Is it easy to install . I can turn a wrench but dont want to mess up my brand new bike either.

 

Easy as pie. Zip off the metal cover thingie, flatten the lock washer, throw a giant ratchet on it, and loosen / remove the big nut. It may be kinda stiff. Leave the bike on the ground and have a friend sit on it to keep the back wheel from spinning. Don't put it in gear and use the engine as leverage you can break the inside of the transmission. Slip on the new sprocket, put the chain on it, reverse procedure.

 

Thank you ,but will I need to adjust the chain

 

No offense, friend...but if you have to ask that question you may want to rethink doing this yourself.

Besides...everyone I have ever heard of, including myself...had to get a damn impact wrench to take that front nut off the first time. Or take some sort of extreme measure.

Maybe get a buddy that knows how to work on bikes and either watch him, or have him supervise you to do so...because, yes you will have to adjust the chain and I'm assuming you'll need to learn how to do that.

Its by no means hard, but if you've never done it before even the most simplest of things can be hard.

 

Just use an impact wrench.

Don't question whether you should be doing this yourself. It was the easiest mod I did. But you need the right tool.

 

I had a friend sit on the bike (in nuetral) so the back wheel did not spin and it required a socket (mmm I think it was a 1+1/16 socket... I did not have the 26mm or whatever size metric socket that was "really" required)
I used a breaker bar (I had about 4 feet of leverage). It came off.

Yes I did re-adjust the chain but that is pretty easy too.

Tighten it back up tight and your good!

Not hard... Worse comes to worse, take it to the shop and say, "Hey, I need to pay alittle some-some to complete what I started..." No biggie. Say it with pride... Dammit I tried.

Go for it!!!

 

Yes, this is correct. I find the standard (American), fits better than the metric 26mm. It has a more snug fit.

 

Thank you .I can read so I know Ill figure out the chain part
