I agree with KC. Installing the shift kit isn't rocket science, but you do have to be careful with chain tension, sprocket alignment etc., and for me anyway, it took a bit of tweaking after first assembly, and obviously, there's more to go wrong than with direct drive.
They are fun though, and it's easier to keep the bike on the pipe at varying speeds, and to keep from thrashing that poor little engine at high RPM at road speed.
I do miss engine braking though, because of the extra freewheel on the pedal crank.
