<><><><><><><> <><><><><><><> Howdy, My understanding without ever having been inside an '08 KLR650 is the doohickey should be replaced. I'd get my parts from Fred at www.arrowheadmotorsports.com . Probably look under engine. You can make the rotor holder from a good quality 1 1/4" open end wrench if you have access to a torch to heat the wrench for bending. The rotor puller you're probably better off buying. Make sure you put a bit of motor oil on the threads before you install it.

<><><><><><><><> <><><><><><><><> Keith, Since you're going to be buying the doohickey and spring from Fred I suggest you also buy the rotor puller. You can make the wrench from a 1 1/4" good quality open end wrench if you have access to a torch so you can put in the proper bends. If you don't it's probably just about less expensive to buy the tools and have them instead of paying postage two ways to borrow them. Make sure you use oil on the threads of the puller before you install it.
