I was reading another fourm where one of the guys broke his input shaft while trying to change a sproket I think and he said kawi just shafted him saying that he was drag racing and would not help I would like to know I any one else has had problems with changing sprokets...xxx's

I think this is one more heat application before the torque gun hammers it off. Drag racing is BS. That output shaft has to be stout as in how many shafts have ever been torn off due to drag racing?

How many shafts have been torn up removing the nut? Social science answers is let me at that Q&A logic on the phone is stump the phone messenger on the other end.

Pretty easy once the front one comes off the first time. Kawa had that tightened beyond several hundred lbs tq and it was a real stink to initially get off. No problem since reinstall and 'manuf' tq specs.

You guys are starting to scare me a little.....I've never come across a bike with a countershaft sprocket that was as hard to remove as I'm hearing about the 14. When it comes sprocket changing time I'm gonna be sweating just abit now
