Guest Snurf Posted June 12, 2013 Share Posted June 12, 2013 I'm trying to replace my chain. Do I have to remove the huge bolt as seen in the attached picture to properly do it? (my current issue is that I don't have a big enough wrench) I watched this video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kMGxMxvUTV0 And it looks like he has everything taken off. If I do need that tool can someone confirm that the bolt size is 46mm? (That's what it said in the manual) Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

superfunkomatic Posted June 13, 2013 Share Posted June 13, 2013 You can cut the chain with a Dremel and take it off. If you're also replacing the sprockets the rear one is a cinch - just take off those 6 - 17mm (I think) nuts on the sprocket. The front sprocket you have to take of the speedo connection and the clutch cylinder at the bottom (watch it will pop its guts out if you don't hang on to it). There's a post on here on how to do it. One sec.... It takes about 45-60 minutes to do if you're remotely handy with tools. Not particularly difficult to do.

Veefer800Canuck Posted June 13, 2013 Share Posted June 13, 2013 No, you do not undo the rear axle nut to change chain and sprockets. Download the service manual from the downloads section of VFRd and it will explain all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
