The factory chain probly dosent have a master link. You are going to need a chain tool to press the pin out and reinstall the new chain also. A hammer and punch works also.

What he said.... use a dremel or cutting wheel to remove the old chain.
then ideally press the new links together (DO NOT FORGET THE O-RINGS) with a chain tool.
Be careful breaking the nut on the countershaft.
The rear is gravvy.
Sound off if you need help... and let us know where you are.

alright i also recently replaced my chain, did everything u guys just said, but for some reason the master link was REALLY hard fit. even after i got the link in, there is this big kink where it is. so now when i ride it makes a clanking sound when the master link hits the sprockets. is this spose to happen. my brother told me that the kink will eventually go away after a couple thousands miles. is this true, if not please tell me so i dont go about damaging anything else.

You might want to break the countershaft sprocket nut while you still have the wheel and chain on the bike. That way you can step on the rear brake to keep the engine from turning if it's really on there tight. Once that's off then cut the chain and remove the rear wheel. Once the wheel is off install the new sprockets. Snake the new chain around the countershaft and measure what you have to cut off. Press it back together and you'll be on your way. Dont forget to bring your wheel forward before you cut the new chain.
It's easiest to press the new link on if you have it on the back sprocket, holding the two ends together.

Do we really have to fight over who uses the back brake or not?
