Alright busy night. Got my sprockets in today. I personally went -1 front (15T) and +1 Rear (47T) 525 pitch Stock chain length worked perfect. I am super happy with how she rides. Here is another nice "How To". I do not go over the rear wheel removal for the most part, since it is really really easy. I figure people doing this at home are pretty mechanically minded folks. These are the highlights and tips *I used*. I tried several ways before i took each photo. ENJOY!!
Lift your motorcycle. I am using spools i picked up tonight from Cyclegear. (Couldn't 'safely' carry the stand on my motorcycle-so floor jacks tonight!)
Locate and loosen the binder bolt for the shift linkage 8mm.
*Mark the alignment* I just drew a little 'dot' where the opening was. Look close you can see it.
***REMOVE the entire bolt!***
Pull the linkage off. Its a bit tight but it works.
*UPTADED* Remove these two bolts and slide the shift linkage out of the frame, towards rear wheel.
Un-clip the wires from this hold down.
Use your 5mm with an extension to remove the three(3) screws on cover. Remove cover.
Your front sprocket will have a 30mm nut on it,,, here is how to remove it without an impact gun.
Sit on top of your bike, and place your heel on the brake lever.
Use a breaker bar inside your left foot to loosen the nut. mine was TIGHT!! Be prepared.
