It's not too difficult. You'll need some wrenches to loosen the tension on the chain, and a chain breaker/press to install the new chain. Since it's a critical component, you'll probably want to get someone who's done it to help you the first time. You don't want it to come flying off while you're riding!Is the maintainence for enfield thunder bird very high compared to hero honda bikes?
erm.....i agree with the others!It depends on a few things. Have you done mechanical work before, do you have the right tools? Also do you have something like a Haynes manual for the bike which will take you through the process step by step? If the answer is yes to all of the above then you can do it. But bear in mind it must be done properly. The 1200 bandit is not a slow bike so the chain needs to be fitted properly in order for it not to fly off. Critically the joining link needs to be fitted correctly. The other thing to bear in mind is often chains sold with a kit need to be cut to length either with a chain splitting tool or a grinder and punch.

That said fitting chain and sprockets for a competent home maintenance person is pretty straightforward..

yeah its pretty easy, try someone like demon tweeks or M&P they can supply the correct size chain and sprockets and a chain tool that will split your old chain and also press the new link in when fitting refitting. Just count the links on your old chain and break the new chain at the same amount of links as long as you replace the sprockets with the same size. Place on bike so that the join is on the back sprocket use the tool to repress the chain together use the adjusters on the rear of the swing arm to tension the chain (losen axle bolt first) about an inch and a eighth to a an inch and a half of slack at the chain guide on top of the swing arm just before the front sprocket is about right I hope this helps.compare the mileage given by shine discover dtsi and glamour and their performance not looks?

Do not be tempted to use a split link, you can and it is easier to do but a 1200 bandit will throw it off.
A good idea if you don,t know how to rivet could be to put a split link in and go straight down the dealers very gently to get them to put a rivet link in but be careful large dealers will tell you that the swinging arm etc needs to come out (big job), but a experienced mechanic can do it on the bike in about 10 Min's, your best bet is to enquire first.
Its a good earner for bike shops cause its easy with the right kit but heavy on labour charges.
