I’ll start by saying a massive thanks to my mate Ollie for helping out on this one and supplying some of the additional tools.. show him some love in the comments 🙂
In this video I show you how to change the chain and sprockets. It is quite a fast paced video after all the editing but the original was close to 30 minutes long which is just too much.
If you haven’t done this change before I would recommend giving yourself a day to not worry about rushing it and maybe even a weekend if you want to go all out on cleaning everything really well.
I purchased this kit from ebay (literally just typed in “chain and sprockets for GSX650f)

with the chain splitter, did you grind head off the old link or just put splitter straight on? cheers
Good job, i have gsf650 k8 but dont have press instrument
Good job and thx for video
Very informative many thanks.
I'm following your lead. The allen bolt at the speed sensor is what mm? Also, the front sprocket bolt is what mm? Thanks!
cheers – very helpful.
How did you get the first nut off the front sprocket? Your Hand was in the way. Is it the allen key coz mine don't wanna move!
Bloody hell mate your were not wrong about that sprocket nut being tight, I spent about 3 hours trying to get if off on my own, I think my breaker bar looked more likely to snap than for the nut to undo. Got if off this morning it took a 1 inch drive breaker bar with a heavy trolley jack handle used over the handle for extra leverage.
made a start to this today, but as I thought would be the case, I didn't have a socket big enough for the front sprocket , do you remember what size it was ? my mate will probably have one in his collection.
got to do that job on my 07 plate 650bandit now that's a job for me to get stuck into while I am stuck at home in lockdown.
What year is the bike?
See, look at how much faff this is. On a Gs500 this is a 10 minute job without having to remove half the electrics and plastic.
what lube do you prefer to use on the chain?
Good video, the pace is bang-on. What did you use to break/rivet the chain? Looks like a DID KM500, any info would be good. Especially if it's not that one (as it's over £100).
About to do this on my Baby blu. I need to start collecting the shit i need. Thanks playa, this helped so much haha
What is that line runs along the left swing arm? Is your bike an ABS version?
Hi there
I'm finding your videos interesting as iv just bought a 2012 bike same as yours..
My question is have you ever change your head light bulbs as I would like to put LED.s in the 2 small driving lights ?
Nice job, but next time I recommend cleaning up front sprocket area from old fat and dirt, preferably with a brake cleaner and compressed air.
make sure you take a picture of the gear change selector rod at the position you took it off! I put mine on the wrong angle and couldn't select the gears properly. Lesson learnt!. Great video as always matey.
