I can't see a sprocket and chain change being a big job. Grab a factory service manual for your bike and read up on the process.

It can be a nice little job to do on your own. Best to have, borrow or have someone use a chain master link rivetting tool to ensure it is rivetted properly and to ensure safety and longevity. The old chain can be unrivetted or simply cut via a hand grinder with a cutting disk. A grinder on sale at Canadian Tire will do the job.

I saw a rivetting tool at GPBikes recently for about $65. Royal Distributing and Parts Canada and lots of on-line bike sites offer motorcycle chain rivetters of varying quality. DID has one for about $150.

D.I.D. and RK chains are the OEM for the F4i.
If you go -1/+2 you need a speedohealer or speedoDRD or else your speedo and odometer will be off about 14%.

A good site to play around with if you are going to change your gear ratio is www.gearingcommander.com.

In addition to the tools for pressing together and riveting the master link and a grinder of some sort, you'll probably need an air impact for getting the front sprocket nut off.

Change it to -1+2. I have it on my f4i. My buddy has a stock f4i and I can pull on him at the line or at 150km/h
(on the track of course)

Not for an F4i, there is no front sprocket nut, its a bolt and doesn't need impact to remove it

I have had sucesses via firmly applying the rear brake with my foot and using a long bar handle on the socket to loosen the front sprocket nut/bolt. Of course the loosening is done before the chain is loosened or cut off.
