Hey my 08 TDM has a throttle lock on the right side (which I hate). I cannot for the life of me get the bar end undone to remove it. The original owner has used some type of industrial thread lock. Heating it and using a extension on the Allen key did nothing (except bend the Allen key..) I don't want to put too much pressure on it as I'm worried it will bend the bars. Am I missing something silly, even the left one is completely stuck. 25 years of riding I've never had this problem.
