If in gear, trying to remove big nut .. turns piston over ...
If on side stand ... turns rear wheel and piston ... ...
I used to do this years ago with my MX bikes without thinking ... now Ive forgotten how to get the farker off! ... must be old timers disease ...
Thanks in advance ....
2004 ZRX1200R And on the seventh day Richo ended his work which he had made. Decided resting was for soft cox, straddled the REX and headed up the old road. And it was good

Get a mate to help, bike in gear and both brakes locked. Problem you have is long reach bar is giving too much torque which is transfered through to the engine. You'll probably do better with a shorted bar and a rubber mallet (similar to how an air ratchet works). Try both but with weight on the bike and bakes applied to stop the bike moving, perhaps even wedge the front up against a wall?
I got a Supercheap compressor and basic tool kit when they were on special - not flash hot, but managed to get the wheel nuts off the Kombi, front sprocket off the 10, rear sprockets off the 6 and even painted fairings. All up, compressor, tools and hose it cost me $150.
take it from me...GeePeeX7fiddy front sprocket nuts are tuffpharkers to get off
so
either Mike's suggestion...with rattle gun and compressor
or the long breaker bar (holding the bike still is an issue here)
or use an impact driver (with hardened socket please) with BIG smoter
to just get its started (then normal socket and ratchet)
Or just take it over to Dave's, drink his beer and watch !
I've spent over 40 years of my life riding bikes .... the rest of it, I wasted ..
If it's got wheels or tits, it's gonna give you trouble !

Standing on the brake and a little heat on the nut may help . Those micro torches have a really fine flame and only cost about $30 from Jaycar , Dick Smith etc .
Log splitting axe with a big ass rubber handle through the rear wheel Thanks Dave.
Almost fell over when the nut cracked!
