stuck in neutral.. was created by murr50
so i was out for a ride today and all of a sudden my bike went out of gear, like the clutch was in. I pulled over and shifted into first, but no movement. The bike just doesnt seem to want to go into gear. Anyways i called a friend to pick my bike up in his truck, and when i got home and moved it into the garage i noticed a clicking noise sort of like a mountain bike makes when you arent pedalling. any thoughts?
ps the bike is a 77kz650

Sounds like you spun the nut off the front sprocket. If so, make sure you bend the lock tab down after you tighten it.

According to Kawasaki. For a KZ650-B1 (1977), it's a 20MM nut. Part number 92016-028.

I believe its 60 ft-lbs, but someone else might have the actual spec.
Just be sure to use some blue thread locker, and it will not likely come off again until you ask it to.
