Need Help replacing Sprocket/Chain

02Gsxxr · 03-16-2008, 08:47 PM

Looking to order a new sprocket/chain/and RK chain tool. Well never replaced a motorcycle chain and i own a 2002 GSXR-600 just seeing if anybody who has replaced their own could help guide me in the right direction

Just tell them the bike and they'll tell you the size! With the manual its easy to change! I think its 16 and 36 but not quite sure off the top of my head!

Get a DiD chain and Renthal sprockets. You may want to change gearing depending on how and where you want your power.

You need a special tool to put on the rivit.

Also, buy an extra... you will F up the first one... if you don't... then luck was on your side and now you have a extra for "just in case"

Pull the rear tire. Remove rear sprocket attach new one. Remove old chain via master link. Remove front sprocket cover. The front sprocket will take a special MM socket, mine cost me $13 at the auto parts store. Be sure to re torque all bolts and nuts to factory specs. Install new chain.

It quite easy, just remember where everything came from so you can put it back in the same place.

A wise investment is a service manual if you don't already have one.

I'd recommend loosening the counter sprocket first. Good luck with that after the chain is off.
