If your just changing your front sprocket, your going to need to:
-Be sure your bike is in neutral! You dont want the transmission taking the force of the wrench tightening and loosening the sprocket. You can put a screwdriver in one of the teeth of the rear sprocket to lock it in place.

-Loosen your rear wheel, and chain adjustments(Still leave them slightly tight until you get the old sprocket loose)
-Remove your shift lever
-Remove the sprocket cover, The bolts top and bottom of the cover where the chain disappears into the engine.
-Leave the chain over the sprocket and around the rear sprocket
-Remove the two bolts holding the old sprocket on, and remove the retaining clip.
-Loosen the rear wheel adjusters enough to remove the old sprocket, and slide the new sprocket with chain over the shaft.
-Get the chain tight enough to not skip on the sprocket
-Put the retaining clip back on, and reinsert the two bolts (With Blue Loctite!) to secure the sprocket in place.
- Many have had trouble getting the gear cover back on after installing the larger sprocket, mine gave me a little trouble, but a little wiggling and persuasion should get it to seat back into place. Make sure you dont pinch any wires coming out of the stator cover. I would use Blue loctite on those bolts as well.

Set your chain tension and tighten everything up! You should be good to go.
