Hi all,
Noob here..... is this chain lube any good? Anyone using this stuff?
I purchased and applied it but can't seem to feel any lube on there.... looks dry (guess the can doesn't lie on that part haha)
Hello All,
As the title suggests, I have a very apparent cam chain noise and I'm unsure if I have the 'chain tensioner' rattle, or if the chain and guide themselves could be worn from hard usage and are in need of replacement?
For context the bike is a 2015, cbr650f ex race bike from new with...
Wondered opinions? Obv I know Alot comes down to riding in all sorts of weather etc but for myself I'll aim to ride only in the dry(ish) weather to begin with so is cleaning and re-greasing every 500 miles ideal or?
How you go about this? Usually I'd just use a brake cleaner to degrease the...
Hi, I'm new to owning a bike and today while riding I noticed some noises from it while on throttle, I went home and cleaned the chain, checked it since I was in the maintenance range and to my suprise the chain looked really loose, I've read about that's normal for it to touch the swing arm. I...
Hey everyone, I've run into a bit of an issue (though with my limited experience it might not be).
I've just taken ownership of a new Cb650R and think the drive chain tension is way off. The problem is that when I push the chain running along the underside of the machine up...it hits the chain...
Hi everyone!
I own a cbr650r 2020, I have replaced my chain and sprocket 2 weeks ago. I have rode the bike 100-200km I’m and decided to check the chain tension. I have found out that the tension is different when I spin it.(but the tension is still ok, some parts it’s 25mm and some some parts...
Hello guys. I got a 2022 CBR650R.
I cleaned the chain last week. I put the bike on a ConStand and both wheels where in the air. I first removed the dirt and old grease from the chain. Afterwards I started the engine and put in the first gear to Lubricate the Chain.
Today I started Riding and...
Hi, this bothering me since I bought the bike, not major issue but I am curious if it is normal for these bikes. Noticeable only in lower speeds, when I leave the throttle I could hear some "click" from under seat, most probably chain. Also when I press clutch sometimes, but with throttle...
Hello,
I noticed that in my bike when the cam chain tensioner is installed it's almost fully compress (it doesn't even extends 1 turn of the screw). In other bikes I had, the tensioner needed to extend maybe 3 or 4 turns in order to tension the chain. I removed and inspected the tensioner and...
Hi there
I already searched the forum, but didn't find anything similar. Here is my problem:
Today I cleaned the chain (with front sprocket cover removed). That's the first time since I "DIY-ed" the OEM Quickshifter on my 2019 CB. When put in neutral and turning the wheel the chain or enginge...
Driving home today and the chain felt loose, eased it home and saw this. I feel like I’m lucky to have made it home.
I don’t know how it happened. I just had the first 600 mile service done. Has around 850 miles now.
So I just adjusted the valve clearances on my bike and went to put it back together, but for the life of me I can't get the timing chain back on the cam shaft sprockets despite the fact that taking it off in the first place was easy peasey. It seems like it needs to be a couple inches longer or...
Hi Folks,
I am planning to replace the Chain and Sprockets on my 2015 CBR650F in the next few weeks, I have a new chain slider also.
I was wondering are there any other tasks I should look at while I'm there?
Front\Rear Wheel Bearings?
Rubber Dampers?
Cheers
Rob
I have unscrewed the three bolts that bolster the plastic guard to the swingarm, but the last one(in red circle) is scary tight and it's even got the marking on its head which makes it look even more important. And unlike the other three, this one goes into a metal part.
I have already mauled...
Hi - dumb question.
I feel like I should have the need to replace my chain & sprockets by now - I’ve done 45,000 kms but have used a chain oiler from day one.
The sprocket teeth look ok at me (I think), attached is photo. The chain tension guide is still in the green. Any tips...
There seems to be a wide variety of prices out there. I am looking at a DID 525 VX3 package via a Ebay shop but the JT front sprocket does not appear to have the rubber cushioning. Price is great but am nervous of the noise. Thoughts and recommendations please
Hi all,
First post on here so hi everyone.
Recently purchased a mint 2015 650F with 5k miles. It has a full Honda service history so thumbs up. A little history on the bike, it was not used much in the last 2 years by the previous owner, it did 4 miles in the last year and less than 1000 the...
