going down 1 in the front, how hard is that to do and whats a good brand to buy and where?? THANKS!!

 

Very easy to do, we're talking like a 20 minute job first touching the bike to clean up. All you have to do is put your bike up on a rear stand, loosen the axle and adjust the chain adjustments all the way in. You have a plastic cover over the front so you have to remove it. Two screws only... if it's stuck from grease and dirt... pry it off. You can move the sifter linkage out of the way by taking the top pinch bolt out and letting it hang out of the way. Then you have to remove the front sprocket and put the new one on. Fit your chain back on and adjust the chain. Leave the adjustments all the way in... then start by counting the turns as you adjust them out. That's the easiest way to get it right. Make sure you have about an inch of free play left in the chain and you're set. As for brand... I have AFAM and PBI. I haven't ran either long enough to see how they wear. Check with one of our sponsors... I bought my AFAM from calsportbikes
