Front/rear sprocket & chain replacement
Hi peeps,
So i have been looking through the haynes manual and it seems alot to take apart just to replace a front and rear sprocket and chain.
Perhaps i will just have to grin and bear and spent some time doing it.
Any shortcuts?

You don't have to remove the swingarm....
Use a chain with a soft link and a chain tool....or get your local shop to do it, sorted!

The guy wants to change the sprockets too, not just the chain.
