I have the shock and swing arm off my 2008 but the front bell crank bolt will not budge. I loosened the motor mount near it since one of the lists had a thing that said that might help, nothing. I have wailed on it with a 3/4 Aluminum drift and a very large hammer and have held the 1/2 electric impact driver running on it for 5 minutes at a time over and over. Nothing. The bell crank pivots freely but the bolt will not turn or come out.
Has anybody had one like this before? Am I doing something wrong? Any ideas?
It has not lived a gental life to be certain but it only has 13k on it.

Re: [DSN_KLR650] I need help I had this problem on one of my bikes. I ended up driving the bolt out with an air hammer by firmly pressing the pointed chisel tip, centered on the end of the bolt and z-z-z-z-z-z-a-a-a-a-ppppp.

It has not lived a gental life to be certain but it only has 13k on it. <><><><><><> <><><><><><> Chris, I'll suggest this is normal for that bolt. Usually it is corroded and seizes the bolt to the sleeve. It also usually turns but will not easily slide out. In a few cases I've heard of guys having to cut the bolt in two places, on each side of the uni-link. In most cases it will eventually move/slide when beat on with a sledge hammer. I've heard of guys taking a week to get it removed. The rear motor mount bolt must be loosen to slide the uni-link out and for sure to reinstall it. I don't know that it has much bearing on removal of the bolt. Sounds like your bolt and sleeve and bearing didn't get any lubrication. Only way I know to remove it is to use lots of force. Best and good luck,

I like the jack hammer idea.
Or explosives. I also like explosives.

Last resort Drill 90% of it out, (example 3/8-7/16 for a 1/2inch bolt, about 80 percent of the way threw, so you can insert a drift pin inside and tap it out. (drilling it out HOLLOW helps relieve pressure & strength.)
