If it is an early gearbox chain sprocket then the thread is left handed (turn clockwise to undo),. Make sure retaining tabs are flattened first. I found it needs an impact to start,

Left Hand Thread on the main…
Left Hand Thread on the main sprocket - once the tabs are pushed back.
If the engine is still on the bike & the chain is connected, you could put it in 4th gear and stand on the brake - or if the gearbox is apart, you could try a stout piece of wood through the spokes onto the swing arm.
Or if the chain is not there ary more, you could wrap a chain around the sprocket until it binds - but beware of damaging the breather pipe above it (on an engine numbered below 106838 - the breather got moved after that number).
