Crim, if all else fails.. But a clutch basket tool. It will cost you the SAME price as the dealer to take it off and it is ALWAYS nice to have one around. I have one and have never used it. My impact has always done the trick and is faster and lose less skin (from my hands).

For reference.. But that is an expensive one. I believe I paid around $18 at my dealership for a rip off of the same.

I was just sitting here looking at the blame thing and then it hit me.  I've been in talks with a guy about creating a partnership and buying a Yamaha store.  I bet he'd knock it off for me, gratis.  He needs me to co-sign!

Update:  Got one of those vise grip type of hub holders and tried the impact gun and the breaker bar to no avail.  It's not the greatest of tools but it sure should have done the job.

The only option left is to take it back to the Kaw shop who put the crank in.  They tightened it up.  Let them take it off.  No?

Man I would find a shop manual and make sure of the direction of the nut maybe House of K told me the wrong direction.  Mine on the KX500 came off and retorqued very easy.

Gulled, .application is known as: a condition where the threads & or mating threads gall, seize, or form a burr due to misalignment, fatigue, or ...

Absolutely. Heat it up and it will pop off.. They must have installed it with a hub holder + an impact (bad idea). Maybe you ought to stop by a Walmart or Sams and pick up an Air set (impact, wrench, hammer, ect.) for cheap.. I got my friend one for christmas and I don't remember it costing more than $50-$60 for the set..

PS: Also, might try a torque bar, if you have the hub held well, maybe have somebody crank on it..?

As I said, I have an impact gun and a breaker bar and a hub holder.  None of them worked.  So I just got off the phone with All Pro (local Kaw shop) and they said they'd be more than glad to buzz it off for me.

This should be interesting.

Take an old clutch plate and friction plate. line them up in the hub and basket, then clamp them together (needle nose vice grips work great). take em out, drill and bolt them together. you have created a clutch lockup tool.

When someone would come up with a good idea, my boss I worked for in the oil field would say "Innovating ideas like that make men Presidents".  Sounds like a good cheap clutch tool.

That's how I got my 500's clutch apart.  Problem is, I don't need new disks on the 85.  I'm pretty close to the dealer.  Let them get it off.

Nothing like toting dirtbikes around in 0 degree wind chill.  And on top of that, All Pro couldn't get if off,  They didn't even have a hub holder.  They said that they all come off with a quick buzz off an impact gun.  Well not this one!

So my options are heat the living hell out of it or cut it off.  I'll try the heat first.  But I have tried it before so I'm not real optimistic.

!@#$%^%&#^&!@$!@#%#!$^@!#$!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Maybe I'll just wait and see if this Yamaha shop deal materializes and get a blue one.
