Before: After Step 3: Put the bike in neutral and slide the new chain through the front sprocket and wrap it around towards the rear sprocket. Use the rear sprocket to get the two ends together. You may have some trouble getting the two ends together, if that’s the case, loosen up your chain adjusters. Step 3a: If your chain is too long you will have to cut some links off of the chain.

Repeat Steps 1 & 2 to cut the chain to proper length (double, even triple check that the length is correct, you don’t want to end up with a short chain). Step 4: Take your new master link and install 2 o-rings (1 in each pin) and insert master link through the chain. Install 2 more o-rings into both of the pins and install the face plate. Step 5: Press the face plate using the correct tool as pictured. Step 6: Now the master link can be riveted by using the riveting tool and the correct size anvil.

Left side is now riveted. Both sides are riveted. Step 7: Ensure that you have proper chain slack and adjust accordingly. As mentioned by ryan97812, it is a good idea to wipe off the excess lube to prevent from flinging-off and getting you and your bike dirty. Enjoy your new chain!

My dad was on the rear brake while I loosened the nut and the brakes were slipping a little. We ended up lowering the bike off the stand and then holding the brake. That suckers tight.

Anyways, I did get the sprocket on last night and took it for a ride this morning. The bike definitly has more pep to it. I love how there is less engine braking now, making it a smoothier ride. Overall I'm happy with the performance now.

I'm actually scared to hit the throttle hard. Before I would hit it hard and be dissappointed in the pickup, now it feels good. I checked the speedo and I only seem to be off by 5 MPH at 70 MPH (so I read 75 when I'm going 70). Although I checked by having by dad drive next to me (on his Kawi Nomad) and seeing what his bike reads, but he probably has some error in his as well, but I'm ok with what my bike reads. I would have used my GPS, but I'm having problems with it right now.
