Any ideas on loosening the front sprocket nut on an SV650? I'm pretty sure I've straightened the washer, I've had a breaker bar with an extender on the nut, with my 15 stone balancing on it. All that happens is the 3x2 jamming the back wheel gets chewed into
Get the Mrs to apply the back brake. Also, use a block under the extension bar to the floor. PM sent.
Yea its a bastard Ive had to have an impact gun on it the last two times I've done them. And as above yes it is a reverse thread so clockwise to loosen
Note he fitted a rivet link chain, however WtF was a split link doing on a bike like that in the first place?
its a std thread woody, anti clockwise to loosen as you look at the nut. The easiest way to tell a thread direction on a rotating part is to see which way the shaft spins. usually (99% of the time) you undo a nut by going the same way as the rotation. this way any load on the part (the sprocket in this case) will only tighten the fastener (nut).
You can undo it clockwise, with enough force, however you wont be able to get a nut back on. Lol. Check the vid
Flicked through my manual...... You are correct! Sure there is something on the bike that is opposite tho.... hmmmmm thats gonna bug me
I think it's one of the main engine mounts. Defo not internal I'm thinking of. I think it's one that I had to use a special tool for.
Shut it Carl! Haha not my finest hour! 2 hour of work to drop the bike off the stands and have oil piss out of the forks :/
