What's the best way to remove shift mechanism so can clean front sprocket? Do the nuts on the shift arm have to be totally taken off or can they just be loosened?

Yes you have to remove the shift rod. The front locknut is right hand thread while the rear locknut is left hand thread. Just mark it so you can remember where it was set.

Why mess around and risk damaging the rubber boot/ball joint when all it takes is a minute or two to remove the rod?
The workshop manual shows the same.
Sorry but the last time I posted a shot from my manual, I was asked to remove it by a moderator.
With all the Yamaha copyright nonsense going on I'm hesitant to post any pics from my manual on here, as I suspect it will happen again.
Ballmead is right on with the service manual description which, when ai look at it, makes sense. Because, it's how I did it without looking at the manual.
