0:00I was told so many stories and I kept
0:02them in my stomach lies of Truth fake
0:05Smiles of blood money I lost cars of a
0:08loss for words trying to keep my tone
0:10down what I'm saying you Ser unusual
0:13context unique buried in the depths of
0:16metaphorical speech a hidden message
0:18pull the infinite strings reconnect the
0:20ends and pretend to justify the means
0:23parallel the same page turn days in the
0:26literature simple as loose change it was
0:28perfect at least that's what I'm told
0:31courage is dead spending my life fearing
0:33the cold I was useless feeling like dead
0:36way playing as day and it doing my
0:38handshakes originality was spread across
0:41the board intricate selfworth I'm
0:43searching for
0:48[Music]
0:50more right so there we are more plates
0:53thanks for that guys as you can see
0:54we're not just getting plates from
0:56America and Canada and Australia and New
1:00Zealand and uh South Africa we're also
1:03getting quite a lot from Europe now
1:05we've got France Spain Portugal
1:06represented Germany obviously lots of
1:08Germany but look East European cles now
1:11who can tell us where this one comes
1:13from who can tell us where that's from
1:15in the comments askers for
1:1710 there's no prizes Tom no prizes for
1:20that one right okay you know what this
1:24is don't you um we Moto Parts the other
1:28day we went to the weot company we
1:30bought all the bits for the street
1:31fighter and at that time a certain
1:32person not too far from here decided
1:34she'd lik some bits for her Triumph and
1:36it is really do a bit with makeover had
1:38the dve now for 4 years there's nothing
1:39wrong with it it's absolutely beautiful
1:41we did the custom work on it what over
1:43the first 2 3 years wasn't it we did
1:45loads and loads of videos on it if you
1:47look in the Triumph Scrambler videos
1:49playlist there's just loads of stuff we
1:50slammed it on the big fat wide road
1:53tires and as it's gone on we just want
1:55to kind of upgrade things as we go we've
1:57got Tech exhaust which looks fantastic
1:59it gives it a whole you look to a
2:00Scrambler which is high level pipes but
2:02I think it's time to just go a little
2:03bit further and do something a little
2:05bit more fun so the first thing that we
2:07decided we do is a chain of rockets when
2:10I bought this bike in
2:132013 one of the things that niggled me
2:16straight away was the chainers brackets
2:20because I felt that for a bike that was
2:22all black with gold writing on it that
2:25this dull as pigw a gray chain was just
2:30miserable honestly and once it gets
2:32chain lube on it it looks even more
2:33miserable but it was a utility bike for
2:35quite some time I didn't really want it
2:36to look nice I just used it for work and
2:38once Penny's got it it's become a bit
2:39more of a princess now hasn't it it has
2:41your little punish princess pony and
2:43that means we're going to do some visual
2:45stuff to to this year we've got some
2:47brakes coming up and so on but at the
2:48moment we're going to put a gold chain
2:50because I showed you the other day this
2:51rather amazing did gold chain absolutely
2:55love these I'm going to put one on the
2:56street fighter that's where we got it
2:57from it's exactly the same specification
2:59sight different length but it's exactly
3:01the same spec as the one for the street
3:03fighter it's a 525 did gold chain going
3:06to put that on also going to upgrade the
3:08sprockets as well uh well so I thought I
3:11was um because obviously the the
3:14sprocket on the back of the cowasaki was
3:16a bit of a mess and it's pretty much
3:18worn out um minut what I decided to do
3:21instead was upgrade to a sun star
3:25sprocket that's the black one that's got
3:26the Twisted sort of look in it and
3:29pretty cool that's better and so I sent
3:33off and I thought i' get a Sunstar
3:35sprocket for this which would be black
3:36but they don't make them in Black they
3:37come different colors so what we've got
3:39in the end for the Scrambler is a silver
3:45Sunstar sprocket to go with the gold
3:47chain that's not the end of the world
3:48because there's a lot of silver on the
3:49bike um the shocks are
3:52silver the exhaust obviously the brake
3:55disc the other side so we're going to
3:56pop a silver Sunstar sprocket on there
3:59which think is rather amazing and
4:01interestingly enough it's already got
4:03one did you know that pen No when we
4:05look closely at the bike the existing
4:08sprocket that comes from the factory is
4:10a Sunstar sprocket it's got a Sunstar
4:12stamp on it so it goes to show that
4:14choosing a Sunstar sprocket means you're
4:16picking Factory standard parts and is
4:19there a better way to do it I don't
4:21think so so we got that got JT sprocket
4:23for the front JC sprockets now if you
4:26don't know about these you should do
4:28honestly
4:30even the packets are to get open it's
4:33that super non bustable plastic but I
4:35think it yields the scissors in the end
4:37there we go uh a Sunstar sprocket on
4:40there and a JT on the front you've all
4:42seen these they are just about the best
4:45sprockets money can buy for the front
4:47now I've done videos in the past as you
4:48know where I've changed a front sprocket
4:51prematurely before the rear I do in the
4:54past I've done three front sprockets to
4:56one rear because they turn three times
4:59more of because they are a third of the
5:02size it ain't odd is it not really it
5:03really ain't odd but there is no need
5:06anymore that has been dealt with by the
5:08likes of JT's brackets because they're
5:10so hard and they're so durable and tough
5:12that they just don't wear like they used
5:14to so you don't have to do that any
5:16longer you can put chainless spret set
5:18on it and when it shows itself to be
5:20worn out and I'll show you how that
5:21works at the end then you change the
5:23whole Dar lot it's as simple as that lot
5:24easier lot less lot less fuss and it's a
5:27nicer way to do it so going to put those
5:28on and this a rather amazing Chang you
5:31just want to see this don't you let's
5:32have a look let's do the unboxing
5:37stop come out it's a green
5:41one there we go look at that how
5:45beautiful is
5:47that got The Shins in there yeah look at
5:50that there we are did gold chain
5:54525 heavyduty X-Ring chain I don't
5:58honestly think it gets any better than
5:59and that that's the kind of chain that
6:01you would put on a high booster an R1
6:03any sports bike you care to name with
6:05any amount of brake horsepower that you
6:07care to name you can put that on a 250
6:09horsepower bike and it would have no
6:10issues at all he going on one with about
6:1257 horsepower so it's just it's a thing
6:15of beauty and it will be buffed up and
6:16kept nice and shiny and we'll use a dry
6:19lube on it worth dry lube which is a
6:21really good product that doesn't build
6:23doesn't get sticky and oily but it does
6:24leave the channel come to that at the
6:25end right we put that back in the packet
6:27because we don't need that at a moment
6:29wrap all up and let's make a start
6:31stripping off the factory
6:39stuff okay look this little puddle of
6:41tools here that lot and a couple of bits
6:44of stuff is all you need it's not it's
6:47not a big involved scary job changing
6:50the chain of rockets is something that
6:51does still strike fear into the hearts
6:53of many people as novice mechanics the
6:55same as would fork seals headstock
6:58bearings swing arm bushes all that stuff
7:00we're going to try and cover it so make
7:01it really easy demystify the BS and make
7:03it as simple as it is first job with
7:05this that's it look that is it I've got
7:06a big old socket um a big span a few
7:09sockets bits and pieces there's nothing
7:11much you don't need a big socket first
7:12thing you need for the particular bike
7:15here has got Torx bolts that hold the
7:17chain guard on so dealing with that I've
7:19got these funky
7:22little weha ones you know I bought that
7:25stuff recently and you just take your
7:27chain guard off first get get that out
7:30of the
7:33way
7:36J simples here we are the next thing is
7:41let's get to the front sprocket
7:43itself you'll have a various different
7:47method of getting to your front's rocket
7:49on your bike leave that one in
7:52last you might have to take foot pegs
7:54out the way bits of body work out the
7:56way whatever and I'm sure you can deal
7:58with that
8:00if you deal with your bike in the
8:02correct way a little bit of copper slip
8:04on the business end of each bolt is
8:06always a good sign again putting B bolts
8:09back where they come from what about
8:12that there's an option is it mhm not
8:16going to lose
8:17an job done we'll put that over there
8:20too okay next thing we're in at this now
8:22we going to loosen this off before we go
8:24any further before we take the wheel out
8:26loosen the back wheel do anything I'm
8:27going to back off this cuz that needs to
8:29be held this sprocket needs to be myy
8:32fingers this sprocket needs to be held
8:35still in order to get that undone and
8:36that is a task there's several methods
8:38I've covered them in the past let's see
8:40if we can do it just by using the brake
8:41pedal which is often the easiest
8:43way on top of this sprocket it's got a
8:46tab washer that's been bent over so you
8:48get a big soft metal plate washer and
8:51the factory just fits the sprocket they
8:53fit the nut so this is Factory torque so
8:55that's going to be tight and then they
8:57tab this little washer over and that
8:58piece of metal bent over just leans
9:00against there and it stops IT undoing
9:02itself quite simple so to get that
9:04undone you just need a little chisel
9:05like that come in from the side a few
9:09Taps you don't need to hit it that hard
9:12you should never hit anything that
9:16hard unless you really need to and try
9:19not to mince this washer because
9:22ultimately what you'd like to do is tab
9:24that back over afterwards and use it
9:25again sayum to replace
9:28it
9:34there you go panel beating skills how's
9:36that right it's getting that done now
9:38this is a Moment of Truth for any of us
9:40if you've done this job yourself you
9:42know this is a point in the in the build
9:44where you get a moment of dread and when
9:46it happens or it goes right you get that
9:48moment of relief so I don't know where
9:50this is going to be this is Factory
9:51fitted this bike has never had a change
9:52rockets that was tored up probably with
9:55a windy gun by The Factory 4 years ago
9:58so who knows but the first way of making
10:02the the chain stay still cuz the chain
10:04will hold that still that spins cuz
10:06that's a gearbox sprocket that goes into
10:08the transmission and through the motor
10:10and that has nothing holding it still
10:12you can even turn it with your fingers
10:14carefully simple as that so if you want
10:17to get that off normally the first thing
10:19to try is just lean on the brake pedal
10:21if you lean on the brake pedal you're
10:23holding the back wheel still the back
10:25wheel being held still holds the chain
10:27still holds that still that should work
10:29work most of the time it does if it
10:31doesn't don't lean on it too hard if
10:33you've got someone standing on the brake
10:35and you've got a 9- ft bar with two
10:37friends hanging off the end of it that's
10:39too much for the brakes you're going to
10:40do damage to the bike you're going to
10:42possibly break the cush drives you're
10:44going to break the little veins in the
10:45cush drive then you need to resort to
10:47the chain method I did in a previous
10:48video where you take the back wheel out
10:50and you pin the chain around the axle
10:51that's far more solid but for now let's
10:54see if it goes this way this is honestly
10:56live as it happens as it happens
11:01right get some
11:04movement
11:06put on there just lean on the brake
11:09pedal and lean on
11:11that that went nicely but as you saw it
11:14does go suddenly bang it's free there's
11:17no kind of force to getting it off it
11:19just pop it just goes simple as that so
11:22there we are we were very lucky on that
11:23did with the
11:28brakes
11:38[Applause]
11:40okay now in the past when I've done
11:42chain videos I've always took a disc
11:45like
11:46that and just locked it straight through
11:48the chain uh in the past before that
11:50before I had a disc on I just put hacks
11:51all through it simple as that but it's
11:53not always a great way to do because
11:55this chain is actually only 5,000 Mi old
11:57and I'm going to keep it because long
11:59long term down the road that will be a
12:01perfectly serviceable chain it will get
12:02stored really oily in a sealed
12:04tupperware box with a little bit of oil
12:06and saw dusting and it will stay there
12:08forever until one day I need it simple
12:10as out some chain Loom or something and
12:11the same with the sprockets cuz there's
12:13hardly anywhere on the mure I need
12:15changing them for a little upgrade so
12:16the sprockets a bit fancier you got a
12:18nice gold chain that's really it so I'm
12:19going to take this out with a chain
12:21splitter now I've never shown one of
12:23these I've never done one of these on a
12:24video um what I wanted to do was to to
12:28show it properly now in the videos that
12:30we did
12:31for uh the fork seals the first fork
12:35seal video I showed you how to drive in
12:37a fog Bush and a fork seal using two
12:39lengths of white plastic waste pipe and
12:42that's a great hack it always works but
12:44on the second video as you saw I used a
12:46proper chain uh a proper seal driving
12:50tool which I bought instead because
12:52we're being supported by the patrons I
12:53want to upgrade the garage a little bit
12:54and show you there is a proper way to do
12:56it as well because these tools are
12:57coming down in price they really they're
12:59not as expensive as they used to be and
13:01more and more of you are doing more and
13:02more stuff so I think it's a wise thing
13:04to do today to show you how we're going
13:06to use a chain breaker and rivetter it's
13:10as simple as that and what I've done is
13:11I've got a Seely one I'm not
13:13particularly endorsing this one there's
13:14loads of them on the market uh this is a
13:16cely chamber you've seen these you can
13:18get them on eBay get them from anywhere
13:20we found I looked on the reason I got
13:22this one quite simply was I looked on
13:24sely I like cely tools I've had them for
13:26years I've got loads of sely stuff and I
13:28looked on the website and this this
13:30particular item is something like £72 on
13:34the cely website but when you go on
13:36remoto where I got all this stuff from I
13:38was scrolling down and I was only
13:40motivated to buy this cuz it isn't 70
13:42quid on the remoto website it's actually
13:44only 35 quid £36 so I think it's nearly
13:47half price if you buy it from Moto and
13:49we bought all the parts the chain all
13:51that I just you know it's like like I
13:52did with the stuff of the kosaki I just
13:54Chuck the chain breaker in so I'm doing
13:55this as well to show you how to use one
13:58of these so have a little look this is
13:59the tool um it's basically a little a
14:03little
14:04press and it allows you to fit these
14:07mandrels and these little pins and you
14:09can these rivets here on the Chain it
14:12allows you to press that pin out nice
14:15and safely and then when you come to put
14:16the new Link in it gives you a method of
14:20of spreading that link in a safe and
14:22scientific way cuz in the past again in
14:25the past when I did the last Chain video
14:27on the rat bite Bandit I used used a
14:29center punch a hammerhead and a hammer
14:32and that's the old hack method I've used
14:33right since the days of planishing the
14:35mile and mushing them years ago when you
14:38had the little rivet link you put it
14:39through the two ends stuck out and you
14:41just planished it over with a ballpen
14:43hammer you turned it over into a little
14:44mushroom so it stayed on well they're
14:46long gone you don't get those anymore
14:48you now get a far more scientific method
14:50I'm going to show you that today first
14:51of all you're going to split the chain
14:53I'm going to just press one of these
14:55tiny pins not both of them you need to
14:56do one cuz when as soon as you push one
14:58of those pins out the chain Falls in
15:00half so I'm going to show you how to do
15:01that simple first of all is to have a
15:03close look at this tool there's about
15:05six or seven things here you don't need
15:06for this job this particular tool is not
15:10just for motorcycle chains it's also for
15:12cam chains which are tiny tiny tiny I
15:14think it goes from what size is it let's
15:16have a look this chain is a 525 so it
15:20goes up to 630 which is a monstrous
15:22chain right down to 35 I mean a size 35
15:26chain that is absolutely minuscule
15:28that's a chain for I don't know like a
15:30little a little cam chain in a tiny
15:32engine or something so I'm going to show
15:33you to use this first of all though just
15:36to make it a little bit simpler I'm
15:38going to delete the things you don't
15:40need I'm not going to use that for a
15:41motorcycle chain we're not going to use
15:45that or that or that or that there we
15:50are now these items here don't worry
15:53about them they are for other chains and
15:55other applications they're not for
15:57motorcycle chain you don't need to worry
15:58about those these are the only tools you
15:59need I'll show you the first thing we
16:01have this is the Press itself it's got
16:05like a little inner piece there we'll
16:07show this in two stages first how to
16:10split the
16:11chain now you've
16:13got that a very strong purchase on it
16:17that is cast steel very strong he comes
16:20with a little handle that screws in the
16:23bottom so you can hold it when you're
16:25doing the job and this thing here is
16:28nothing more than than a T Bar to turn
16:30that when the time comes so let's have a
16:32look at these things here uh you've
16:35got that and that item are to do with
16:38fitting the chain and so is that so for
16:40splitting the chain in half all we
16:43need is these parts here these are the
16:46parts we need now the size of the chain
16:48itself these are three sizes you got 2.2
16:53uh 2.9 and 3.8 it's 3.8 that you need
16:56for motorcycle chain that's the size of
16:58the PIN that goes through the motorcycle
17:00chain so we pop the little spring on
17:03there wind it down to the end put that
17:08inside the magazine and then put the
17:11back in and that will come out now as
17:14you push
17:16through you can see that coming out so
17:19let's pop it into the actual tool itself
17:21this little pin needs to be back out the
17:23way so you back it out so it's actually
17:27down inside and that gives a Dent there
17:30there's a there's a hollow in that now
17:32and that
17:36Hollow will pick up and centralize on
17:39the Chain now at this point you can
17:43start winding on that and that pin that
17:46protrudes out the end will push the pin
17:47out but and here's the biggest issue
17:50I'll show you something on a drawing
17:52these things are very easy to break if
17:54you lean on them too hard you can spend
17:57I sort of cover this bit you can spend
17:59,000 on a chain breaker and it will then
18:02break just about any chain in the world
18:04you could spend 4 or500 on something
18:07like a Snap-On one and again it will
18:08probably break any chain that you come
18:10up to but these things these 70 odd or
18:1335 as we paid for it these are DIY home
18:17ones and they they're reasonably easy to
18:19break if you use them in the way that
18:21was once directed I show what I mean
18:24take a look at this right there's your
18:27chain right that there your two rollers
18:31inside the chain and you've
18:34got a pin going through there like that
18:39and you've got a big mushroom on the end
18:41as that pin comes through there so the
18:43chain breaker it fits on this end and
18:47this end and this pin comes through and
18:50it pushes on there and it pushes that
18:53pin out that's its job but what it's
18:55trying to do is this mushroom over steel
18:59here and
19:01here it's looking to Shear that off it's
19:04got to literally tear that off the pin
19:07it's got to push that pin through that
19:09hole using the metal link itself as a
19:14shear and it's got to get all this metal
19:16and it's got to rip it off and that's
19:19quite a lot of force and what happens is
19:21this little pin inside here it snaps off
19:24or Worse still it turns into that shape
19:26because this isn't mad enough for the
19:29pen remember these pins in these chains
19:32they are just probably the hardest metal
19:35in your motorcycle take a file and try
19:36and file one of the end of them pins you
19:38won't even make a mark on it they're
19:40just rock hard tall steel you won't move
19:42them so try to push them out with that
19:44little pin you're going to break it so
19:46to preserve your tool to use some common
19:48sense grind the head of the pin off what
19:52I'm suggesting is you take your grinder
19:54and you grind that head off so it's
19:56completely flush with the link and when
19:58you've done that there's no mushroom
20:00left and all you're pushing out is the
20:02internals of the pin which is 10 times
20:03easy I'll show you what I
20:07[Music]
20:12mean there we go so what I've done is
20:14taken that pin and just ground it off so
20:16it's completely flush there's no
20:18mushroom nothing's holding that pin in
20:20other than the resistance or the
20:21friction inside there so let's get the
20:23tool set up and push that pin straight
20:25out now this receiving T this hole here
20:28here will go over the the back of the
20:31pin which you can
20:33feel like that so you can locate it
20:37quite centrally on there but this
20:39protruding pin needs to be inside even
20:42though we've ground the head off that
20:44needs to be inside the hole recess down
20:47out the way like a little mole in its
20:48hole just before you
20:50start and we locate that on the back of
20:53the
20:54chain and then just pinch this in like
20:58that it doesn't even need any more than
21:01your fingertight just fingertight that
21:02up that's all I do hold this still and
21:06then this pin find it now you can
21:10normally take the little T Bar press it
21:13through and start turning and you'll
21:16feel it
21:18yield straight away it's not hard there
21:21you go if it gets really really stiff
21:24really hard stop cuz what you may have
21:26done is missed the PIN
21:29and going and be pushing against the
21:30plate don't stress the
21:33tool here we
21:35go and we just taking that super fine
21:38thread on
21:41here and I've got my finger on the back
21:43of this hole feeling for the pin which
21:45will produce itself or reveal itself in
21:48a
21:52minute it's a nice smooth and even
21:57resistance
22:00it's not getting any stiffer or any
22:02lighter it's just pushing it out there
22:04it goes and all of a sudden it will go
22:06light there it is and
22:10there is the chain
22:12pin that we've just ground the head off
22:14and pushed out so let's literally push
22:17that pin straight out that down there
22:21and
22:22then back that back the spike out
22:25because obviously that's that's through
22:26the
22:27chain
22:30and then back that off
22:35completely there it is take it away job
22:38done and that now just come apart like
22:42that back that right
22:45out drop out the drive pin check the end
22:48of it no burs no nothing lovely nice and
22:51healthy if you grind that head off that
22:53will push that out beautifully just by
22:55using that if you have to start putting
22:57these on the end of that to push then
23:00that's pushing too hard no pin in any
23:03chain will ever be so hard that that t-
23:05bar won't get it out if it is then you
23:07haven't ground the head off properly all
23:09right and that's just common sense
23:11taking care of your tools that you've
23:13paid for pop that back in so I know
23:14where it is and I'm going to leave that
23:17there cuz in a minute when we come to
23:19put the chain back on we're going to use
23:20that
23:22again all right front sprocket cuz we
23:24already got that
23:26off that out the way
23:29now the washer that's in here is
23:32orientated on teeth like
23:34that we are sprock it now when you get
23:36one of these you have a little look um
23:38that's a
23:39standard Triumph chain they come with
23:42this molded rubber damper on it and that
23:44literally is to prevent Rattle and to
23:47damp it a little bit to make it a bit
23:48heavier when you feel them that is
23:51significantly heavier than the JT one
23:53which means the rotating Mass rotating
23:56Mass reciprocating Mass what is it I
23:57can't remember the round mass is less so
24:00the engine doesn't have to work so hard
24:02to turn the bits and pieces so a heavy
24:03sprocket I mean that's nearly double the
24:06weight that factory one but it's
24:07perfectly good so it will carry on in
24:09the
24:11future all right 18 too sprocket
24:13sticking with the factory gearing don't
24:16see any reason to change it do we p no
24:18happy with it as it is want sprocket
24:20back
24:22on turn it around on
24:25there now this as you can see
24:29these teeth or these splines are
24:31sticking out slightly but the nut itself
24:33has got a recess on the back into which
24:35they will fit and then that snuck up
24:37against the washer so it's definitely
24:39that way around not that
24:42way job done that's it bit common sense
24:46to hold that
24:48still what I'm doing is putting that
24:51chain just like that just from there to
24:54there little bit
24:57more simp so what I'm doing is I'm
24:59linking the back wheel to the front we
25:01found that originally the factory
25:03tension on that nut was all there walls
25:06and that was fine for the brakes so cuz
25:08I haven't done anything to the back
25:09wheel I've just loosened it off what I'm
25:11going to do now is just do that back up
25:13using the brakes
25:17again so just using the chain to hold
25:20that
25:27still there we
25:29go
25:32right
25:46it when you take your wheel
25:49out have a look at here
25:53mhm can you see that down there you see
25:56that little thing turning y on its own
25:59that's a spacer so look out for your
26:01spacers because they're going to drop
26:03out at some
26:09point right excellent now the spaces
26:13themselves
26:17they'll here we go
26:21right so space are there get rid of that
26:24so
26:25wheelnut wheelnut washer spacer that's
26:29the next thing in the Train on the other
26:35side here there's a spacer as well and
26:38put it down the way it's orientated that
26:40way so you know it's orientated that way
26:43on and that wheel now we can put on the
26:46bench right before you do anything else
26:48before you get involved in the cush
26:50drives and the sprocket and doing that
26:51put your axle back through this is one
26:54of the most common ways to forget how it
26:56all goes together but your axle back
26:59in caliper mount back
27:04on in that spacer which went on that way
27:07cuz the greasy side's
27:09[Applause]
27:11in and that Cal that that space of
27:15there
27:18through just honestly just dress it back
27:20up in order so that every
27:24faster and spacer is where it's meant to
27:26be right get SP
27:40changed
27:45behind are here's an interesting point I
27:48said
27:50earlier sunar
27:52sprocket exactly the same as the one
27:55we're putting on well the same brand um
27:58just a much nicer one and I guess it
28:01goes to show if the factory choose a
28:03product then it must be very good must
28:05it
28:07well that's better that look nicer oh
28:10much prettier nicer
28:17looking Master of the

29:24sun Master of the
29:26Sun that the Pap
29:32[Music]
29:43B okay now the most important part
29:46really getting this pressure link or
29:50compression link fitted in a proper
29:53manner this is what you get in with the
29:57kit and it's a little bit different to
30:00the ones that used to get years ago
30:02there used to be some that you had a
30:03little clip that went on and others you
30:05mushroom the ends over and these are
30:07nothing like that they're a Precision
30:09thing and they need fitting in a proper
30:11way so I'll show you how to do it using
30:13the tool that we showed you earlier
30:15which we split the chain with right
30:17Chain's on absolutely looks fantastic
30:19wiped off the worst of the white grease
30:21off the outside of the plates but on the
30:23contrary internally inside this link you
30:26need loads and loads of it they Supply
30:28you a little sachche so open that
30:31up it's quite nicely made so it just
30:34comes out the tip and we need to
30:37put little O-rings on as well so you
30:41should get four there we
30:44go and to be exact they're not O-rings
30:47they're x-rings
30:48actually it's to be pedantic so don't be
30:51shy with this stuff get loads of it on
30:53there all around the
30:56base
30:58and then
31:00bury these the first two O-rings in
31:04there get them greased over the
31:07top as
31:11well the more you put on the better like
31:15I said don't be shy put Lots on cuz it
31:18will never get inside this again once
31:21it's done
31:26up Mount the ch on the sprocket and you
31:28want it at about sort of 10:00 or 3:00
31:30whichever side it is and it's holding
31:32both Hales then and then pop that
31:34through from the
31:35inside there we
31:39are more white
31:44grease again you can wipe off any excess
31:47don't be shy with
31:49it and two more of the X Rings over the
31:56top right and then on top of
32:00those some more grease it helps to stick
32:04them in place anyway you won't lose one
32:05and fall off now pop the outer plate on
32:08most of them will have something written
32:09on the outside this one's got Japan so
32:11make sure it's for the sake of OCD make
32:13sure it's not upside down doesn't matter
32:15but you know make sure you take the
32:19trouble to look and then put it over the
32:21two pin and just press it
32:23on until it stops you will not press
32:26that on with your f not unless you are
32:29Steve
32:30Austin and I mean The Bionic Man not
32:32that wrestling Geer who works in the
32:34desert now there we go just hold it
32:37there and the grease will hold it as
32:39well now we need to set out the
32:42tool all right back to our chain tool
32:44now this is where the chain splitter
32:46becomes a chain Riveter so we're going
32:48to take the actual press itself
32:51again lift the back out again he going
32:54to put a different pin
32:56in
32:59right now we're going to use the handle
33:02for the
33:04back we don't need any pins for this one
33:07what we need instead is these two plates
33:09these two plates are effectively the
33:11anvils that will press that on so we fit
33:15the first
33:16one in the back of the press you wind
33:20that right
33:21out and fit the other one in the front
33:25as simple as that now the one with the
33:27rid on it goes on the back cuz that's
33:30going on the back of the chain and it's
33:33going to cover this Ridge come on over P
33:36mhm this Ridge simply covers the two
33:40rivets that are on the back and then
33:43allows it to press on the plate only so
33:45that's what that Ridge is for and on
33:47this one you got two holes in it and the
33:50idea of that is that when that press is
33:52on the front it allows the pins to come
33:54through the holes and it allows the
33:56plate to be pressed over the top of them
33:58so that's the way around it goes It's
34:00The Ridge at the back and the
34:03holes facing you at the front and we pop
34:06it on top Just Wind this out till it's
34:09wide enough to fall over the
34:12top of the
34:15chain got that pen yep so pop the back
34:19one on and pull it this way towards you
34:22so it's in place and you can feel jiggle
34:25up and down you can feel that that Ridge
34:27is engaged on the two pens at the back
34:29nice and evenly then screw this one in
34:31with your
34:35fingers until it just all you want to do
34:39is snuck it
34:41up there we are that's it that will stay
34:44there bring that round out the
34:47way just going to pop a socket on the
34:50end
34:51there and turn
34:54that
34:55handle you can feel it going on but
34:58what's very important indeed is to keep
35:02taking it off and checking how far it's
35:05going on and I'll tell you at this point
35:08it's very important that you don't
35:09squeeze this too much and then just
35:11wedge that too close onto the back pins
35:16and then it will be a solid link you'll
35:18squeeze the O-rings and then it'll be
35:20too far in some Chang of rockets you get
35:23they have two little shims that fit on
35:25the inside and then that stops it going
35:27too far but this kit didn't come with
35:29that so what I'm going to do instead is
35:31measure it at this point before I go any
35:33further I'm do a couple
35:37more applications just you want to do
35:40half a dozen you know don't be shy and
35:42think you can do it in one
35:48go there we
35:52are back off again now when I feel that
35:56with my finger those pins are flush and
35:58they need to come through so there's a
36:00little bit more to go yet before we do
36:02anything else take a measurement in the
36:04absence of the little shims that fit
36:06inside to gauge the width I'm going to
36:08use a caliper on this one so we need it
36:11to be pressed in as much as this one up
36:13here so I'm going to measure that one up
36:15the
36:16top coming on
36:19that exact
36:22measurement and that is 20.5 mil across
36:26so coming in on the one we're squee
36:31we're
36:3322.2 so we've got about a Mill and a
36:35half to go so when they're flush and you
36:38can feel it flush you got about a m and
36:40a half 2 mil to go so keep
36:52going right what I found is a quarter of
36:54a turn on the thread gives you
36:58about A4 of a millim so when that was
37:01right out I've done a whole turn on the
37:03thread to press that in and as you can
37:06see now that's what sticks out I'm
37:07coming in close mhm let's take a
37:11measurement
37:1420.4 and I've
37:18got where are we
37:2220.2 20.2 so that's 02 of a
37:26millimeter further in so as in it's
37:29closer together by0 2 of a mil and I
37:32think that's pretty accurate to get that
37:33exact I don't think You' do it in this
37:36life right now the hardest thing or
37:39let's say the thing that makes people
37:40the most nervous this is the point where
37:41I used to hack it I did it in a hack
37:44method in my old garage video on this
37:46where you put a hammerhead in behind you
37:48put a punch on the front and you Hammer
37:50that punch in but there's a far more
37:52calm and peaceful and ladylike way to do
37:55it so let's show as
37:56done okay setting this up now to rivet
37:59the pin um we use this one to push the
38:02old pin out PL it this time this is the
38:05other one this has got a little Dome on
38:07the end you want to come in close p on
38:09that mhm and put a spring on it as
38:12well right as you see on the end there
38:15you see it close that's got a little
38:17Dome on the end like a little a dimple
38:19but if you look really
38:21close really close it's got a dimple
38:24surrounded by a flat area which is very
38:28important and I use a little diagram
38:30again just to show you how to do that
38:32that drops in back of the magazine again
38:36you screw the press in on top of
38:40it until it pokes out the end and it
38:43doesn't want to poke out the end very
38:45much probably 5 or 6 mil that's
38:47absolutely fine now that we then have a
38:49little Anvil here a little receiver
38:52which goes in that end so that's Now set
38:54up for riveting the pin but I want to
38:56show you what that looks like really
38:59super close up with a drawer in and what
39:01that looks like how we're going to do it
39:03okay so we take the chain the pin we do
39:05one pin at a time if we look at the
39:09pin the
39:11pin looks like that if you blew it right
39:15up with a big camera and this
39:19tool looks
39:21like
39:26that
39:28and when that goes into there what you
39:30end up
39:32with is an
39:34interface between the
39:36two like
39:41that so as you can see as this dimple
39:44pushes inwards to this dimple they're
39:47the wrong shape they're slightly
39:49alternate and as that presses here and
39:52here is going to spread that out that
39:54way and that way like that
39:57so what you end up
40:00with is
40:07this one
40:10piece in the tool like that so that's
40:13from there that's where it touches and
40:16that's what we want to end up with with
40:18that touching each side now this amount
40:20of flare here is extremely exaggerated
40:23for the drawing it actually only flares
40:25out about two or three th000 of an inch
40:28it's tiny just enough because if you
40:31look at
40:32it here is the chain link so you're only
40:37flaring from there outwards very
40:40slightly it's not even a visible flare
40:42you won't see it but what you will
40:43notice is that when you put it up close
40:45we're going to try with the camera
40:46you'll see this Gap where the two don't
40:49quite meet and there's this Gap here and
40:51then you'll see as we press it in it
40:53comes in nice and close and it rests
40:55against the surface like that and you
40:57get a nice flat there so let's get stuck
40:59in so again one pin at a time this is a
41:04little Anvil with a recess in it and as
41:07you can see that fits on the back of the
41:09chain nice and located nice and solid it
41:14won't allow the back of that PIN to move
41:16anywhere it won't press on the plates
41:19pushing them together it only presses on
41:22the pin it doesn't fit right over the
41:24pin you notice it moves around let me
41:25fit fit one on the front if you notice
41:28there it doesn't fit over the pin and
41:31touch the surface of the plate it
41:33actually rests just on the pin alone
41:36meaning that when that's pressing on
41:38there and you're pressing on this end
41:40only the pin is being forced against not
41:43these two plates which will then
41:44collapse them too far together which we
41:46just took all that trouble to set
41:48correctly so that little Anvil just
41:50locates on the back and allows that to
41:53put pressure on the front so let's put
41:56it in place properly
42:03on the
42:05back
42:11oops got to bring that cuz the the outer
42:15one supports the inner
42:16one there we
42:18are now that's locked in now what I'm
42:21going to do is
42:23use the little t- bar because that
42:25doesn't give me much purchase cuz I
42:27don't want to press on it a lot I'm just
42:29going to come in on that and do about
42:33half a turn that's it no
42:35more come
42:43off going to do the other
42:45pin there it is take trouble to line it
42:48up little tar in and half a
42:53turn that's
42:55it that's all it needs
42:57now you can test it if I show you this
43:01take the pin out okay is our first
43:04test I took a little cloth and cleaned
43:07them out and I'm now just taking the pin
43:10out I'm just popping it in to
43:14feel that dimple has still got movement
43:17inside the other dimple one should be
43:18flush up against the other so the
43:20rounded section of this
43:23dimple needs to be fully inside the hole
43:26but at the moment this still still some
43:27of it outside as you can see there's
43:29still a gap there so I need to do
43:31another half turn on them if I can and
43:35see if I can make that go all the way
43:56in
43:59okay try
44:00again and this
44:04time that fits all the way
44:07in so that pin has the The dimple has
44:10gone all the way in and spread itself a
44:13hole big
44:15enough so that that surrounding collar
44:19is
44:20flush so much so that it sits in the
44:23hole so you can press on that harder now
44:26all you like and it won't do anything
44:28because you're not spreading it anymore
44:30you spread it as much as that
44:33dimple is designed to do and any more
44:36than that press any harder you're going
44:38to damage that pin and then break it all
44:40that is perfectly fine no problems at
44:43all well there we go simple use of a
44:46chain splitter and Riveter take it
44:48careful they can be broken there we go
44:53handels keep it all safe so this like I
44:56said was
44:58£35 um it's a silly one there are
45:01Chinese copies I just want to make a
45:03point of this you can spend silly money
45:05on these you truly can and that's
45:07normally I'd call Silly money like 500
45:09quid but then if you're a mechanic doing
45:11this all day long every day you'd have
45:12no choice but to spend that kind of
45:14money on the tool you on your company it
45:16buy it for you anyway but something like
45:17this with DIY use for your garage is
45:19absolutely fine and again quite
45:22surprised went to C's own website £72
45:25went to Wi Moto's website £ 35 same item
45:29so much better value there we go right
45:32now we're going to clean this up and
45:33paint the
45:34link of the
45:36sun memories falling on
45:44concrete leaving you
45:47behind King of Silence in this
45:50[Music]
45:54Ry victim of our car
45:57I'm running in the dark I've into
46:03[Music]
46:10nothing right there we are all done um I
46:15haven't finished this in the sense that
46:17I'm not going to show you adjusting the
46:19wheel because you know how to do that
46:21and I'm not going to finish buttoning
46:22all this up purely because we're
46:24replacing the disc on the other side of
46:26the wheel
46:27in probably the next video on this not
46:29him so we're going to do new discs and
46:31new pads in both ends of the bike the
46:34discs simply haven't turned up yet
46:36otherwise I would have used the
46:37opportunity while the wheel was out to
46:38do it today however today I've just done
46:40that that's chain of sprockets I wanted
46:42to show you the basic mechanical
46:43principles of changing the chain the tip
46:45on getting the front off there with a
46:47brake or using the pin around the axle
46:49you know that one and how to Riv it
46:51chain I'm
46:52quite where's that link gone there it is
46:57um paint the tips of the link with
47:00something bright even if it's tipex
47:02something that you can visually keep an
47:03eye on for the next few weeks while you
47:05ride the bike till that chain runs in
47:06and settles down it is squeezed in
47:09enough they are fled out enough but you
47:11know how it is there was a day when you
47:13mushroomed the end of those pins right
47:15over and you knew they weren't going
47:17anywhere these you really you just flare
47:19them a little bit by a few thousand of
47:21an inch and it just doesn't feel right
47:23the sort of Our Generation you know as
47:26old as you know what I mean basically I
47:28like to keep them so I can keep a visual
47:30eye on it in the past I've painted the
47:31whole link but it's pennies bik and she
47:33only wants too little what's that called
47:35what's that called dragon's blood
47:37dragon's blood nail varish you can put
47:39it on there looks quite cool and there
47:40we are now that chain this gold finish
47:43is pretty uncorroded it's quite um non
47:46feris coating on them so they are pretty
47:48good at staying as they are this chain
47:50is not going to get covered in chain wax
47:52and grease and grime it's going to stay
47:54nice and clean we're going to use a dry
47:56ptfd lubricant on it which will keep it
47:58lubricated but it won't build anything
48:00up on it so that's another thing we'll
48:01talk about another day and there we are
48:03chain sprockets TR scrabbler it could be
48:05TR Bonville TR anything in fact this
48:07could be on a higher booster because
48:09what we're shown you today is just the
48:10basic principles of changing a chainless
48:12rocket it really is easy if you did it
48:14end to endend bash bash knocked it out
48:16it's two hours work at the most it
48:18really isn't the end of the world and
48:20you pay anything from 100 quid for a
48:22chain sprocket set up to 200 quid
48:24depending on how Posh you want to be you
48:26can get C chains to match your bike
48:28which are a bit cool if you're into that
48:30sort of thing or like Penny wanted
48:31something gold to go with the black and
48:33gold on the bike there we are do you
48:35like that is okay that's can I do mine
