Hey guys stupid question,I'm trying to get the front wheel off my 06, I have loosened off the 4 hex key bolts at the front,and got a tool made up to undo axle, when I try and undo the whole axel moves on both sides, I have tried to tighten up one side but then the axel won't move at all
Here's a vid that explains it.
Hello Ballsybusa, i too have had the same issue although on a TLR. i got desperate and used a rattle gun still wouldnt budge. i ended up soaking it with WD40 over night tying the bike down in my trailer using long extension bar this finally cracked it. reviewing the problem i can only put it down to when i had tightened the axel with my Torque wrench ( as per manufactures spec ) maybe i had over tightened it ??? I was thinking i may have to remove forks & wheel as 1. Maybe other owners could advise what torque setting they are using front & rear ???
Good luck let us know how you go.
Hey thanx, just soaked it with crc, see how we go tomorrow
Should get Rod to but it up in tech part so new guys won't have to search so much later.Very good info.cheers Paul.
That's a great vid. Same as my Gsx1400. There's a good shot there of the 'sleeve' on the clutch side that the axle threads into. When you put it back in put a dab of anti seize on the axle thread. My 14 was a nightmare first time I took it of (40,000 odd kms), but now it is good every time.
Edited for bloody outo correct...as always.

Hey beau, does that mean your front tyre lasted 40,000klms
I bought my gsx1400 as a repairable wright off with aprox those kms. Was sooo hard the first time I took it off though....
Thanx guys front wheel is off, soaked in crc over night,got a big f@rking bar onto it and it come free, wasn't easy though
,now time to polish
Great news now what about the physio to fix your shoulder ?
