Renthal sprockets (hard anodised rear) and Tsubaki chain kits are the best replacement, they last up to 4 times longer than the oem
Get them cheaper at B & C Express at this link http://www.bandcexpress.co.uk/buy/Ts....HA.AP.988#eq1 |

Other than what's been mentioned already, the most tricky part is undoing the gearbox sprocket nut. Roll the bike up to a wall so the front wheel is jammed against it, put bike on the side stand, get someone to hold the back brake down with their foot whilst you crack the nut. Don't be tempted to do it in gear, it's not necessary and you may break something!

I forgot to mention that the Renthal kit from B & C comes with the exact number of links for that size of sprocket and a split link, which if installed properly is as safe as a closed link joint which need the chain riveter. After the original set wore ever so prematurely on my bike, I have always used those kits and never had one going wrong. I've found some old pics of the last kit I bought from them with the gold renthal chain too.
