reverse thread bolt on 750 twin

This is for a 1976 750 B1 TWIN

Is the bolt that holds the rotor on the end of the crankshaft a reverse thread?

I am in need of one.

I think it is! It is on my '78 at least.

EDIT: Hmm. Looks like it's available on BikeBandit.com... but the 76/77 has a different part number from the 78/79...

(orig part # 92001-1012) 17: BOLT KZ750-B3/B4 619510-001 $13.10

(orig part # 92002-1303) 17: BOLT,10X40 KZ750-B1/B2 620260-001 $6.53

Go figure!

I got off my lazy butt and looked up disassembly in the manual (the bike is 30 miles away right nowa). Right there in black and white it says: This bolt is a reverse thread and is to be installed by turning it counter clockwise.

I guess next time I should RTFM!

I'll never admit that I did this to tighten (reverse to loosen) mine...

If you don't have access to enough compressed air to run an air impact wrench, then an electric one does a decent job, and makes things an awful lot easier.

So far, I have not needed to borrow the 1" impact from the shop
