cardiffdrz Posted October 10, 2005 6 allen bolts on the rear, when i changed my rear i used new bolts for good practise, burned/bronco would approve i am sure and the castle type nut for the front, just be sure to use the right torque a drop of blue/red locking thread i use blue others will say red a personal choice and bend the washer over. taking your time it will be a 30 min job with a huge difference in the bikes performance Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Yosimite Sam Posted October 10, 2005 Give yourself an hour and a half, and you will need an extra set of hands when putting the back wheel back on because of the disc brakes. Good luck. Make sure you got a 30mm socket before you start, most people don't have them, like me until I attempted to change the front sprocket. Good luck, and enjoy the snow riding.

tom slick Posted October 11, 2005 one tip: loosen the nuts on the rear sproket before you try to loosed the allen head bolts. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DRZ400SK4 Posted October 11, 2005 Level of difficulty is not much beyond doing your own oil change. Just make sure you have some red Loctite for the front sprocket splines and threads, and a torque wrench to torque all the nuts to spec. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
