Hey all, I'm replacing my chain and sprocket for the first time ever tomorrow. A few questions:
1. What are some common pitfalls that newbies run into when doing this job?
2. Any special tools I should have before I go into it? My friend has a chain breaker, need anything else?
3. Any parts that need replacing in addition to the ones mentioned? I know sometimes stuff gets destroyed no matter what when taking the bike apart, not sure if that applies here.
4. Finally, I have no center stand. But there is a staircase with a decent sized space below it that'll fit the Kat with some room to spare. My plan is to suspend it by running cargo straps from the metal railing to the cargo attachments under the seat (part of the frame, I figure it can support the weight)
Any precautions I can take?
Thanks for any and all advice.
