Front Sprocket Cover
Hi i cant get front cover off to change the front sprocket or am i missing something, undone all the allen bolts is there anything else holding in place thanks Peter
Re: Front Sprocket Cover
It should pop right off. There is one bolt that is not very well visible on my fzr600 (us spec).
Just check again with a light and make sure you didn't miss any bolts. If you did get all the bolts then the gaskets are holding it on. Use a prying device and be careful not to damage the parts while prying the cover off.

Re: Front Sprocket Cover
There is one in the 3 oclock. (Longer than the rest) and then 1 at 5, 7, 11, and 1 o clock. Then also the shifter linkage needs to come off. Should be a 12mm bolt holding it on.

Here is the back and you can see the holes where there are hex bolts. It's the only pic I had sorry that it is backwards and I can't circle them because they are in my gallery and not on this computer.

Re: Front Sprocket Cover
I'm guessing (ain't had my sprocket cover off yet) there are @ least Two locating dowels between the crank casings & sprocket cover, causing the difficulty in removing it.

Re: Front Sprocket Cover
Yep, 2 they are both to the left of the top most and bottom most rear bolt holes in my picture. So on the bike they are just behind the 1 and 5 o clock bolts. Everyone confused yet.

Therefore a very large hammer, using great big swings will sort it J/K
use a rubber mallet or wooden shaft with WD40 applied close to the dowels, tap away to break the corrosion.
