Thanks for the link, thats a good write up. I'm just switching the countersprocket, so I shouldn't have to cut the chain should I? Every other bike I've had I could just slip it off the countershaft with enough slack on the rear wheel.

 

Nah, just get all the slack you can out of the chain and swap them out. Prolly take you 30 minutes max.

 

Yeah it's a pretty quick job.

 

Installed the 15t last night. Very easy. The most time consuming part of the job was getting the cover off. The metal guard behind the plate was stuck to it and not allowing the cover to come off. Once I seperated them it was easy. On a side note, I tried using a 14.4v cordless impact gun to remove the nut, which was worthless. I finally just reached over and held the rear brake with my right hand and used a breaker with my left hand, and voila, the nut came right off. Took her for a quick shake down run last night and all seemed well. I couldn't get on it though since the roads were wet.

 

then you haven't really felt the difference...and there is a difference...be ready mang!

 

I think it was actually a 14mm

 

I think it's a 14mm head but 10mm bolt threads. Honda has a weird way of measuring bolts.

 

True dat! Going to work today I pulled away from a stop and rolled the throttle on hard at about 5k rpm, front end just starts lifting up! Never did that before.
