Great video, much appreciated. Heading out on a two week tour through Upstate New York, Quebec Canada, Maine, New Hampshire and Vermont. My VFR will be in top shape for the journey.

Nice video. Thank you so much for taking the time to produce and post it. When you have a chance please let me know what size "C" spanner is needed so I can buy the correct one. Cheers Ken

Hello, I am deaf and did not hear the text in the movie, so I ask that the strength of tight screw on the rear monowachaczu. As for the torque wrench not to break loose bolts and chain. Thank you. The film is super

Hello, I think you are meaning the torque setting for the pinch bolt. I do not have the figure to hand but a Haynes manual or factory manual will give all torque settings.

Important to measure the specified chain slack with the bike weight supported on its wheels?

The manual says it should be on its sidestand. This looks just a tiny bit too tight for my taste.

I recently bought a vfr800 (2000 model) and, after a strip down to give her a good clean, I found I couldn't work out how to the front sprocket cover off! The slave cylinder seems to be in the way??

Jason Shinks don't think of it as in the way rather it sits on top. You can remove the cover and slave as one if you remove the correct bolts, so use a manual.

Shouldn't the chain be adjusted for tension whilst the bike is on the side stand ?

When you work on your own it’s impossible so I allow a little extra or set it at a slack setting, then check again on side stand

Last time I took my 1997 RC36 to a garage for chain readjustment, the chap didn't touch the pinch bolt but loosened the axle nut instead. Would that do?

Youngturk don’t take it there again! Did he torque it back up to 202Nm? Do as I did here in the video, there’s no other method to adjust chain chain tension.

I didn't observe him use a torque spanner but to be fair that might have escaped my attention. But he definitely went for the axle nut. I reckon I shouldn't attempt to do it unless I have a torque spanner myself then. Many thanks for the valuable advice. Much appreciated.

Lot of incorrect info ... chain is adjusted way too tight from camera angle in vid, chain adjustment should always be done with bike on its tyres to pre-load the suspension, ideally someone of comparable weight as rider to be seated on bike while chain is slack adjusted, or it will be too tight, hence the danger factor of a bike falling over, no manufacturer would suggest to do this task as stated above, hence they give an approx slack measurement to be adjusted on centre stand for safety, which is in fact too tight for most rider weights.
