Not noticeable at all.so the +1 front sprocket buts everything "in synch" is it enough to change the take off or 0 - 60 or basically noticeable at all.....

You want to buy it for me?...Dude, just get a speedohealer and save the lawsuit for another day.
:rof::rof::rof:"The FOOLS! I have tricked them into 8.5% less warranty time than they are due! Mwa hahahahaha! Now, where's the kitty that I wanted to kick through an electric fan?"
Stock chain is good. Took me about an hour from the time I walked into the garage to when I went back in the house. I am fairly anal about mods, so I plan them out, go through them in my head, then actually do them.Did you have to get a new chain or was the stock one long enough? How long do you think it took you to do?
Thanks. I'm the same when it comes to doing a mod for the first time. I'll spent countless hours researching and planning it, even if its a 20 min job....just don't want to screw it up.Stock chain is good.

You need to disconnect the shift lever rod and move it out of the way to create clearance for the new sprocket to go on the spline shaft.
Oh, and this is by far the dirtiest mod you will ever do. If you don't want "mechanic hands" for 2 weeks, wear a pair of protective gloves.
If I were to do it again, it's take about 20 minutes.
I would think you would need to loosen the rear axle and the chain tensioners to accommodate the new sprocket and the increased chain tension vs the smaller sprocket. So a rear swingarm stand is in order so that can be done without the weight of the bike sitting on the rear wheel. Not sure if you can slide the gear on over the shaft with the chain on it tho. Might have to pull the chain off the rear sprocket and once the gear is in and tightened you can put the chain on the front and then the rear sprocket. Put the front sprocket cover and shift linkage back on and adjust up the rear for proper chain tension and alignment. Pretty standard.I'm imagining it's as easy as sliding off the sprocket with the chain, replacing the sprocket and sliding it back onto the drive shaft: Meaning you don't have to really "remove" the chain?
If it's that simple then I'll take care of this in the near future.
This weekend if the gear comes in time...Sounds like we need a full write-up/how-to on this mod. It seems easy enough, but a nice write up would be good for everyone.
There is a hard plastic chain guard that sits close to, and above, the front sprocket. It takes some force to deform the guard when you push the +1 sprocket and chain onto the spline. Once it's in place there is no interference.I thought I remember reading in that other thread about the +1 front that some piece or guard had to be removed or ground off??? The +1 gear fits OK without any grinding???
I should have taken pictures. I usually do. This is what I did:Sounds like we need a full write-up/how-to on this mod. It seems easy enough, but a nice write up would be good for everyone.
Correction......remove the plastic part and slide the sprocket, chain and the plastic piece together onto the spline. It's easy, just go slow and you damage nothing. No rubber mallet needed!12) Tricky part - the chain placed on the larger diameter sprocket (+1 tooth) creates a slight interference with the plastic chain guard that sits a couple inches above the spline shaft. You will need to force the chain under the chain guard. I tapped mine on with a rubber mallet.
Be careful and use some towels as I ended up scratching the inside of the rim. A little touch up paint will fix it but could have been avoided.7) Remove chain from rear sprocket. Let it hang there.
Correction......disconnect the shift linkage by loosening the bolt under the rubber dust boot. Leave the spline alone. Don't lose the washer.8) Remove the Shift arm from its spline (3) and rotate the shift rod back towards the rear of the bike
