Watched a couple of other chain rivet how-tos videos. This one is easily the most thorough and clear. Thanks for helping us old-school "clip type" guys get up-to-speed on rivet type.
This man is the best when it comes to motorcycle how to videos.
Thank you for all the videos/information, much appreciated!
Thanks for thoroughly explaining how you "get away with" two chains to one set of sprockets. I've always heard replace both and still agree with that in general however the way you stated everything made complete sense! Also have never heard the 16 pin/10.1 in. measurement. This was great! Thanks for the vid!
This is best explanation on youtube on chain replacement especially riveting process. Thank you
Finally a video that properly shows how to get to it... thanks a bunch!
Every single question I had in my head answered in this vid. Thank you so much
This is the best chain install video on youtube, and there are hundreds..
I would say this is one of the best video riveting the masterlink on the chain. I'm very particular with my work and I like the idea of using a caliper on the rivet flare and so with the exact measurement of the chain width.
I also like the caliper measuring. I have a tendency to crank things down within an inch of it's life but now I have a specific value to hit I'm sorted!
Hello Canyonchaser, your a true professional thank you for your time. I would want my son to learn from some one like you :)
This is absolutely the BEST chain swap video I've ever seen. Changed a few chains over the years but never even thought about grinding off the pin flares!
Dayum... Subscribed.
Thinking of getting back on a bike, for commuting, after about 15 years off. Nice video. A few little tips to remind me the way it should be done. Thanks guys, keep up the good work.
The best and clearest instruction yet. Thank you.
The best explanation on youtube. Excellent!
Outstanding tutorial!!! I used this video to install my new chain with no issues. Thank you!!!
Best video I have seen on how to do this.. I've been doing it for over 40 years without the Internet but it's great to get a refresher course from someone who really knows what he's doing. Keep up the good work!
Excellent step by step instructions. Other videos skip the chain riveting tool process and measuring steps. Thank you!
Excellent Video been 40 years since owned a chain drive ride .. Thanks for helping this old man ..
Super clear instructions and so professional- Great job.
I just watched like 4 videos on how to change motorcycle chains and this is by far the best
This is the best video tutorial I have come across
Totally agree with Chet, super detailed explanation and very helpful for my 1st time chain install.
Thanks much!
Nice clear instructions, thanks. Just ordered a new chain and gonna fix on soon.
Thanks for sharing this, it's a great little tutorial
I have the same tool which I recently bought and had never used.
Thanks for the tutorial, I followed your lead and it all worked out fine
Great video and explanation of how to do this professionally, thank you for sharing
Dave--As always, very informative! Thanks for posting...
best video I've seen on the subject
Super well done. I saw many videos that do not use the tool properly, or do not explain the flare pin.
Best chain video yet! Only took 5 of em to get here! Thanks!
The best chain replacing lecture I've found anywhere on the internet. Thank God I found this video before I started popping rivets and breaking links. The digital micrometer caliper could save you damage, or your life. More specifically, as outlined in the video, the width of the master link plates and diameter of the newly mushroomed rivet. If you can't understand those instructions you'd be better off taking it to the dealer or MC mechanic. Even if you do use a mechanic I'd still get a digital micrometer caliper and double check the measurements on the newly mushroomed master link rivets and the link plate width.
Lots of good info, I too am a tool freak and want the best I can buy, but the chain breaker/riveter doesn't have to be the top of the line model from Motion Pro, I bought the entry level model (08-467) because I needed one fast and the motorcycle shop only had that one in stock. I found it performed quite well and it is well built. I'm sure the mid and top models (08-470 and 08-135) are more suited for the day to day use of a motorcycle shop, but for a bike owner who changes a chain once a year or once every two years, the base model will work.
Wow! Didn't know there was so much to these chains. Great video!
Great video. Very detailed and straight to the point.
referring to this video once again as i'm replacing a chain. greatly appreciate!
Great presentation ! That technique to measure riveting mushroom width was useful.
Great video guys, thanks for taking the time to share
Best instructional vid on subject. Well done
This is one of the better chain install vids. One trick I'd like to add is if your front sprocket cover is a pain to remove, you can easily install the new chain without removing the sprocket cover by connecting it to the old one above the swingarm using the new master link. Then pull the old chain below the swingarm until the new chain has rounded the front sprocket and come far enough to grab to connect with the other end. Another thing, the example of the cheapo tool shown, which looks like the Stockton one Cycle Gear often sells for $40, is actually quite good IMO. I've had mine quite a while and it looks like its got lots of changes left in it.
+Ivar The Boneless
The blue box is the same generic tool as the one in the red box. It's on Amazon for 20.
Yeah but its good to just check your sprocket and clean it anyway. How hard can 3-4 bolts be...
Yeah I like to clean the fromt sprocket area up while I'm doing a chain
Thorough, but concise. Thanks! Subbed!
Thanks guys, about to do it on my sv650s, got a clear pic of the steps in my head after looking at your vid.
Chain and sprocket job, That MotionPro PBR kit will prolly pay for itself right on the 1st time with the hourly rates of mechs around here... Cheers
Great video, best i've seen on the subject. The only thing i'm missing is the other type of rivet, the one that is not hollowed out (just a straight pin that needs to be pressed/hammered to match the look of the other link-pins)
Very well explained. Thanks for sharing
Wow. This was actually a very good video. Subscribed, and look forward to watching other posted vids of yours.
Another great vid! Thanks!
Very detailed and informative. Now I know my bike needs a new chain.
sweet video. Thanks for the specs on the chain rivet.
NICE!!! A great how to with all the important hot tips!
Great video/lesson. Thanks for the education!
Best how two motorcycle chain video I have ever seen great job sir and yes I have to replace my brand new Vortec 520 chain lol
This video lead me to success. I do swear my engine and shifts are much better due to a new chain. THe stock grease is OKAY, but adding more lube is better, really quiets new chain break in. Thanks for providing this, I successfully installed a chain because of this video.
Thats great to hear! Good job!
This video was very beneficial and well done. Thanks
Very thorough and well done.
Love the precision. You must sleep well know it's done correctly.
Goin to use a mic next time ))))))
A very well done and informative video. Tech support at JT Chains recommends 5.5 to 5.6 as final number in riveting. 5.7 max...more will likely break the chain and not in a good way! Thanks again, David
I wish more chains would publish their final riviting number. It's why I like the 0.5 - 0.7 flair above the unflaired pin. So if the pin is 5.0, flair to 5.5 - which is ocnsistent with what JT chains recommended. But some other brand chains will have different flair numbers. It's a little frustrating.
That was really excellent, you guys. Thanks so much!
Excellent clear video. Thanks!
Some really good info, especially the flair measurements. 👍😎
Great job & very thorough.
Nice video - very helpful. Thanks!
Super clear info .Great job.
Best chain video I've seen....also, thank you for pointing me in the direction of a robust chain tool good for multiple uses!!!
THIS WAS SO INFORMATIVE THANKYOU SIR
im 50 seconds in and can tell this is going to be a great video. subbed!
Great video, thank you.
What a great video, thanks for the the help
As for cutting the new chain, if you are not changing gear ratio or chain size, then just count links on your old chain and duplicate on the new chain. Even better, if you purchase chain and sprockets from Sprocket Center, then they will size the chain for you based on gear ration selected.
I always suggest replacing chain and both sprockets as a matched set to get he most life and smoothest feel out of the drivetrain.
Best instructional video on the net! Thank you for a great and informative video. That said, I think I am going to buy a GS. After a life time of mechanical repairs, and worn out hands... I really appreciate shaft drive. I just hope I get a good one...lol. Thanks again, super well done!
Yeah, I'm pretty sure I have a GS in my future. No chains and no fork seals sounds awfully appealing.
@@CanyonChasers What do you think about the Vstrom? I know where there is an almost new 2015 DL 1000. Less than 100 miles... (one hundred miles). He is asking $7,800. I say this because as of today, two more BMW shops are going out of business. It will be a long way for me to trailer a bike should I need to. After watching your video and learning about taking care of chains, it does not seem to be all that bad. Since my 800 mile days are long gone, and I just want something to hop on and get the cob-webs cleared the 1000 V strom makes sense. Don't get me wrong, I want a 1250GS. Being retired I do not know how I could come up with that much money.
Great vid but an important point: At 7:40 he says 'typically' flare is between 0.5mm to 0.7mm. Emphasis on the word 'typically' as not all rivets are the same and for some rivets the flare is MUCH less than this. By trying to achieve 0.5mm on some rivets you will split the rivet and have to start again.
I was actually thinking about this. What is the appropriate method for a correct flare? Will do my first chain install tomorrow. Thank you
Nice tutorial. Well done
another home run video, you should teach classes in making how to videos, Ive been riding since i was 14 which was precisely....well enough about me , Ive been helping a young man with his first bike learn to do some of the maintenance himself , in doing so it occurred to me that some of my methods might be ,...somewhat dated so i was checking out some "look how smart I am " videos when I ran across canyon chasers , if you cant watch these videos and fix your machine pay someone that can. thank you for your great work guys hope to visit your place someday.
Thanks great video learned a lot
Yo thanks for making this vid. I always come back to it and rewatch every time I put a new chain on just to refresh my memory. Guess what I'm doing now, hah. Cheers.
Well, truth be told. I re-watch it too when I do a chain. "What was the flair measurement again?" haha.
Very well explained!
Well, I enjoyed the video and learned a lot, u just got a new subscriber
Thanks for posting!!!
Thank you!
Profesionally done video :D
Excellent video!!!
great vid really clear compared to others

Really well done vid super clear
When I was newish to bikes I bought an R1 and didn't observe the chain dying. It did exactly what you described, it didn't straighten out, went around the front sprocket which only has a minimal clearance, and buried itself into the stater casing, locked the rear wheel going 60mph and almost dumped it. Def. keep an eye on your chain!
Thanks for the how-to, I got 2 bikes I need to replace the chain on and so far I've either sold bikes before I needed to do the chain, or had a shop do it, so this will be interesting. I think my chain tool is one of the cheaper ones you mentioned though, so we'll see how this goes.... Bought it like 3 years ago so too late to return now, lol.
So did you successfully change your chain after watching this video..... as I have 1 to do this year
@@raptorpome2577 IDK if I watched additional videos or not, but I did the chain on one of the bikes and it was pretty straight forward. Other bike is still in pieces. I mainly just followed the directions that came with the cheapo tool for which pieces to use to break the old one, which to press the pin back on, etc. It was pretty self explanatory looking at the pictures and the pieces. Basically just 1 setup to press the old one out, a different setup to press the new one in.
This was years ago at this point, I think I had a couple small problems to watch out for:
1. I bent the pin on the tool which presses the new pin into the chain, think I got a replacement for cheap on ebay or something. Happened because the tool wasn't completely straight on there when I was torquing it down against one of the links, so make sure it's straight.
2. I pressed it in a hair too far and I think I flipped it around and pushed it back out a hair until it was balanced.
3. I think I got the sizing mixed up and had to remove an extra link after I got the new one pressed on.
Been awhile so I can't quite recall, but it was pretty straight forward with the directions + the cheap tool I had from Amazon or whatever. I didn't struggle much.
Good video, thanks.
Amazing video.
Canyon chasers coming in again with an expert video helping noobs like me replacing my first chain. I bought the chain breaker from harbor freight then wondering why I couldn't press the plate on the master link 🤣
If you get a smaller or bigger sprocket, be sure to check your adjuster before you do it. One time, I got a smaller sprocket for a fourwheeler. I ended up needing a chain that was a link shorter, but when you shorten a chain, it goes two links at a time or else you can't put the master link back on. I ran out of slack on my chain adjuster.
Best instruction ever....
Thanks for the video my boyfriend can get riding again tonight hopefully!!!
Of course if you already have the angle grinder you can save yourself some time and just cut the old chain off. Also another thing that saves some effort is finding out the exact length of your chain and simply buying one with the exact number of links. If you are running stock sprocket sizes this info is usually easy to find and most bike specific forums will have data for chain length if you've changed sprocket sizes as well.
Just did this today using the Stockton kit and man with the Stockton chain break chain rivet kit you need to have a soft touch because the tools to push out the old rivet and install mushroom the new one WILL bend or break if your not 100% accurate and slow. The chain tool he has seems fool proof way more durable looking than the Stockton. $40 kit i bought down the drain.
brilliant vid!! Thanks :)
Thank you
thank you very much.
Man that was a good video!!!!
Nice video man with an driven front sprocket installation gsxr-1000 should logo face inside or outside?
I was lucky my KTM adv's OEM chain lasted about 17,000 miles. I didn't take the chance and got front and rear sprocket with a new DID chain. There is no clip! I have never replaced a chain like this before and your video was very helpful.
thanks
Explained perfect top man
best video ever!
PSA order extra master links with your chain. I screwed up and now I have to wait for extras to come in -__-
Hey there, thanks for the guide, my 125cc bike chain came with a clip on master link. I've got a rivet tool and was wondering if it can be riveted or do I have to use the clip?
This is the best video out on the subject. No other video gives this much useful info. My only disagreement is the 90$ motion pro chain tool is pretty good no matter what size. Actually as long as your not above a 530. It's a really good tool. Definitely great for personal users. The pro tool would be for bike shops. Take care all
Thanks for sharing. Our $90 motion pro tool broke on a 525, even after grinding off the pins. But it's possible Motion Pro has improved the quality of the chain tool since then.
@@CanyonChasers that is disappointing because it's a pretty rigid tool. Plenty of steel there
