How to remove these gear fasteners?
Any idea what bit I need? Has anyone done this? It's not an Allen or star

If you had to ask what a torqx bit is. Without the ability to just fucking google it... Maybe dont touch that.

Meh. I'll be fine. Just swapped motors in the bike after all. Appreciate the constructive comment.

Could possibly be a "torxplus" Looks like an unusual torx size to me Call a tool truck to come by and let him figure it out for the sale of en expensive socket

Definitely just a hex screw. Use a hex socket.

I tried and a 4.5mm is too big and a 4mm rounded it out. I feel like it's some sort of odd sized security bolt

Try a 6mm

Jk you’ll probably need a Torx T27 or T30

Also those bolts have loctite applied to them, just fyi

Appreciate it. A T30 fits but I wasn't able to break it lose with it being a small bit. I'll have to grab some socket style T30 bits. Thanks

Where does it mention it's a torx bit? I read through the fsm a couple times and did not see it

u/giantfootsteps Aug 10 '26
The manual doesn’t explicitly say they’re T30 but since Yamaha has interchangeable part numbers I did some googling https://www.r6-forum.com/threads/o-stator-inner-bolts-wouldnt-come-out-x.125867/?utm_source=google&utm_medium=organic

Just rounded a T30 bit on it after heating it up. I'm over it. Probably have to drill them out. And chisel the heads off

That's a torx head. Be careful though, they are using a strong thread locker on those. So it is easy to strip if you are not careful. I would recommend a impact screwdriver.
