It can be done without special tools but you really need to know how it's done, or it could cost a lot of money if the chain comes off.
The best way is to hacksaw off the old chain then fit the new sprockets and chain yourself and use the split link that comes with it. Then take the bike to a dealer and ask them to put the rivet link on the chain for you. They'll have a better tool to rivet it properly.

Buy a new chain that comes with a "master link". Most of them do. Take your old chain off however you want. A grinder will do. It doesn't matter as you will be throwing it away. When you put the new chain on, use a piece of wire to hold the ends together so you can put the master link in.
Or you could spend the extra for a chain breaker and chain puller(helping hand).
Your choice.

Depends on what type of master link you have. If it is the clip type link then all you have to do is remove the clip from the master link. If it is riveted, then you will need a chian breaker as well as a press. Usually you can find a multi-tool that does both.
Here is a link for a place that sells the chain tools you may need.

You should find a 'split-link' somewhere along the length of the chain. If you slowly rotate the rear wheel, you should eventually see a U-shaped spring-clip locking one pair of the links together. Slide the link out, and the chain should come apart quite easily. Reverse the procedure to re-fit the chain.
You would only need a chain breaker if the chain has a 'soft-link', which does need special tool to remove it. This type of link is usually only fitted on large capacity machines, though.

No, Your rear wheel will be loose so just pop off the clip and the link comes off. Unless it is a chain without a master link then you will need a chain breaking tool. 99% of all production motorcycles have a masterlink. You just need to find that and pop it off, I use a screwdriver(small)

Be sure to put the clip back on the master link facing the same way it was when you took it off.
I doubt there's a one-piece chain on your bike. This should be an easy job.

If it is a split link on the chain check to make sure the retaining clip is on the right way, closed end facing direction of travel, think fish swimming upstream!

nicely it fairly is not the main appropriate way yet once you're able to you ought to use a flat head screwdriver and a hammer in basic terms positioned the screwdriver on the sting of link next to the pin and hit it . or bypass out and purchase a sequence removing device they don't coast lots and it fairly is uncomplicated er then a hammer and screwdriver.

all u have to do is get a screw driver on the master link and prize it off, try using a bit of WD40 if its rusty, and then the clip will come off easy!
