    Finally a no nonsense approach to what should be a simple job. Managed to change sprockets in less than an hour. Longest job was winding in and out the chain tensioners to provide sufficient slack and then retention at the end of the job. I put a piece of tape on each side of the swing arm and marked in pen where each adjuster was. Made the job of re-tensioning a lot easier and more ‘accurate’😎

    Hello BP! Cracking video. Very calming. I've got the same bike out in Thailand, but am having trouble tracking down an appropriate sproket. At the start if the video you mentioned a link the the 15 tooth KTM sproket you used, but I canne seem to find more about it. Would you be able to advise? KTM sell here in Thailand, so hopefully it will be availble.

      Hi Jonny, its the front sprocket of the KTM 390. See the link below.

    Lovely job Richard.I've just invested in an Oxford Premium Paddock Stand and some 6mm threaded rod and bobbins which will make the whole job easier when I tackle this.Fitted my Thruxworx tail tidy and bullet indicators today which was very straightforward but do need to adjust my chain tomorrow as already a little snatchy after 325 miles

    • @bankruptpensioner

      Hi Ged, my son has the paddock stands and was going to use them but thought a blast back to when we were not so rich would be a good show 😆. Took the 400 up the motorway yesterday and made a video. The 15T works well with a buzz at 70 which clears when pushed up to 80 (on the dial - probabaly about 72mph true). Well done on the tail tidy. I should think about doing the same as the back end, like most bikes today, have this strange rear end. I am thinking of fitting the scottoiler to the 400, in readiness for winter. That should be interesting 😆

    Really great info and it was so charming to see the job is actually easy if you are comfortable with basic tools. A quick question - does this change in sprocket void the warranty?

    • @bankruptpensioner
      @bankruptpensioner  2 หลายเดือนก่อน +2

      Hi Viks, I suspect not. In the world of reassonableness (which the world is certainly not in at the moment 😆 - and to be fair, has not been in it for about 10'000 years), I would suspect that all would be fine. And to be fair, there must be some 95% chance that the bike will never need to be returned under warranty - as I maintain then myself and really do look after the bikes. Never thrashed, always nurtured etc etc.

    That was a good way to do this job Richard , we aren't all situated in a nicely equipped workshop. The only thing i would do differently is add a little blue locktight on the sprocket shaft thread as there seemed to be some when you removed it and the other was when retensioning the chain i would spin the rear wheel to find the tight spot in the chain and then adjust to get the 20 - 25mm slack in the chain. Good stuff i look forward to the next one

      Did my Tiger 850 about 6weeks ago, interesting results. At first I thought don’t like it, 6th gear is very much an overdrive and the bike just seemed to have lost its pep! However I’m now used to the different riding techniques and on balance prefer the more relaxed feel of the engine on dual carriage ways and fast A roads. Fuel consumption has improved more the I thought it it would, by about 4mpg. The slight vibrations, which I love, are now lessened at faster cruising speeds making it better for riders who found it aggravating.
      What are your thoughts?

      Hey Larry, good to hear from you again 😄. I have had to perform a few changes in anticipations of storms ahead, controllable storms but nevertheless. I was talking to a group yesterday, on our ride (me on the T120) to a small place called Monyash, in Derbyshire. Popular place where walkers and riders meet for coffee and breakfast etc. Explained the situ on the BSA and the reasons for the sale along with an ongoing (for some 6 weeks) issues from the new owner. Got to the point where I had to block the new owners number. That was a week ago. It'll come out in the wash I guess 😆. So, I have one video that keeps being scheduled for the future - and then gets rescheduled again for a further future date. I should let this video just go. And then create a simple video on the sale of the BSA on the issues of such sale over the past weeks. Two sides on that story I guess, 1, the sellers perspective, and 2, the buyers perspective. I am going to have to think about this one 😬. Thanks for asking and it was this comment from you that 'instigated' the conversation today at Monyash. Let me sit and think about this 👍. You take care my friend 👍

    In March 23i bought my GoldStar Midnight Black for £6800 + otr yesterday i visited the Honda dealer and tried the DCT NC750X which is getting up towards 9 grand. My GoldStar has 675 miles on the clock and thanks to BSA knocking £1500 off the cost i realised i would take a hit but the size of that hit astonished me, I was offered £2600. I can't afford to let it go and take such a loss I'll have to keep it.

    • @bankruptpensioner

      OMG Ian, I am sorry for you. 2600 is a hell of a hit. That said, I think the GS is a wonderful bike. Having spoke to Triumph, their second hand sales have collapsed. Only new is selling. I can only suggest putting it on Marketplace for the price you want - whilst we are still in summer. You may well get the price that you would be satisfied with. To be fair, it has low mileage so that is on your side for the potential buyer 👍

    Hows the speedo error after the sprocket change is it cliser to true? As i find it reads a good 10% over and the mpg same.
    Personally i would have marked the adjuster bolt heads with a permanent marker and noted the number of turns to ensure even adjustment and of course torqued up all relevant nuts to spec might even have splshed out on a new lock washer.

    • @bankruptpensioner
      @bankruptpensioner  4 หลายเดือนก่อน

      great advice on the marker Anthony. Good call 👍. I understand the error in the speedo is literally there....and as the speed is taken from the read ABS ring, the change on sprockets is irrelevant on this matter. A bigger rear tyre would help remove the issue with the speedo - maybe thats the one when the bike needs a new set 👍

    What are the gains from a 15 tooth sprocket?

    • @bankruptpensioner
      @bankruptpensioner  4 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Hi Lexico, in the case of the 400x, first and second gear are very low. The gears quickly run out of speed, so, you set off in first and within a second, you are hadning to change up to second gear and again into third. To stretch the gears out a little, you can add one tooth at the from or put a sprocket on the back with fewer teeth, It's the same principle. Its all about rations between the teeth of the fron and rear sprocket. Also, by putting an extra tooth on the pront sprocket, the bike may go a little faster. However, I am not too bother about this. Hope this helps 👍. A really good question 👍

    My owners handbook has the chain free play missing (p108), it says "The vertical movement of the drive chain must be in the range of for the Speed 400 and for Scrambler 400 X"
    I emailed Triumph, Freddy from aftersales said:
    20-25mm Speed 400
    40-45mm Scrambler 400x

    I think you would be best to leave your bike alone no torque wrench over tightening is just as bad as under tightening you need to do it right or not at all

      Hi Malcolm, you are right. I used a ring spanner to get behind the sprocketand tapped the other end of the spanner to loosen the sprocket. Took about 10 mins but it was quite tight. The replacement sprocket went on the shaft easier than than the 14 tooth off. 😆

    Bending flat the sprocket nut retaining washer. Precision screwdriver + ratchet wrench rather than cold chisel and hammer. Modern bikes are far too complicated for the unsophisticated bodger like me.

      Hi Mark, yes thats a good idea however, I understand if you put a 16 on the bike, the ECU starts to throw an error to the rider. I have heard this but have no evidence that this does happen. Is your Speed running a 16 tooth?

    Maybe you can do it yourself but in your case you shouldn't. Nothing torqued to the correct value, these are all crititcal parts. I hope anyone following this video doesn't have an accident. Good help anyone who buys the bike after you.

    Sorry but what you showed is frightening, not using a torque wrench on these critical components is a engineering no no, if you haven’t got an appropriate tools leave these jobs to a professional. 😮

      Hi David, you are right but those fancy tools are not at my disposal. We had the same approach on aero engines - just get the job done - and they never failed 😆

    • @MichaelWilliams-jc2ui
      @MichaelWilliams-jc2ui 4 หลายเดือนก่อน +4

      Bit of an overstatement there. Both these key nuts are not critical in the sense of they are likely to be loosened in use. I’ve changed many sprocket on new bikes and sometimes the drive shaft nuts is all but finger tight from the factory, it’s never come off due to the retaining washer. Overtightening is down to having having pretty rudimentary skillsets, which if you don’t have take it to your local bike shop! I would always use torque renchs on brake components and cylinder heads etc but these items wouldn’t bother. Mind you I’ve been spannering bikes for over 50years.

    You bloody bodger, get a hammer and cold chisel to bend those washers! You did check the chain for the tightest spot(s) before tensioning it didn't you? Did you put some weight on the seat while tensioning it too? Of course you did 🤣🤣 Good job. Your greasy fingers made light work of it. Should do the ton down the by pass now mister, flat on the tank!

    • @m2menuiserie540

      And it's not too difficult to make a simple puller to draw the sprocket off easily and evenly. Don't encourage him to ton up, even down a steep hill with a following wind. The rozzers will confiscate his licence. A bankrupt, banned pensioner would not be nearly as much fun.
