I would use a heat gun as there may be thread lock on there and should help undo. I've had to jump on my breaker bar in the past -
sorry but this section is for form issues not bike issues. I'll move it to the relevant section.

glad your bonding though, doing your own work can be very satisfying as you care more for your baby than anyone else can. If you can get those mesh covers on your seat, it should stop any pooling of water and hopefully keep you drier in the crotch area if that's what is happening

xs500 is a curious bike for sure, I think by the D model the head cracking was sorted

2 stokes need to back pressure to seal the incoming charge. whacking in the fuel via choke is just masking it. you need to carry out a plug chop, to ascertain the correct mixture and have a load of mains and pilot jets to change fuel delivery.
