Yea, he has a knack for doing that. This evening, my neighbor was over chatting while I prepped the W650 for my trip to Sturgis. I mentioned the whole bogus thing about racing and BMW's and he summed it up quite nicely. He said it all depends on whether your world revolves around your motorcycle or if your world revolves around motorcycling. My world revolves around motorcycling. That's why I'm happy as can be no matter if I'm on a cruiser, dual sport, sport bike or whatever. As long as I'm on two wheels. For some, the world revolves around their motorcycle. Racing heritage is important as is being associated with a certain marque. That's fine too. Again, it all depends on your point of view. Gino

I can't say with all certainty, but I think if you preload the chain by hammering the back brake and pushing forward on the bars (and compress the cush drive (rubber doohickey) in the rear hub), and MAKE SURE to bend flat the washer that locks the countershaft nut on, an impact wrench should remove it no problem.
