    First step - front and rear stands for the bike. The rear takes 12mm swingarm spools. For the front, try a steering stem stand, You need to get enough height off the ground so you don't have to take the front guard off - the bolts are on the inside and can't be accessed if the wheel is out... bit of a pain if you can't get the wheel out.

    Tools.

    6mm Allen key sockets for the pinch bolts
    14mm Allen key for the front axle
    12mm socket for the front caliper bolts.

    24 or 27mm socket for the rear axle.
    10/12mm spanners for the chain adjusters
    New split pin for the rear axle nut

    Torque specs
    Front Axle 110NM
    Front calipers 28NM
    Front pinch bolts 20NM
    Rear axle 88NM + tighten to get the split pin in.
    Chain adjusters hand tight.

    You will need a torque wrench for the tightening procedures.

    All going off memory so forgive any errors.

    Use a jack under the sump & the bikes sidestand to raise the front wheel if you only have the the 1 stand, & crack your front axle pinch bolts & axle bolt while the wheel is on the ground & not up on the stand if you value your forks.

    As well as the chain adjusters tensioning your chain they also align your rear wheel so look out for the markers on the swingarm

    You don't have to touch the chain tensioners, undo your axle and the stay blocks come out, you'll get enough movement to remove the chain. If you lack a paddock stand and resort to a jack, use a plank of wood under the kickstand so you can get more height, and use a screw jack, NOT HYDRAULIC.

    If you don't have a stand then two tie-down straps on handlebars to a roof beam will get the wheel off the ground.
