id leave the oil the same and just playing wit your fork adjustments...as for doing the chain yourself you better do it right... u dont want that shit breakin and takin the motor out.. its happn 2 me b4... u need a chain breaker tool, a tool to push the plate on and a tool to mushroom the pins out.. squeeze too hard and the chain will bind causin it to snap..also take ur time measuring out how many links to cut off, move the adjusters all the way foward lay the chain on the sprockets... measure 50 times.. cut it once or the chain is shit... do it right!!! n yea i kno they have removeable links... i dont like them..
