Just got this bike and should have my license in a few weeks. These videos are amazing and I've been able to follow them and get the bike ready to ride! Greetings from Finland!
These videos are super useful.
Explained in a nice and chill way.
Damn, I don't even own a motorcycle but watch these videos as they are relaxing and educational.
When I grow old(er) I wanna be like The Old Mechanic. Chill and knowledgeable
Glad to hear that! 👍🏻👊🏻😉
The service manual says to check and measure the chain tension on the side stand.
You do it with the wheel up. I think this may cause the chain to be tightened incorrectly. If the motorcycle is lowered, the tension will change under its own weight. For such adjustment, you should have different measurement parameters than those provided in the manual.
Anyway thanks for video, your channel is great.
✌️
Placing a piece of cardboard between chain and wheel helps to keep exhaust, rim and tyre clean from overspray.
Good tip 👍, Richard
Eres un buen mecánico, explicas con claridad y te enfocas en los detalles.

Greets from Serbia. I am new guy in motorbikes, i have purchased CBF 600S from 2004 and those videos helping me to figure it out why and how stuff working.
Hi Milenko, for guys like you I am making these video's. Its good to know that you like them. Greets from The Old Mechanic 🏍 👨🔧
I've just got my first Bike and I have no Idea how to maintain it. Thanks for your explanation and tipps, enjoyed the video. Greetings from Switzerland.
Your welcome, Greets from The Old Mechanic and ride save.
I just got my first motorcycle, a 2004 Honda 599. That's what it's called in U.S., elsewhere it's the Hornet. I love it & am trying to do all the maintenance myself. Your videos have been very helpful and I have enjoyed spending some time with you. And I think the word you were looking for is tension, just a little, not too loose or too tight. You have helped me save some money and take care of my bike. Thanks much!!
Thanks Brian 👍🏻👊🏻🏍
Steel measuring thing is called a ruler. Thanks for your videos they are good and funny.
Yours videos are great !! Thank you so much for all this informations !!
Hi KomplexIT, Thanks..!! Greetz from The Old Mechanic, ride save 👨🔧--->🏍 👍
Thankyou for an informative (and humorous!) video, I own a 2002 900 Hornet, this video applies equally to my bike. Very useful. My son-in-law did the very same thing that you warned against lubricating the chain while the engine was running, he caught the gear lever, knocked it into gear and nearly lost his fingers.A lesson learnt the hard way!!
Hi Nige, oww my goodness !! He has to thank the Lord on his bare knees ! Rightnow I am busy on the Hornet, it has a coolant leak, and a leaking frontfork seal. I am making video's about that for my TH-cam channel, so in a while I will upload them. Greets from The Old Mechanic 👍🤛🏍
My good friend lost his thumb this way, about 3 months ago
thanks so much to teach us how to do properly maintenance for this beatiful bike. greetings from Argentina.
Thanks Mauricio

Super Pan to wyjaśnia ✌️Dziękuję
Thank YOU 🙏🏻👍🏻👊🏻
Great video thanks
Hi, respect voor je video’s!
Super duidelijke uitleg. Ik heb zelf ook een honda Hornet uit 2008.
Je kan goed zien dat jij plezier hebt in het sleutelen aan de motor, super gaaf om te zien!
Hoi Pascal, Bedankt voor jou vriendelijke commentaar. Voor jongens zoals jij maak ik deze onderhouds-video's zonder er al te gewichtig over te doen en met een beetje humor he. Sleutelen aan een motor is mn passie, en hobby. De Hornet is echt een heerlijke motor om op te rijden en om zelf aan te sleutelen en met goede onderhoud kun je er jaren veel plezier aan beleven. Greetz The Old Mechanic. (vergeet niet te abonneren op mijn youtube kanaal he ;-) )

A great tip for lubing the chain is to cut a piece of cardboard between the tire and the chain so when you spray the lubricant it will not get on your tire!
Good job doctor... 🙏♥️
Thank you ! 👍🏻👊🏻🏍
didmnt know garage videos can be this humorous. i laughed more than by watching a comedy movie :D
Hopefully thats a good thing 😉👍🏻👊🏻
You are definitely Greek....!!
Very good video by the way
Thanks mate, We love Greek food !
@oldmechanic I have a 2008. I want to put the rear light and unit from the 2011 onwards. Is this achievable
Hoi! I think the chain of my motorbike has to be changed, can i bring it over?
You seem very trustworthy:)
Thanks Phil 👍🏻👊🏻
Dear Old Mechanic,
Thank you very much the all videos about the honda hornet. It is very helpful.
Where can you buy the honda hornet technical book which is contanin the all data?
Hello Daniel, send me an email please
@@TheOldMechanic have you got anybdetails on how to change cush drive on a hornet? Have you got link to Haynes manual or similar?
I am also Old and understand, guess what? we are still riding at our old age and still doing our maintenance - have fun
Hi Silvio, great to hear that..Still going strong !!
on my right side adjustment screw (counter chain side) there is a large free play - about 4-5 turns with no reaction. is that normal?
Hi Adi, I am apologiezing for my late response, sorry.
If that's only on just one side, I would give it a better look to see why that is.

Hallo,
Wat een toffe filmpjes. Dit helpt me enorm met het onderhoud van mijn pas aangeschafte honda hornet 2008.
Nu zijn mijn ketting en tandwielen helemaal versleten, graag zou ik dit ook zelf vervangen. En daar heb ik eigenlijk een paar vragen over
Hoe de/monteer je het voortandwiel? (Hou je het achterwiel op een of andere manier tegen?)
En kun je me de aanhaalmomenten van voor en achter tandwielen verklappen? Of nog mooier, Hoe kom ik aan de gegevens die jij op je tablet hebt?
Groeten Bas
Hoi Bas, fijn om te horen dat mijn TH-cam video's een hulp zijn voor jou. Het voortandwiel zit best wel vast (54 Nm), om die fatsoenlijk los tekrijgen heb je een luchtsleutel nodig Bas. Je kunt het proberen door je achterwiel te blokkeren, door stevig op de achtrem te gaan 'staan'. Wat je zeker NIET moet doen is je motor in de versnelling zetten, dan komen alle krachten op de tandwielen in de versnellingsbak.
Wat je ook kan doen, is even naar de plaatselijke autogarage rijden en vragen dat ze die bout ff losdraaien voor jou. Vervolgens zet je die bout WEER terug vast, (zodat je hem thuis weer met een passende sleutel zelf los kunt draaien he) dan rij je HEEL HEEL rustig terug naar huis en haal je hem daar weer terug los. MAAR rij wel stapvoets he.Voor de Service Manual stuur mij ff een emailtje.
@@TheOldMechanic top, bedankt voor je snelle reactie dit gaat me helpen! Waar kan ik je mail adres vinden?

plz Hornet 600 motorcycle chain change
Why you didn't clean the chain before lube it??
Actualy thats a good question.. These days chains are having those O-rings or X-rings so dirt (sand) can't penetrade the links. But IF there is a lot of dirt on the chain, then I do clean the chain.
What brand of sprockets and chain would you recommend for the Hornet?
Hi Macavei, GOOD question. I allways go for the DID (xring) chain, thats good value for your money. For the sprockets I allways go for JT brand. Sometimes the owner wants a SuperSprocket stealth rear sprocket, I like those too as they look awesome. Greets from The Old Mechanic, please don't forget to subscribe to my channel. ;)
@@TheOldMechanic Thanks for the quick reply. Your work and videos are nice and instructive. So keep on doing this videos
@@adionFM Thanks I will keep on making these video's.
Hey, i have Honda Hornet PC41 2007 year and would like to change sprockets and chaine, what size sprockets are recommended for this bike. I don't have maintenance book to know this and can't find one od internet. Please help me
26:25 my god i laughed so hard :)) Ducati jsuiskdnsufnskdn :)))
sorry for all the Ducatisty.. ;-)
In my opinion, I think he tightened the chain too much, the weight of the pilot and possible co-pilot must be taken into account. In that case it would be with too much tension
