Is the trans sprocket nut on a 99 sportster reverse thread or normal

SOURCE: 76 sportster...is clutch basket nut reverse thread???

If its the same model that my mate had years ago, then yes - its a left-hand thread. Also, watch out for the big spring behind it - the nut will catapult away from the bike as the last thread releases - hold it in a big piece of rag to undo.

sounds unusual,i havent come across a gsx600f yet,but i do know that some models of earlier bikes,(not necessarily suzuki)use a left hand thread on the sprocket nut,so instead of trying to loosen the nut to the left(as one normally would) try going to the right (as if to tighten it),and if it is as i suspect ,it should come undone...hope this helps

The compensating sprocket nut is indeed right hand threads. It is torqued to 150-165 foot pounds of torque and usually has Locktite 271 (red) in it. A lot of mechanics go overboard with the Loctite. I've seen the entire inside of the nut "painted" with this stuff. The book calls for "two lines" of the stuff when putting the nut back on.

The easiest way to get the nut off is with a GOOD air wrench. I bought one of those Ingersol-Rand Titanium air wrenches. I've seen nuts on so tight that I've had to use a 3/4" air wrench to get them off. If you don't want to purchase an air wrench, load the bike on a trailer and take it to a tire store. Ask them to take the nut off for you. Usually they'll do it free but they may charge you a couple of dollars. It is worth a couple of dollars to get the nut off.

When putting the bike back together, the compensator sprocket torques to 150-165 ft lbs. of torque with two lines of 271 Loctite in it. The clutch hub nut torques 60-80 ft. lbs. left handed with one line of 271 Locktite. Make sure your torque wrench will torque in the left handed direction. Not all wrenches will.
Good Luck.

Testimonial: "Thank you very much i had already geussed that a rattle gun may do the job and sure enough it did i borrowed a 3/4 gun, and you were right it had a lo"

SOURCE: cant undo nut

No they are not left hand thead,normal r/h thread.
make sure chain is still on bike and front sproket and then try good rattle gun. if this does not work,put bike in gear and hold on rear brake and use long breaker bar, if still no good will need to heat front sproket nut with oxy set very carefully and rattle off with rattle gun while nut is hot

Sorry guys but its probably not!!! left hand theads the clutch nut is peened down on the threads dont beleive me look you eill see little lines or punch marks on the nut their is a special tool you can buy or you can make one like i did to hold the clutch hub still.You were on the right track with the impact wrench if that dont work you dont have a big enough air supply for the wrench good old elbow grease should get it i did it by hand after i had the tool. PS- you must punch the nut in a few places once reinstalled. I learned the hard way by breaking it first
