Nice. First of all, you deserve the Mark Twain award for adding such comedic value to your video. Second of all, I would like to thank you as even the "repair" manual for my 1090 doesn't exactly specify how to place the pin/spacer/slave etc so I had to make sure I wasn't crazy. Good news. I am still crazy but was able to fix my bike thanks to you!
Excellent video. I have a 2016 1290 Super Adventure and I used the Dremel to grind down one tooth to take the old front sprocket off but had the remove the swing arm shaft just to get enough clearance to put the new front sprocket back on.
Pull the chain downwards, lowest point mark as your measuring spot. From there let it hang loose, that's your zero point, now pull it down hard and measure the distance from zero to that point. Note the distance in cm or inches or mm if you are pedantic. Too much slack: tighten, too little: loosen.
@@PatrickFlinner sorry I'm still confused or it's because I'm not native English speaker, but in your video you're you are lifting chain up from zero point?
Do you think its possible to take the sprockets off without separating the chain? I have a new chain i want to put on, but my sprockets are still a few days out on order. I want to put the new chain on and ride it till the new sprockets get in, but it being an o ring chain means i dont want to have to separate it when i go to put on my new sprockets. Can i get the old ones off and the new ones on without needing the chain out?
I'm not a fan of mixing old and new. Rather do all at once. The rear sprocket is not a problem, the front won't come off with the chain on due to the clearances.
Yes, you only need to remove the clutch cylinder apparatus. Then align the space of the sprocket teeth so it can glide past the swingarm. Fitting is more difficult as you need to align the splines and "wiggle"the sprocket past the swing arm due to less space between the teeth. Some patience required.
@@PatrickFlinner I had the exact opposite experience today. Taking off the old sprocket was a pain in the ass. The new one simply slipped into place. Both 17T. I guess once again, KTM technicians found a way of messing with us by making each single bike slightly different LOL

Thanks Patrick, this was both entertaining and educational... nice job! (very helpful for my 690 Duke).
Never had this many laughs while learning something. Thanks!
Great humor and video. Thumbs up!
Nice way to bend a brand new rear sprocket.
Sehr gut, und danke schön.
Hi Patrick, did you have to remove the swingarm bolt and wiggle the swingarm in order to replace the front sprocket?
Not at all. Just cleaned everything with paraffin and removed the plastic swingarm protector. If I recall correctly....
Do you put some grease on the rubbers from the sprocket carrier?
Manual says nothing about it but I always done it before
You mean the Kush drive rubber s? Yeah, as they grind against the rough cast steel.
How do you measure chain slack? I'm really confused with that label...
Do you need to measure from the middle of the chain or the bottom?

@@PatrickFlinner ok, thanks
love the coffee and sense of humor,btw does the front sprocket can be removed without any issue of the swing arm axle?

Greasing the master link..
I almost fell off my chair! 🤣
Well you can insert it dry...but that is not beneficial for either party.
You’re a funny guy
By sight and smell alone.
now that's a breaker bar!
4c what were you doing it first thing in the morning?
