. I have since the video done it a little bit more however 👍

[@cornish_boy6235]

Don't want to say anything but you should have used Whale tool and not alpha tool on sigma chain. Just saying.

Hi there chops, I am fitting exactly the same chain and sprocket set up as yourself, could I ask you did you pean over the rivits on the link?, I got my chain and sprockets from B&C express and they came with a solid rivit link, unfortunately I now have had to puchase a Whale tool to pean over the solid rivit link DOH!, I am not to sure in your blog which rivit link you used, a hollow or solid link?, I was told by B&C express that the Sigma chain only uses the solid link to connect the chain and not a hollow link, any advice gratfully accepted.

[@LambChopRides]

Yes I did, the final shot is me peaning it. Sorry should have pointed that out in the video

Nice work chops! Looks pretty mint, nice work, you do need to do something about those chain adjusters though, maybe some nice lightech blue or gold adjusters?

[@alanhassall]

It was difficult for me to tell, but it looked like your chain adjusters were adjusted quite a ways out. Should the chain been a link or so shorter to allow for more adjustment in the future? I'm not a fan of chain drive and ride mostly shaft and belt driven bikes. Perhaps when the chain begins to stretch, it is worn out.

[@russellgoodban7068]

Think that front sprocket was tight? I had to use an 21 inch breaker bar on my speed triple oil filter after the dealers over tightened it. Got proper scared it was going to shear off Lol.

[@mike216ism]

I did some chain cleaning and noticed my front sprocket has two teeth broken off. I'm guessing the quick shifter. Anyone else have your current get gsxr 1000r with broken teeth? Amazing bike. Crappy heat treatment on the sprocket

[@nicenow25]

Hello chops, I have that teng tools torque wrench. Handle is a bit small though lol. Good on you mate. The water pump, the sprocket, some piping and the chain look grim so all this your doing is great and Suzuki should have given better quality parts but other than that fuckin great video. Give spicy the sprocket mate and make a clock out of it haha!

[@LambChopRides]

It's a good bit of kit, I know your not supposed to use them to undo stuff but was the longest wrench I have lol 😆
