You would think these things would just fall off if they weren't tightened so fuckin' hard. Never could get my impact gun or anyone elses I borrowed to loosen that stupid nut. Used a 3 ft. braker bar & Sears 27mm impact socket with a friend holding the brake & sitting on the bike to keep it anchored, just about threw out my shoulder when it finally came loose. Put the new one on with green loctite at 300 ft/lbs of torgue so the next sucker to change sprockets could have some fun too!

Ummm,,,,,,, yeah.
I already tried that with a gun (brand new,,,bought it when my old gun was unsuccessful ) that was rated at 550 ft/lbs.
I'm going to go with the route of a towel wrapped 2x4 in the rear wheel and my 5 ft pipe on a breaker bar. I'm not sure when I'm going to try this but that's how I'll try next.
To be honest, I'd like to take the bike to the track again with just the suspension lowered to see what it does. I like to document the changes 1 at a time as I go along. So I'll know what gains each mod' has netted me in the end. I really wanted to try the gearing first and then the suspension but I'm cool with reversing the order.

I've never had an issue on any of my bikes with getting countershaft sprockects off. I changed my busa sprocket out with a cheap harbor freight electric impact no prob. You guys got me kinda leery of what the 14's going to be like now lol.

I have a feeling what the problem was while using the impact gun. The nut/sprocket weren't "locked" in a still position when I tried. What I'm trying to say is that I did this with the bike in neutral, and the rear wheel off the ground and also with the wheel forward and chain loosened.
If the nut/sprocket were locked or held firmly somehow, I think the outcome would have been different. The problem was that even while standing on the rear brake, it wasn't enough holding force to allow the impact gun to do it's thing.
I'm going to do the 2x4 thing with the bike on the ground and the chain set to the correct tension/slack and try again by hand with the breaker bar. Again, I'll have someone on the brakes. Maybe next weekend if I can find the time.
I will post how it goes even if it doesn't go.
