Seriously. Thank you for this. I been procrastinating cleaning behind the front sprocket cover specifically because I saw the clutch system attached and was worried there might be something I wasn't prepared to deal with when taking it off. ❤

Merci pour la vidéo ça va m’aider pour nettoyer derrière ce cache au niveau du pignon 🙏

Thanks for posting this, I’ve got to tackle it on my 2002 VFR this weekend. Also, as a Brummie living in exile down south, it’s great to hear a Midlands accent on a YouTube tutorial! 👍

Thanks for the video. Very helpful, particularly the link testing as I had no idea how to know when it is time to replace it.

Nice video, just what I was looking for. Got confused because on one page of  the repair manual for my 1999 VFR it was told that the clutch needs to be drained before removing the slave cylinder, but I didn't believe that was necessary: just as your video confirmed.

Thank You Much Appreciated! Mine is not for replacement yet but your video is gone a be very useful when time comes.

Great job guys that's gotta feel nice to ride again  now. Good tip for keeping  bolts in order is to poke them through  a piece  of card in the same position as you take them off.🤘

Mate, this was a great vid. I'm just doing exactly the same on my 800Fi only taken a week! doing it on the drive between rain storms and awaiting the chain splitter etc etc. But all went well until the easy bit of refitting the front sprocket cover, and after trying to see why its not going on the last 10mm I guessed its that rod. As this has taken an age I think the piston, just quietly crept out a little each day. But thanks to you I now know what to do! Incidentally I removed my sprocket cover in one piece, so fewer bolts to get wrong ( as you mentioned I think there's three long ones, but one of these is about 8mm shorter than the others o/a length probably about 110mm, so to be just a little shorter is annoying). But I will now remove the clutch bit to push the piston back and maybe the other bit if the mounting that fits over the sprocket nut doesn't align easily.  
Thanks again ....rains stopped so lets see if I can do this!

Great video fellas!   Big help!

Craig i`m doing this now to mine and yes front sprocket was full of dudu, my bike has rear seat frame off as well as i found a bad earth that had melted all the way to the fuel tank pump, wires and gubbins all over the damn place lol.😁

Thanks for making the video! I just discovered that my 98 VFR chain is way too lose. Trying to research now to see if I can remedy it or if I need to replace it.

Good one went well the old sprockets didn't look horrendous but that chain was certainly buggered ,bet it felt and sounded great .👍

Should have held the sprockets together side by side to compare.

Great video Craig , The AD Extreme bike cleaner did well there usally for something with heavy grease or old chain lube the Extreme chain and sprocket cleaner will shift it with ease , your new apprentice looks a bit dodgy tho 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

be careful with old bikes our mondeo takes ages to start up probably because we go to every carboot at 7am in Skegness

Top job fella's,talking of brushing your teeth,if you dont get
that crap up off the decking Mav,you'll have none to brush lol ;-)
Ride Safe Mr B \m/

thx bro. my chain is tight>loose>tight>loose so i guess my front sprocket is not centered and i had to take that front cover. thx for guide

what is that plastic cover he removes at 6:09? my chain broke while riding and cracked it and I'm looking to get a replacement.
future thank you for the helpful video (for when I do get around to getting another chain xD)

8:30 how did you keep the rear wheel still while you took out the bolts??

What did put on the frame near the seat? Carbon fiber tape?
