QUESTION: no it is all out of adustment the compensating sprocked looks worn quitabit but the cluch sprocket looks great. i was hoping this was somthing i could do at home thanks
Answer At 25,000 miles you should be fine. they should last 80,000 to 100,000 miles, no problem.
If you want to change it however, you need to remove the primary cover, the clutch basket and the primary nut. You will need a impact wrench to get the nut off and a clutch compression tool to get the clutch basket off. Once the nuts are off both the sprocket and clutch will slide off.
Good luck and happy riding
Mike
