R3 Chain and Sprockets

Replacing the chain and sprockets after 30,000 km on a 2015 Yamaha R3

[@jimmytheclean]

this is how you do an instructional video. well done mate.

[@whatszup1206]

Wow new rider here and i am just trying to learn how to do maintenance on my bike. You are a wizard sir! thank you for this video, much appreciated!

[@derekdreyfuss7092]

I want to do my sprocket and tire change and have never wrenched on a bike and was nervous about removing the rear wheel. Thank you for the visual instruction. Keep it up, I subscribed and hope you show me how to raise the rear end

[@meh6953]

Thank you for the Awesome video. I learned alot today from watching you🤔. Great job! Keep the videos coming.

[@1683clifton]

That front sprocket, If you saw mine you'd be puzzled how it was doing the job at all! Don't get me started.😅

[@breakwood8531]

Good idea on the wheel support.

[@MrSuperrajab]

i love these type of mechanical videos

[@cillion5]

Thank you.

[@RTK171]

Only way is to use a link so much better for maintenance . As for the ugly chain derailer that's the first thing I throw out. Chain is a little tight but a great vdo for newbies that want to do there own maintenance nice one .

[@wuvvbernardo9353]

Bike looks crispy 😎

[@오뱀]

Wow I love it your video😍 Thank you for showing me how to repair R3 🙏🏻🙏🏻

[@austinthornton4150]

Glad im not the only one who turns the nut to the left for the slight click noise then begin to tighten it. People give me shit for it.

[@째이티비]

removing and installing the 6 rear sprocket nuts are pain. and if you don't have air wrench, front sprocket will spin with you even though gear put in 1st so turn it fast as air impact wrench. and when installing rear wheel you will need some kind of woods like cillion5.

[@thehouserc7]

This is a great video! Have to replace mine soon so I will be referencing to this for sure. Thanks for sharing!

[@thehouserc7]

What size socket did you need to change the front sprocket?

[@cillion5]

Ricardo Contreras 29mm.

[@pdxsquid]

Good video! Neat idea with the ramp. Is that rear suspension aftermarket?

[@cillion5]

Yes it's an Ohlins unit.

[@simpleman1546]

Most satisfying Video

[@CristianJArias]

thx from Colombia for doing this video

[@cillion5]

No worries.:-)

[@fabriciocuencam.6207]

Será aun mejor que fueras describiendo paso a paso lo que vas haciendo 😀👍

[@nihonkokusai]

Better than mine at 22000km totally worn

[@ricardosepulveda5357]

Que tipo de trabador para el piñón de ataque?

[@ziadrifter7293]

Really good video

[@808zsammy]

I noticed the stock chain does not have a master link? Is there a way to remove it without cutting it? Btw nice video, you should make another on how to replace tires

[@cillion5]

Sam S you have to press out a pin. Chain cutting tools are handy.

[@pv6585]

Great video! Thank you for sharing :)

[@eusebiomark956]

Is that a sprocket from ninja 400? Looks familiar

[@cillion5]

No.

[@eusebiomark956]

@@cillion5 how many teeth?

[@bigwheelsturning]

Are you using the "tool" to push/compress the link onto the pins so the master link will fit? Do the O-rings push the link back out if you don't hurry, or do they stay compressed? This was the "third chain" on this bike?

[@cillion5]

The tool presses the outer plate on the connecting pins. Slight interference fit so the 'x-rings'/o rings can't really push the outer plate off. Yes it's the third chain.

[@bigwheelsturning]

So the holes on the link are just a tiny bit smaller than the pins. Got it. Thanks. Good to see you kept the "safety ring" on the rear sprocket.

[@I55SamS55I]

Brilliant video

[@cillion5]

I55SamS55I Thank you. 😀

[@DoraTheExhaler]

Hey m8 could u tell me the torque spec of the front sprocket nut?

[@elricaguilar6693]

What tools did you use and size sockets

[@tonyynot484]

Whats the torque specs NM on rear sprocket, engine sprocket, and axle?

[@deedle6073]

Rear Sprocket nuts-68Nm/49ft lbs Front sprocket-75Nm/54ft lbs Axle nuts-57Nm/41ft lbs

[@ikeresponteceso6189]

​@@deedle6073Sprocket nuts more tight than the axle nut?? whaaaat😂

[@째이티비]

you the master!

[@ricardosepulveda5357]

Hola me puedes dar el torque del piñón pequeño y del grande. Saludos Calbuco Puerto Montt Chile

[@ikeresponteceso6189]

torque specs on Sprocket nuts??

[@christianarcos4333]

Thank you brother.

[@boeing9782]

What kind of grease do you use on the chain at the end? What kind of sprockets are those? Thanks

[@ninjababyboss]

Thank uou sir..

[@tomatochannel4970]

my good sir i like your vids very educational. one question....can those crazy rings be bought somewhere or is it ok to remove them...? mine is bent after hitting a flying brick...and its an eyesore...Master ! please advise!!!!

[@cillion5]

Phil Lee That I don't know. I assume you're talking about the chain guards around the rear sprocket nuts.

[@erickquerobines384]

I have a question sir. Does your clip type chain as good as an oem in high speed. Coz im planning to buy 1 and i'm worried that it might break coz i've heard stories about clip type chains.

[@fabiobueno4005]

Isn't no problem on cutting the chain after installing it? I noticed by the video that both front and rear sprockets are JT, once front sprocket is 14 teeth and rear sprocket is 43 teeth and the chain is DID, is it right? If you could please tell me the chain specification, so I'll be based on it on my next shop.. Here in brazil the chain and sprockets kit comes with a big part of the adjustment "lost", my kit is 14.000 km now and has no adjustment anymore, so I'm searching hard for a good kit to my next change, so that it don't happen anymore. Thanks!

[@cillion5]

Fábio Bueno I bought the chain and sprockets separately. Chain is DID VX2 with clip link (rivet link was more expensive).

[@fabiobueno4005]

Ok. Thank you!

[@Danishis4fun]

What size bolt are the front sprocket cover? I need to get the tools for it

[@unicornR25]

Hey hi. I'm need torkque values bolts. Can you please on share me ?

[@째이티비]

perfect!

[@matsamuels9197]

Just a quick question. How many kilometres had them sprockets done? And chain?

[@cillion5]

I'm guessing, but about 30-35k. I had already replaced the chain once as factory one stretched fairly quickly. Got about 15 from factory chain and 20 from replacement.

[@darnizel1485]

Hi got a puncture in my rear wheel when fitting wheel back on do I need to check wheel alignment and chain tension and alignment ???

[@cillion5]

darnizel 14 I regularly check that stuff anyway. So yes, it's best to make sure it's all good.

[@matthewmosca3984]

I noticed you left the chain tension adjusters in a way that the rear wheel axle sat all the way forward. Is that necessary to do? I have the axle tightened down and the chain adjusters tight so that exactly 3 lines are showing on each side to align the wheel. Can I size the chain to this and then adjust the tension afterwards?

[@cillion5]

M Modo I have four lines showing on adjusters. With a 112 link chain this provides good chain slack. The adjusters are about half way at this setting. Of course your mileage may vary.

[@meanrianz5646]

What size front sprocket nut?

[@williamtrinidad2009]

How many foot pounds of torque to tie down just the wheel?

[@cillion5]

I think it's about 48. Workshop manual has all that info.

[@christianarcos4333]

do you feel a huge difference??

[@cillion5]

Christian Arcos no, not really. reduction in chain noise and smoother sounding bike. Ratio's are the same.

[@christianarcos4333]

cillion5 I ask because a guy at the dealer ship told me this mod will make it faster.

[@matthewreynolds5023]

you will only make your bike faster if you change the tooth size on the sprockets... if you go with factory sprocket sizes you wont make it faster.

[@aldebaranfernanda5851]

How many mileage do i need to change my sprocket and gear?

[@cillion5]

I think I had about 55000km on the bike when I changed these. I've changed chains about every 20-25000km.

[@senpaibryn6196]

At 9:50 whats the grease you put on the o rings there

[@cillion5]

Grease packet that comes with chain.

[@cristianfranco3278]

I notice you have the Pirelli Diablo tires, can I have your review about them? Are they better than stock?

[@cillion5]

Cristian Franco much better than stock. Feel confident all the way to the edge of the tyre. I'm only getting about 8-9 thousand kilometres on a rear tyre as I commute on this bike. Still worth it though.

[@cristianfranco3278]

Mine came with Michelin which are suppose to be good as well but i don´t feel very confident with them, did you change the size of the tire?

[@cillion5]

No, tyre sizes are the same.

[@stunt514]

Hey what rearsets are those ?

[@cillion5]

Steven Vandeyar cheap eBay ones from China.

[@stunt514]

cillion5 do you by chance have a link? I had got a pair off eBay but it doesn't push back as far

[@mani9389]

good video...

[@cillion5]

Mani kandan Thank you. 😀

[@ilovepizza8263]

Is this a clip master link?

[@cillion5]

Yes. Don't need rivet link. Clip link strong enough for engine size.

[@ilovepizza8263]

@@cillion5 cool thank you.

[@brunofirebird]

Tks man!

[@Prime_BTO]

Mi mt estira la cadena y las tuerce muy rápido

[@PhenomenalRidess]

What size is the socket for the front sprocket?

[@cillion5]

Phenomenal Rides 29mm. Not a standard size in most socket sets.

[@somaisumaplay]

Nice. Tks.

i didn't know that chain link can be use in the r3 ..
