Easy enough to chance chain and sprockets ? Do I need any specialist tools ? Any tips or advise would be appreciated .

Our Paul doesn't need pansy things
like chain splitters - he does it with the throttle!!!!
Blow lamp?

Ohhh! Be careful with that blow lamp. Remember that there's an oil seal directly behind the sprocket!
Leave some freeing agent to work for a few hours and revert to heat as a last resort.
Good luck

Thanks for all your advise guys
.Decided to take the easy option and got Dennis Irvine to do it for me . Got the bike picked up new ,sprockets ,chain all for just over £130 , not bad considering M&P were going to be £100 for parts alone .
Will definatly be giving Dennis my custom again :D

McG's once put a split link chain on my CBR 600, didn't cause any probs. Made sure I didn't get one again though.
A decent size torque wrench (£10 Autoparts King STD) is enough to take the front sprocket off - (and someone to hold the bike onto the ground)
