How To Replace the Chain and Sprockets on a Yamaha TW200

After riding my Yamaha TW200 over 13,000 miles, my stock front sprocket is finally worn out to the point where it's skipping teeth under heavy load. The rear sprocket was replaced with a 47 tooth shortly after buying the bike new. The chain was also replaced at about 7000 miles since the stock chain stretched out quickly. Now it's time to replace both sprockets and chain because mixing new and old parts together will cause them to wear out quicker. So it's best to replace everything all at once unless the bike is brand new. I will be using an X-ring chain and slightly tweaking my gear ratio this time around. I hope you get a lot of value out of this video and thanks for watching.
