It can be done but it's much easier to drop the engine out and do it

yep i did it and when you've got it stripped of carbs, bodywork and surge tank I recon you could easily do it from there in 2 hours.
Cargo is right it could be easier with the engine out of the bike but for the hassle.. i wouldnt bother, they don't at the kawasaki dealers near me, so i sure as hell aint lol.
If you want any advice pm me.
cheers

Don't forget that getting the old chain out and the new chail in you needs to remove a little metal from the crankcases where the chain passes.

Anyone got a picture of this?
If not I put one up tomorrow
