I'm telling you Kawasaki uses gorillas to put that **** nut on. I went through the exact same process on my zx6 last year. What a pain.
Changing Front Sprocket
Ninja 1000 ABS - after 60,000 klms had to change both sprockets and chain, socket size = 27mm, tried undoing with 1/2" impact drive, wouldn't budge, then tried with breaker bar, wouldn't budge, got hold of a 27mm single hex and a heavy duty impact driver, just spun the nut off with no effort. Helps when you have got the right tools.

1000 Gorillas tightened the front sprocket nut on my 2006 ZZR600. Could not get it to move with a 1/2 inch impact wrench when I did a 520 sprocket and chain conversion. Trailered it over to my local Kawi dealer. They rolled it in the shop and put it up on the stand table. The tech took a impact wrench and bam 2 seconds later the nut was off the bike. Best part of the story is they didn't even charge me. The nut was on the bike at 94 ft./lbs. of torque according to the service manual. More like 940 ft./lbs.!!!!!
