I got ahead of myself while changing my chain andfront and rear
sprockets. After I removed the rear wheel and chain (original and
continuous so the swing arm is out too)I went to remove the front
sprocket. The Clymers instructs one to remove said sprocket with the
wheel/chain installed. Does it make a difference? am I going too
damage the engine/transmission in any way if i remove it with only
compression and gearing as my resistance?

You might be able to get it loose with an impact wrench... Problem
with using gearing as resisitance is you end up just turning the
engine over manually. No harm to the engine but there wasn't enough
resistance on my bike when I tried it a few days ago.
Not saying you should, but you might be able to do it by wadding up
the chain in the front sprocket area. Then again, you might damage
the engine case.

Roger,
It's gonna be difficult removing the nut without the chain on and the
rear brake adding resistance. I've heard of folks using an impact gun to
remove a countershaft nut but haven't done it that way myself.
Try it in 5th gear as that's the best you'll be able to do for
resistance.
Good luck,

Most Likely.
I had my wife pretty much standing on the rear brake lever using the
rear wheel and chain to hold the c/s shaft from turning and if I
remember had a large piece of pipe on the ratchet handle to break it free.
Even if you attempt compression and in gear I betcha the engine will
just turn over before the nut is loose, if the factory put it on.
Automagic decompression and all.
My guess is do all the rest, put chain back on the bike and break it
free using the chain/brake to hold it.
Good Luck

An air gun works the best..........

I put on a set of the Duro tires and they seem just fine to me. No sign of chunking. I've got maybe 2500 miles on the rear and 1500 on the front. No problems whatsoever. And the tire are very reasoable.

OK I remounted the wheel. got everything off and there are a couple of
rubber 'washers' on either side of the front sprocket. most of the
nubs that mount it on the sprocket are worn off. Do I reused this
thing? or do i move on without it?
TIA
