Default sprocket change

I recently bought a 520 conversion kit with a 1 down in the front and up six in the rear my question is does all the plastic have to come off in order to replace the sprockets ? does any one have any pics off it?

Reasonably easy to do, no body plastic needs to be removed, just rear wheel, and normally sprocket cover at the front.

Uh..... jack? Try a rear stand. When removing the slave cylinder to get to the front sprocket cover DO NOT BLEED THE CLUTCH!!!! I don't care what the manual says. Trust me.

yes, use a rear stand. there is nowhere to use a jack. and no body pieces need to be removed.

-1/+6 huh? that's insane!

Sounds like you are planning on doing around 10mph in first gear with a change like that!!!!! Been on many sportbikes?
