Title: S2R 800 changing to a 14 t sprocket. Post by: brimo on May 06, 2008, 06:09:45 PM Best bang for your buck mod I reckon.
Another popular one on "that other site" Step one: Bike up on rear paddock stand in gear 2: remove front sprocket cover 3: loosen rear axle retaining bolts 4: loosen chain 5: remove clutch slave cylinder, don't touch the clutch lever after this!!! 6: remove 2 little sprocket bolts 7: turn retaining ring and remove 8: remove sprocket 9: put new one on, blue thread locker on threads, torque bolts to 6 N-m / 4 ft-lb 10: replace other bits, adjust chain, torque value on axle pinch bolts is 33 nm, 24 ft/lb go for a ride ( after taking it off the paddock stand otherwise you won't get very far) Title: Re: S2R 800 changing to a 14 t sprocket. Post by: SKOM on May 08, 2008, 07:16:28 AM I did the same thing on my S2R 800.
Although I didn't have a spanner to slacken up the chain. I tried using a screwdriver and hammer but no go. There is a tool you can buy from CA cycleworks but I was too cheap to fork out the 20 bucks. I managed to get the sprocket off because my chain was a bit loose anyway. Getting it on was a super pita. :bang I'd recommend getting the tool to turn the eccentric as it will make your life easier. just my 2 cents. The instructions above are right on the money. ;) Title: Re: S2R 800 changing to a 14 t sprocket. Post by: brimo on May 08, 2008, 02:23:34 PM yep, buy that tool, you'll need it eventually to adjust your chain. There is a couple around, the genuine duc one is a bit pricey though, there's also fleabay, (hammer and screwdriver???? oh dear! damage that eccentric and it'll cost you more than 20 bucks to fix;) )

I do a lot of freeway riding and in the carpool lane to keep up you have to do 85-90...allegedly. At those speeds I'm running around 5300 rpms. What would the revs be with the 14t? Will my 800 become a wheely machine (I like both wheels on the ground, thank you very much)?

Will my 800 become a wheely machine (I like both wheels on the ground, thank you very much)? both weehls will stay down, its just alot smoother in low speed areas (Citys)as far the rpm goes you will elevate them a bit but nothing big Title: Re: S2R 800 changing to a 14 t sprocket.

Oh and Long Live the DMF! Title: Re: S2R 800 changing to a 14 t sprocket. Post by: jagstang on May 15, 2008, 05:40:07 PM Ok, so I have a spanner and a 14t sprocket in the mail, probably coming tomorrow. I REALLY want to install it tomorrow! Problem is that I don't have a rear stand, and I'm not very mechanically skilled with motorcycle maintenance anyway.
1) Is it possible to replace the sprocket with the rear wheel on the ground? 2) What direction do you turn the eccentric to tighten or loosen the chain? 3) What are the torque specs for the pinch bolts on the swing arm? Thanks! Title: Re: S2R 800 changing to a 14 t sprocket. Post by: brimo on May 15, 2008, 10:24:54 PM Yesit is possible to change the sprocket with the wheel on the ground, just requires a bit of moving the bike back and forth when you loosen off the chain.
In this is the danger that the bike will fall off the sidestand and on to you. :o Best to get a friend to help if you are gonna do this. Can't remember which way to turn the eccentric but you will see it happen when you turn the thing anyway as it doesn't take much of a turn to move the wheel a long way. Torque spec for rear pinch bolts is 33n/m not sure what that is in pounds,shillings or pence. Title: Re: S2R 800 changing to a 14 t sprocket.

Post by: jagstang on May 17, 2008, 12:23:27 PM Got it on just fine this morning, you can turn that eccentric just fine without it being in a stand. But OMG, what a difference that little sprocket makes!
Title: Re: S2R 800 changing to a 14 t sprocket. Post by: brimo on May 20, 2008, 07:25:03 PM oops :-[ incorrectly stated the torque value for the rear pinch bolts, it should be 33n/m. Have edited previous posts, apologies
Title: Re: S2R 800 changing to a 14 t sprocket. Post by: Research Monkey on May 20, 2008, 08:35:25 PM This post won't help... but i found a thread in a random motorcycle forum that has a "how to" with pictures on a duc. Been trying to find it for half an hour now. I just recently saw it within the last few weeks.
