Changing out Sprockets and Chains

Just replaced my chain and sprockets at 13,000 miles. Sprockets had less that 10% wear on them and chain had a couple frozen links. Chain had stretch a full link in length when compared to my new chain of the same amount of links.

Things went smoothly except for the counter sprocket cover. Anyone else find that cover to remove and install a pain in the a**?

DirtyMike, you mentioned the sprockets had very little wear. I know the its recommended to change all sprockets when you replace the chain, but do you think it's necessary? 13,000 on the chain is far better than I expected, I'm guessing you took very good care of it.

Good information, thanks.
