Wish you uploaded more love this shit . Watching for years and buying my first motorcycle tommorow finally

[@gregorymallory]

Congrats. What bike you getting?

[@Vlamyncksken]

Good on you bro! Which bike will be popping your cherry?

[@SirSpinalColumn]

You gotta answer the people mah dooode. what did you get? My first was a SV650X about 4 months ago.

[@TheDownrightdum]

Got a Honda shadow vlx 400 Been real busy cleaning it sorry for not replying xD

Great video! I bought my mt-07 because of you getting one and how much content you post on them. So far I've had the bike just under 3 months and put 3k miles on the clock. Love the bike

[@maulp0k3r]

Fans have been waiting years for jake to get back on a supermoto. Jake finally finishes supermoto build. Post fz07 videos :')

Thanks for the video! Anytime I work on my FZ-07 I always check to see how you did it 1st.

[@peter05767]

Unfortunately not as mechanically inclined as you are so I paid for a maintenance package. I just had this done at 4k miles and they were surprised they were out of sync. Thankful for them doing their job.

[@bryanbartucci9444]

Maaaaaaaaaan, you make replacing a chain and sprockets look so easy lol. I appreciate your videos since I recently bought a XSR700 and want to do as much maintenance on my own. Thanks again.

[@Radivia]

can you please come over and do the timing on my husaberg dad

[@ArranD1]

For taking the shifter lever off, I just took the wee rubber cover off and undone the bolt behind it, takes the worry out of not putting the shifter on in exactly the same place

[@Need4SteveMoto]

You’re a saint for uploading this. I need new tires and figured I can change out the original sprockets after 40k miles 😂

[@roycoool]

I don't know how but i got addicted to your content man!! waiting like a little kid for a new vid to come out. do more maintenance and mechanics pls! the people of the world deserve to know ;-) id love to learn how to adjust valves if your consider doing a video like this. cheers man!

I think you should put something about the chain and sprocket install in the title. Might help new viewers find you. Good video

[@brockeakin6375]

@ 0:11 you spooked the heck outa me with that one lol! 🤣🤣💀

[@SirSpinalColumn]

this video has been doing the rounds for a while, the guy gets bad target fixation, doesnt counter-steer and runs straight into an EMT truck. He lived though, so rest assured.

[@Tinker3504]

I've owned a lot of bikes but took 2 years off. It finally got to me and picking up a '16 FZ-07 Thursday! I'll be going through your videos to get the links for all the protection(sliders and covers), ECM flasher you used, any air mods(intake/exhaust), and your fender eliminator kit to get me started. (Unless there is a full mod list someone can point me to)

[@MikeSmith-vb8ul]

For the front sprocket you keep the chain on and just put a metal bar through the wheel and rest it on the swingarm. Now work the breaker bar and the front sprocket is off. To tighten it you do the same thing but put the metal bar *below* the rear wheel.

[@danielhowells5235]

Advert for the joker movie before the video started, very apt!

[@TopherMoss]

instead of using WD-40 on the bodywork bushings, maybe try silicone? It probably costs a bit more, but one bottle/can is gonna last a very long time. That way, there's no chance of degrading/damaging the rubber mounts.

[@NielDragon]

Greetings from the other side of the world. BRAAAPPP...

[@boostedreefer1041]

ive never had to grind down the rivets on the chains when using a chain breaker. i just tighten it down till it pops

[@jimmefz3328]

if you use surgical clamps and flexible screw driver (you can get at Harbor freight )you can do the TB sync without taking anything off pretty quickly.

[@oWhiteMonster]

I made my own gauges with clear hose and 2 stroke oil

[@AntaresSQ01]

8:25 I wish it were that simple... On my ER6 we were beginning to give up and getting ready to cut the rounded nut off when we hammered a 26 on it and it finally popped off with a 1.5 METER breaker bar and 2 adult male's weight on it... Surprisingly it came off in 1 piece and left the shaft intact but it was FUZED to the washer which was FUZED with the sprocket, like it was shiny metal clean... We needed chain on, wood log in between the wheel and swingarm AND have the bike in gear...

[@johna6968]

Some heat on the nut first can save a lot of grief if it's stuck.

[@AntaresSQ01]

@@johna6968 that was the first thing we tried, trust me that nut was going no where

@@AntaresSQ01 The hammering on action of the 26mm prob did more to free it than anything else.

[@southsidestunts5472]

I have to do this to my 98 gsxr, did the whole rebuild kit on the carbs and that’s the last thing I need to do.

[@beardedjedi7080]

Tech tip: Change the hub dampers/rubber buffers every time you change the sprockets to keep the wheel from wobbling. Since Gardendick changed his sprockets early for surface rust, he doesn't have to. But, these dampers wearout pretty quickly on powerful bikes.

[@TheGardenSnake]

Those dampeners last waaaaay longer then that

[@beardedjedi7080]

@@TheGardenSnake Oh. My sprockets usually last around 10 to 12k miles and everytime i open the hub, the dampeners are worn out.

[@johna6968]

@@beardedjedi7080 the whole thing is sat solid on a bearing not wobbling on the cush rubbers.

[@Lance_59]

Yeah btw the Jt racing chains I put one on my dirt bike and it snapped because it’s got a lot of weak links in it and not designed right but this was like two years ago so don’t know if they changed the design of it

[@sillyben213]

why did you have to grind off two rivet heads instead of just one?

[@HippoDrones]

Love your garage vids! :-)

[@DeanosRides]

Jake, please can you do a comparision video on the JT vs DID chains... There really isn't any good stuff available and what is out there is VERY contradicting... Ride safe and stay awesome!

[@paulaherring2786]

Deanos Rides DID for the win

[@yamrides4308]

DID all the way, JT I found was cheap and didn’t last. Even with regular maintenance and tend to stretch easily

[@DeanosRides]

@@yamrides4308 My thoughts exactly... Struggling to make my JT chain last, but as you say, stretches too quickly. Need to tension the chain almost every 2 weeks, not even 500kms!

[@MikeSmith-vb8ul]

[@ReeceReardon]

That fuckn truck got me so good 😂😂😂

[@Blitz6804]

I wonder what your mileage was when you did the sync... I just had my bike in the shop to swap out sprockets/chain, and I had them check my sync while they had it. Believe it or not, at only 7.5k, it was off.

[@USMCFieldMP]

Curious as to what you use to clean your wheels. I've got a ton of chain lube built up on mine (22k miles), but luckily I have black wheels, so it's not that noticeable... until I work on it and touch a wheel. I've used the Sonax wheel cleaner on my cars with great luck, but wasn't sure that it'd have the ability to really cut through the grease/wax that is Motul chain lube.

[@johna6968]

Don't use chain lube, use gearbox oil. Paraffin/Kerosene will clear that awful gunge.

[@southerncaliforniafishingl478]

nice vids, good stuff

[@in-duckcho4411]

I want to buy the same paddock stand bobbins as you have. Can you let me know where I can buy it?

[@thinkdunson]

4:35 and if you don't want wd-40 all over your bike... windex works as temporary lube that evaporates and leaves nothing behind. 5:45 the X1R from JT at the 520 size is for up to 600cc. for street use up to 750, at the 520 size, you should use the X1R2. be careful ordering from amazon... if you order the X1R2, make sure that's what you actually get. the 2 is a subscript to X1R on the front of the box. 6:36 i've never ground my rivets down. maybe my tool is better than yours because it has done the job and hasn't broken yet. 8:33 wooden dowel between the chain and sprocket works absolutely fine. you keep saying things like, "you'll never be able to do that", "it's not possible". well, we're not all pampered mechanics with all the fancy tools. as my granddad always said: there's more than one way to skin a cat. ((disclaimer: the part about tools is not actually true... i've always been willing to spend money on tools, but that doesn't make for an interesting story now does it?)) 12:16 if you don't have a caliper, for fuck sake, go buy one. they're not expensive and they have SO freaking many uses. ((case in point, hehe))

😱

[@ronanrogers4127]

You’ll get acceptable performance this way, but if you really want to get it to hum it’s much better to use German flow meters that slip onto the throttle body and measure the actual airflow. It’s what race teams use, and they’re not very expensive. I’ve used it on all my bikes for 20 years and it’s the best way to get super accurate synchronisation. www.amazon.co.uk/STE-Synchrometer-Weber-Dellorto-SYN001/dp/B00DHGX2D6

I have the same chain breaking tool and it goes through that chain no grinding necessary. I already went to 3 chains with it and no damage. Just don't get the cheap chinese tool cuz those will break.
