Here's where I'm at. This is with the chain slack adjusted to within spec. Everything is stock, bike only has 225 miles on it. I assume the chain will stretch a bit as the miles go up.
Again, yes. I went to the 16 tooth before I had 1000 miles on the bike, so there was little to no stretch in the chain. Was certainly not an issue. Getting the nut loose on the front sprocket is another story. Best to have access to a powerful air impact wrench to get it loose. You'll find many reports on the forum on folks efforts to get the nut loose for the first time.
Changed the counter-shaft sprocket yesterday on my '15 - I used a 'longer' socket to go from a tooth at 4 o'clock to the swingarm, held w/ a finger, than used my air-impact to 'spin' the nut OFF.
I made sure that my tank was at FULL pressure before starting (about 115+ psi).
