So after getting my first bike (05' Katana GXS600f), I have gotten myself into quite the dilemma. The bike was purchased from a dealer, whom received it from a repo. So there is no key, no exhaust, 'extremely' dented fuel tank, and rear Axel is missing quite a few parts. I've always believed if you understand something first, then you can respect it and learn from it. So building this bike up will be a challenge and cost some $$ so any advice is helpful.
Step 1: Get a key! I didn't think it would be this hard to remove a key to transport it to a locksmith to have a key made. I physically could not remove 1 of 2 - socket head capscrews that holds the brake/clutch levers on the Steering stem, but I was able to get the Stem nut removed (30mm Socket head). Also the two screws on the sides clamping the Steering stem to the forks were loosened.
Any advice on further steps to remove the Steering Stem it to get to the ignition switch?
