I'm curious if this is something I can survive taking on by my self. I'm pretty good at wrenching, love to do it, and have been doing it for quite a few years on cars, but I've never cracked open the bike. I've done the breaks/lines, gears, clutch cable, and have taken both wheels off a couple times, but I've never gone inside the engine and am worried about getting in over my head.

I know bikes often require specialized tools that I'm not going to have. Is replacing the rings one of those jobs I'm going to regret? I'd sure like to save a few bucks and learn a little more about the bike.

What do ya'll think?

BTW, the patient is a '93 CBR 900rr that's started smokin' pretty bad at high revs.
