Front sprocket, left or right?!

1982 z750 ltd twin.

Im trying to get the front sprocket of but unsure if its left or right thread..

Anyone know? Dont wanne break anything

R/H thread.
Anti clockwise to loosen.

Thanks! Been trying a while to get the damn thing off.

No luck with the nutrunner, thinking a long pipe to get stronger with the wrench.

Assuming the swing arm is still on the bike if you have an old piece of chain and 2 bolts you can easily make a counter-sprocket holder as shown below. Just wrap the big loop around the sprocket and the small loop around the swingarm pivot and the sprocket will not rotate when you try to loosen or tighten the sprocket nut. Some folks have a friend stand on the brake pedal, but that could cause brake related problems, and some folks stick a pole between the wheel’s spokes which is very hard on the spokes. Using an old length of chain as shown below doesn’t put stress on anything at all and prevents the sprocket from moving when loosening or torquing down the sprocket nut. Ed

Thanks for the tip, i locked it in a simular way with a Steel rod but sofar no luck.
The rod bent and the Bolt didnt give.

May have to grind it off, hope not!

NO

I took a hammer and chisel to shock mine once and it loosened it enough to get it by holding the brake on and using a breaker bar........ still have the spot on it where it marked it up..... which reminds me I once planned on replacing that because of that......

Im gonne keep this thread going because another problem occured, my local kawa dealer where i ordered new sprockets called today and said they cant deliver, that kawasaki dont make em no more.

I tried looking in my manual for a parts bo. but there my bike appear belt driven so no luck..

Do you guys know what i need and where to get it?
Not in the garage atm but i recall the rear sprocket got 40 teeth.

I don't understand. When you look at your bike is it belt driven or chain driven? Ed

Google Partzilla, it says you have a 13 tooth front sprocket, their part # for it is.....K22-2734

My bike is chain driven, and the sprockets are worn out.
I looked for parts number in a pdf for my bike i got from the dealer but the book says the bike has belt so no help there..
