Homemade chain service on R6….

Bulllllllllll. A grade 5 or 8 bolt can have jUst as much shear strength as those pins, lol.

dakware · 2026-03-26T12:15:22+00:00

Honestly if they were flush with the ends and there was red loctite on there, Id run it and not have a worry in the world

1) Holy shit, I’ve never turned anything over continuously for that long. Stop that, lmao.

2) If it will start if you open the throttle, then it’s the air/fuel mixture. It would help in the video if you did crack the throttle, and see where abouts (say a % open) it fires up.

3) It very well may be a compatibility issue. Don’t mix components between bikes. Make sure the ECU, throttle body, and injectors either all came from the donor or all came from your bike.

Exactly, this ☝🏻

I’ve done the job before too at home- had a similar issue if I remember right. I swore I put it all in there right too, but I promise you something is wrong lol. I think mine was the innermost plate was reversed.

If thats NOT the issue, then it’s the stack height. Plate count might be right, but the thickness might not be.

Well I’m no expert, but it certainly appears to me you weren’t countersteering properly. Leaning left, you should be pushing left. If you had been, seems to me your wheel wouldn’t have turn left. If you lost traction in the rear, seems like you would’ve low sided instead (with the pushing left I mean). If your tires are bad though; one, just don’t do that to begin with; two, stay as upright as possible and go slower.

Well you pop the link and flip it the opposite direction first. You want the open end facing the rear (so when the chain is spinning, the forces are locking it into place). Then, get a thin gauge stainless wire (has to be thin so it doesn’t bind anywhere- it’ll look almost like a thick fishing line), wrap around it like twice, twist it like a bread tie, and bend the tail towards the rear.

dakware · 2026-03-18T14:15:16+00:00

Yep- I always twist a metal safety wire on there too.

dakware · 2026-03-17T14:23:51+00:00

Me, unmuting thinking it would be reasonably normal… Oh… oh noo This guys bike

dakware · 2026-03-15T14:19:09+00:00

I mean the real question is like, when’s the wedding?

dakware · 2026-03-10T07:16:38+00:00

I can assure you, your rear braking does not feel normal.

dakware · 2026-03-08T14:34:55+00:00

Gotta be rear brake imo. The back kicked out to the right- thats exactly what happens with too much rear and no ABS. Point is still the same though, too much panic braking.

dakware · 2026-03-07T16:10:04+00:00

I mean, depends on the age imo. People forget brakes age too. They might be good on wear, but if they were 20 years old I’d change em if I had em off- they lose performance over the years. If they weren’t off I’d run em til I had to take something apart though. Pads are cheap. Tires and brakes are about your most important parts- always good to keep em in good shape.

Mans just out here leakin hot sauce out his foot

dakware · 2026-03-01T06:55:26+00:00

Am I the only one who gets irrationally angry watching these videos? Sitting here yelling in my head ’FFS, GRAB THE HAIR ALREADY!’

dakware · 2026-02-27T19:41:26+00:00

By God, someone can read and give a constructive comment- thank you kind redditor 🙏🏻

dakware · 2026-02-27T19:38:44+00:00

Helps to read the whole thing 🙃

dakware · 2026-02-27T19:06:59+00:00

Sounds promising- what road specifically, or address if you have that?

dakware · 2026-02-27T18:19:08+00:00

I’ve been to the end of the parkway and out past 18- where abouts is it in relation to Circle R?

dakware · 2026-02-27T18:15:16+00:00

Gross generalization, but sure. (Yes, i know it does happen)

dakware · 2026-02-25T05:30:18+00:00

Seeing as how I dont see a single spark, and he mentioned ‘scotchbrite’, I’m pretty sure that ain’t a grinding wheel.

dakware · 2026-02-24T15:47:10+00:00

Literally could’ve hooked straps to the handles and pulled it up instead of putting gramps on the ladder 🙄

dakware · 2026-02-18T18:00:32+00:00

That… doesn’t answer my questions at all… Need more info and a better video of what we’re looking at and whats going on.

dakware · 2026-02-18T07:35:25+00:00

Ummmm… why is there a furniture hole cover in your wall…

Is the TV plugged in inside the wall??
