I have worked on some dirt bikes here and there, as well as cars. I have the user manuals but was looking for some good videos on when to adjust chains, bleeding motorcycle brakes etc.. Anyone have any good books or vids to share please let me know. how often are you cleaning calipers etc..
nomar used to have some good videos on tire removal with a manual machine. chain adjustment will vary as theres a few different types of adjusters. Best tool for that is a couple of rods, long rubber bands, and a tape measure. Put the rods through the swingarm axle and rear axle, attach bands and measure. Works on most modern bikes. Exceptions would be single sided swingarms or bikes with solid axles. (SV, 250s, etc)
The "rod through axle" method doesn't work on all bikes with hollow axles. the hole diameter is different on each side.
forgot... http://forums.13x.com/index.php?threads/new-pod-cast-from-ken-hill.328579/ Such a valuable thread with all kinds of solid information. Theres a 20+ minute interview with Mr. Matheny from a few months ago, you may want to put in your ears.
