Winter is approaching and college just started so I have a lot of work getting ready to get dumped on me. I was hoping to get this knocked out asap so I am ready to go for spring next year. I don't have a garage either, so all my winter car/dirtbike/snowthrower repairs are done in the cold.
I have done top end rebuilds, had the clutch apart, and have had pretty much everything else apart on the bike except splitting the crank. I have a clymer manual and it talks about special splitter tools and according to the manual, a press seems to be a necessity. I have some steering wheel pullers and others that may do the trick of their little kawi splitter tool. The press I will have to look around for.
Should I pull the motor out of the frame after removing the stator, clutch, barrel, etc.?
