Have you thought about changing sprocket teeth to reduce highway rpm? What sprocket would you recommend
@BlueEyedRider84
9 ай бұрын
I have not as I rarely ride the highway - I prefer the twisty country roads. Even so, you'd want to do a small change rather than anything drastic. I recommend adding a tooth to the front or removing a tooth from the rear. Remember, lower rpm on the highway (higher top speed) reduces acceleration/power.

So you had to remove the fairing to get to number 1 bolt?

No, you do not need to remove any fairings

There is a single bolt hole to the right of the sprocket but it doesn't line up with the sprocket cover. What is that bolt hole for?

Are you referring to the big hole to the right that's in the frame? In the video thumbnail its the big hole to the right of my hand. Or are you referring to the mysterious hole that is essentially at the top of the thumb part of my hand that you can't see in the thumbnail? Just want to make sure I know exactly which bolt hole you are referring to.

@@BlueEyedRider84 no, it's right next to the sprocket and it comes out from the gear box case (I believe). It almost looks like it could be one of the holes you bolt the sprocket cover to.

Okay - that is just an unused bolt hole - and I'm actually not even sure if it is threaded, I would have to look next time I take the cover off. It may have been for manufacturing or for some sort of special tooling or perhaps for a different model bike - though the Versys is the same so not sure. In either case, nothing is missing and from my knowledge can't be used for anything from our perspective.

@@BlueEyedRider84 thanks for clarifying. I cleaned my front sprocket today and couldn't figure out what it was for. I thought something may have been missing. It does look to be threaded. Could be utilised during manufacturing, as you suggested.

I wonder if u could get away with leaving that one bolt out
@BlueEyedRider84

Possibly, but the engineers had to put it there for a reason, right? 🤔 Unless it was one of those engineering strategies just to make mechanics mad lol

@BlueEyedRider84 true. But an old mechanic told me a story when I was a green horn diesel mechanic. A long time ago a mechanic was caught in bed with an engineer's wife and we are all paying for it to this day. 😀 I wouldn't leave it out but I am curious if people have.

How often do you clean that area? I do about 2,000 miles a year on pavement only . rarely ride in the rain unless caught while out already.

I clean it every 2k miles or so. I haven't really come up with a standard timeframe. Unless you put mega miles on you can probably clean it when you do your annual maintenance. As you could see mine was dirty and I had just cleaned and done my chain - it isn't something I do all the time, but you don't want it to build up with too much gunk or it'll affect the chain and sprockets. So use your best judgement - see how it looks in the Spring and decide if you're happy with that or if you think it needs to be done a little more often. It depends a lot on environment (dirt, dust, etc) and the type of lube you use. These things can impact how quick the grime builds up so it's possible that you could lean it more often or less often.
