Replacing sprocket and chain part 1 - Honda CB600F

[@TraceursMonkey]

Don`t know if you still watch the comment section . I will have to do the same job tomorrow on my hornet pc 34 and this videos are very informal and straight forward , thanks !

[@DaHitch]

Glad to hear you found it helpful!

[@MatasK]

Had same issue with back sprocket. Went to service with a wheel to take em off

Where to get those crash guards

[@DaHitch]

It's just a regular crash cage for a CB600F, but modified to fit crash bungs. The steel plate was welded in and tapped to mount them.

@@DaHitch hi bro, I am having the same exact issue that you had with those sprocket nuts on the rear wheel. . they are damn tight, won't budge... How did you get them off?

@@DaHitch I just wrecked the last nut . Now the grip on it gone... The socket (19mm) is stuck to it... Don't know what to do now

[@DaHitch]

@@realdaybreaker8013 That's not ideal. I'd suggest copious amounts of WD40, vice grips and a bunch of elbow grease. Other than that you're looking at destructive methods, which risk damaging the studs/thread, such as using a Dremel to cut the nut off. Alternatively you could maybe cut a notch in the nut, and use a hammer and chisel to hammer the nut off. Maybe you could use a nut breaker, but I suspect there's not enough room for that. I would NOT recommend using heat as that will damage the rubber dampers inside the sprocket carrier. If all else fails, take it to a workshop and pay them to do it. Good luck.

What size of chain did you use?

[@MrJimbo1310]

what does changing the sprocket size do again?

[@DaHitch]

Decreasing size at the front/increasing size at the rear increases torque on the wheel but lowers top speed. Increase size at the front/decrease size at the rear reduces torque on the wheel and increases top speed.

[@MrJimbo1310]

Is there a reverse so better top end?

[@DaHitch]

Yes, but it's always a tradeoff. Either your decrease top speed, but increase accelleration (smaller front and/or larger rear), or you get higher top speed, but slower acceleration (larger front and/or smaller rear). When you're changing gears you're always trading in one for the other, if you want both you need a bigger engine. ;)

[@Panchdara]

Let's not forget that the speedometer will be affected too - the pickup is driven off the front sprocket so the speed reading will be way off now too. SpeedoHealer will sort that out.

[@Panchdara]

@ DaHitch - That's why there's the CB900F-x :)

[@diegoperez2912]

Amigo,jamás se usa una dinamométrica para aflojar. Esa dinamométrica no vale ya para dar el par de apriete correcto,está descalibrada. Otra cosa,antes de desmontar cadena,aflojar corona y piñón

[@crankybear1236]

Next bike I will get well definitely be shaft drive 😂

[@DaHitch]

I still own this bike, but I swapped out my daily for a shaft drive as well. :D

[@crankybear1236]

@@DaHitch cool

[@Ladosligese]

so you want more acceleration ? .. on a hornet 600 .. sure ok .. well :D

[@DaHitch]

This bike was used for gymkhana competitions, so top speed was irrelevant, but it needed even more acceleration, even when below 5k rpm where the Hornet can feel a bit lacklustre.

[@MZMotor95]

I'm sorry, I usually restrain from commenting negative opinions, but I cant help it right now. You don't seem to be very good with mechanical stuff, and I would definately consider bringing a friend to help you next time, or maybe let a dealership do this for you, even though chain and sprocket replacement is fairly easy to do. Just my 10 cents on the matter... good luck. Nice bike though! :)

[@vicisrussian]

what a prick

[@DaHitch]

At the time of recording I was a truck technician, so either I was a bit more proficient than you give me credit for or my bosses were incompetent for hiring me. I'm a prototype vehicle technician for the same company now so I guess I must be doing something right. Or, you should feel very afraid when you're driving behind a truck.
