Following this thread with interest as well as when riding my daughters bike today it seized :-(. Pulled top end and OK there so something down below has gone pop. I have a couple of questions:-
- No trick to pulling the engine on these? Just remove skid plate front bars, swing arm bolt and anything else?
- Ordering a Flywheel puller, will an air powered impact driver be OK for everything else?
- Do you really need a crank case splitter for these engines?
- I am thinking new gaskets, main bearings, crank seals and anything else I find iffy looking. Are there any other things routinely replaced?
- Any recommendations for a one stop shop for all the bits?
