im going to install my new 13/40 primary drive sprockets with o-ring chain soon and just wondered if theres a specific order it has to be done in?
whats the best way to install new chain and sprockets?

It's easier to loosen the front sprocket bolts first so you still have the chain and rear tires to help the whole sproket from spinning when you loosen the bolts. Use blue loctite on the bolts before you install them. Remove the master link to take the chain apart. Be real careful not to loose the master link spring clip.
haha. i dont think i'll have a problem taking the old stuff off, but when i put the new chain on, should i put both sprockets on and then try to pull the chain tight myself to put the master link on? or put on the chain with the rear sprocket on but not the front and then put the front sprocket on? im just lookin for the easiest way to install it
Put both sprocket on first and just snug the bolts. Put you chain on and tighten it to spec. Go back and tighten the sprocket bolts.
ok. thats how i thought it should be done but just wanted to ask the more mechanically inclined guys to be sure. thanks
this may seem like a dumb question, but how do you tighten the chain? everything is installed now but the chain is too loose. cant figure out how to tighten
