Their is no reason to remove the swing arm, unless you get an endless chain or you want to replace the swing arm bearings. 99% of the replacement chains come with a rivit link to reconnect the new chain Put the bike on the centerstand, if you have the stock exhaust. Loosen the front sprocket first!! then unhook one end of the shocks, disconnect the rear calaper too, the rear will drop down far enough that you can now slide the axel out & remove the wheel. Install the new sprockets & reassemble

Agreed. These things are way easy to work on knowing these simple tips.

Ok, I uploaded a few docs I had around, one being the manual. The GS Addiction site has all the docs, the manual itself is here. It's big, 22mb.
