Thks My 14mm hex allen bolt has never been out. Turning anti clockwise as you look at the dash it turned a few mm then won't budge. I'm using a long bar extenstion and the torque is tipping the bike over with my sons holding the bike. Looking at the maintenance manual page 5.2.1 the pic shows the allen bolt being turned and bolt out at the bottom page pic. I'm guessing the bottom pic is showing the internal 30mm thread of the steering head tube. My guess is mine 14mm hex bolt is cross threaded at the factory? Because the allen bolt cap covers the whole steering tub head you can't get freeing lube into the tube internal thread. Any ideas how to get a siezed allen bolt off?
Sorry how do you separate the dials/clocks from the black mounting bracket. I want to repaint the rusty black bracket and the dials chrome rear?
I remove the self tapping screw and washer that goes front to back under the dials where the cables enter the dials. All is loose now. Do you undo the screws holding the dials rear plastic chrome cover to disconnect the dash cables? When you disconnect the dash dial from the cable and battery do you lose settings like security/imoboliser?? Getting the dials cables is nice to paint under them.
Use the atf and accetone mixture works 100 times better then wd40.Thks for your continued advice john. Yes my bike is old and everything siezed. Looks like the years of water running down the perimeter of the 14mm allen bolt has sieze it in good. Shame I stripped the front of the bike first. Yes squirting wd40 in there will try again over the next few days. Might have to reassemble and get help.
