yea do it right if u have the time and tools. i got lucky with the penny and plates. but i was out where i didnt have tools so i had no othr choice... the tool looks like a vice grip with two bent metal bars on it... you clamp it down to the innre hub and put the nut on... no slip no broken parts lol

I dint buy the tool. All I did was bunch the chain on like it was going to break the cases, But I put my rubber squegie thing i use to tint windows between the case and the chain to take the pressure off the case. Put it into 6th gear and torqued it very slowly 10lbs at a time worked fine for me.

I have tried everything on this subject including ruining a clutch basket gear by jamming shit inbetween the gears. Dont do that. Either go to yamaha and get the tool or make your own out of old clutch plates. I made mine with three fibers and three steel drilled through and bolted together. Works great. Ill send you mine for $20 shipped or ill send you some old plates to make your own for $7 shipped.

 

Also, get yourself a torque wrench. Its the only way to get it right. I have tried the air ratchet to get it. It only gets it to about 40 ft lbs before the whole thing spins.

I use the penny also but make sure its an old one. The new ones are not full copper. I cant remember how old they have to be.
