Sorry to hear about you chain. A couple of things. You wont be able to get the front sprocket off without a chain being attached to it unless you have airtools, then its still dificult. Rear sprocket is easy to do. Make sure that the chain kit you get is correct for the model you hvae. The 'S' kit is shorter then the naked, and the rear sprockets are different. Also make sure that it comes witha split link. This will enable you to ride the bike to your dealer and get them to rivet the chain for you.
To fit the front sproket you need to remove the clutch cable assembly as well which is easy. If you do decide to do the fornt once you have fitted the chain, then you will need a breaker bar, a 30mm(i think) socket, a heavy duty plank of wood. Put the wood through the back wheel so that it rests under the swing arm on both sides, this stops the wheel from spinning, then tap the retaining washer flat by the sprocket nut, then undo the nut....!!!
Personaly after all the hassle and for the sake of saving £20-30 id take it to an indepent garage and get them to do it.
