Delboy's Garage, Motorcycle Front Sprocket Change.

Publicado 2015-10-31
The two final drive sprockets wear at very different rates, so if you change the front during the life of the chain you'll make it last a lot longer... Here's a closeup How-To for changing your front sprocket... Plus a handy trick for holding it still safely, while releasing the huge 36mm nut..!

  • This video is seven years old and still keeps giving. Brilliant Del, love all your stuff and wanted you to know how much we appreciate you!
  • Not just a video on how to do it but a load of relevant info on the wear of the sprockets and the fact that the chain doesn't stretch! Thanks a lot, really helpful.
  • @conradyork2178
    Thank you! Two years into my 2007 Tiger 1050, I have learned some very useful things from you. You are an adept teacher, sometimes knowledgeable people have so much information, that they forget what is important to know. When I watch one of your videos, I learn the why, and the when, and the how much of doing the thing, not just how to do the thing.

    A HUGE thank you for the chain hack to tighten the sprocket.. I spent hours reading forums, watching recent videos, and following step by step instructions on my service manual. Nothing was working until I found this video. You made my day and my project continues! Thank you!

    Brilliant video Del, really appreciated the explanation on how the chain actually wears out. Understanding HOW the chain and sprockets wear has given me a bit more confidence in deciding when I should change them out. Nice one mate!

    My small sprocket is due for renewal Thanks for all the good common sense help ... I love how you explain in detail and technique .... Your video's encourage us all ....
  • This is the video I'm looking for since I bought my new bike 4 months ago. Thank god I'm maintaining it eventhough I didn't know that it will wear out like you said. I'll be more cautious hereafter. You saved many lives. Thank you
  • @daiman56
    Thanks for the video Del, I will be changing the front sprocket on my B12s next week. I have 11K on the clock, so this video is a good reminder of "how it is done" . You have the best technical/info channel out there.
  • @adc-k5960
    Unreal. I can not believe how simple you made that sprocket change look. I strained so hard getting mine off I gave myself a proper headache. Thanks for video delboy, I will be practicing this method for the future.
  • @jonpurdydotcom
    The screwdriver in the chain was a fantastic trick to remove the engine sprocket nut. That, combined with a consume-grade electric impact wrench made it come off within a couple of seconds. Excellent instructional videography as well; much thanks!
  • @zanepickavance
    So glad I found this, changing my chain and sprockets for the first time on my street scrambler, that front sprocket nut did not want to budge
  • @boroczkyp1
    I would like to say thank you as a beginer because your channel is very unique with these precise instructions of how to maintain our bikes. As I watch your videos I think that "Hey man, is it that simple?" and with a little exaggeration I can do these things more carefull than in most of the services. Thanks again and keep doing it! :)
  • @costaboskoff1835
    Just used your method to remove the front sprocket from my KLR 650 thanks a lot made the job a piece of cake , usually I am not to impressed with a lot of You Tube posts ,but this man knows what he is on about Thanks again
  • @jeffhkim
    First timer here. I cut off my chain first before taking off the front sprocket and then started swearing when I realized what I had done. You, my friend, saved my ass big time with that trick. Awesome video! Thank you.
  • @golfmike131
    Thanks for the videos. Even with language barriers, I learn a lot from your videos. I own a 955i in Brazil and here there are no trained mechanics for this bike. thanks.
  • @sczscoob212
    No matter how much I think I know, I always find some useful bit of info from you Del. Every day is a school day no matter how old you are. Keep up the good work you 2. 👍🏼
  • @Jakeisadonny
    Got my first 50cc bike recently, I’m 16 and this video has helped me gain a lot of knowledge on my bike. I’m changing the sprocket soon as I was told to so this has definitely helped
  • @jeffmaxwell7041
    Great job....learned a lot! Love the chain screwdriver trick to hold the countershaft sprocket .
  • 4 years later and your video is still helping persons like myself sir. I was confused about the nut holding the sprocket because the tabs were bent in a way that I didn't know you just unbend them and its not a special tool. oh well first time for everything and I will be doing a complete chain/sprockets swap..thank you 😊...
