Tycho

I am trying to change the chain and sprockets on my T300 Speed Triple.

Unfortunately you have to remove the sidestand, drain the oil and remove the gear lever to do this. I'm not too sure when this was last done but from what I can gather you need to remove the stand, then remove the bracket it is on to get to the gear lever pinch bolt. However, I have taken off the stand and unscrewed the star bolt holding the stand bracket on and it won't move. Is there any other bolts holding it on which the Haynes manual has missed (unlikely) or could the stand bracket have rusted onto the engine block?

Thanks in advance.

I've done this a couple of times and don't remember any other fasteners down there. Spray the area down with some penetrating lube and give it a couple of good whacks.
