Returning Visitors
If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.
If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

I tried, which thread is it? Damn thing won't budge. Also I was hoping to get a reply from you but am I safe in removing the oil hoses from the cooler with oil in the engine before pulling it?

Alright thanks.
The allen bolt in the center has a normal thread -- righty-tighty lefty-loosey. Put the bike in gear and step on the rear brake to keep the engine from spinning.
It is wearing Loctite, so heating the bolt should help break it loose.
I normally just use an air impact, but you do need a 6mm impact rated bit, which can be a little difficult to find.

Well it was on there pretty tight. Took a breaker bar plus my weight on it to move it.
