Thank you so, so much

8 years after upload but this video helped a bunch 👌

Impact wrench.

Brilliant, thank you!

Still doesn't want to fucking come loose. Im losing my goddamn shit and straining my goddamn back. Fuck these sprockets.

Had to jimmyrig a piece of wood through the swingarm to brace against the screwdriver, nonetheless your video helped get the process started and sure enough got that nut off with a simple breaker bar. Thanks!

Good tip 👌 just did it on a cbf600 . Thanks

Mine is stuck and won’t budge any tips?

Long allen key through the bottom of chain so straight of Allen comes through the top of chain for the win and mom to give a couple bangs on the hammer

the easiest and safer way is using an impact tool

4 yrs later after you uploaded your video, I'm trying to loose the front sprocket nut, with no joy, I'll have to try this method

Great video. Thanks

I tried this method today, and it worked great!

IT worked!

Brilliant Mate!! I was messing with mine and I bolloxed it by removing the rear wheel first and cutting my chain, so I'll just slap an ol' screwy through the chain and wrap around axle housin' and be peachy.

Broke my screwdriver, but clamping the chain down worked (instead of cable ties). Thanks, was struggling with the brake method

Even tho I had to use a pretty good impact driver gun, your trick worked very well. I did however switch the zip tie with a steel wire but very thankfull I came across your video!

hi do you take it of in gear or neutral tia

what a legend! complete noob here, removing my swing arm on my R1 and done it all backwards... rear wheel off, shock linkage off, pivot shaft out and swing arm flapping in the wind then realised the chain/sprocket needed to come off 🤦‍🥵🥵 This worked perfect for me. Cheers 🍻

Thanks very much for the video, I spent several hours sweating and swearing before I tried this method, 5 minuites later the sprocket was loose, thanks again.

Wo ist die rsv4?

Didn't work for me either. Borrowing an impact driver from a friend.

This didn't work at all for me man, ugghhh

Why not just have a friend sit on the bike while applying the brake? No, let's take the whole bike apart.

Ridden both, owned a colin edwards gen l and std mille and now have a gen rsvr . Gen 1 every time for me. More reliable, more character and low down stomp and prefer the looks. Doesn't lose out hardly at all in performance either being the r model.

Some heroes don't wear capes... Thank you for this video mate - spot on!

Pece of wood through the wheel onto the swing arm. No reason to remove the wheel.

I really wanted to hit my bike, bloody sprocket nuts, I hate them with a passion. I dont know if it's me at fault. But I have struggled with all 3 of my zx9r f/sprocket. Am about to tackle my zzr1400 f/sprocket. Its exactly the same set up as the 9s. Here's my issue. I have never struggled with any other make of bike . 2xGS1000, 1200 Bandit, super dream,,, Gsx750ef, FZ600,,,, even my old Lambretta Li150. Is it ME or are Kawasaki Nuts just bloody hard ???? Nice vid mate, well presented and informative. I too have watched Dels vid,, along with many others. I think I'm looking for a Harry Potter solution lol. Wish me luck . 😀👍🤔

What size socket for front and back ?

couldn't you just get a friend to apply the back brake?

ugh... I bent a screw driver and a 5mm allen wrench with this method.

This dont work on my old bandit or my 99 zx9r 24inch breaker and snap on 1/2 inch nut gun and nothing had to cut the nut off

I'm hanging off a breaker bar like a gorilla . No amount of tapping with a hammer is going to help me. Just ordered some dynamite.

Dude it didn’t work the screwdriver flew out of the chain

Any tips for doing that on an f4 with a single sided swinging arm?

I can only imagine how many bent spindle axles are out there now...

A nice tip, but old CBR1000F needs impact driver, and big one. Othewise you just bend your tools. With big impact driver it comes off every time, you just need to ride it to some garage every time, it's a pain.

Man, I just installed a primary Drive countershaft inside out then proceeded to torque it down... talk about a grown man cry as I tried to loosen that bolt. Your video saved the day even if it took a screwdriver with it. I used hex keys and they held up nicely. I couldn’t quite figure out the configuration for the instal so i put the back wheel back on, stepped on the brake, torqued easily to 54 ftpounds. 2002 Yamaha WR250F. Thanks brother!

Mine on suzuki bandit is tight, impossible to loose. I even broke screwdriver placed through chain is you showing on your video

O my god. My bike is giving me the finger 🖕🏻and I’m shore I heard it giggling 😡😡😡😡 it’s not coming off no matter how much I try 🤷🏻‍♂️bloody German bmw s1000rr 💥💥💥💥💥💥💥🔫

nice

quality video mate thanks

That was extremely too easy. I was even bending my breaker bar.

You’re a genius mate. Came off in five tabs.

I'm about the change my sprockets my self and dont have access to an airgun and sitting on the bike while pressing the rear brake while trying the loosen the nut smelled like a really bad idea so I had a brain fart about just putting a broomhandle through the rear rim and the swing arm. I think I'll just do what you just did. Thanks for the tip.

can you put it in 1st gear instead to lock up the motor ? now I got to find a video how to tighten the nut.

Good video, is there much difference between the Mille and your rsv1000r ?....which one do you prefer to ride ?

Thank you sir

Why can’t it be done without removing the rear tire? Then move to remove everything

What is the size of the nut ?
