instructions for changing front sprocket(hawk 250)
I searched but didn't find anything. Is there instructions or a video? All I see mention of is how easy it is but not how to do it

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. |

I could not get my cover back on with a 17t and the chain on so I had to take the chain off before putting the cover on and feed the chain through after.

I had the same issue with the cover, a light tap of a rubber mallet fixed it in a hurry
