Very simple operation, tool needed 8, 10, 14 or 17, 22, 27 mm wrench or/and socket, ratchet, torque wrench..don't remember exact bolts/nuts sizes..
If you don't have an impact gun, you will have to lock up the front sprocket prior removing its bolt and then torqued it to the spec, 40 ft-lbs??
If you have the shop manual, read it prior wrenching.. p 9-3/9-4, 6-12/6-14

1. remove gear shifter arm from the gear shifter spindle
2. remove all the bolts and the L side cover, allen key M5 or M6?
3. remove gear shifter position switch
4. remove 3 long M6 bolts and swing aside the clutch slave cylinder with the hose attached, do not pump clutch lever or/and separate any hydraulics - keep it as a one unit , won't leak
5. remove clutch push rod and clean it
6. remove the bolts and the cover to gain access to the front sprocket/bolt
7. may have to remove the chain guide plate??
8. give the chain enough slack prior removing the front sprocket
9. remove the the bolt and the front sprocket
10. clean the greasy mess. I use brake cleaner

11. re-assemble in the reverse order
12. pump the clutch lever a couple of times and shift through gears prior riding.

Yes, you can do it!

P.S. keep your service book on the flat table and don't turn it upside down to be successful...otherwise lots of info will be missing
