Rob...no adjustment of the chain is required if that's what your asking (lengthening). Someone in here has step by step instructions with pics documented on how to do it. I don't remember who it was, but I'm sure someone will enlighten us. You will need a torque wrench and 36 mm socket (Autozone about $13) and a jack or center stand. The torque specs are on your left under downloads. Takes about 30 minutes max...no kidding.

PS Found some info from Sept last year under "18 & 19 tooth sprocket" thread from Thumper723 with some mathematical input on how and why. It's in the advance search area under "sprocket". Thumper723 estimates a 5.5% RPM drop with a 18-t and 10% RPM drop with a 19-t assuming 4000 RPM equals to 70 mph.
