bajjer9 Posted July 16, 2005 Share Posted July 16, 2005 Is the front sprocket bolt right hand or left hand thread? I am trying to put a new one on but I have broken a ratchet and a socket trying to get it off, its that tight!! Can anyone help? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redbird Posted July 16, 2005 Share Posted July 16, 2005 Standard thread, and yes, it can be a bitch. Try using a breaker bar rather than a ratchet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

K9XX Posted July 17, 2005 Share Posted July 17, 2005 I have to use the breaker bar/push down with foot technique :wink: Spins the head right off Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arcticflipper Posted July 18, 2005 Share Posted July 18, 2005 Hope you're replacing it with the same size? The pickp is pointing at the front sprocket, thus if you make it smaller, clocks are out - have to get a speedohealer then to sort that problem out again. Pls not that this is only for electronic or digital clocks, and not cable or analog... Just some meaningless info... :roll: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plus put the rear wavy disk,chain and a new set of rear pads on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Amherst XX Posted July 19, 2005 Share Posted July 19, 2005 So a sprocket swap doesn't affect the '97 with the analogue clocks? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redbird Posted July 19, 2005 Share Posted July 19, 2005 Yes, it does. Speedo pickup is on the countershaft on all years, unless you see a speedo cable somewhere on yours Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DSRbikes Posted November 11, 2005 Share Posted November 11, 2005 Would using a smallish impact wrench be taboo just for removing it? I know better than to use one to tighten, so don't go there? I used one to get the rear sprocket nuts off. :suckmeoff: Seemed to work ok on the lowest setting. Well I actually had to go up one setting.

blackhawkxx Posted November 11, 2005 Share Posted November 11, 2005 Would using a smallish impact wrench be taboo just for removing it? It would work great though I didn't think it was a big deal getting it off. A lot easier than some lug nuts on car wheels. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cool, I read on some other posts that it is regular threads so I'm not as nervous about it. I just didn't want to go the wrong way and shear the bolt of or something horrible like that :shock: Did you keep it in gear to loosen and tighten (torque) it back down?

matey_peeps Posted November 15, 2005 Share Posted November 15, 2005 Keep it in gear, stomp on the brake, stick a 2x4 thru the rear wheel. whatever you need to do. 40 ft./lbs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course, Thanks for the suggestions. 40ft./lbcs. isn't to much anyway. <mumbling to self> Now why didn't I think of that! Been in the city to long I guess.
