An important point on Gabe's chain installation - when installing a chain on a full suspension bike, you need to make sure you size it when the chainline is at its longest, usually when the shock is completely compressed. The shock may need to be disconnected at one end to facilitate this step. Turning the bike 90 degrees in the workstand, so the rear tire is straight up, helps to keep the swingarm in its fully compressed position.
