Not enough words allowed here to be detailed, but I'll try: #1 Buy the book, #2 READ the book! #3 Admit you might be over your head.

Remove the clutch cable. Remove transmission mounting nuts. Remove the primary chain adjusting screw. Lift transmission rotate to the rear 90 degrees. Remove transmission from the LEFT side.

hub is right except he forgot to mention removing the starter first thing. Also, no need to remove stator since it is underneath primary sprocket at the engine. (primary sprockets and chain come off as one unit. It will be obvious as you proceed. Careful to keep clutch intact.

The safest way to go about this is to follow the directions in a service manual. You can search for your bike's factory service manual on amazon. com
