What way does the sprocket bolt need to turn is it opposite? and what tool do I need to do this I cant make it budge either way I go any help would be appreciated

 

You can use an impact gun not the best way but it works, also dont forget about the tabs on the nut lock.....you can get a tool looks like a pair of vise grips with nubs on them to hold the sprocket thats your best bet there like 40 bucks but there way cheaper then splitting the case's......alot of people like to hold the brakes with the chain still on and in gear but thats not to bright....the force is gonna other place than that sprocket nut like your counter shaft and tranny .......blue lock tite also dont use red

Check it out this one company that makes them...oh should be lefty loosey righty tighty....been a while since i changed one

 

hahaha the f4i gods are ******* with you for getting a kawi.

 

I already hate this thing

 

I got it to stay so I just needed to know what way it had to spinto come off so reg lefty loosey now why wont it come off do I use a socket cause thats what im using now is there anything else that needs to be done before trying to get it off?

and what are "the tabs on the nutlock" If I cant get it off I will use the stock one I dont give a **** lol I just heard it was better to swap both sprockets when changing them out and Im keeping stock gearing in the front anyway lol

 

Put bike in neutral
Put piece of wood in the rear wheel
rent / buy a 27mm deep socket with impact gun
turn that **** to 11 and zip it off

 

if it was a stunt bike the nut might be tight as **** from clutching it up it just take alot of force. i had to use an impact gun and hit it for almost 10 min to get it off. might not be the best way but it worked

 

Also use a good 3/4 inch breaker with a cheater bar ..... my 09 ZX6 as a bitch, impact wasn't enough

 

i throw it in gear, and take it off....but i have a 3/4 inch ratchet set. lol it will break anything loose

 

Im not scared to pull out the nascar tools I just always like to try without them first I dont know how I had a random socket that fit that bolt but I do so now I just have to get it off I feel like there's a secret someones not telling me

 

ya....turn it left

 

dont you dare start with that lol I gave up on that for a while its round bar installation time

 

 

Ive got 3 redbulls and a monster in me setting up this piece of **** kawi

 

bring it to the mega lot when your done

 

The best and correct way is loosen it to the left with an impact gun.I used a weak *** "harbor freight" electric impact... it Should loosen up easy,I never had a problem,And never used a block o wood or jammed anything in the sprocket,just put er in 1st gear and pull the trigger,then reinstall with the impact.

 

I always have an assistant sit on it holding rear brake an or shovel handle or other wood item in the wheel locking it up with trans in neutral (plus I wrap a towel around item in wheel as to not scratch or dent it. but they always come off fairly ez. Can try squirting it with liquid wrench/penetrating oil an let it sit 10-30 mins. I would NOT recomend using a torch to heat it.

 

i have had a few that were so tight i had to use a 3/4 impact gun to get them off..

i like to put the bike in gear and hold the brake then hit it with the impact gun ..


it is not reverse thread so like a few already said lefty loosey ..

the lock washer people were talking about is a splined washer that is behind the nut you are trying to get off but the splined washer has tabs that fold over the nut to keep it from backing off on it's own so you need to bend the tabs of the splined washer back to get the nut off ..

 

Well I had enough with working on bikes for the night I got my round bar on that I got from sandbox and that thing is legit no cutting anything mounts up nice and easy got my rear sprocket on and my dual caliper 4 piston mounter....tomarrow I'm bringing out the nascar tools and impacting that front sprocket bolt off seems like everyone is saying thats the easiest way I might do the cleen air mod as well anyway Im rambling because Im conviced my blood energy drink level is far over the legal limit thanks for all the help everyone and I cant wait to see what a 636 feels like another month
