I'm sitting in my garage right now scratching my head. How the heck do I get the front wheel off?

When I want to get my wife to take something off I talk dirty to her. Try that. JK. Isn't there a bolt in the fork?

 

[cdirth]

Well it looks like it's a giant allen wrench

 

[chris]

loosen the 2 allen screws under the big allen head then use a big allen head not sure of the size and unscrew it. On my gsxr-1000 I made a tool to loosen the allen head on it I found a metric nut that fit perfectly then screwed it onto a bolt and welded it in place. I could of bought the tool from suzuki but it cost around 90 bucks for the **** tool. Makeing the tool it only cost me 5 bucks from Ace hardware.

Thats the locktite doing its job. You will want to make sure you use Medium Strength locktite when you reinstall.
