Ok so I decided to go ahead and do the (-1) 15 sprocket change. I did have my concerns as to whether I would be mechanically fit to do it but after reading all about it here at SBN I decided to take the plunge and go ahead.

I got my sprocket from the local yammi shop and it was a steel sprocket from JT sprockets… Cost me just under 40 dollars here in Norway.

Ok this is how I did it…
Hmm I didn't note down the tools needed but I'll try to remember...
The three cover bolts was torx,
Rear axle bolt 32mm (in your bike's toolkit, I used my own tools...)
Sprocket nut was either 32mm or 30mm think it was 32mm but can't remember.
To adjust locknut/adjuster nut just use the tools in your bike toolkit.

First here is a photo of the workplace ready…

Ok remove the three bolts marked in red. On my bike I had to loosen the bellypan to get access to the last bolt. You are able to remove the cover after fiddling with it. Can be kind of tricky but just wriggle it out and take your time...

This is what you see underneath. Notice the layer of road debree and dirt under and to the left of the chain!!!

Here is a closer look at the sprocket and the washer bent to keep the bolt from turning...

Here I have bent the washer back so I can get the bolt off to change the sprocket...
