I am about to change the chain and sprockets on my buddies 2003 R6, and i just wanted to know if there was anything i should look out for or any time saving tips. I have done this on my SRAD GSXR with no problems so hopefully I should be ok with the R6. I haven't really looked at his bike yet but am i gonna need any special tools for things like front sprocket removal or anything like that? Any tips you got I appreciate.
Thanks,
Ben

 

I think they are all pretty much the same.But one ? I have is it ok to put a master link in ,or do you have to take off the swingarm,or put a regular link in.I usually just put a masterlink in but someone told me this was a no no.

 

I change the chain on my old R6, it was easy, my friend I sold it to changed the front sprocket within 15 minutes so that should be pretty easy. Rear takes longer since you have to take off the wheel. Just wear some gloves. My hands stayed black with chain grease for weeks.

 

you will need a rivet tool...the 03 has no masterlink...just rivet

 

grind the rivet off and pop off that link and replace it with a master link thats what i did

 

what kind of set up are u going to run
