guess it depends on the bike, 900rr front sprocket is hella easy, rear isn't hard, but 900rr rear wheels are a pain to put back on, damn brake caliper

Most front sprockets only have 1 bolt. You have to take off the rear tire and about 5 bolts for the rear.

front plus you dont need to get a new chain like you might have to do if you got a bigger back sprocket

I my bike had this done. I only had the bike for about month and the teeth are dead on the rear sprocket. Try to clutch it up or get on the throttle and my chain just skips. Vortex sporckets 1 down, 2 up. Now I got some Sunstar steel sprockets,1down and 5up. Should be on next week.

It wore out so fast because you must have not had a new chain, I get a full season out of my -2 +7 sprockest but I change the chain and sprockets together and keep them lubed.
