Congratulations, you just installed a sprocket!

But you're not done yet! The smaller sprocket put too much slack in the chain and you need to tighten it up.

Take the bike off the paddock stand (or centerstand). It should be resting on the side stand when testing chain tension.

With an 18mm socket wrench, loosen the axle bolt. You may need to brace the axle nut on the other side with a 19mm wrench. The axle MUST be loose enough to slide backwards on the swingarm or you will strip the threads of the tension adjustment bolts.
