Installing a new chain on my KTM 690 SMC R

Yeah I had to cut it.. I guess it wasn’t 116 links after all.. but then again I may have cut this a little short, I mean I adjusted the damn chain about 5 times to get it close.. well see how well I did after the first ride!

Brake clean in the crib is crazy!!!

[@LifeWellRidden]

Not the best decision.. had the windows open in 30 degree weather hahah

[@Hash9377]

Keep putting that work in bub

[@utopiaspaz]

keep it going!

[@suga_shaneomac]

Wrenched on the bed is even crazier!!’ lol good video bro!

[@LifeWellRidden]

Thanks man! Limited space calls for unique solutions hahah

[@22smcrrider96]

Ohh and I got my tekmo this week. Gonna put it on Monday! can't wait

[@LifeWellRidden]

Ohhh yessss so it went on today???

[@22smcrrider96]

Wish I could say I had experience with this on our bike. But when I got my chain and sprockets I also happened to need tires replaced as well so I just took it too shop and had them do it all

[@LifeWellRidden]

It's something that is almost worth paying for.. almost. It's fun to do and learn but god damn is it more work then I expected.. well at least for the first go around haha the first time takes 5 hours while the 2nd time takes 5 minutes..

[@frostygonz]

Thanks for making these tips vids for us. Just gotta ask bro any reason why you’re tinkering in the living room?

[@LifeWellRidden]

You are welcome! I hope they help! The living room is warmer than the garage.. Well I want to keep my car in the single car garage over the winter to protect from snow and rain and well a motorcycle in 72 degree year round temps is pretty nice hahah

[@frostygonz]

@@LifeWellRidden Smart move! Your hands will appreciate not working in a freezing garage haha

[@frostygonz]

@@LifeWellRidden Vids do help! Especially the fmf install since no-one else went as in depth to it as you did!

[@LifeWellRidden]

@@frostygonz that is awesome to hear! I feel like I need to redo that one it’s been so long 🫠

[@alex.crf450r]

80nm is crazy for a front sprocket, my 450 is only 31 🤣

[@LifeWellRidden]

Haha!! That is such a difference.. it scared me too.. like dang thats almost the rear wheel nut!

[@falloutnerd216]

​@LifeWellRidden you torqued it but did you make sure to fold over the crush washer 👀

[@LifeWellRidden]

@@falloutnerd216 hahah I literally noticed while editing and went back and folded it.. 🤣

[@JRSWANDOG68]

How many miles did you get on the original?

[@LifeWellRidden]

I was at 5,600 miles when I swapped, I don't think it was necessary to make the change, I was looking for something lighter and well.. gold.. I think the factory one (depending on use and maintenance) could last a lot longer

[@dasauto44]

So isnt that why we have LUBE?

[@LifeWellRidden]

You are correct, cleaning a new chain gets ride of a lot of grease that is not necessarily chain lube, not to mention I trust and use Motul products for any fluid on this bike, you don't have to but its worth it! Not to mention the fresh chain grease gets EVERYWHERE..

[@dasauto44]

@@LifeWellRidden it's just that I would take the sprocket with no rubber and just be sure to lube it.
