How and the heck do I get the center nut off so I can remove the original spring and install the pink spring? I put 265 fat pounds on it and it wouldn't budge. Also what do I torque everything back to?

 

The center bolt is reverse threaded. You'll have to put some big force on it clockwise now that you've overtightened it.

The torque spec is 69 ft lbs for the center bolt and 113 INCH pounds for the face plate.

 

Already knew that it was reverse threaded, still cant budge it. Thanks for the torque specs though.

 

I used a 1/2 - 3/4 inch wood rod about 1 - 1.5 feet long. I ran it through the clutch and wedged it agains the frame. This stopped the clutch from spinning and made it possible to get the bolt out

 

the easyest way is to use an impact gun

 

tried an impact wrench(in reverse), and it would not budge. I hope it is not cross threaded, or seized.

 

i think kawasaki overtihgtens them from the factory, i used an electric snap on impact gun and it came off no problem. let me now if your going to buy a pipe for your bike, i can get you a DMC ALIEN dual set up and the correct spring spring for 470.00

 

That is a real good price on the DMC's, but I've been thinking about the yoshimura duals, can you get a good price on them also?

 

04vForce, that is a FANTASTIC price on Aliens with a spring. Can you PM me or send me an email (it's in my profile) so we can chat offline about the Aliens.

Thanks
