Guys, I gotta vent... I just spent an hour trying to get the "special bolt"/drive sprocket bolt off so I could replace the front sprocket.
I read the maintenance manual and the removal instructions simply said "Remove the special bolt", easy enough huh? Bu!!sh(t That thing is on there solid. I guess the boys at the factory feel the need to overtighten the heck out of it.
I'm basically going at it with a 6" socket wrench, foot on the rear brake, sitting on the bike and pulling up on the wrench with not luck. Does anybody have any suggestions as to how to get this thing off?! (and unfortunately I don't have access to pnuematics).
I'm open to anything at this point. PReeeeesh.
